Welcome to the forum. I also got back into yoyo when my kids showed interest earlier this year. Ordering new throws can definitely get out of control quickly, be careful lol. ---

Same here lol. I’m always throwing while listening to Teams meetings if I don’t need to be on camera. Nice way to pass the time and learn new tricks. Welcome to the forum. ---

Hi Everyone, my name is Philippe. I literally got started yesterday after having a dream about throwing yo-yo’s around. My 7 year old has a few Yo-Yo’s that his older brother gave him. So I took it upon myself to start learning using his Y Omega Gamma Brain Yo Yo. Right now, I can only sleep the yo-yo and juuuust starting to walk the dog. Baby steps, right? I ordered a Sage Yo Yo last night, so I’m looking forward to that. ---

Welcome to the forums @PCon0718 and @Bigbaggyoyoer28! @Bigbaggyoyoer28 you can just post the trick you’re having trouble with in the #Yo-Yo Tricks category and I’m sure people will help you. Moreover, I think there are some people here from Maryland as well so they could meet up with you to help you. There’s probably a club you can join as well. > [@Maryland Throws](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/maryland-throws/361462): > > So back in the day, 15 years ago or so, on yoyonations forum these “local” threads were really popular things. I met a lot of cool people on there and these local threads really helped meet people and just gave everyone people to shoot the breeze with about yoyos online. Plenty of meet ups came from these but it wasn’t even the main purpose, it was really just for some comradery even for the people who never showed up to anything. Personally I’m getting back into yoyoing after probably 10 years… ---

Hi all! My name is Britton, I’m a 35-year-old tech worker living in Tampa, FL. I’m new to yo-yo collecting/playing, and working on trying to learn the “first 50 yo-yo tricks” list. I’m not having the easiest time learning from YouTube videos, but I will say that this community has been amazing and super welcoming. I look forward to practicing and improving every day! Edit - just as a discussion topic, here’s the yo-yos I have currently collected: MK1xSpinworthy Red Blood Cell (I love it), Spinworthy thin Survivalist, 2x OD Deep States, and an Edgeless for my unresponsive practicing. ---

Hey all! My names, Michael and I’ve been lurking for awhile. I decided after getting a YYF shutter and a legend wing to join the fun since yo-ing (yo-yo-ing? Throwing? Throw- yo-ing?) Has taken over my brain. I grew up skateboarding and have recently got into yo-yos through Astrojax and Kendama. I’m an adolescent mental health technician and will be going back to school for comp si/engineering (Ideally merging the two.) I love the community and hope to be a worthwhile contributor! 😘 [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/introduce-yourself/51.md?page=376) [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/introduce-yourself/51.md?page=378)
