Welcome to the forums! Glad you got to know about yo-yos through other skill toys! There’s probably some threads about Kendama and Astrojax in the #Unrelated Discussion section. ---

Welcome @Mooky! As an aside from yo-yos, I just wanted to thank you for the work you do in the field of adolescent mental health. I’m glad kids and teenagers have good people out there to support their emotional development! ---

Hello! My name is Nikita. I’ve been throwing yoyos since 2010 and then stopped in late 2013. Only left OD P2 as my all time fav yoyo and never sell it. In summer 2022 I’ve accidentally jumped on yye and remembered all the good days and people connected with yoyos. This is my comeback 😃 ---

Hi, All. My name is Jason. I dabbled with yoyo’s a bit about 10 years ago but they didn’t really click at the time. Out of nowhere I got the impulse to jump back in over the last year. More experimenting with shapes and brands than anything, but I’m having fun! ---

Hi Jason, and welcome to the forums! One of the best things about this place is the sheer number of different designs of yo-yos you normally wouldn’t see. There are some really neat pieces that get posted, especially stuff from independent makers. I hope you have a good time checking it all out, and figuring out some favorite throws of your own. ---

Welcome to the forums! Glad you suddenly got that impulse to jump back in. The variety of yoyos nowadays is mindblowing, you could probably spend your entire life just trying every single yoyo. What yoyos have you been trying out lately? ---

Sounds awesome! Looks like you’re leaning towards yoyos that are more chill and laid back in play with those two favourites of yours. Those yoyos you have been playing lately are all pretty slim, are you looking for a yoyo that both plays great and fits nicely in your pocket? ---

I just find slimmer yo-yos fun to play for some reason. My latest purchase is a Sasquatch, so it isn’t an exclusive preference. ---

Nice that’s great! I love slim yoyos as well, great EDCs and are super fun to play with. They are also great for improving your accuracy. Hmmm, to be fair the Sasquatch is also kind of slim as well, in relation to its diameter. ---

Hey. My name is Rusty and I just really got into yoyo in the last 4ish months. Last yoyo I owned was in elementary school during the yoyo craze of the late 90s. Now throwing a Thesis Invictus, ZGRT Basilisk, or Offset Yoyo Deviant and also have a Shutter and Canon I will pick up from time to time. I’ve found it to be a great, productive, stress relief hobby I can do while watching tv after work. ---

Hey guys, so I’m usually posting everywhere on here but I don’t think I’ve ever really introduced myself. My name is Austin, I’m 26 and I am a Colorado native (shoutout to all my 303 peeps!) I am currently getting my degree in cyber security. I started throwing when I was 12-13 for maybe a year or two, found expert village and Andre’s tutorials, then just now picked it up again maybe 3 months ago or so. So still shaking off the rust a bit and trying to remember certain things! My favorite throw of all time is a OD Markmont or a CLYW Gnarwhal. My current is either a Duncan Grasshopper Gtx or OD Thorn. My favorite trick is any variation or way to get into a green triangle. Outside of yoyo, I love sports, video games, crime documentaries, working on/racing my drag car, and almost anything outdoors. I’ve already chatted and what not with quite a few of you but I hope to do so with many more! ---

Welcome to the forums! Are your yoyo skills rusty? Just kidding. Glad you have found yoyoing to be a great stress reliever, most people find yoyoing to do the same for them as well.
