Hi. My name is Emil, I’m 15, I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I’ve been yoyoing since I was very small, in fact, I still remember the day when my dad taught me how to do a sleeper. I know about half of the intermediate tricks, that’s what I’ve been able to do with my crappy yoyos all my life. That’s it for now, expect more from me when I get my Atmosphere. :wink: ---

It’s actually a funny story between Norwegians and Swedes I think. Guleböj means Banana in Norwegian, but in Swedish its banan. The speak very similar language, and I guess guleböj just sounds funny to Swedes. It’s kinda like an Australian guy saying “Barbie” here in the USA. Correct me if I’m wrong guys. ---

Guleböj is fake Norwegian, directly translated to “yellowbend”. It just sounds kind of Norwegian-ish to us Swedes. ---

Hola! 😃 Escalprillo here! im from Puerto Rico, i’ve always loved yo-yo’s but was always stuck at novice tricks so ended up quitting for some time… my GF and i decided to get ourselves a new yoyo so we went to toys r us and got the Duncan pulse ( it wasn’t bad, but we dominated it too easy) and ended up getting 2 YYJ Legacy ( lime green for her and purple for me \<3 ) I for my self want to get better at it because here on PR u don’t get to see yo-yo’s moving as it should… and people still see yo-yo’s as toys. my fav. trick has to be the bind, idk why but i like it xD… even tho i don’t think of it as a big trick. anyway tnx for having this great page, i love it \<3 ps: excuse my English 😛 ---

Hey my name is Ryan and i started yoyoing about a month ago and i’m currently in the advaced section. My current yoyo is the dark magic and i love it! I found out about this site on google cause I was looking on how to do some tricks and I think this has a lot of good videos so it really helped 🙂 I got in to yoyoing cause my friend had a yomega brain yoyo and I thought it was amazinglly fun. So i went to the dollar store and got a cheap one dollar yoyo, but it just didn’t last that long so I upgraded to a mosquito and then to the dark magic. My goal is to win the world contest 😃 P.S. my favorite trick is DROP IN THE BUCKET ---

Hi my name is michael but u can call me mike. I have been yoyoing for about 5 years on and off and i have gotten pretty good. Im not the best thats for sure. I heard about this site on youtube and i thought that i might chek it owt. Once i got here i started buying immidiatly hahaha. I purchased a dark magic and a dv888 i couldnt help myself to the great prices. My favorite yoyo so far is the dv888 and my favorite trick is the Mcbridle rollercoaster which i lernd from one of andre boublay’s videos he is the best. I just want to go to a state contest and be apart of that and that is my goal. ---

I’d recommend that you take a look at the other YoYoJam Bi-metals. We’ve got 7 other bi-metals available from the shop: [YoYoJam – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/manufacturer/2/YoYoJam) Each one is unique, so find which one you like. All of them can handle any trick you want to pull off. Or, if you want to, go for an all metal yo-yo. The Metal FHZ isn’t the most recommended metal at the store. Try looking at the YoYoFactory Fundametals. The Dv888 is one of the most popular metals in the store: [YYF DV888 – YoYoExpert](http://shop.yoyoexpert.com/product/34/YYF-DV888) ---
