> [@whatisfear96](#): > > Hi, my name is Chris and I am currently 13 years old. Being new to highschool, I lost track of all my old hobbies and eventually abandoned them in the pursuit for grades. It wasn’t until I found my first yoyo and my second one (bought in summer 2008) that my preferance for them reignited. Back when I was about 6 in Hong Kong, a chinese dubbed anime about Yo-yos had all the children hooked. Being one of the norm, I eventually persuaded my parents to buy me one. The yoyo was strange as I recall it now: It was an imperial shaped yoyo with starburst response, yet its trans-axle bearing was made of wood and eventually broke due to its friction with the caps. Later, I bought another yoyo by the same company, Auldey. That yoyo was called Polar Wolf, and is sitting by my desk right now; waiting to be replaced by my soon to be X-Convict. Polar Wolf was, like most asain yoyos, was a trans axle starbusrt release yoyo with a clutch mechanism. I first experienced some form of sleeping when i did the only two looping tricks i knew of : hop the fence and around the world. Later, I found out about [yoyoexpert.com](http://yoyoexpert.com) in a desperate attempt to learn.My favorite trick is Tidal Wave as I view it as a gateway between sleeping and looping. Now, I have ordered my X-Convict, and is waiting for it to arrive as my Polar Wolf is incapable of holding a Trapeze/Man on Trapeze/ W/e u wanna call it. Welcome to the world of yoyoing and the forum. You will love the X-Convict but it will turn unresponsive once the bearing breaks in. so be ready to bind. ,Brayten, ;D ---

Uhh… Hi? My name’s Brandon and I’m uh… 12, yadda yadda yadda. (there seem to be a lot of 12 year olds :P) I’m a very experienced programmer and yoyoist (I think that’s what you call a person that plays yoyo 🙂 As you can see, I love smileys :-\ ;D 😛 And… just to show off, I know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, NSIS, AutoHotKey, squeaky on C++, and learning Java. I’m currently learning Yuuki Slack and Bucket Hops (Can’t get the dumb thing to bounce :P) I started Yoyoing at around 6 (I’m exaggerating :'(), when [NED](http://www.thenedshow.com/) came to my school. My parents got me the Super Sonic (bought from NED), and all I wanted to do was rock the baby. Since I couldn’t (my hands were too small) I stashed the dumb thing in my truck and forgot about it for 4 years. After about 2 years of playing with responsive yoyos, I got the 888 from China 😃 My favorite trick at the moment is eilee hops (no even sure how it’s spelled, it’s so simple yet so amazing). And uh… Hi! ;D ---

Hello, My name is Willie and I’m addicted to yo-yoing. (Hello Willie) I’ll be 30 in January…my, how the time has past. I’ve been yo-yoing for 12 years! I have some clip videos, as well as beginner, intermediate, and advanced instructional videos on my youtube channel [youtube.com/yoyomagic](http://youtube.com/yoyomagic) I haven’t made any videos in a while but I’m seriously thinking about making a comeback. I’m currently a full time student at Ohio University studying to become an American Sign Language Interpreter. Which should be no surprise since ASL is a lot like yo-yoing without a yo-yo! Anyhow, I’ll see you around! ;D ---

Hey! My name is Joseph. My friends call me Joe. One day I was on the web and saw a yo-yo video on youtube. I researched a little and what I found blew my mind. I started looking around and found a local toy store called the Wizard’s Chest that sold yo-yos and I finally got my dad to take me. Coincidentally, The day I got there was a sunday, and they have a weekly yo-yo club on sundays. Also, The day I went there, The Duncan Crew Tour was there and I saw some amazing yo-yoing. Despite the recomendations of the people in the store, I got a YYJ Andre signature Legacy as my first yo. When i got home, I started playing it and got instantly addicted. I found this site of Andre’s and quickly decided he was the coolest guy ever. I started learning tricks and playing alot. That brings us to today, I am still playing a couple hours a day and trying to get perfect… by practicing ;D ---

Hello there. My name is Tasso Nikolov, but people generally lean towards calling me by my nickname, Taco (hence my username). I actually started yo yoing in the 4th grade but i lost some parts to my FHZ so i stopped. Now I’m in the 9th grade and have rediscovered yo yoing! My favorite yo yo is currently the black knight. I am learning 1a tricks but i would like to go back to 5a, since that’s what i was doing with my FHZ way back in 4th grade. I was happy with my black knight but with no trick book in sight, i quickly found myself remedying the situation on google. That’s how i found myself on this wonderful site!
