Hi! My name is Joel. I haven’t picked up a yo-yo for about 16yrs, until… 3 days ago where vendors at my job handed out promotional yo-yo’s, which re-ignited my interest again. I am horrible at the moment, but i hope practice will change that. I happen to stumble on to [yoyoexpert.com](http://yoyoexpert.com) when i was searching for tricks. Hope i can learn more and put my own style to tricks(or even find what my style is). ---

I have been yoyoing for about 10 years but honestly only doing tricks and practicing for about 10 months now. since the discovery that i can do tricks i have found out that i love to yoyo and i often time mess up my tricks trying to watch them. I wanna take a sec to say the advice and learning i have gotten from this website is priceless thanks to all… ---

Hello! I’m Jamie, I’m from North Yorkshire, UK, and currently live in Austin, TX, USA. I have been yo-yoing, or throwing, or playing, or whatever, for just under a year, and I’m having a blast. I’m certainly not at competition level yet, I seem to be a slow burner…Im no natural when it comes to tricks, but I do my best, and have fun with it. I suppose you could say that my skill level is ‘basic advanced’. I can do bits of tricks, and try to throw them all in together, for example, I can do a bit of a white budda, a bit of yuuki slack, a bit of and what…Thats fine with me, I shall go at my own pace, thankyou very much…I am the proud owner of a YYJ Dark Magic, and  YYF Boss, which I like equally. 1A and 5A is where its at for me. I am also a musician, and have submitted my music for various yo-yo vids, for example, you know that sneek peek vid for the YYF 44? You heard the tune, right? That was me… There ought to be a link just below for my reverbnation page, but if not, then here it is… [http://www.reverbnation.com/mrbear](http://www.reverbnation.com/mrbear) There’s loads of freebies here… Anyway…More ramblings soon probably!

Oh, for crying out loud…Whats bigshot about pointing out ones capabilities, or in my case, lack of capabilities? Im a slow learner, and i’m comfy with that and was merely pointing it out.

What up I go by jim or james whatever you prefer. Werd anyways I have been throwing for about 4-5 years now, and I am starting to hit something of a snag. I hope to get a lot more improvement in the summer. Just out of curiosity any body know how a guy can learn to yoyo in Salt Lake. Despite a lack of serious skill I am something of a yoyo collector. If you want to know about a yoyo in the under 20 bucks range there’s a 50/50 chance I can tell you about it. My personal favorites are my die nasty by yoyo factory, I still like the kickside and lynn furry. I usually love just dinken around with most any yoyo my only dislikes are a few yomega’s and my duncan all metal. (With duncan it wasn’t due to how it performed it was because that sucker broke in about a week \>:() I am also some what nestalgic in that I really like buzz on yoyos which as of late haven’t been on the market. but enough about that my favorite tricks are the crowd pleasers like eli hops. in fact eli hops are my absolute favorite come to think of it. Easy trick, but my friends love it whenever I bust out a yoyo and do it. ---

Easy trick, but my friends love it whenever I bust out a yoyo and do it. Buzz-on industries was actually shut down by YYJ. Buzz-on industries produced the Dv8, a metal rimmed yoyo, a characteristic usually seen on YYJ yoyos. YYJ’s patent was a yoyo can’t have a material on the rim that is denser than the yoyos structure… something along the lines of that. Buzz-on has been shut down for 5 years now. ---
