Yo people! My name is Erik and I just turned 17. I’m an intermediate player with a little experience in the background. I stopped yo-yoing about 4-5 years ago when music took the overhand, but now I’m back full force and I’m currently waiting for my recently ordered Dark Magic to arrive here in Sweden (can barely wait ;D ;D ;D). I got informed about this site on a swedish forum about yo-yo’s. Hope to hear from ya ;). //Erik ---

Hi, I’m XenixHero. I just received my first yo-yo yesterday ;D. I got the YYF Velocity, so far I LOVE it, I’ve practiced for over 3 hours today (6/11/10). Tomorrow is my little brother’s 4th birthday party and I’m going to use my yo-yo to entertainn his friends. I’m 13 years of age, need a TON of practice with my yo-yo, and love to (try to) invent tricks. I came up with one today(don’t know if it already exists), but I can’t seem to do it right very often \>:(. I also suffer from major string-burn. 😢 ---

if you suffer from really bad string burn you may want to try yoyo gloves ---

Hello all! Just getting back into the swing of things after somewhere near 20 years off. I don’t have any current favorite tricks or throws. I am however looking forward to getting something new and prefer metal or wood over plastic. Once upon a time a ran a “toy store” and spent much of my time throwing Yo while working. We had most of the top companies of the time and let’s just say work was play. Anyway much has changed and yet remains the same. I looking forward to regaining some lost skills…Bel ---

Hey guys! my name’s matt, i just got in to yoyoing like 3 months ago so not alot of tricks in my arsenal but what i do know im pretty good at what i do know! I like to do alot of things, like i do a little bit of skateboarding, yoyoing of course, i ride my bike alot, play basketball, and stuff like that ;D. if i really had to pick my favorite trick i’d say it is the gyroscopic flop. i recently bought an 888 without a center trac bearing for 120 bucks. yo not a very good idea. worked about as good as lyn fury so just gonna move on from that. so yep. thats about it ---

hi, my dad suggested making my username yoyo scout. I am a boy scout. I still however like yoyos 100 times more than scouts. The best yoyo I own is an hspin Pyro light. I was interested in trading yoyos. I’m trying to save up money for a Fury. My sister would rather have a lyn than her speedmaker. This is why I started forums. I don’t remember how I found this website, but it’s awesome! My name is a mystery… ---

Whats up guys! ;D I am a super suckish yoyo-er (or whatever you call it) and just started last week. I hate my Duncan Mosquito for the super responsiveness and the short spin time so I just ordered a YoYo Factory Velocity. The best I can get is a Jamaican flag trick and I am super stuck on the UFO and breakaway. I found this website while looking for a yoyo to buy and it is super helpful with all the videos and this forum so THANK YOU for this website and hello! P.S Was the Velocity a good choice for me and is my suckishness and hard times on some tricks because of my Musquito or just my beginnerness. ??? ---

If you’re doing breakaway and UFO with the velocity it wont work, the velocity is an unresponsive yoyo meaning you have to know how to bind (theres a video for that btw) Welcome to yoyo expert ---

Hello everyone. My name is Ryan and I’m pretty new to yoyoing which also means I currently suck (but I’m working hard to get better). I live in Omaha, NE and I don’t think anybody here throws. I currently use a YYJ Legacy because my Dark Magic is busted! \>:( I’ve been looking for an all metal and thought I might find a little help here. I’ve been thinking of a YYF Genesis, or maybe the YYJ Trinity to complete my “Andre Boulay collection” but I’m kind of scared at the price. Any suggestions? They would be much appreciated. ---

Hi Ryan. Just thought that I’d let you know that I am about 80 miles east of you! Welcome to the forums! Pretty much any of the high end YYJs are worth their weight in gold. So much different than the Hybrids and plastics, not to say that they make anything less than great. ---
