Hello! I am Cody Wright! I love Yoyofactory, and I never use any yoyo that isn’t Yoyofactory. My Favorite Yoyos are the YYF Primo, YYF Protostar, and YYF MVP. I am from Virginia! I have only been to 1 Contest so far, and that was the VA States Yoyo Contest 2010, and I got 13th Place. I have a Record of Eli Hops. My Record right now is 150 Eli Hops in a row, and I have a a Nickname that Ann Connolly made for me: “The Eli Hops Kid!” I plan to make a lot of Youtube Videos, Compete in a lot more Contests, and be Sponsored by Yoyofactory! Those are my Goals, and lets see if I can Achieve them! 😃 ---

Well I have been on this forum for a while but I just stumbled across this thread so… My name is Evan, I have been Yo-Yoing for about a month and a week now. My favorite trick would have to be Gyroscopic Flop. My favorite Yo-Yo that I own is the Yoyofactory Tactic, my favorite that I don’t own would probably be the General-Yo HatTrick ---

Hello everyone, I am Leo just chiming in and saying hello after lurking for a month or so. I want to tank the forum for all the info given so far and Andre for being awesome, I had a messed up bearing in my 44 special and I was sent two replacements asap from yye, they have been patient with my orders as well having changed a genesis order to an undeniable edition after placing the order.

My name is Rulon Doman. Currently 34 years old with a lovely wife and 3 little ones. I have always liked yo-yos. My dad had introduced me to yo-yoing ever since I was a kid. My dad was good enough with a yo-yo that he was in the Guinness Book in the early 80s. However, he was an old school yo-yoer. All yo-yos back then had solid wooden or metal bars in the middle of them and bind returns didn’t exist. To give you an idea of what I used most my lifem my dads favorite yo-yo was the Duncan Wheels. I have always be “ok” at yo-yoing. I recently found this website and it has really gotten me back into yo-yoing. I would like to give my personal thanks to Andre Boulay for making the site. My backgroud has given me a strong solid sleeper/breakaway and trapeze/braintwister that has sped me through all the intermediate and advanced tricks in a little over a month. In April I got my hands on a Duncan Dragonfly and 100 yo-yo stings. 2 days later I got a Duncan Freehand, and not long after I landed a Duncan Metal Zero and a Dark Magic. Exactly 7 days after I got my Dark Magic I succeeded in breaking my 2 front teeth and got 6 stickes in my bottom lip from a bad bind. After fixing my teeth that made my Dark Magic my most expensive yo-yo at $415 ($45 for yo-yo + $200 dentist bill + $170 dollar urgent care bill). I now practice with a mouth gaurd. I lost my Dark Magic. I think my kids got a hold of it. So now I am currently sporting a Trinity with a Ceramic Koncave Ball Baring. Which I would like to say is a VERY nice yo-yo for moving into the expert level tricks. I look forward working on my yo-yo tricks. Maybe someday I will even go to a competition. ---

So… here we go! I’m 28. I used to throw about 10 years ago [not very good]. My son came home with a yoyo one day that brought back a ton of memories. We’ve been throwing together ever since! Currently he’s throwing a Kickside and I’m using a Protostar. That’s the short version. 🙂 ---
