Hello, all. I did some basic yoyo as a kid and have always wanted a decent “modern” yoyo. My son got the Duncan Metal Zero a while back and that got me Googling for tricks and such and now I have just bought my own Hitman Pro. I’m doing a lot of bind-attempt, wind, repeat right now. Frustrated by thumb or spin starts being too wobbly and slow to bind back. Ah, the throws (!) of being new at something. I come from a long series of hobbies that require practice (juggling, skateboarding, guitar, etc.) so I know these things take time. Hard not to have a buddy to coach me. Going to look for some locals. Looking forward to learning.

Hey, I’m Dale coming from Okinawa, Japan. I’ve been visiting this site for almost a couple of months now for yoyo tricks and tips, and I finally decided to make an account. I’m currently throwing a YYF Whip and JK, and want to invest into some better yoyos in the future. I’m not really that skilled, but I come here to learn (:
Nice to meet ya. Same here! =p Im not all that good, but practice makes perfect. I spent 8 whole hours straight just learning double or nothing and matrix.
Hi all! People call me Logan. I’m a 16ish year old sophmore in the middle of Indiana. I pass the time with yoyoing and videogames. Yoyoing is a new hobby of mine, but I can already tell I’ll be passionate about it for years to come. My first yoyo was and is a YYJ Equinox, mostly because I think offstring is one of the cooler looking divisions. I’m decent for this being my 2nd week, but I have much room to improve on. I heard about YoyoExpert while looking for review sites. I love forums, so I’ll spend a lot of time around here. I’ll see you all around the forums! ;D
Hi, my name is Juan nice to met you.

Hey guys, my name is Rob. I’m on YYNs forum as well, figured I might as well join this one so I can get the most out of the community!
My current favorite throw is a toss up between the Wet Whistle or the Gnarwhal… I go back and forth throughout the day. Looking to pick up some more CLYW soon.
EDIT: A little bit about myself:
I’m 23 years old
Done 5 years in the Army Nat’l Guard, just reenlisted for another 6
Going back to college after a deployment and a long hiatus
I’ve only been throwing for about 2 months (modern style anyways, I threw a lot when I was younger)
My other hobby is cars, I have a 2000 z/28 Camaro, waiting for me to put on a turbo kit and feed it some e85. Hoping for 700ish rwhp on the stock motor.
Hello everyone welcome to the forum hope you like it here.
Hello, My name is Blake, I’m a 23 year old college student and advanced yoyo enthusiast in Gunnison, CO. I learned to yoyo years ago from John Higby and Jon Gates in the Denver area. I used to go to all the comps on the colorado front range until about 10 years ago. Recently I have decided to start my own yoyo club in Gunnison because there is a large movement of kids becoming engaged in the sport. My favorite yoyos are my SR-71 and my MiniMotrix and my favorite tricks are spirit bomb and kamakaze. I didn’t actually know this site existed until the kids told me about it but i’m glad it does!
Hey I picked up my first yoyo when I was 12 and I learned simple tricks, I just recently started to yoyo everyday and I have learned most of the tricks on the learning list and I am also starting to add them together. I love many tricks (Boingy Boing, Budhas Revenge, Leg Wrap Trap, and many more) I would love to me Andre because his videos have tought me everything I know, I even use the yoyo he uses, the Dark Magic 2, I love that yoyo. I use it so much that just now my response pads fell off lol. I love to yoyo and will keep doing it thank you yoyoexpert for all of the help.

hey 
my names adrian, 17 years old and im from atlanta georgia. currently im in a boarding school in cummington mass right outside of northampton. i started doing skill toys when i was 12. it began with penspinning and than went into fire poi and contact juggling. ive been doing poi for 5 years now. i wanted to pick something up new and i realized i had always wanted to learn to yoyo so i went out to a2z and bought a journey. instantly i began to pull of advanced tricks for a first timer (trapeze, double or nothing, etc) i was so suprised because growing up my brother had a duncan and i always saw him do simple tricks like cradle yet i couldnt even do a gravity pull. now ive been throwing for about 9 months and ive far surpassed what i ever thought i would be able to do. im here to learn 
whoa dude you do fire poi?
yep started when i was 12.
My coworker does Fire Poi. ■■■■ is crazy.
That’s a quarter for the swear jar 
Hey Forum!!! Whats up ;D. My name is Primo. My nickname is Vinny though. I strated to yoyo on and off a year ago. I wasnt really that serious back then but now i really want to get into the hobby. I started to learn tricks from here and i finally made an account. I live all the way up here in Canada and no one in my area yoyos. Im pretty lonely here and i guess you could say I want to join the yoyo community. Thanks and see you all later ;D ;D
