Introduce Yourself!

hey guys am valentino and recently i got hooked with yoyos

i have a FHZ and a magicyoyo N9 floating and am looking to buy a DV888

I am studying in bournemouth unniversity at the moment so feel free to contact me if u are around.

Hey Guys. I’m Clay, I’m 15 and I love to yoyo. I’m WAY into counterweight, simply because you can let go of it and that just opens a new world of tricks. I would yoyo when was nine but quit for a while. now I have three yoyos and I’m going strong :DD

Hi guys. I started yoyoing for about 6 months now. Im still kind of noobish. The best help i get is from my older brother. He’s cool. He’s been yoyoing for about 2 years i think? I share yoyos with him.my favorite yoyo is the velocity. It’s pretty darn nifty. That has been my main yoyo since ive started.

Hello!

I’m jumping ship from YYN (am I allowed to say that? anyway…) where, cool fact, I actually had more posts than anybody else. Oh, the joys of being young.

But yeah. Hi YYE!

Same with fzzyrn! Well, I’m more active on the other website […this is weird because I usually refer to YYE as the ā€˜other website’] than here in YYE. You’ll see me here if the forum activity there is slow and stuff. But then, I won’t be going online as much because I have school.

Been throwing for 15 months and I still suck.

Yo!

hi
im reniel 28 from philippines, just got into yoyo, been playing for a month now… my goal is to do all the all the tricks in this website to show off to my friends and a good way to take off stress ;D

Hello all,

My handle had been Jokker sense 97 and I am a big online pc gamer. When I was young I throw a yoyo when I work at an arcade. I lost interest in it as college and work took over. I have been throwing now for about a year and can never go back to not having a yoyo on my side every where I go, lol. I stop smoking cigerettes by replacing them with yoyoing, just keep the hands busy… The first yoyo I got back into the game was a Y-factor by one drop and it was amazing to me. Sad thing is that I lost it somewhere in Brandon FL one day wail working. I hope to get another one someday. I am an 33 this year and the guys at work messed with me for playing with toys, but my response has always been ā€œI would rather play with this yoyo and live life than smoke those cigerettes and die young.ā€

So that a little about me, I’ll be around…

The name’s Val ;D
I’m a 20 yr young girl :-*
I used to spin a lot in my childhood and been meaning to pick it up again but I don’t have enough money to buy a good yoyo. I am, however, saving up for a Dark Magic 2. I have $30dlls saved up so far!!
I’ve always been in love with the sport and I know one day I’ll be a contestant in a competition :wink:

My Name is Alfonso and I been yoyo-ing for about 4-5 months, my favorite is my campfire, and my favorite trick is cold fusion.

Good yoyo, good choice.

welcome to the board.

That’s really cool. Yo-yoing helped me quite drinking. It’s really neat to hear that I am not alone!

Hello,

Got interested when ball-bearings made it possible for me to actually perform rock the cradle and still have spin left to get a return. Since then I have learned one new trick every five years (now up to 3 tricks total).

There is something about throwing that has a calming effect in a hectic day. Even when it snags a knot and crushes my knuckles.

Hi,
I’m going by the name ā€œTotalArtistā€ here. I’m in my mid-30s. I just got into yoyoing a few months ago, because I always liked them when I was young, but I never took the time to get really good at it. In that short time, I’ve amassed a collection of about 32 yoyos.

My favorite yoyos are the Dark Magic and Freehand Zero, but I also like the One by YYF, and the YYJ Chaser. I also have an affinity for small pocket sized yoyos and I own several of them such as the Mighty Flea, Micro Mo, Aoda Mini, and Tom Kuhn Pocket Rocket. I even buy yoyos above my skill level, if they look cool, and I think they can motivate me to get better.

I’m currently in the Boston, M.A. area looking for a personal yoyo trainer, someone to give me one on one lessons. I’d love to get better faster and I am willing to pay someone to help me get better. Please get in touch if you know the right person in my area. Other things I love to do is play with my Rubik’s cubes, my bass guitar, and my PS3. I joined the forum hoping to learn more about yoyoing. Thanks for reading this.

Welcome Salubrious D. and TotalArtist! I’m a newcomer to these forums myself, but I can say with certainty that you’ll find lots of help and support here.

TotalArtist, you might want to look at some of the other boards on this forum for a pointer to a trainer. Maybe post your request on the Yo Yo Tricks forum?

Salubrious D., I completely agree about the calming effect of a yoyo, even when your hand is black and blue in places :slight_smile:

Hey everyone!

I’m Colin and I’m 13. I’ve been interested in yoyoing since I was 3 but I’ve only been yoyoing seriously for about 5 months. My first unresponsive was a YoYoJam Atmosphere, I hated it. 2 years later a got a YYF Plastic Grind Machine, it was great. For Christmas I got a CLYW Gnarwal and a YYF Super G and those have been my main throws since. My favorite tricks are anything that includes grinds or whips or both.

Happy Throwing!

Hey guys n gals my name is Tyshaney and I am 15 and yo-yoing is something I love more than anything. I have been yo-yoing on cheap yo-yos for a minute and they would break within two days. So I decided I should get a really good yo-yo. So I got the Duncan Metal Drifter on christmas and and have been yo-yoing ever since non-stop. ;D And so far I’ve already gotten into the Intermediate section.

Hello

My name is Rober and I’m from Spain.
I started playing in 2008 with a yyj kickside and I’ve been watching the forum for years …but finally I decided to register ;D

Welcome good to have both of you!

Hope you learn a lot and have fun here.

Hello, my dad taught me to throw a sleeper and walk the dog when i was 15! fast forward 20 years and as im walking through toys r us to buy a christmas present for a nephew, i spot the yo-yo section and saw a duncan metal drifter that caught my eye! i tore open the package and threw a sleeper and wow!! i fell in love! did some searches for yo-yo tricks and saw things that i thought were impossible to do with a yo-yo! I have been hooked and and in the 5 weeks of rediscovering yoyoing, i have learned about 8 new tricks and im working on eli-hops now! I am using the metal drifter mostly but working my way into the ilyy lynx and Sakura. Its definitely addictive!
