Hey guys, my name is bill and I’m a fresh yoyo fan. Used to be the big thing here in Michigan in the late 90’s early 2000’s but died. Got a free yoyo at a race convention and was hooked immediately. Broke it the first day so had to go buy another. I went to a local toy shop and got a toy smith hyper spin stainless for 10 bucks! Two weeks later I’m excitedly waiting on my pink and blue Dark Magic 2. I figured go big or go home so I went for broke (as soon as my wife said I could lol). Anyway, gonna try and aster all these tricks here at yoyoexpert.com. Love the site and the new hobby, hopefully I will be posting some cool vids when I’m good. Later y’all.

Welcome to the forums

Good choice on the DMII its perfect for beginner to advanced play

Have Fun Throwing ;D ;D

@GregP

Welcome! Enjoy the heck out of that DM2. I’d be surprised if that ends up being your last yoyo. Not because you will ever need another one (DM2 can take you all the way, with a few specialized exceptions)… but because you will want another one. Or twenty!

I did my research and figured it would last me and be able to do any trick I might wanna learn. Love the friendly welcome, thanks Greg!

I have throwing for just over a year now, and after working through many of the tricks here I found out the forum . Andre is one of my yoyo heroes! Just wish I could speed up my Kiwijibo, revolutions and other tricks.

[Kray_Dewsbery]

Alright everyone I’m kray I’ve been throwing for around 6 months now. I feel like I’m really progressing and starting to put together some quite complex tricks I’ll upload videos soon and hope you can all help me progress and get better cheers all

Hi

I’m timo cashman (tee-mow)
I have been yoyoing for three years and have gotten pretty good at it
My favorite trick is hour glass and am currently working on “and whut”
I have a yyf 888x and yyj vigilante
They are amazing yoyos
I live in charlotte North Carolina and attend Yoyo clubs with Ed Haponik
My favorite yoyos are 888x and anything clyw

I want to buy either a clyw BVM2, gnarlwahl, or puffin, but I can’t decide. Please let me know which one you recommend and why. Thank you

If you want the most replies, there’s a “looking for help/recommendations” sub-board around here somewhere. But until you find it, here are my thoughts:

BvM2 is a wonderful piece of pure performance that manages to still be fun. Nobody can go wrong with a BvM2. OK, that’s an overstatement. But it’s just great.

I do not like the Gnarwhal much. It’s a perfectly fine yoyo, but it’s nothing special for my tastes.

Puffin… how do I love thee, let me count the ways… yes, the Puffin is one of my all-time favourites. I would take a puffin over the BvM2 despite less “pure performance”. It’s just really delightful to play. Comfy in the hand, wicked great for grinding tricks, still has plenty of spin and stability (more than the Gnar). I will probably always have a Puffin in my collection. I talk about the fun factor, but let’s not forget that Palli has also competed plenty with it, so it’s not like competition play is “out”.

So yeah… BvM2 for fun and performance, Puffin for quirky yet joyous.

Thank you for the advise, I went with the YYF One (budget). just got it in the mail and am begining my yoyo journey. Gonna take alot of practice . I can see already. Looking forward to learning from all of you.

First off I missed the welcome wagon but better late then Never. Good luck to you as you journey into one do the most diverse and amazing communities you’ll find yourself becoming a part of!

3 things that will help you keep the love of the yoyo in your hand and heart would be

1. Remember this yoyo it’s just a toy so enjoy it like such
2. Come see us if you are having trouble and find yourself at a stand still possibly the easiest way to curb discouragement!
3. “Practice doesn’t make perfect, practice is perfect!”
   -Ed Haponik

Just keep throwing and you’ll be thinking your are breaking physics soon enough too!

Hey guys! I have been yoyoing for about 1 week and I love it. It is something that I can put my whole heart and soul into and hope that others can find yoyoing as relaxing as I do. My favourite yoyo at the moment is the Shinwoo Zen 6 as it runs very smoothly. I love the split the atom trick as it is the coolest looking one I can do so far.

Have a blast yoyoing!!!

Welcome man, I’m totally new too and currently working on drop the bucket I think it’s called. I am 2 weeks in and I bought a good throw right away too (dark magic2). Totally relaxing and tons of fun, ahhhh just listening to the zzzzzzzzz of the bearing makes all things disappear for a moment!

Hello everyone, I used to yoyo a lot when I was younger. I was never any good just loved to yoyo with all my friends in school. Have not touched a yoyo for many years and then one day a few weeks ago my daughter came home from school and said they had a school program where people came and put on a yoyo show for them. She was interested in getting a yoyo. So I went and bought her and myself a duncan butterfly which was the thing to have back when I was younger. Within a week I had found this site and bought a dv888. I have been having so much fun and I love reading through all of the threads on this site. I am looking forward to learning and getting better. From everything I have seen so far everyone on the fourms are great.

Hello everyone. My name is Joseph and I joined the yoyoexpert forums in order to speak to other yo-yo enthusiasts like me. I am from Cumberland County Virginia and I am currently broke and in collage, so I don’t have the cash to buy my dream yoyo, but I don’t mind because I have had the same DM2 for over a year and it throws better now than when I bought it. I am 24 and I am new to the online world, so I don’t use things like myspace,twitter,etc.

If you want to gab you have to catch me here.
