Ummm thanks! 
Hi Peeps,
I remember having one of those light-up yoyos (with the two AA batteries) as a kid and being able to make it go up and down pretty well, and that was it…fast forward a whole bunch of years to this past summer when a friend at work had a Duncan Dragonfly on his desk and I was all, “Hey lemme play with that!” I could barely walk the dog or rock the baby, so he gave me a Duncan Mosquito since I have small hands and he thought it would suit me better. He jokingly said, “Ok, learn two new tricks by Monday,” and I thought that was sort of a homework assignment. I Googled everything about beginning yoyoing, starting with how to tie a slip knot, and eventually ended up here. I did come back that Monday having learned two tricks from the tutorials here ;D and I’m now working through the advanced tricks (though on a different yoyo than the Mosquito). 
@kat - welcome to yoyoexpert!
I knew I remembered your username. I bought a yo-yo from you via the YYN forum. Do you remember what it was? No biggie if not but now it’s bugging me.
Welcome!
This is pretty much exactly my story, I could throw a good sleeper 10 years ago with a X-Brain, and fell out of the loop since then. Then this summer I saw my friend had a Duncan Bumblebee on his desk and I was shocked that they actually finally put bearings in yoyos. So I had to get one and I started here for tutorials. Now I have spent nearly a grand or more on throws (16 total yoyos) and I am up to the expert tutorials here.
Cool. What kind of yo did ya get? I am going through the tutorials here as well, love how they help. Welcome to the forums.
Yes, I do remember you vegabomb. You purchased a G5++ from me :). Nice to see you still around!
Thanks! I’ve since gotten around 10 yoyos trying to figure out what I like. I’m currently pretty into the speedaholic, and the genesis from the mystery box.
That’s it!
Hey! I’m Keiran
I’ve being yoyoing for ages now but i don’t play with it everyday, more of a Kendama person atm, but i usually take turns of what i’m into, haha. Despite the fact i’ve being yoyoing for some time now i still ain’t too good but when i want to learn i can usually pick things up quite quickly.
At the moment i have a YoyoFactory ONE and have being wanting to upgrade for ages but i spend all my money on other things :3
My other hobbies are: Fingerboarding, skateboarding, yoyoing, drawing and kendama, i recently got a Terra Pill and i’ve being unable to put it down just lately 0_0
Welcome!

I started yoyo info when my friend showed it to me. My first yoyo was the yoyo factory velocity. I learn most my tricks here. Any one have any recommendations on yoyos they like?

Hi, I’m a mother of some young yoyoers, 10, 8, 6 and 1. I am the official knot remover. I’m learning a lot of stuff about yoyos from the kids and looking to find answers for the questions they ask. My oldest loves this website and I have found that it has been very helpful.
Welcome! glad to here your getting good at untieing knots
Wow…a mom who unties knotz for her kids… that’s sooo cool. I’m jealous, this christmas I’m gonna knot my yoyo and see if my mom will unknot it for me.
Haha me too.
I’ll make sure to do it on a kitty instead if a high end string though because my mom will not do that.
Welcome to the site! My oldest should be getting close to the time he wants to throw a yoyo or two, but I’m not picking knots just yet. The youngest just turned 1, so a while to wait there.
Well back in the day (like 3 years ago) my mom and dad would untie my knots cuz I didnt know how but now Im a pro knot untier
Ha. Who needs boy scouts when you got yoyos for knots!
