Hi everyone my name is sean leppellere, i live in San Marcos CA. I just started yoyoing about 2 months ago and i am already in the expert part 1-2 section. yay! Oh and im 13 years old. I’ve always liked yoyoing but always with like the up and down ones. I just got my first yoyo wich was a Duncan bumble-bee from the shop at downtown Disney from a guy named Logan Willis. And then i got a flip-side now i have the too H.O.T and the werrd minute. And am saving for the bonfire. And im a Christian thrower.
Whats up my name Is DYLAN I’m 12 started when I was like 9 learns all the basics of responsive yoyoing I kinda stopped yoyoing after my yoyo broke got back into it like 3ish months ago and wheat straight into unresponsive yoyoing. I’m really good now thanks to to vids at yoyoexpert.
The way I found yoyoexpert is, as soon as I got a unresponsive yoyo I was surfing the web for a place to learn tricks, found yoyoexpert I was not expecting these awesome forums tho but everyone has been super helpful.
just found this forum and you seem to have it all…
I may be your oldest yoyo’er not sure just maybe. will be 70 in september and have been playing with yoyo’s since about 7 years of age. I am not too bad, not great but have decided to start up again and am going to order the
Dark Magic II in Hot Pink…
I do have other yoyo’s though this will be my first metal.
Hi! My name is Buggot. I’m 15 and a noob when it comes to advanced yo-yoing, but I have been obsessed since I was 5-6 and my school had an event where you could buy yo-yos, and with yo-yos I find on promotional tables :P.
One day I saw a yo-yo ad on the internet and decided to get a good yo-yo. Me being dumb that I am and knowing NOTHING whatsoever about responsive/unresponsive, I bought a YYF Whip. LOL!
Obviously, when I tried to get it back “up”, it wouldn’t. Somehow I learned how to bind by myself, albeit rather weirdly. I’ve then learned how to bind the more efficient way (Thanks, ■■■■■■■■■■!).
I’m currently deciding whether to buy a good-ish quality responsive yo-yo and learn that way, or just skip that part and just learn unresponsive with the Whip that I have. What do you guys think? I’ll probably make a topic on looking for a new yo-yo soon aswell.
Well, that’s it! I hope I get to know you guys real soon!
Thanks! Is there any starting point/website to recommend for learning unresponsive tricks (Besides Yotricks)? Also: Can you do responsive tricks with an unresponsive yo-yo? Thanks again!
yotricks is what i use its great for me
YYE has there list of unresponsive tricks.
And the responsive tricks on unresponsive yo? Some might like rock the cradle and walk the dog but others like
The creeper and such will be hard cuz the unresponsive isn’t responsive
I never try responsive on an unresponsive yo
I’ve been checking these forums out for a while, but didn’t register until now. I’m pretty new to the hobby. I actually started a year ago and got through the beginner’s section of tricks on this website with my Dragonfly and then later the Velocity before getting a new dog that really took up all of my excess time. I never forgot the fun I had learning tricks, though, and so I’ve taken the hobby up again. I currently have a DM II in the mail which I’m very excited about.
I’m another older player at 53. I started at 5 years old with a Cheerio yoyo which I still have. I have yoyos spanning different eras reflecting my on & off relationship with yoing. I have ancient fixed axles to some of the latest metal offerings. I live in CLYW country, literally, their world headquarters is a few miles from my place.
I still remember like it was yesterday when I was 6 successfully executing the creeper (hence, my handle; it seems more sinister than it is but I went with it all the way with it anyhow) the first time causing an explosion of endorphins in my brain. I guess that what keeps drawing me back. I’m not a yoyo zen master but I am working my way up the yoyoexpert trick list. I’m currently at advanced part 1.
Also, I recently ventured into kemdama. Currently, I’m at beginner 4th kyu level. I don’t know if I’ll keep up with the kendama since it’s a sinister little device that I’m starting to realized takes more time than I figured to advance with.
Whenever there’s progress, no matter how small, it’s a good day.
Cheers
