[josephadams183]

Hey people I’m 15 and am not a total noob, just mostly. I just learned and whut as well as white Buddha. I have a yyf shutter(awesome) a Duncan metal drifter and I’m gonna pick up a one drop benchmark v this weekend. When I started about three months ago on a whim I was amazed at all the tricks and just kept going. I hope to learn some cool tricks and meet some cool people.

Hi! From Tallahassee, FL. New to yoyoing as of a few days ago.

Actually, I played a little yoyo back in my middle school days in the 80s, when yoyos were a big fad. Nothing special … sleep, walk the dog, return …

Interestingly, I apparently learned how to throw the yoyo “correctly”, underhanded. Have no idea where, who or when I actually learned to do it! When I watched an intro video, I was surprised I was throwing it right!

My son was playing with a $3 Duncan Imperial yoyo a few days ago, and he expressed interest in learning more. I told him I had some old yoyos from my days, He was interested in seeing them, so I pulled them out of storage. One is a Duncan Butterfly, and the other is a Duncan Wheels (black with silver trim). The Wheels is in surprisingly good condition from what I remember. I estimate these yoyos about 30 years old.

Anyway, last weekend I took my son to a local store and we found a couple of fairly nice entry level yoyos. I bought a Duncan Freehand for myself, and got him a Freehand Zero.

I’m getting used to my yoyoing again, and have taught myself binding. Getting on the string about 50% of the time. Can use some more practice, but I’m happy with my accomplishment. Figure I’m about ready to convert the yoyo to unresponsive, as I find myself not needing to return from the bottom very often.

Welcome! I am a neighbor being from Panama City Area. Yes, practice and use the tutorials at this site. And I hope your son progresses.

Well, I’m Kenneth. I got into yoyo’s years ago when my dad was going through his " Mid-life Crisis " so to speak. I am now 19 going on 12 with my new DV888. Since I got the thing, I’ve been yoyoing non-stop for the first time in a long time. I have no regrets for picking up a yoyo again, for it has brought the joy of childhood back to my life… It also keeps me entertained in the barracks, not to mention the other soldiers as well

Thanks Andre!!

I know how boring the barracks can be. Keep your mind entertained with yoyo’ing. I wish I would have had one when I was stuck in the barracks or out on deployment.

Hello! My name is Mahnogard, which is Dragonham spelled backwards and that would take way too long to explain. ;D I’m 39, and just started yoyoing again (today!) after 20+ years. I just love that this forum exists.

Back when I was in high school, a fellow student clued me into the fact that yoyoing is great for stress relief. Within a couple of years, I had a nice little collection of yoyos. But sometime in between moving to Nashville and when I went back a couple years later to get the rest of my stuff from my parents’ house, they went missing, but I didn’t really notice. Yoyoing had been forgotten.

The other day I was watching an old tv show and there was a kid walking down the street with a yoyo. Something just clicked and I immediately went online to buy one. Wow, have things changed! I ended up getting a green Henrys Lizard just to see if I still “felt” it. It came today. I still feel it.

A yoyo, for me, is like Xanax on a string. I plan to start collecting again. Maybe even get some of my old tricks back. I used to be able to throw almost horizontally, so that people thought I was throwing something at them. That was always good for laughs. For right now, though, I need to work on my basic throws. Work out the wobbles.

I bet you will remember everything you knew about yoyo’s. Nashville is a good town and I have family there. Also 39 is a good age.

Thanks! I don’t know about remembering everything, though. We’ll see. When I can do an ATW without bonking myself in the head, I’ll be happy. Makes me really glad I got a lighter, plastic yoyo with rubber bumpers.

I couldn’t agree more.
