I have only recently. like really recently discovered the world of yoyoing.
I am still waiting for my YoYo Factory DV888 and Grind Machine in the mail haha.
I watched a whole bunch of vids on youtube and other sites and just became extremely inspired!
So here i am, introducing myself on possible the best yoyoing website.
Thanks for reading. Hit me up if you wanna be friends.

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.

Welcome!

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.

Hey…My name is Jake. I used to yoyo about 3 years ago got to a decent level, basically through all the ‘advanced’ on Andre’s tutorials, but stopped for no apparent reason. Recently I started throwing again and bought a Shutter. Oh and I’m from the Akron Ohio area.

Hello everyone. My name is AJ, and I just started. My job doesn’t leave a lot of personal time in my life and I needed a hobby. Throwing a yo-yo is something I can do nearly anywhere, with any amount of time, so I bought my Duncan Imperial 5 days ago, and feel hooked. I can do a few of the basic tricks now. I even burned out my first string today. Anyway, I’m excited to be part of the community. I’m even more excited to get my next yo-yo. I’ve got my eyes on the String Theory Singularity. Mostly due to it’s size, and how it looks. I still have no idea what I’m doing.
