Introduce Yourself!

Welcome to the wonderful world of yoyoing. :smiley:

Hi everybody my name is louie im 30 years old just got back into YOYOS after 18years of not touching one I stumbled across a video of the 2013 world champ janos and after watching that video I fell in love with yoyos all over again im taking learning tricks slowly but I really dig slack and whip tricks and green triangle tricks right now I’m learning on a yoyofactory shutter but gonna pick up some others in the coming weeks to learn on different types of throws

Welcome Louie! There are a lot of resources here to help you learn. Check out the BST, a lot of times you can get good deals on great throws by buying used. Welcome back to the world of yoyo!

Happy Throwing!

Welcome! I too caught the yoyoing bug after stumbling across a World Championship freestyle (Mickeys), so I know what it’s like to have that “I had no idea yoyoing had come so far!” moment. Good to have you back on board sir! :smiley:

I’m a yoyoer at my school and I use YoyoFactory yoyos a lot. I also use YoyoJam and One Drop. I go to YoyoExpert almost every week and I usually try out yoyos and I also buy things their.

Hello everyone; My name is Tyler. I live nearby the Portland area in Oregon and I love all that is Yo-Yoing. I’m a novice at this wonderful hobby at best, but I strive to get better with each passing day. (Can’t go a day without picking up a Yo-Yo. :stuck_out_tongue: ) My favorite Yo-Yo is the ‘YYF Shutter,’ though it’s currently is pieces due to the response pads falling off… My favorite trick(s) would have to be a tie between Branding or Kamikaze. I found this website through looking to buy my first Yo-Yo after watching some awesome videos on Youtube. ::slight_smile:

I am an enthusiastic yo-yoer who has been playing on and off for 15 years. In this time, I have switched my yo hand from right to left. Looking for other yoers in my community - Kitchcner-Waterloo, Ontario Canada. :slight_smile:

Darn, just a bit too far to make for an easy meet-up! I’m in Ottawa. Welcome to the forums anyhow! There’s an active club in Toronto and Nationals are planned for Toronto next year. Perhaps we’ll cross paths there.

Hello everyone, my name is Patrick from SoCal. Gotten back into yoyoing after a long break of 11 years (since my last contest). Used to throw from 98-03 and was able to give me the honor to compete against some notable names as well as winning some ladder contests. :slight_smile:
Although I dabbled from time to time, but never bought another yoyo since than, until recently got back into it when shopping online and wanting to get free shipping, added a Magic YoYo T8 Shadow and oh man what a difference of play.

My previous yoyos that I always used was the original duncan freehand, so with the few new ones I’ve bought recently has added some new ideas for tricks. We’ll see how things go!

Welcome to the forums Patrick :smiley:

I’m Jake and I’m relatively new to yo-yoing. I learned some things 2 years ago and I still remember them. In the past week of finding my yo-yo, I learned how to use my YYF Counter Attack and even added a counter weight to it. I am getting a Breast Cancer Edition Yo-Yo Jam Go BIG and I can’t wait for offstring play. Still can’t get used to looping…

^^ I suggest not going all out but trying one style at a time. But, anyways, WELCOME TO THE FORUM FAMILY!

(NOTE: Sometimes, we don’t act as friends but we are. Don’t worry, everyone’s welcome and liked) :smiley:

Hello everyone, old timer who just got his first unresponsive yoyo. Looking forward to learning all the new stuff thats happened in the past 10 years. Last new yoyo was a super spinfaktor, just picked up a revival.

Shouldn’t be a problem to pick up where you left off. When I discovered unresponsive it had been 25 years since I last rocked the baby on a wooden yoyo. :slight_smile:

Hi, I’m from chile. I currently own a YYF Shutter, a ONE and a DV888. I have been playing 1A for 5 months and waiting for a package with 2A yoyos and more 1A yoyos (I needed good plastics to practice so I don’t beat my shutter too much).

Welcome to the forums.

The Northstar and Protostar are really good plastics for the price.
