Good luck and happy throwing
Hi I am Ben and yoyoing is my passion
I may not have much time to yoyo because I am a kid and I go to school but that doesn’t stop me.
some of my favorite yoyoers are Eric Koloski, Ben Conde and gentry Stein.
My name is Jon I’m a U.S. ARMY veteran. I’ve played dama for almost a year I used to throw when I was younger doing nothing more than basic picture tricks and trapeze variations. I’ve picked it up with in the last month or so and have been just utterly addicted to it. Currently I own a Shutter, a SHU TA, a C3 Winning Bird and a CLYW WM1 hulk splash. Today I learned boing e boing and can do magic drop and shockwave as a nice looking repeater. Kwijibo has also been fun as well! I’m looking to get better every day and appreciate the great community here. I’m looking to get a G2 throw next and want a yoyorec Diffusion2 for my first plastic. Thank You everyone for being so awesome.
hey Jon thank you for your sevice, and have fun in this awesome sport.
btw you stole my name! lol
Hey Jon welcome and thank you for serving. I am sure if you get a Diffusion you will really enjoy it. I
Hi everyone. I just recently got back into yoyo’s after giving my 7 year old one for xmas. He isn’t all that interested in it, but I played with his velocity for hours 
I never really learned any tricks when I was yoyoing in the mid 90’s, but with this amazing thing called youtube I have been slowly picking things up over the past week or so, trapeze, front mount, some picture tricks, etc. I am even getting binds down which is something that really frustrated me for a day or so.
Thanks for the awesome forum and for all of the great information that you all post.
birchi: All I can say is: WELCOME Dad!
Hey everyone,
My name is Seth Raymond and I have been yoyoing for approximately 6 months! I am currently in the Dallas Fort Worth area in Texas and love learning new tricks! I hope one day that I will be good enough actually compete professionally and maybe even make it past pre-lims! However, I know I have lots of practice and training ahead of me! I crave to find/start a yoyoing community around my area so please find me on Facebook if you would like too!
Welcome Seth
Hello everyone,
I am Nitro_Lizard, but you can just call me Nitro. I just started yo-yoing after recieving a novelty drugstore yo-yo for Christmas. The moment I started playing with it I was instantly taken back to 6th grade. I forgot how fun it is. After two days strait of practicing the trapeze and going through two cotton strings I broke the yo-yo from tightening it down to much. That was a hard lesson learned, because I then had to wait a week for my F.A.S.T 201 to come in the mail. Now that I have it, every spare moment goes to mastering the tricks from the video section of this site. I can’t wait to learn how to bind so I can buy the trigger. The 201 is great, but sometimes the teeth grabs the string in the middles of a trick. It’s a great beginner yo-yo, but it can sometimes be annoying. I’m currently working on the double or nothing and I think I’m close to hitting it consistently.
This seems like a great community and I can’t wait to read all of the advice listed here. Thanks in advance for the warm welcome and I look forward to reading your posts.
welcome Nitro! Hope you enjoy your stay, it is a great community! Feel free to pm me if you need advice on new yoyos or help on tricks
Hello
My first yoyo was a fixed axle coca cola cheap thing given to me for participating at the local park in a yoyo lessons demo some 38 years ago give or take. I sucked and it hurt my finger so I never developed any proficeny. Shift to the present time, at christmas I bought a few starter yoyo’s so I would have something to do with my nephew who expressesed interest. Wow have things changed. Picked up a yyf velocity and a Sage from another site. Gave my nephew the sage and I kept the velocity. I’ve learned how to bind and some of the simple tricks but I knew there was better for learning so in goes the order to YYE for a HitmanX and Protostar.
Anyways so much fun. Must learn some new tricks tonight.
Hey! I’m Ryan. I’ve been yo-yoing for years but I never really took it too seriously until the past few days. Right now, I use a dv888 and can’t really do anything more advanced than Spirit Bomb. I can’t wait to improve my skillz and stuff.
Also, I’m a musician.
Like a lot.
That’s what I mostly do.
kthxbye

Hello, my name is Boone and yo-yoing is my passion. I am 14 and I love to yoyo! I have been yo-yoing for around six months and I really enjoyed it. I was first interested in yo-yoing when my friend started showing off some tricks and I thought it was awesome! I later won a beginner yoyo and found your website. It is an amazing website and I just wanted to thank you. This site has helped me so much and I think you all are amazing! I received a dark magic 2 (my dream yoyo) for Christmas and it has been awesome. It is my favorite yoyo. I hope to keep moving on in my yo-yoing adventure and I am so glad that Andre Boulay made those videos. I have learned a lot. Thank you!
Andre Boulay is my favorite yo-yoer!
As a fellow Drummer I say Welcome! Just continue to practice and you will be amazed at how much you will learn.
