that would be sad! … one less friend in this lonely world…
Hell my name is Alex. Im 16 years old and got back into yoyoing recently. Im at about intermediate level. Im still try ing to get boing E Boing to this day its just as hard as magic drop exept i can actually do it sometimes. My favourite yoyo is the Shutter.
Been on the forums a couple weeks, never made an introduction. Thought it was about time! I’m 21 and about 5 weeks into my yoyoing life. I’m absolutely obsessed so far. I grew up in the circus world doing anything and everything, but primarily juggling. In the past few years I’ve stepped away from that part of my life and I think it left me with a hole in my heart. Yoyoing was quick to fill that. And the community here at yoyoexpert has only solidified it! I’m lucky enough to reside in Northampton, Ma right now, which has allowed me to meet so many great people in this community, as well as help me succeed at a pace that far exceeded my expectations. I’m so thankful to have found yoyoing and this great community!!! So thanks ya’ll!!
Yo! I’m Rexor, a 19 year-old yoyoer (still not totally confident to call myself that way tho) from Philippines. It has been just exactly ten days since I played yoyo again. Yoyo clubs are extremly rare in my country, so it feels amazing to discover, join, and feel warmly accepted to virtual/online communities like this! On another note, I still remember when I had my first responsive yoyo that was during my 5th grade (10 years old) and the fun my toy gave me when I nailed cool generic tricks. I can’t recall how, but that same year my yoyo was gone 
but now here I am again, playing with my YYF Whip (my first and only unresponsive yoyo for the moment) and I’m planning on expanding my yoyo collection shortly after expanding my horizon, skills, and fun in playing. I’m currently working my way to landing the tricks in the “Expert” section of this site’s tutorials. I hope I continue receiving help from this awesome online community! 8)
Hi there! My name is Mohan, or you can call me tommy if you want : ^). I’m from China. 17-year-old and I’ve been yoyoing for 6 months. I had a touch of yoyo when i was in year 6, bought few bootleg cheap yoyos which were meh, then I completely ditched yoyoing till late 2015. I watched some Jason Lee’s videos(hes fckn awesome love him) and I WAS SO IMPRESSED. Then I got a 888x(hes signature 888s were sold out, i cri everitim ;-;)and restarted yoyoing from the beginning. Currently I’m learning on those expert tricks…still struggling with skin the gerbil. I’m attending high school in Auckland, NZ, not so many people knows about yoyos and getting an yoyo can be extremely hard (ty Yoyoexpert, also for the nice tuts by André : ^).
lel My English sucks, please dont bother correcting my spellings and grammar, thanks(ヽ´ω`)

Hey All, My name’s Rob, I’ll be 60 at the end of the month. I’ve been yo-yoing for years and years, on and off. Started with a traditional Duncan that I can’t remember and enjoyed that for a long time, sleepers, rock the cradle, around the world, shoot the moon… real old school stuff, I bought a rainbow all wood yo-yo, but lost it somehow… too bad. I never liked the butterfly style yo-yos after I tried a Duncan. Played spin top for a while (and marbles and boomerangs too) but eventually moved on to to other things (skateboards, riding my bike backwards, curb jumping and manuals).
Several years later I came back to yo-yos and ended up with a collection of Fireballs and Raiders. Wow, had yoyos changed! still have all those bad boys. Enjoyed that a lot and my play really improved. Then I went off to do other things again (mostly outdoors stuff like fishing and backpacking - yeah, you get to play with fire and there’s nobody around to tell you what to do ;-).
So now I’m back to yo-yos again! Started with a YYF Velocity and that was a good choice for me. I was able to transition to unresponsive play at my own speed. Next I got a YOYO King Dr. Small… it’s such a fun throw, I like the undersized yo-yos. Next was a Shutter, then a Might Flea.
Decided to go to the yo-yo museum for a day trip and accidentally found the CA State Championships! I met Eric in the YYE booth and bought a Lilliputian (thanks Eric!) and a Horizon. At the museum, my wife bought me a ReplayPro. A few weeks later and now I have a YYF Whistler and YYF Superstar. So the collection has grown quickly!
I’m working my way through the 1A trick ladder and just about mastered Pop n Fresh, so I’m still a noob, but I’m having a blast. I’ve been making different style yo-yo holsters from paracord and they’re starting to look pretty good! Anyway, I’m really impressed with the yo-yo community. Thanks for having me. You guys rock!.
To WoodRat (Rob),
I am so glad to see another 60 to 60 + join the throw. You are right, the changes in this sport are amazing. But the most important thing is still to have fun.
You are fortunate to live in an area where yo-yoing is popular. Where I am it is me and just me.
Welcome!

Hey everyone. My name is Josh. I’m 24 and I’ve been yo-yoing since 2007 or so, with a two or three year break between then and now. I’ve been lurking for a while and felt it was time to really join the community. I love you guys, and I love the sport, and I’m proud to be a apart of this. I exclusively play counterweight. Thanks for reading

Whats up Everyone? I just turned 30 y/o and haven’t yoyo’d since my mid 20’s. I am deployed at the moment and figured now was the best time to get back into it. I prefer to throw 1A. Just bought myself a OneDrop Top Deck and a Gauntlet. Waiting on them to come in the mail which could be any day. I am hoping it will only take a week or so to get back to my old skill level and then progress from here. Also, my kids are getting old enough to start throwing and i figure it will be fun to teach them.
Bemis!!

HI guys I just joined YYE recently and I am here to introduce myself.
I am Daniel from Singapore and I don’t have white vans, thanks, and I have been yoyo-ing for about a year and I just picked up 1A from 2A. I am excited to meet all of you and would be posting yoyo review regularly! anyone in Singapore can find me often at Spinworkx, i don’t work there though. i am pretty new to 1A so if i make any silly mistakes in my reviews, it would be greatly appreciated if you guys correct me and help me out!
Welcome ShadowManz and Lance111.
hello everyone,
my name is drew and i just started yoyoing about 2 weeks ago maybe 3. i bought one to reminisce of the old days in the 90s but got quickly hooked. i currently own yomega fireball, duncan pro z, a dv888 and dark magic 2 with more on the way. i have progressed from only being able to walk the dog to learn split bottom mount tricks. i am no means wanting to be a contest person but it is an amazing stress releiver. i am glad i found this endless pool of knowledge on yye.
Welcome aboard, dude! ;D
Hi there everyone. Im 35 from Versailles, KY. I started throwing in 98 and didnt stick with it long. After a coworker brought in a cheap dollarstore yoyo it peaked my intrest. So i was off to google to find a place to order a yoyo. YYE is where i landed. Now 6months back into throwing and i love it. I think i do have a problem though. I just keep buying more. LOL. thanks for reading.
Welcome and remember the number 1 thing: HAVE FUN!
Keep buying ey?.. I do believe you are suffering from the growing virus known as obsecious-yoyous-buyious. Few have been known to die of it as it does not have a direct affect on your health, but if the virus remains untreated people have been known to expend all monetary resources and starve themselves. I highly advise going to the nearest fast food restaurant to get a job to slow the effects till you can seek further help.
Good bye and good luck.
