Introduce Yourself!

^this exactly!

Hello all,

 I'm Alex I recently got into yo-yoing after a gift from my mother (duncan imperial) reminded me of the fun I had in school with these things. Being 26 with a family now it is a lot of fun to show my son new tricks with the YYF One purchased this week (the imperial is his now, he's 5). I'm trying to learn 1 trick per day for 30 days and so far I'm ahead by 2 days. I look forward to improving my consistency and trying out some of the awesome yo-yo's available online. Is it possible to develop a new yoyo purchasing problem?

Thank you,
Alex

It sure is fun when you can include the kids. Welcome to you and your son.

This is related to a previous post I made about the little known virus obsecious-yoyous-buyious note the following excerpt was taken from a response to someone else question.

“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

What is a reasonable time frame to feel like I should upgrade from the yoyofactory one. I feel like I could have longer sleep times, less response, and easier to catch on the string.

I guess you are ready. Thee is no time frame for upgrading because it is entirely up to you and your wallet.
BTW Welcome!

How do I delete posts? I’ve already introduced myself…

Hello everyone! For our anniversary this year my wife got me a yo yo because she knew that I had been wanting one for a while. I used to mess around with one in middle school when it was still a fad, and I always thought it was fun and missed it. I think I had a yomega brain back then.

I just got a new yomega raider and I’m enjoying it except for the fact that it becomes unresponsive about five minutes after I lube it (I have some responsive lube from yoyofactory). That’s the main reason I discovered this website–I wanted to ask someone if they knew why that keeps happening.

Beyond that question, I am really excited to have an account here. I would really like to make this a serious hobby and from what I have seen, this community is quite friendly and chill.

Blessings,
Dyn

Hi I’m winter from Quebec canada
Started the yoyo about 2 months . I own 3 yoyos , a dark magic ,a dv888 and a one x.
I know all the tricks in the beginner section. I’m now at split the atom

Hi bro, i’m from Québec also! Where do you live in qc exactly? Because if you live near the mtl region, you can go in our yoyo meets.

Québec cit

Lac st Charles plus précisement

Maybe its a little too far in this case. But i think there is a facebook groupe for yoyoers around quebec city.


Now all you have to do is get your wife to start throwing. WELCOME!

Do you have the addresse of the Facebook page ?

Hey everyone! My name is Will, I’m 22 next week and come from the UK. I’ve tried to yoyo in the past, but only with cheap ones you’d get from the supermarket and I never really researched how to do it properly. Recently I’ve been looking for something to keep my hands occupied and looked into yoyos. After watching some YouTube videos and doing a bit of research, I decided to get a Fast 201 as my first yoyo. I’ve never been able to properly throw a yoyo so really excited to see how I do!

Hello fellows yo’rs.I’m 46 and just picked it up a few months ago.
I’m addicted to buying yoyo’s,my most expensive is a Kuhn that was around $35.Bunch of YYF plastics,YYJ Dark Magic,Vigilante and cracked X-Con.Some Yomega,nothing really expensive.I actually like the Magicyoyo’s.Some wobble,but some are really good for cheap.
I learned to bind and do a few tricks,but always learning.
Nice to be here! :slight_smile:

There are two yoyo addictions. Buying and throwing. Both are habit forming and FUN.
Welcome!

Got 3 coming today.
Thanks for the warm welcome!

Welcome to the forums! It’s a great time to get into throwing. There are so many helpful people and resources available. Have fun!
