My names Dave and I’m from the UK. found this forum while researching whats the best Yoyo for a beginner getting back into throwing. I had a Duncan Proyo as a kid and loved it. got quite good with it but then lost interest when i discovered cars
Now i want to get back into Yoyo’s and I’ve ordered a Yoyo Factory Hubstack, a Yoyo Factory DV888, some spare strings, some thin lube, thick lube and a none responsive bearing for the DV888 so that should keep me busy for a while. Anything you would recommend for a beginner, I’m currently practising how to bind again. Eventually id like a horizon, an edge and maybe a string off Yoyo but I’ve got a while to go yet.
Hey, my name is caden and I live in Utah. I have only been to young for six months but I’m getting decently good and am trying to get better I currently have the skyva yoyo and I’m trying to save up for the horizon yoyo
Ive gotten into the pursuit after 25 years. I started with a Imperial and graduated to Butterfly. Got on with life and now that my son is 10 he has shown interest in learning. Boy how the game has changed. Just looking to learn more that I can trickle down to him . Its been a great bonding experience. Hes able to up and down his YYF Replay responsive now we’re going to swap out the bearing and get unresponsive.
Thanks again, glad to be back

Hey Caden…welcome…your out there near that crazy Mike Montgomery! Have you spoken to him thru his blog or web page? Beware my friend…he is nutz about yoyo’s!!!
Soooo…I was a member for a long time some years back. I believe my name was either authentic1x or itsauthentic but I can’t find anything pertaining to those names so I decided to start a new username. I hadn’t thrown in almost a year and for some odd reason I pulled out my case and picked up my dv888…it was such a refreshing feeling. I immediately fell back in love and my passion for throwing has returned. My 4 year old wants a yoyo now and I’m more than proud of that lol anyway, my names JP. I’m 28 and from mass with a fiance and 2 kids. I work in construction and that’s about it lol WHAT UP!!!
I’m new to the board. Just got a Yoyo Factory Replay Pro for Christmas – I’ve been using a Dark Magic II. I’ve been yo-yoing for about 1 year, but I’ve learned a lot in the past few months.
I got bitten by the yoyo bug about two months ago. Prior to that I have never even thought of yoyoing since I was 10 and had a 3 dollar Duncan butterfly. I bought a responsive dv888 and learned how to handle picture tricks and beginner string tricks. Bought a shutter a month ago and I am loving learning 1a string unresponsive tricks now. I am so stoked to progress and get such a kick out of learning new tricks. I enjoy the peace of mind yoyoing brings me and the hand eye coordination. I used to be an avid skateboarder but can’t find the time anymore. I can pick up the yoyo and spin for ten minutes or two hours. Plus I don’t get as injured ! What yoyo should I buy next ??? I think I’ve found my new passion. And my wife thinks it’s so cool too !!
My intro to ‘modern’ yoyos came from Dylan Kowalski on Youtube. I found his video about recovering from ACL surgery since I am recovering from the same thing… Looked around on his channel and saw all the other vids… and thought it was cool haha. Its also something I can do while recovering.
So far I have tried
Magic K1 (failed due to slight manufacturing defect causing it to eat string into the bearing)
YYF Hubstack … I liked that one but gave it to my cousin
Magic K7. Fun one so far but it snaps back into my hand too hard lol.
Hi,
I am a new yoyoer at a pretty young age.
right now I am using a YoTricks ONE yoyo but am looking for a metal upgrade. I have not used unresponsive play but would like to try.
Yoyo yo! I go by zxin, I casually collect & play with retro games, OD yoyos. I’m a general hobbyist, I’ve always loved computers, and I like yoyoing. Thus, we are here! #oldschoolBBCode
New yo-yoer… Just got my first yo-yo for christmas, and just started learning the basics. Didn’t realize there was such a huge following for this hobby, and decided to give it a try for myself.
Came for the bst seen here. Like yoyos why else would I be here. If you like yoyos youll eventually find out about yye. Hoping to find some good deals on some cool throws. ;D
Greetings everyone I’m from Rockford Illinois and was playing online and decided to check the museum page out, as I heard it was going again! I’m more a collector than a player these days, but still dust them off every now and then. I’m very interested in how other collectors display their collections. Feel free to send me pics/info as I want to move from curios to wall mounted displays.
I already posted here a while back, but it’s been over 6 months since I was on the forum so I’m re-introducing myself.
My name is Jerwin, I’ve been doing string trick yoyoing for about a year and a half with lots of looping tricks before that. I lost my yoyo last July and I wasn’t able to get a new one until recently. Now I’m using a Protostar and re-learning all of my tricks. If anyone needs a stupid remark, just PM me.

Hello everyone on YYE, its been a super long time since I have been on here, and I have even taken quite a break from yo-yoing due to family emergencies and my own health problems. I’m posting this to let everyone know I am doing okay, (for now) and I do think about you guys as a community, and as a family. I’m slowly picking back up where I left off when I was yo-yoing. I cant wait to post videos, pictures, and of course threads here in the forums. My yoyo skills have diminished sadly, and I’m no longer as good as I once was. But I’m just happy to be back and being a thrower again. I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to seeing you on the threads, and you can find me on IG.
