I hear you, my youngest son is 6 and he struggles, I made the mistake of cutting his Yoyo string to what I thought would be his length, and it made it pretty much unusable, now I keep his strings longer and he plays off the side of the stairs or the couch.

Hello. My name is Tyler. I’m currently using an Avant Garde I got back in 2011. I have been yoyoing with year long breaks every now and then since 2006. And this yoyo is the only remaining one of my collection. Looking to get a newer wheel here soon tho. This is my longest break since ive been back and i see yoyoing so differently now. It’s been a blast and am looking forward to yoyoing for a long while again 
been working on some fancy new tech stuff I learned that came from Kierian Cooper and Takeshi Matsurda. I’m awful at spelling and probably those names are unrecognizable. Sorry.

No, I’m quite busy with my normal job and working on new stuff was very stressful. I’m sorry about that because a lot of players asked me about that.

It’s great to have you on the forums! Life gets hectic, we understand 
If you ever decide to make something again, don’t hesitate to send me a message. My wallet will be happily empty for one of your yoyos

It’s sad to see some of the forums going down. I think yoyoexpert is doing a good job keeping this one going!

I never saw or even looked for any other yoyo forums. In 2015 I was on r/throwers. One forum is enough for me. To me, it’s fun like Myspace and Facebook (and Twitter) used to be before all the jerkiness came in. I like how the guidelines keep everything here friendly and relatively focused but I can still get a good idea of people’s personalities and no one feels they need to post 5 selfies a day.
