Hey folks, just another 30 something getting back into it. I have some very rudimentary 1a skills, looking to take up some 5a. This seems like a great place to absorb some knowledge. Hope to see yāall around.

Hello, my name is Zac. I am rolling up on my 2 year anniversary for using this forum and throwing in general. I have never introduced myself, I am a procrastinator, I guess now is the time.
I am 30 and just a casual player. I dont have a grasp on complex tricks but I do have the basics down quite smoothly. Just recently started a new career, on 3rd shift. My throwing has declined as a result but I am still at it.
@ChrisFrancz I am very pleased to see your return!

Hi.
My [expletive] coworker re-introduced me to throwing. It has been 15+ years and I have never thrown an unresponsiveā¦
So here I am, with a handful of throws en route (that wonāt arrive for like another weekā¦ ugh)ā¦ But excited to be here.

Iām theā¦ ahemā¦ guy Nic is referring to 
. No regrets convincing him to buy fun toys.
I used play responsive a lot back when I was younger but fell out of the hobby sometime in high school. I stumbled across one of my old yoyos in a dusty box about six weeks ago and couldnāt put it down. One thing led to another and now Iām dragging my coworkers into the hobby!
Iām thoroughly enjoying the unresponsive yoyos that Iāve picked up in the last couple of weeks. Iāve been spending quite a bit of time watching the how-to videos from yoyoexpert and another site with a great youtube channel. So far itās been great fun and my wife doesnāt mind (much).

Hello, I am Michael and I have picked up yo-yos off and on since I was a kid. I would throw them until I loose them. Two weeks ago I picked up a yo-yo from Walmart and started doing the simple throws and tricks I know. I then went on YouTube to see if there were some tutorials for more intermediate tricks and was blown away. Before I knew it, I was knee deep into a new trick. Right know I am working on the mind bender and was having difficulties with my Duncan Butterfly. as of yesterday, I have put my Duncan Butterfly down because I got a YO-YO Factory Whip. I really love this yo-yo. Iāve always thrown Duncans because thatās all I really knew and honestly, thaās all I really saw in my local stores. Now I know better. I am looking forward to earning and growing my trick repertoire.

Hey now Duncan has some advanced yo-yos the Roadrunner comes to mind. Of course Iām a bit of a Duncan fanboy.
Lol

I never knew that!! I just looked it up and I know exactly where it is. Iāve actually walked past it several times. I never noticed it because I wasnāt throwing then. But now that I know, you can bet I will be going by there. As a matter of fact, I may take my wife to dinner at one of the restaurants at Disney Springs. And we might just happen to walk by the Duncan Kiosk. Lol!!
