Introduce Yourself!

What’s up everyone! I’m Davis, I’m 18 years old and I’ve been yoyoing since I was 9-10 (5th grade). I’m one of the co-founders of Tropic Spins (which, unlike me, didn’t survive high school). I’ve been out of the yoyoing game for a pretty long time, and I’ve recently been getting more into it as I transition from High School to college. I’m from Massachusetts, so if you live around here I’ve definitely seen you at one of the YoyoExpert Throwdowns or at NER / MA States.

I’m a CS student at UIUC (or, I will be this fall) and I can’t wait to hopefully start TSYC back up again as a nice side project. It feels good to be back in the yoyoing community after being away for so long!

'Sup people. I’ve posted some, but never here.

I’m Pasi, a Finnish yoyo dude and someone who’s interested in toy making and tinkering. I’m a chemical engineer, a woodworker and a to-be machinist and have a goal of opening a small toy making shop someday, making skill toys, doll parts and whatever might be something worth making on the side of doing full time machinists job.

I’ve a dog, cat and a vet wifey as my family.
That’s pretty much me in a nutshell.

Hi,
I am Calen I am 10 years old and my favourite yoyo is the Hummingbird. I hope you accept me in your forum. I am from Canada and I have been playing yoyo for about a 1 year now. My favorite trick is the Gyroscopic Flop. I used to read through the topics but my dad suggested I start an account so I created one.:grinning:

I haven’t played the Draup but have played the Valkyrie which is closer related to the Humming. I also saw that you have a Dark Plum Humming which looks amazing. : D

i think i’ll avoid chefing. It sounds way to dangerous.
I’ll stick to watching cooking programs & Gordon Ramsey insulting people.
