Hello Everyone, my name is Julie. Living in the Virginia/ DC area, I’m in my 20s.
I was expose to yoyoing by Ann Connolly, she was my classmate in high school, I did very little yoyoing in high school. But I stopped, and just got back to serious yoyoing a couple months ago, so I’m just a noobie here 
favorite yoyo is YYF Czech Point.

Hey y’all, my name is Flynt. I’m pretty old and have had the luxury of watching the evolution of this game transpire. Over the years I’ve picked yoyoing up and put it down, several times. The World’s was in Cleveland this past weekend and I live in Ohio, so I got to check it out… once more I find myself inspired. I like to think I have a fairly decent arsenal of tricks and learning new ones is a very enjoyable way to spend my time. I love my collection of high ends and am looking to grow it without paying top dollar all the time. I figured the best way to do that is some networking with those of a shared interest. I’m working on the Bewilder tutorial on CLYW site. I’m waiting on some new strings and just flowable siliconed all my old pieces (the ones whos responses have worn off). I love how muscle memory will bring a trick back from what seems like nowhere. If you live in Ohio and want to share tricks HMU. If your’re looking to lighten your collection and are cool with a little haggle… HMU.
Let it spin!

Hi! Thank you! A young lady spun to a Queen song, had a queen shirt on, and she tore it up. It was on Friday btwn 3-6. I’d like to find out her name. I’d follow her if I knew. She had the crowd captivated, like Freddy. I’m not even sure how she placed.

So far I’ve pretty much learned most of the intermediate tricks on the trick tutorials on this website . Working on cleaning them up . Don’t always have the cleanest returns to my hand.
Anyway hi,

MarkD,
Thank you kindly. That’s the one. I have respect for anyone that gets up there to compete, but she was definitely the stand out. Second place!
Nice work, young lady.

I started throwing recently this year! I stoped cos my string broke and I was too lazy to get another. I was using The Yomega Brain Yoyo. Just last week I got the N12 in the mail. I was sooooooo happy! I became obsessed and practiced at recess and lunch. Sadly the next day I dinged it so I stopped playing on cobblestones

Welcome to the forums! Don’t worry about the dings… over time you’ll learn that your oldest, most dinged yoyos will become the ones you care about the most. I would trade most yoyos in my collection for my first unresponsive yoyo, a YoYoFactory 888 that I dinged up and traded away (sadly).

Welcome @Kaji. You are not alone, I think quite a few of us have more throws than tricks.
