Hi, I’m Justin. I’ve been yoyoing on and off since 2011 I’d say. Just started getting back into throwing again. It mainly serves as a nice break from thesis writing or meditative activity. I don’t really know the names of my favorite tricks, but I’m working on Ryota Ogi’s rolling speed combo thanks to Mrmatio’s left-handed tutorial on YouTube. My favorite throw is probably the YYR PerfectStar, but ever since I got my hands on a Triptych, I’ve been digging that pretty hard.

My name is Mystik and I started throwing a little less than a year ago. Although I’m new to yoyos I have a great deal of experience with other props including but not limited to: poi , staff, dragon staff, double staffs, contact juggling, diabolo , isolation hoops, fire eating etc. I’ve been a fire performer since 2003 and have just kept picking up gear.
Around Thanksgiving 2018 I found my way to yoyos and learned solo until I went as a spectator to Texas State comp. in Feb '19. (Austin). I met several people there including a guy from SA (where I’m from!)
Now the 2 of us host Alamo Yoyo Club on the last Sunday of the month.
I throw a lot of Duncan’s and am finding myself acquiring a decent sized collection in a fairly short time.
I’m not quite ready to throw 3a, but ima get there soon enough.
5 styles ftw!

This is from when we did Sea World a couple years back. It was for the ā€œJack’s Backā€ show - a Halloween season event. I’m the one with the Mohawk.

Hi; my name is Mo. I was born a long long time ago. I was very young at the time.

Basically speechless. Somebody else named me because I failed to suggest a name for myself.

My favorite hobby was sharpening large kitchen knives. But nobody would play with me.

I started using yoyos as a diversion therapy. As long as I throw yoyos; it seems to be much easier to keep my promise to myself; to never kill again.
