Greetings All,

I’m from Dallas Texas and have been throwing Yo Yo’s since 1977. Still trying to get the hang of newer unresponsive gear but am slowly figuring it out. Also make wooden yo yo’s and spin tops for fun. look up you tube channel for “big blue workshop” https://youtu.be/KK4AwilXfCE
Looking forward to learning from this group.

That was a cool yoyo build! How many have you made like that? Have you tried making a butterfly shape?

Thanks for the response. Yep. I made a few Butterfly style by using a larger router bit on one side of the disk and leaving the other side uncut. Picture isn’t great.

Howdy folks, I currently live in Tennessee and have in the last few months gotten back into throwing after a long break. My daughter got a Duncan Butterfly as a cheap stocking stuffer last Christmas, and after helping her get some basic tricks down, I fell back in love with it. I have gotten myself back to a decent level and am personally amazed how far the art has come since I last played around in the 90s. I got my first Imperial in 77 when i was 6 and actually did it pretty steady up until my 30’s, tossing to pass the time in high school, through the military and into college. Glad to find a p;ace to catch back up on the art, from lingo to technique so much has changed, and i look forward to learning more.

That’s a tough one Beeebon. He had a slightly turbulent start, but season 25 and 26 are brilliant. I have a soft spot for Battlefield and Ghostlight. Fenric and Remembrance are always excellent :slight_smile: How about you?

Yeah Ghostlight and Fenric are my two favourites along with Remembrance of the Daleks! Silver Nemesis is under rated too

Hey everyone! I’m 17 and fairly new to yoyoing, but I am really enjoying it. I had a few yoyos laying around from some sort of camp I went to when I was 7 or 8, and decided to pick it back up. I hope everyone is doing well! :slight_smile:

Welcome to the forum, buddy! Please post a photo of the yoyos you already have. I’m just nosey. Everyone here is a beginner at different levels and we are all learning. We all learn at different speeds too. I used to get intimidated by the skills of people here.

Yeah, definitely. That’s why I got the Freehand Nextgen, I like it quite a lot. Thinking about getting some new bearings for the older ones too, maybe response pads as well.
