Welcome aboard from Pennsylvania!
Hello all! Names Brandon just getting back into the yo-yo scene as I left right after high school 5 years ago. But now Iām back and excited to see whats new and improved! Site improvements are amazing well done! Wish I could remember my old account info was using a different email and password back then had well over 100 trades with all positive feedback but it looks like that system may have changed now too! Look forward to some wheeling and dealing! Thanks.
Welcome back. Lots of good stuff going on!
Hi, my name is Raymundo, IĀ“m from Mexico, IĀ“ve been yoyoing on and off for 4 years ever since I started in university as one of the ways to pass the time between class periods. IĀ“m a physician now, and I tend to carry a yoyo with me whenever IĀ“m at the hospital. I enjoy yo-yoing a lot, I feel that is a great way to exercise you motor skills, and way to express yourself and is something that is always evolving, you never know what thing you and others may create with a yoyo.
Welcome to the Forums! I feel the same way about yoyos. Iām glad you joined us. Post some pics if you can of what yoyos youāre currently using.
Hi, my name is Luca, from center Italy.
I am new in yo-yoing.
Just found some little kids yo-yo in my baby Halloween pack and jumped to a yo-yo trick websiteā¦ I was impressed from how many nice things we can do with yo-yoes so I bought a Yomega Power Brain XP and enjoying my first very basic tricks like walk the dog or rock the baby
My curiosity is raising questions on different aspects and I am sure to find answers here.
Thank you for the welcome and wishing all of you a fantastic day!!
Welcome! Many of us got sucked into the hobby due to yomega brains, although probably 20 years ago in the boom. Glad to see the noisey clutch is still bringing people into the hobby.
Welcome from Pennsylvania in the USA. I am glad you found a new hobby. A lot of people here post videos of very advanced tricks but donāt let that scare you off. There are beginners and advanced people here and any time you have questions or need recommendations, just ask us!
thank you
Hi there! Reacquainting myself w responsive yo-yos (itās been 30 years) and dabbling in the unresponsive world. Mind blown!
Welcome! I made a similar return after ~ 30 years two years ago. Iām thoroughly enjoying it (although not very good at all).
I suggest looking at the 0A/Fixed Axle stuff for a more nostalgic experience (although greatly advanced from 30 years ago). My experience was that I enjoyed that for a while, but pretty quickly moved to unresponsive play.
This is a very welcoming place.
Enjoy the hobby and forum!
What unresponsive yo are you throwing now?
I really like my One Drop Sugar Glider (~$50), which is a little on the wide, small diameter side, so maybe not a good general suggestion. For me tricks just seem to go well on it.
People here will likely suggest a Recess First Base ($20, but not available now) or Replay Pro ($16) for a first unresponsive. Both are plastic, and Iāve not played either. (I started with a One Star, but pretty quickly found I prefer metal yoyos.) There are others better suited to guide you.
Iāve owned loads of First Bases, I like them a lot, and I give em away to new players a lot, too. Down to a single glitter one, currently. Replay pro is also nice, itās more powerful and might be better for someone starting unresponsive straightaway compared to the First Base.
Welcome back to yoyos! Similar to @gregoryfromearth, I picked them up just a couple years ago (early 2018) after not touching a yoyo since the Yomega Brain days.
Hi Everyone! Iām Nowel coming here from Vancouver. Excited to be a part of the community!
I used to throw all the time, until I lost pretty much all my yoyos on a flight home after spending a year away. But now Iām back. Itās been about four years, so thereās been a bit of a re-learning curve, but Iām excited to be throwing again. I also have more money now that Iām working, so Iāve been kinda going all out with buying new throws. Might see me on the BST soonā¦
Welcome to ya from Pennsylvania in the USA. What are you throwing and what are you looking for in the BST?
Thanks! I havenāt been able to put down the Garret. When I got back and saw that Jensen and Charles had made their own company I had to check it out. So far itās exceeded my expectations. As for BST Iām looking for more A-RT (already in love with the brand), but mostly some classic CLYW stuff (Chief, Summit, etc.). All the stuff I wanted but couldnāt afford as a kid!
Hey yāall. I have been throwing for a few months now but I am just getting on these boards. I look forward to getting to know you all!
Welcome aboard. Tell us what your throwing. We love to see pics!
Thank you! I will get pictures up soon. I like CLYWs and A-RTs mostly, but I am definitely in an exploring phase mood!
