Hello I’m Clara. I had a yo-yo when I was a child and could do two or three tricks maybe. Now I’m pushing 60 and just bought a velocity. I have an m8 coming this week. I am looking for things to do while I’m traveling. When I retire I plan to travel the world with the backpack. I’m looking for fun things to do that are easy and lightweight to take with me and yoyoing seems perfect. And it’s fun. I also plan to do a little bit of Street performance/busking in areas where that’s permitted.

Your plan sounds super fun! Make sure you bring extra strings/bearings/response pads!

Welcome to the forum’s clara! I love the idea. Might want to look into fixed axle yo-yos for less maintenance on your journey

Hey all! New here and recently into YoYoing after not having one since I was about 14, my last YoYo was a Duncan BumbleBee if anyone is interested (I remember being so stoked it had a ball bearing). Found out about YoYoExpert just through google searches trying to find learning resources as well as a solid vendor.

I’m a product manager at a loudspeaker manufacturer by day, dance music producer and party promoter by night, WoW nerd, mechanical keyboard enthusiast, and recently started throwing yoyos again.

I currently have a YoYo King Double Agent, and a Recess Snack (photo attached). Both of which are loaded with cleaned/lubed VIP bearings from ■■■■■■■■■■ and I’m really loving both of these yoyos at the moment. Next yoyo without a doubt will be either a Freehand AL, or Freehand ONE AL, the Unknown version in both cases (if available). Those 3 will scratch most itches for 1a; one a relatively wide v, one organic/semi-organic, and one small yoyo.

Stoked to be here, and looking forward to learning more about yoyo’s. Also if anyone plays wow, I’m on Sargeras-US Alliance.

I love my Double Agent and seeing the Snack twice in one day makes me want one really bad but I swore off yoyo purchases for 2021. Welcome back to Yoyo and the Forums!
