Hello! I’ve been throwing on and off for about 5 years. You’d think after such a long period of interest I’d be competent but I can safely assure you that that’s not the case 
I’ve had a Horizon for about as long as I’ve been throwing, and I just ordered an Invaders Must Die. I haven’t really thrown at all for about a year, so I’m hoping that the new throw and the discovery of this forum will keep me interested and hopefully I’ll improve.

Welcome brother… To be honest, I probably spend more time in the forum than throwing, so I’m sure this place will keep you interested… About improving, I like the Trick a Week thread, I have been learning a lot there…
And despite I spend some time here, I still dont know how to link the thread in a post, sorry. Hahahah

Hey Everyone!
My name is Andy. I was a frequent collector/basic yoyoer when I was younger and decided to jump back into the hobby. I dove head first back in and picked up a One Drop Intro and have been enjoying learning how to bind. I’m really enjoying having a hobby that gets me away from screens (although I’ve been looking up tutorials on the tube) while stuck in the house. I hope to learn a lot more from the community here and toss money at stuff people are getting rid of!

Hey everybody! My name is Christopher Cotton… I was born and raised in birmingham al. I’m a filmmaker with a passion for yoyoing. Ive been yoyoing on and off for about 20 years. Just recently started throwing more than I ever have since I’m starting to get older (almost 30), I stopped skateboarding because I cant afford to get hurt anymore, and now If I’m not filming or gaming then I’m yoyoing. I recently started a youtube channel and new Ig that I’m going to start posting on so if you are interested in that,then my name on both is breakaway cotton. Have a blessed day everyone

I just lost my sage yogi so now I don’t have any😢. But my birthday is in a few weeks and I’m going to get the WA and the atlas

I started with the Sage. Don’t know if you realize, but you can put a wider bearing in it to make it unresponsive. I don’t recall if you need a longer axle too, careful. I still pick her up every once in a while but seems to have a bunch on vibe from getting smacked around so much.

My OD Intro is my EDC. I love it so much I’m thinking of getting a second! Little guy can take a beating and it’s still so smooth.

You have to keep your finger in the loop so they don’t get lost. :). Sorry to hear that. I think you’ll love the WA. I haven’t played the Atlas.

The Intro was a happy accident for me. I, honestly, didn’t know anything about One Drop until I found them playing Terraria. It’s been super fun to learn on – One of the best accidents ever.

I’m Brian from Orlando, FL. I’m an old guy (almost 50) trying to learn new tricks. Started throwing almost 2 years ago, but stopped because life. I’ve been working at home during the pandemic, picked it up again and wondered why I ever put it down. I can’t do whole lot yet, but just trapeze to brother to undermount and bind is fun and relaxing.
Just picked up a One Drop Deeper State (Saturday Market) to go along with a One Drop Benchmark V (Blue) and a One Drop Deep State (Gray Scale). Have 2 fixed axle throws coming from Ebay. A BC Blackbird and Apollo.
I work in IT and have the wife, kids, dog, and mortgage. I enjoy music, reading, Gator football, and Liverpool football (soccer). Before the pandemic I coached rowing.
Cheers.
