Hello fellow throwers, I’m cmoney I’ve been throwing for a couple years now, favorite throws i have are my yyf peregrine yyf hummingbird and my mk1 exia. I decided to get on the forums to feed my collection addiction. To that I say ado and begin my hunt!

I don’t think that you have to worry about getting the skill of yoyoing down. Everyone has their own pace. For instance, some people have been yoyoing for 2 years, and are better then me, and I’ve been yoyoing for 6 years. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy it. Just go your own pace, and enjoy yourself. That’s the point of a hobby. Yoyoing is fun, you’re going to enjoy it.
Also, if any of you newcomers need some assistance, just dm me. I’ll give you a free analysis if you want it. Just tricks that I would suggest learning next to best advance your style. I know that some people charge a lot for that, and I would be only too happy to zoom with you for an hour or so if you’re interested. Just a thought.
Edit: I am insinuating that I would do it for free. After rereading it I realize that that isn’t insinuated, which is what I was going for.
Seriously though, I wasted too much time worrying about what everyone else thought about my style to worry about my style in general. Yoyoing is fun. Treat it as such.
And welcome to the forums! The people here are really nice and helpful. If you have any questions, just post them up and expect an answer within the hour. These people are lightning fast. Just be careful with the bts strands. Pretty much all of the people who post them are ligit, but I was scammed by one, and after a little searching I found that I wasn’t the only one. I know for a fact that @ryanmcg is legit, because I got a edge from him, and you can always check out their feedback strand. If they don’t have one, be skeptical.
I just remembered that you mentioned that you were a father, which means that you are at least above the age of 20, so you probably know this already. But even so. For those of you that are new and this didn’t seem apparent, there you go. Check before you send someone your money. And enjoy the forums.

Might have to take you up on that at some point. Nice of you to offer your time for us. I am definitely going to be looking at the various tutorials in the next few days to pick something new to attempt to learn. I have been using this site, gentry stein, and ■■■■■■■■■■ tutorials. I like to watch every trick I attempt to learn on all 3, as I find sometimes one clicks more than another, or sometimes one of them offer some additional insight that another did not.

That’s a good idea. I wish I’d thought of that. Although, when I was learning, I just used yoyo of the tricks of the .com (the server filters it out like, well, you know.) to learn all my tricks and it served me just fine. I don’t know about yoyoexpert.com. I’ve never used it before. I bet it’s really good though! (Please don’t come after me admins. Just trying to make a point)

Hey, my name is David. I used to yoyo a lot when I was younger and have since lost touch with the sport. Looking to get back into the community and see how it has evolved since I was younger.

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
