I donāt 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 Iāve been yoyoing for 6 years. But that doesnāt mean that I donāt enjoy it. Just go your own pace, and enjoy yourself. Thatās the point of a hobby. Yoyoing is fun, youāre going to enjoy it.
Also, if any of you newcomers need some assistance, just dm me. Iāll 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 youāre interested. Just a thought.
Edit: I am insinuating that I would do it for free. After rereading it I realize that that isnāt 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 wasnāt 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 donāt 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 didnāt 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 ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā 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.

Thatās a good idea. I wish Iād 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 donāt know about yoyoexpert.com. Iāve never used it before. I bet itās really good though! (Please donāt 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! Iāve been throwing on and off for about 5 years. Youād think after such a long period of interest Iād be competent but I can safely assure you that thatās not the case 
Iāve had a Horizon for about as long as Iāve been throwing, and I just ordered an Invaders Must Die. I havenāt really thrown at all for about a year, so Iām hoping that the new throw and the discovery of this forum will keep me interested and hopefully Iāll improve.

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. Iām really enjoying having a hobby that gets me away from screens (although Iāve 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!
