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.
Hi everybody! My name’s Scott and I’m just a guy in my mid-30’s that refuses to grow up. I’m new to this forum, but have been throwing regularly for almost 2 years now. I originally learned some basic responsive tricks on a Duncan Butterfly when I was a kid. In the Summer of 2019, I was going down the Reddit rabbit hole and somehow ran into r/Throwers. After watching some A-RT and One Drop videos, I was hooked. I ordered a Sage starter pack that week and have been throwing every day since. The first metal throw I got was a OD Top Deck (ordered from YYE) and it is still my favorite to this day.
Anyway, it’s good to be here and I look forward to learning and getting to know all of you wonderful people!
Hey fellow throwers, my name is Bretton! I’m 33, I live in Texas and am the head cellarman of a brewery. I have been yoyoing since 2006, and use to be a member on the One Drop and YoyoNation forums back then although I didnt post much. I’ve been pretty inactive since 2010 as far as yoyoing but recently my ambition has been sparked again! I’m happy to be back! I do 1a mostly but have dabbled in 5a and 3a a bit as well.
Yo I was pretty active on TheYo.com. Recently moved and found a couple of my Old Throws.
Remembering all the peeps on the forums. Wondering if any of them still around. LukeVader, JHB, Ricks, Crackout…
Hey guys I’m new here. I’m 40 and started throwing about 6 years ago and got up to Kwijibo and then just kind of fizzled. I picked it back up about 4 months go and started growing my collection as I’ve improved. I’ve just gotten to the point of landing Spirit Bomb consistently and working on the Hook next. Really struggling to see how I go from learning these individual tricks to flowing like all these awesome people I see on youtube and instagram. I’m loving it and don’t see myself giving it up again. Nice to meet all of you.
My beginner collection for anyone interested.

Hello all. My name is Lucas Wood and I started yoyoing when I was 14 and put it down a few years ago and just now getting back into it strongly, still got all my old yoyos, some I even traded and bought in these forums. I love collecting, trading and trying new yoyos. My favorite yoyo is the Atlas and I’ve been throwing it lately, can’t wait to get better with it and see what other throwers are trying and working on.
Well yeah,
my name is Samir, a Physics student from Germany/Morocco.
i started yoyoing around 14 years ago ( 2007) and was kidna active in the yoyo community. starting 2015 or 16 i kinda started to be inactive due to my studies but i never stopped yoyoing.
some of you who knew kingyostar, BreakbeatYo or Arabyoyo might know me ( or not xD) , i used to make some yoyo videos including reviews, tutorials and promotional videos . so now i am back being a bit active again and i hope my activities might increase in future.
Some of my favourite yoyo companies are : onedrop, c3 and a few others. but currently i am little onedrop fanboii (screams like a fangirl ) and i currently play with my sugarglider and code1 ( amazing throws).
since i am a bit of an oldschool player i need to catch up again with the current meta of yoyoing and see all the new talents that are poping off in the community.
i hope i can make some new good yoyo friends around the world.
hit me up on facebook ( Samir Elotmani )
so thats my part of an introduction. see ya around guys/girls
Hi, my name is Derick. Born in the USA I’ve been in yoyoing for a little over a year now and it’s currently another one of my side hobbies. I started throwing at 2019 World Scout Jamboree at the Duncan booth and I was hooked. Started with a 2012 style red barracuda and then got a windrunner the very next day. I’m trying to learn new things in my free time but school is busy at the moment. I learned my first tricks with Chris Chunn and others while at WSJ and had an amazing time.
I found out about Yoyo Expert through their tutorials on Youtube and soon found they had an online store. After that I got myself my first Bimetal, an orbital GTX. After that I got a GTR beta and had a ball with that. Lets just say I like my Duncan’s.
Current: Barracuda, Windrunner, Orbital GTX, GTR beta, Uppercut, KO, Shutter
