HI guys - and thanks for the welcomes! Yes my son and I have a blast doing it together and challenging each other. We have different skill sets so also help each other with learning tricks. We needed something to store the yo-yos in once we started getting a significant number, and didn’t want them to just be able to fall off the table or whatever. So we started with just a simple butt-jointed box. Then I added a center shelf that allows yo-yos to fit underneath and on top. It also divides our sides, so we know where ours are. We have a lot of the same yo-yos. We call the top ones the “top shelf” yo-yos, and even have a separated area for the current favorite. Below, we can store yo-yos not as frequently used, or, my son also calls it the “dungeon” for those yo-yos that failed us on a trick (because it is always the fault of the equipment, not the user :slight_smile: ). Anyways, thanks again for the welcome notes!

I wish I could get my family into yoyo. It is super cool that you have someone to talk about yoyoing with you.

Hey! Names Rich. 29. Ottawa, Canada. Somehow someway a yoyo came into my life (4-5 months) and now i have a new addiction. Can’t stop throwing. I love love love the jade whip and any bind. im currently throwing markmont classic magnum opus. I also make my own string. allows for more colour options. This site it dope! I literally knew diddly squat and this site has taught me the most out of all other available sources! Excited to learn more and hopefully make some friends. I am forever grateful for the yoyo. Recently sober and this passtime has been a blessing.

Thanks:)

Welcome! So cool that you’re already making your own string! Try learning the ghost bind, it’s a spooky one.

Hello from Arizona. I’m 67 years old and started yo-yo during the pandemic shut-down. I have found it has helped with hand-eye coordination. I have gravitated towards fixed axle and modern responsive. My most prized yo-yo as of now is my Daytripper. I also have the Legend Wing and Yomega Alpha Wing.

Hi guys! My name is Niki and I’m from Shanghai~ Yoyoing was huge in China back when I was in primary school, because everyone watched Blazing Teens! It was kinda cringe now thinking about it because we used to have “team/solo battles” during breaks and compete with each other with our best tricks :joy: After almost 10 years later, I’m starting to pick up the hobby again! I’m not a great thrower, but I like to collect and help out the community just a little! If you have any questions about counterfeits, I may be able to help. :grin:

Hello all! My name is Stephen. I am one of the Admins of the Facebook BST and I am the owner of Born2Dye.

I have been yoyoing for close to 12 years. This august will be my 12th actually! My favorite yoyo is the Freehand Zero and I really enjoy going to contests to chill, learn new tricks and meet new people.

Please check out @born2dye on instagram and born2dye.com. My main goal with born2dye is to dye many yoyos and get them in the hands of as many people as possible!
