Yeah, I’m an avid user of the yotricks ap too, but it was blanked on my original post so I edited it out. I didn’t want to break any rules here. I’m newer to forums than I am to yoyos. Haha. Thanks for the welcome.

Hello my Name Is Felix. I am 46 years old and live in Germany.
I first came into contact with yoyos in the 1980s when the Duncan Wheels was very popular in our area.
Nobody could do advanced tricks with it, but as a kid you had to own one!
After throwing Sleeper and Forwardpass in the schoolyard for a while, I got bored.
I started to ride Skateboards and BMX. Later also downhill and freeride MTB.
In 2010, after health problems and accidents, the doctor told me I had to stop.
So I looked for a less dangerous hobby that required a little skill.
I found an old toy yoyo somewhere in the house. I threw it and it was terrible! Felt like a piece of cottonwool on a string! But after 3 tries I was able to do something like a looping trick and had a smile on my face.
I went to the city and searched the stores for a Duncan Wheels. I didn’t find any.
At the end of the week I owned a Yoyo Master Red Phoenix, a Henrys Lizard and a Yoyofactory Fast 201.
I had also met a guy who had been throwing for a long time. He gave me an old X-con and taught me basics.
I started throwing almost every day and although I made very slow progress after the basics, I had a lot of fun.
After some years, I felt increasing pain in my hands and took a break for about 7 years.
A few days ago I found one of my yoyos cleaning up and just had to throw it! It was a wonderful feeling! I spoke to my physiotherapist, who gave me tips on relieving the strain on the joints and tendons and said as long as I don’t feel pain I should throw.
So i´m back

Hi!
I’m a newb. I’ve been throwing for a bit over a month now. I used to play when I was a kid, then a bit as an adolescent, and I’m revisiting now after watching Evan Nagao’s winning world’s performance and subscribing to r/throwers for a while.
I picked up a Butterfly XT while I waited on my First Base, then quickly moved on to an MK-1 Contact! I’ve mostly been active on discord, but I’m branching out into the community and becoming more involved. I’m just now getting the hang of unresponsive, but I’m looking forward to learning more.
