Hi, my name is Sam. I had yoyos when I was a kid and then bought a few newer ones in the 90s and now got interested in them again. I am OLD, but am just a rank beginner thrower. We didn’t have the Internet or access to videos when I was young. Now the web is full of them and apps make learning easily accessible. I only throw because I enjoyed it as a kid and now it gives my old hands something to do. Enjoy!

Name is Sam. I am 70… retired and old enough to do things that I enjoy. I don’t plan on being a master thrower like all of you younger peeps. But, I am going to try and have some fun.

Well for the record, I am not a master thrower like many others. I just love to collect, invest, hoard, etc… I do plan to stop buying and start trying some actual tricks here and there. Breakaway was my hardest hurdle. Now I just sit there on the trapeze thinking, what next?

Is there a way to just pose a question without finding a topic?

Thats kinda the nice thing about this hobby. To me, it welcomes all throwers equally, if you just want to throw the yoyo up and down all day that’s no more or less of a yoyoer than someone like Gentry imo and I think this community really emphasizes that, which I love.

Heyo! Finally made a yoyoexpert forum account. I’ve been throwing for about 3 weeks and am currently working on Eli Hops! I already have about 7 throws… I may have a problem.

Welcome to the forums !!! It seems that your making progress quickly good job !!. Eli hops is a pretty difficult trick to get down consistently but keep at it and you’ll hit it more and more :grin::+1:t2: And P.S you don’t have a problem trust me I should know :sweat_smile:

Hey :wave:t3: I’m Brittney, 33 wife and stay at home mom to 5 young kids. I hadn’t thrown a yo-yo since I was a kid until a few weeks ago and my husband jumped headfirst full speed into the rushing sea of yo-yos and very luckily lived to see another day. Seeing as how WE are so invested now, I might as well start trying to expand the horizon and learn some new tricks and give the old man some friendly competition :wink:. Now he knows he just has to learn how to share the good ones with me which is going to be so DIFFICULT for him!
