Awesome! Glad to know that haha. Also, you might want to look at the Grasshopper GTX, the GTR or the Bimetal if you like rounded yoyos.

+1 for the GTR as an N11 fanboy.

Hi, Iām Jeremy and I am 30. I have been in and out of yoyos since 2008 or so. Iām not particularly good as I never really spent a lot of time learning tricks during my previous in periods. This time it is hopefully going to stick with me for a while. I got back in when I bought a used Onedrop Terrarian because I really like the game and wanted to get the yoyo. Since then my collection has grown to about 20 throws. Long term collection goal is to have one of each Terraria collaboration yoyo in the original colorway.

Hi! Iām Jae. I am returning to yoyoing after throwing responsive and auto-return yomegas in the late 90s through my after school program. I found my old Hyper Raider awhile back and decided to see what had changed in the world of yoyo since. Originally just wanted to grab some new string for it or somethingā¦ and down the rabbit hole I went. Right now I enjoy throwing a YYF Arrow Elite and some wood fixed axles. Right now I am enjoying lots of Lindy Loops, Mach 5, and some stalls. Glad to be here!

Welcome! Did you already know about unresponsive? And all the styles of play? It was definitely a big surprise to me to see the advances that have been made especially in the last 20 years.

Nope! Never saw a bind, counterweight, off-string yoyo or any of that until a few months ago!
I knew the fun stuff that was on my āBandai Official Spinner Trick Cardsā as found on the Yoyo Museum site (exhibit 2799), in random other trickbooks (rocket yoyo? duncan?), and whatever demonstrators and other throwers at our local competitions (parking lot of a surf shop or the bagel shop) were doingā¦ so I wouldnāt say I was shelteredā¦ I just got out of the yoyo game right when a lot of new unresponsive stuff was developing I think. My peers and I did lots of loops, UFOs, the occasional brain twisters or trapeze with really strong sleepers and a lot of luck.
I think Iād seen some of the demonstrators do two handed looping but the idea of a kid having two identical yoyos to loop seemed pretty out of reach, even with contest prizes. All but a few of us were throwing brains or other auto-return stuff primarilyā¦ but nothing felt limited because it was all a huge step up from dribbling. Notice the 2 handed loops (do 5 loops) are the final trick on the final trick card, the red āpro spinner levelā!
Imagine the shock on my face when I went from throwing my 1998 hyper raider, which was the pinnacle of long sleeping at the time in my little yoyo world to throwing a modern unres metal yoyo and literally having to set a timer to keep track since it just kept spinning. Brain melted.

Itās nice to have a variety of yoyos. I get sick of my favorites after awhile and itās nice to switch things up which usually makes me find a new appreciation of yoyos I sometimes have not picked up in awhile for whatever reason.

Very true, it plays like a beauty. I was kinda worried about how tech would be, given how wide it is, but itās the best tech yoyo I have. I really donāt know how they did it but YYF made a yoyo thay can do both small and techy tricks and big hop and body tricks. Perfect yoyo imo.

Hey guys,
I used to be a regular on Theyo.com forums, wayyyyy back in the day probably before some of you were around. I was packing up my stuff the other day, as Iām separating from the military after a pretty long stint and ran across my YYJ Hitman. I wondered if any forums were still active so I found this one, recognized a couple names (jhb8426 to be specific) and decided to create an account to reminisce a bit. Hopefully Iāll be able to pop in a bit here and there!
