Hey everyone. I’m Jeff. Been reading here a while and finally decided to join. I starting yoyoing as a teenager but got away from it for 20 years. My 10yo son saw an old yoyo i had so i did a few tricks for him and his mind was blown lol (pretty basic tricks really). Since then we have both gotten into yoyoing and are working our way through the tutorials here and just recently started in the advanced tricks section here. I’m currently working on Boing-E-Boing, Plastic Whip and Trapeze Slack and my son is working on Trapeze variations mostly. We both are loving he Speedaholc XX yoyo so much that we currently have 5 of them in different colors. Just recently started using metal throws occasionally but so far always come back to the XX. We are enjoying learning more about yoyoing and admiring different yoyos. Also, more recently my daughter has show some interest ans has learned her first few tricks with a responsive throw (Arrow Elite). Loving that we all have this interest!

Hey, my name is Jing Kai, (or 靖凯 in simplified chinese) and I come from the tiny dot known as Singapore. I’ve been a longtime lurker on this forum ever since I found out about this hobby by finding out about OD through the terraria collab with one drop for update 1.3 about a few years ago, and only now have I decided to create an account and post here. From what I’ve seen, this community is surprisingly friendly compared to more widespread ones, and I hope to be a part of it too!

welcome man! terraria’s done work in bringing new people in the community. OD is a great choice of yoyo company to work with since they have a broad spectrum of yoyos to try for all types of players. hope you enjoy the hobby and the community!

Hi there, I am Richard, a 42 year old Scotsman who lives in New Zealand. Had Russell Sprite yoyo in the 80s,stopped, picked it up again briefly around 2007 but couldnt find any tutorials etc at the time or anyone in to yoyos so stopped and a year ago my son got me a dollar store yoyo at my birthday that got me interested again. A year later and about 8 yoyos later here I am and I have only just learned Jade Whip.

The DNA and Eli hops are definitely cool tricks to master !!! And btw “yoyowen” (aka @PendingThrows24) is actually a member here on the forum !!! So feel free to talk to anyone with a trick you are trying to get better at :wink:
