Welcome to the forums @PCon0718 and @Bigbaggyoyoer28!

@Bigbaggyoyoer28 you can just post the trick youā€™re having trouble with in the Yo-Yo Tricks category and Iā€™m sure people will help you. Moreover, I think there are some people here from Maryland as well so they could meet up with you to help you. Thereā€™s probably a club you can join as well.

Hi all! My name is Britton, Iā€™m a 35-year-old tech worker living in Tampa, FL. Iā€™m new to yo-yo collecting/playing, and working on trying to learn the ā€œfirst 50 yo-yo tricksā€ list.

Iā€™m not having the easiest time learning from YouTube videos, but I will say that this community has been amazing and super welcoming. I look forward to practicing and improving every day!

Edit - just as a discussion topic, hereā€™s the yo-yos I have currently collected: MK1xSpinworthy Red Blood Cell (I love it), Spinworthy thin Survivalist, 2x OD Deep States, and an Edgeless for my unresponsive practicing.

Welcome Britton! This is a great forum!
I personally think that YYE AndrĆ© Boulay is a great teacher if you havenā€™t watched him already:

Hey! Just getting started with yoyos but really interested in seeing the incredibly well designed yoyos and cool tricks. I picked up a Crystal and Confusion to get things spinning and have been having a great time with them!

Hey all! My names, Michael and Iā€™ve been lurking for awhile. I decided after getting a YYF shutter and a legend wing to join the fun since yo-ing (yo-yo-ing? Throwing? Throw- yo-ing?) Has taken over my brain. I grew up skateboarding and have recently got into yo-yos through Astrojax and Kendama. Iā€™m an adolescent mental health technician and will be going back to school for comp si/engineering (Ideally merging the two.) I love the community and hope to be a worthwhile contributor! :kissing_heart:

Welcome to the forums! Glad you got to know about yo-yos through other skill toys! Thereā€™s probably some threads about Kendama and Astrojax in the Unrelated Discussion section.

Welcome @Mooky!

As an aside from yo-yos, I just wanted to thank you for the work you do in the field of adolescent mental health. Iā€™m glad kids and teenagers have good people out there to support their emotional development!

Hello! My name is Nikita. Iā€™ve been throwing yoyos since 2010 and then stopped in late 2013. Only left OD P2 as my all time fav yoyo and never sell it. In summer 2022 Iā€™ve accidentally jumped on yye and remembered all the good days and people connected with yoyos. This is my comeback :smiley:

Welcome to the forums! Glad you have rediscovered your love of yoyoing and have decided to participate in the forums! The OneDrop Project 2 is a rare one, hope youā€™ll continue to hold on to it even when you have experience the joy of modern yo-yos.
