Introduce Yourself!

Welcome to the Forums from Pennsylvania!

Hey guys, so I’m usually posting everywhere on here but I don’t think I’ve ever really introduced myself. My name is Austin, I’m 26 and I am a Colorado native (shoutout to all my 303 peeps!) I am currently getting my degree in cyber security. I started throwing when I was 12-13 for maybe a year or two, found expert village and Andre’s tutorials, then just now picked it up again maybe 3 months ago or so. So still shaking off the rust a bit and trying to remember certain things! My favorite throw of all time is a OD Markmont or a CLYW Gnarwhal. My current is either a Duncan Grasshopper Gtx or OD Thorn. My favorite trick is any variation or way to get into a green triangle. Outside of yoyo, I love sports, video games, crime documentaries, working on/racing my drag car, and almost anything outdoors.

I’ve already chatted and what not with quite a few of you but I hope to do so with many more!

Welcome to the forums! Are your yoyo skills rusty? Just kidding. Glad you have found yoyoing to be a great stress reliever, most people find yoyoing to do the same for them as well.

Welcome to the forums! You should try some red triangle tricks as well, maybe you’ll like them as much as the green triangle.

Haha! Yeah, never heard that one before…

Back in the day I was pretty solid at rock the baby, Jamaican flag, around the world, and walk the dog with my Yomega Fireball. Can’t say I every really even learned trapeze back then. Now I am at the point where I’ve learned a pretty good number of the fundamental tricks and just learned (but not perfected) the hook and Brent stole. I’m definitely progressing quickly, especially compared to my 10 year old self lol

Sounds awesome! You’re pretty far on your yoyo tricks journey already for being just 4 months in. I can’t even do some of the tricks you know like Brent Stole and I have been yoyoing for like 5 years already. Great job and solid progress!

Haha, I get home from work. My wife sits on the couch and crochets while I stand up and yoyo. It’s like a match made in heaven. lol. She gets to laugh at me when I hit myself with a yoyo.

With you. My wife reads on the couch and says she likes the sound of the yoyo spinning in the background. To her, I’m a walking nature sounds app, but with yoyos instead of rain pattering or waves crashing.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that learns a new trick, then tries to show the wife and all of a sudden can’t land the tick with her watching. Lol.

Hi My Name is Stephen and I live in the Los Angeles area. Have not really done much with yoyo’s since the late 90’s when I was in the Army and used to play during our stand around time, mostly playing on a Fireball and glow in the dark Imperial. Decided to pick it up again as I am spending to much time on my phone and staring at a computer. Lets see where it leads.
