Introduce Yourself!

Welcome to the Forums from Pennsylvania!

Hey guys, so Iā€™m usually posting everywhere on here but I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever really introduced myself. My name is Austin, Iā€™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 Andreā€™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.

Iā€™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 youā€™ll like them as much as the green triangle.

Haha! Yeah, never heard that one beforeā€¦

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. Canā€™t say I every really even learned trapeze back then. Now I am at the point where Iā€™ve learned a pretty good number of the fundamental tricks and just learned (but not perfected) the hook and Brent stole. Iā€™m definitely progressing quickly, especially compared to my 10 year old self lol

Sounds awesome! Youā€™re pretty far on your yoyo tricks journey already for being just 4 months in. I canā€™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. Itā€™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, Iā€™m a walking nature sounds app, but with yoyos instead of rain pattering or waves crashing.

Please tell me Iā€™m not the only one that learns a new trick, then tries to show the wife and all of a sudden canā€™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 yoyoā€™s since the late 90ā€™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.
