Hello everyone, my name is Alberto, I am an Italian living in London (UK), I play yoyo for something like 13 years if not more, I lost the count, I have been in the Magicyoyo sponsored team years ago and I had to give up cause study music take much of my time.

I play classical guitar and pianoforte but I make sure to cut 2 hours a day to play some yoyo and relax in the night (even after so many years yoyo is still incredible addictive), someone here wrote that he likes to play while his wife crochet or knitting, it’s unbelievable as me and my girlfriend live the same life of that user, it made me laugh, after dinner I cut myself 2 hours to relax playing while she crochet watching some stuff on Netflix.

My favourite yoyo is One drop Aitch and about tricks, miss the days where the was the trick ladder but it’s so fun to make my own combos.

I have been looking at the forum for so long and so I was like “why do not subscribe”, I hope the forum will not ignite even more obsession to buy yoyos because I have it already by myself lol.

See you around!

Alrighty, here I go with this lol. Sorry if I ramble or don’t make sense ^^;

TLDR: Yo-yoed as a kid stopped for almost 15 years then picked it back up b/c of some very ironic coincidenses in which I don’t actually believe in lol.
Throwing: a responsive N11 as I have not yet learned to bind. I do know a handful of tricks lol.

Ello all~ I’m a 28 year old single mom. :smile: I’d started yo-yoing on my mom’s old wooden auto-return yo-yo as a kid. I’d spend hours just well…auto returning the damn thing lol (yay for ADHD and hyper-focusing on stuff we find comforting). It was around my teen years I found out about new yo-yo’s through a band fundraiser. Seeing those presenters do all those freakiing amazing tricks was sssooooo cool. Sadly I didn’t sell enough to earn one of thoes yo-yo’s and got “stuck” with the speed cup set. This was early to mid 2000’s so yeah. While speed cups kept my attention long enough that I’d kinda forgotten how badly I wanted that yo-yo they were pretty pricy at the time, that and I was a little ■■■■ teenager who didn’t know a single damn thing about using the internet wisely enough to go find out how to get one or really anything like that.

~many many years later~

This past Halloween my kiddo got one of those freaking GARBAGE 2cent yo-yo’s that they put in kid’s party bags. This thing broke in like 5 seconds of my kid playing with it. My best friend/roommate told my daughter that no we would no fix that p.o.s and would order her a Duncan (sorry if I mispelled that) beginner yo-yo. In my own head I imagened him ordering her the kind of yo-yo that I had started playing with as a kid auto-returning all that jazz. I thought to myself: oh that’s pretty cool I’ll teach her how to just well throw and catch she’ll have a great time!!! That is NOT what he got her. He got her a plastic responsive one and himself two V3’s.

Well one of those V3’s became mine (I just gave it to one of my friends trying to get him into throwing lol) Now I have a N11 that I love playing with. :smiley: I can do a few tricks but haven’t moved away from my responisive barring as of yet. Only because I haven’t wanted to dedicate a whole day to learing to bind just yet lol.
