Hi everyone! Iā€™m a complete yoyo beginner who fell in love with MFD begleri, and the community encouraged me to pick up a yoyo! My best trick so far is a bind, and I couldnā€™t have been more excited to have learned it, haha. Full disclosure, I am also helping MFD with some marketing :slight_smile: So if you see new posts on their socials feel free to say hi to me haha

Been lurking for a while, my turn I guess.

I got into Yoyoā€™s around 2009. Learned all my picture tricks and basics here on YoyoExpert.

At the time, my favorite yoyo was the YoYoJam Lynn Fury (Wish I could find it). Had some decent spare time on my hands after work, and passed that time with the yoyo.

Bought a Unresponsive as my next step (Dont remember my firstā€¦ may have bought a fewā€¦ ).

This is where the enthusiasm wore off. For the life of me, I could not learn to bind. Work changed, got engaged, got our first place and yoyos went into a box.

I am now Happily married with a 9 year old son and a 6 year old daughter.

Mid October, we were at Zion National Park. At one of the souvenir shops, the kids found some wood fixed axel yoyos. I absolutely bought them, and they started playing.

It was so nice seeing them play yoyo instead of being on electronics. My personal epiphany ā€œString Time not Screen Timeā€.

My intreset reinvigorated, I said to my self; ā€œSelf, we got to keep this going!ā€

Looked around for ā€œBeginnerā€ yoyos, placed an order, and the adventure has began.

My plan is to start a thread and document ā€œOurā€ journey.

I would like to say thank you to this community for the wonderful insights and help that I have already gleamed from reading.

Hi everybody! Iā€™m Jazooka. Some of you know me through Reddit and Discord and I go to contests when I can, but I figured it was high time I made an account here. I love yoyoing, and I love talking about yoyoing (and the yoyos themselves) maybe even more.

Iā€™m also one of the biggest Transformers fans youā€™ll ever meet, so if you like those as well, we must be soul siblings. I know thereā€™s at least one of you.

Hi there everyone! Ive been pretty active here on the fourms since i joined a few months back, figured id formally introduce myself!

My name is Cisco and currently live in Denver, CO. I have been throwing since the 90s and starting throwing unresponsive in 2006 with a YYJ speeder. I had stopped around 2012 but due to a recent motorcycle accident i found my passion for throwing again and havnt looked back since. Plan on staying with the hobby this time and actually want to start in the competitive scene in 23ā€™

Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome and for all the trades and deals on the bst helping me find lost gems haha! Yall have been nothing short of amazing and i appreciate all of you! :blush:
