As Captain Kirk said, “The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.”
Us throwers are actually just creating an outlet for our extreme intelligence. Much like a pressure release valve. :wink:

> I’m 24 and will have been throwing a year next month. I’m still not too keen on playing with my yoyo in public. Wish I could get over it because I have long breaks in between classes this semester and I don’t live on campus. I have to drive 45 minutes to get to school and it would be nice to be able to whip out one of my yoyos and practice while I’m waiting on my next class to start. I’m too shy about it though. It would be nice if I saw someone else yo-yoing at the University of Kentucky though. I think I would be more inclined to throw in public then.
I’m closer to 30 then 20 and I throw everywhere I go, while walking whatever wherever. What’s the worst that can happen… U blow some squares minds inspire some kids or make some friends.
If u throw it they will come

I am 53. Used to yoyo back in the 60’s and early 70’s using a Butterfly and Imperial. My stepdaughter brought home a cheap yoyo from the Dollar store about a month or so ago so I gave it a try and remembered how much I enjoyed it. I could still do walk the dog, rock the baby, around the world after all these years (give me a break, that’s what we did back then!).
I now have 9 yoyo’s and two more on the way. I’m starting to get into unresponsive stuff. Been watching the vids and all I can say is wow. The yoyo world has changed. Glad I found this place so I can learn from all of you.

Still got a bundle of what I assume is cotton from 98-99 lol
I’m 28. You would definitely have to pay me a relatively large sum of money to take a yoyo out in public and throw it but I’ve certainly carried a yoyo on my person many times and the majority of my friends know I play with yoyos and own many.

Il-y ont beaucoup des yoyoers a Montreal, yoyonono. They meet quite often! Most are a BIT younger, but still cool guys to hang out with. Are you close to Montreal?

I used to do that, sort of. I was 21 for 5 years starting when I was 17. Finally mastered it ;D.

Haha, invasion of the oldsters! I’m only 26, but for this forums purposes I’d guess I would have to admit I’m old. I’m married too so that adds a couple years.
I’m just finishing up college and just started my first endeavor of public throwing…the funniest thing are the creepers…you catch them peekin while your throwing all the time…they wanna watch sooooo bad, but they just won’t.

I know those ones. 🙂 BUT, there are also those who will gladly watch and then either talk to you or give you an “applaud from a distance”.
Throwing in public is good fun. Oddly, I could easily throw (and have done) in a stadium full of thousands of people, any number of whom could be watching at any time. But I’d probably be nervous going on stage in front of 20 really focused people.

Makes sense, their watching your every move and judging it.

33 here… Been throwing since 1988. Unresponsive started this year.
I yoyo in my office… I run a marketing dept, so I hope my team is comfortable with a boss that throws.
