31 here. Been modern throwing for a few years, although I’ve loved yoyos since I was a kid. I just never knew there was more to life than Duncan Imperials, Butterflies, and transaxels.
20, and been at it since 1999
Hey, I am also 64.
50 here, still young at heart
Just turned 40! I organized and participated in an “Old Folks who Can Sort of Throw Battle” mid-2013. Had a great response to it. Check it out, and all y’all “old folks” should join in the 2014 edition when it comes along.

There’s nothing to admit. Yoyoing is fun, and everyone can enjoy it.
Yay, can I sponsor it again?
That would be awesome! It’s still a ways off. We’ll be doing it in the summer again.
dude that is so rad. thanx guys now i don’t feel so alone. its just i don’t know a single person in my area who throws…
I’m 29, I’ll be 30 in April. I started throwing back in 2004 and I took a break from 2006 to 2011 and have been throwing since, with a 4-5 month break in between the last half of last year.
There really is nothing to be ashamed of.
I’m 45.
Started about 2 1/2 years ago.
33 here. Throwing is fun for old men too. That is my mantra when I look at all my yoyos.
Anime also fun for old dudes, amirite?
I don’t see how you can be a kid and enjoy Yo-Yoing. There are too many video games nowadays. I’m 15. and I stumbled across the love of Yo-Yoing by accident when I got a Duncan Ignite Yo-Yo- at a Cracker Barrel 3 years ago. I had found a new friend, and I was using my Grind Machine… He asked what it was and I told him it was a Yo-Yo, and he still didn’t know what I was talking about. Other than me, of course, kids are poisoned these days!
Sweet! Are we going to have to throw an unedited freestyle again? I will drive to Canada and punch you in the arm, if we do!
I won’t tell you my age, but I was 5 when the goonies came out (great movie)!
Sorry, that may have been my fault last year. Lesson learned.
45 in March and completely obsessed with yoyos. It’s been fun for the last couple years. I want in on the “old guys that can throw (sort of)” contest again. I don’t expect to win, but it was great motivation to work on stringing tricks together.
