wow Q, Never woulda thought you woulda let a 6 year old play with a metal… as they could get hurt and break it. actually, grant johnson from YYJ got me started. kinda. when I was nine I saw the episode on TSLOD on disney and I wanted to learn “around the world string theory” AKA trapeze. 1st throw, 1 year later, broke in a day. a year later, broke in a week I decided, (before i broke it) that I was intermediate and found andre. well I was a biginer… Got bored, bought my self a DMII, here we are a month later, in the masters section with a Dv888. I have been yoyoing for less than 2 months. and im learning ladder escape. Where am I going with this? I dont know. either way, I wouldnt let a six year old play with my metal. I would let them play with a DMII tho. or a plastic, if i had 1. sorry bout the book, and writing it for no apparent reason. lol
