> At the drop of a hat, I have no problem letting a six year old play with my favorite metal. You wanna know why? Because yoyos aren’t important. I can do stuff with a yoyo that average people couldn’t fathom until they met me, and to give a six year old that chance to want to try matters more to me than any yoyo. Why? Because given the right resources, I can buy another yoyo rather quickly. To give a six year old an opportunity to play with one and have me teaching them basic maneuvers doesn’t happen often at all. So in the end, I sacrifice in hopes that the six year old will indeed want to keep yoyoing after I walk away. Maybe he will, maybe he won’t. But hey, I know of a couple HUGE names in our community who got into it this way.

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
