When I was 5 I wouldn’t leave the store until my Mum bought me a Duncan Firewheel so that would technically be my first. After that some Coke Russells during the “Spinner” promotion and eventually my first transaxle which was a Yomega Fireball. First bearing yo-yo was a Team Losi Da Bomb, I remember stalking the only online store at the time until the Da Bomb was released. ---

> [@JaredOverstreet](#): > > Jennifer Baybrook special edition Yomega Raider! 😛 Fun fact - I used to work with the guy who built Jennifer Baybrook’s website in the mid 90’s (they went to school together) and he was the reason I got into yo-yoing - my ever first contest was Jennifer’s contest in St Albans VT where I met a very young Dana Bennett who eventually went on to be 5A World champ. ---

A yellow and white Duncan Butterfly. It would have been in the late 60s. Then I didn’t throw for over 40 years. I recently restarted with a YYF Velocity. ---

first yoyo was a Duncan (Imperial i assume) somewhere around 1964 - 65. that was like precious gold. Back then if you could do a sleeper, walk the dog, and rock the baby, you were a yoyo god. i could do a sleeper (sometimes). had a few promotional give away yo-yos through out the years but didn’t do much more than up and down (or down and up) with an occasional around the world. in 2011 i bought a YYF Velocity and started watching you tube videos and learning the tricks of yesterday as well as some of the more modern tricks (took me a month before i could consistently do a trapeze). wasn’t consistent until around this time last year. i went from one yoyo to about 20 yo-yos in one year (and have a shipment for 4 more coming today). now a little further along but can’t do the crazy stuff like the kids on youtube. gw ---

When I was really little I had a blue Yomega Brain, and then for string tricks I got a Yomega Xodus II that I used until I was about 9 or 10 and then lost interest (and my yoyo) because I couldn’t understand how they did a front mount on the Yomega Mania DVD. It frustrated me to no end haha Just got back into it a year ago, and found my Brain and a Fireball and a Raider, but couldn’t find my Xodus II, kinda bummed about that. My first yoyo a year ago was a Yomega Maverick. ---

My first throw was a black with red rims yomega xodus2. I only stuck with yomegas for like 5 months until I discovered yoyoexpert and purchased my first advanced playing yoyo, a Yoyofactory DNA. Fast forward 2.5 years and I have too many throws to name off the top of my head. ---

The first one I can remember is a blue Duncan Butterfly, but I might have had an Imperial or something before that. My first transaxle yo-yo was a Duncan Ballistic in 2005. That thing is neither fish no fowl, and not much good for anything IMO. Sleeps too easily for good looping, too narrow for 1A - it was very frustrating.
