There aren’t records kept on these, but try to remember so you can see how you’ve progressed. It’s fun to look at and laugh at how you were once a noob.

My original one:  
Fav. Yo-Yo: Yomega Xodus II  
Fav. Trick: Brain Twister

Current one:  
Fav. Yo-Yo: YYF Shu-Ta, ODxTS T1, CLYW Yeti,  
BillyBobs Civility, YYF Genesis+, TK No-Jive.  
Fav. Trick: Horizontal Revolutions

My, how I have progressed.
