Nice thread! I like it because it’s fun and keeps me active and off my rear. This forum is counter-productive but I also love learning and helping people! So thats two things to yoyoing a perk and a perk to fix a negative.
I throw because its very zenful/mindful. It is incredibly similar to meditation. When I yoyo I dont think about anything else besides the trick im currently trying. I don’t worry about problems in my life or anything else. Also the whole aspect of pushing myself and progressing in my tricks. Strangely yoyoing is quite similar to skating! Anyone else agree?
There’s many different aspects of yoyo’ing I enjoy.
It’s very nostalgic for me and takes me back to a time when I was but a carefree child playing with Duncan Imperials on the playground.
I also enjoy the stress relieving aspects of it, as well as the fact that it makes me push myself and try and try until I get it right.
One other thing I enjoy about it is the yoyos themselves. I think they are beautiful and brilliant pieces of art in themselves. Each one being unique and having it’s own…personality of sorts really adds to the fun of learning how to play with a new yoyo.
The people. The only reason I held on to yoyoing was becasue of how diverse and friendly the community is. Screw tricks, meeting new faces is where it’s at.
I just got back into throwing because I decided to stop playing video games, and yet I still needed a hobby to enjoy in my downtime. Most of the content I was enjoying in my video games was not God-honoring, and it ate up too much time. Which is to say, Yoing is good, clean, fun.
