When did you become hooked on yoyoing?

More seriously, my origin story!

It is impossible to be sad while playing with a yo-yo (my origin story)

I did a tiny bit of yo-yo in the mid-80s when I was a kid, but I was never very good and never had any way to learn any new stuff – heck, how did we learn anything before the Internet, anyway? I rediscovered yo-yos in September 2017 when my 8 year old son came home with a Duncan Butterfly XT. I was like, wow! This is awesome, but very basic … I wonder what a nicer yo-yo would be like? I started with the cheap metals on Amazon (sadly this included a Sidekick Pro) and from there found “real” yoyo…
