I started as a juggler, but with low ceilings I couldn’t practice a 7 ball cascade in my living room. So yo-yoing became substitute, then replacement, and as yoyoexpert’s growing bank account can attest, it’s now an obsession.

It is competitive, takes a lot of practice to be good, and isn’t something many do … being able to whip out your yoyo and impress people by doing the simplest of tricks is just plain old fun.
I am still only a month or two in, with very little practice in (I am working on Mcbride Roller coaster) but my goal is to become one of the best, just as I am in my other hobby (nerd alert: World of Warcraft).

well, my yoyoing started with guitar. went and got a yoyo to keep my picking hand strong.
why do I keep yoyoing? The people. every single person I have the chance to meet through yoyoing is special to me, even if I don’t have the chance to meet all of them. Anyone I have already met is a great person, and a great friend to me, even if they don’t know it.

Chloe Moretz isn’t my girlfriend yet, and I’m just passing my time til that happens
Meeting people who share the same interest is beyond fun
(See first reason)
I have this thing, where I try to be good at everything (or at least descent)
It is fun just weaving the yo yo through strings, the challenge of improving is fun

Did it actually make your picking hand stronger? I play guitar/bass and didn’t notice a change…
