I just really enjoy it, and have fun. Learning new things, learning from others, it’s all fun. Yoyoing can be as simple as you want it, or as complex. There’s no end to it, much like my other passion, music. ---

It’s fun, and I get a feeling of accomplishment when I learn a new trick that is unique to yoyoing ---

I like to figure stuff out. So working through tricks is a pleasing experience for me. Once I learn a trick I normally stop doing that trick. ---

It helps me focus my Negative energy on something else. That way I won’t break my promise to myself to never kill again. And it has helped get over my fear of polyester string. And I have gotten good enough at 2A, that when I go bird hunting I bag so many birds I can’t sneeze with blowing feathers out my nose. And since my personal license plate on my truck says, ‘YOYODOC’, if I quit I would be on a guilt trip about being a Poser. ---

> [@nolangherity](#): > > because it goes well with rap music Even better with trap! But really, I got into yoyos when I lost my job, when I got another job I slowed down a lot, then I found the downtown Plymouth yoyo club. Meeting all the great talent there really pushes me to keep throwing. ---

Dunno exactly. I just really enjoy it. I think for me it doesn’t go TOO much deeper than I get fun out of playing yoyo. I did recently finally make a few tricks of my own; beginning to understand the fun and challenge of “creating” as well. But honestly, I’d be having fun still just doing other people’s tricks, the way I do. Other people make great tricks. No reason not to have fun doing them. 😃 ---

It’s so fun. I am homeschooled, which probably one might think that is the joy of a lifetime because you get to do whatever you want (almost) when you are not doing school. But, it does get a little boring. Yoyoing has put a big stopper in that since I started. ---
