Pretty much what the title says: why and how did you get into yoyos?

I yoyo’d a lot as a kid in the 80s. A Duncan Butterfly was the coolest. So I’ve always been into it. But learning about ball bearing yoyos and unresponsive play in 2007 led us to making our first yoyo. Yoyos are a great toy and the community and passion around them are amazing.
