Hi @jeffreypang911, I was wondering how has yoyoing impacted your life? How did you go from just throwing yoyos to creating spinning art? Was there an event or incident to cause you to go from just throwing casually to investing time and money into making yoyos? -Simon ---

I was really young when I started. When you are 13 or 14 I think you’re more like impressionable. I remember learning from [Mastermagic.net](http://Mastermagic.net) and Andre was (and still is) one of my heros. And now im doing an AMA for him on the forums - thats like insane haha. I feel like one of those musicians who “made it”. When I was young, I didn’t throw casually I was like intense about it! every day I threw. I loved it. I was so obsessed! So it felt like a natural progression to go into designing and manufacturing. Especially since I was lathing my own yoyos for many years before that too. ---
