Haven’t really seen anything too cringe-worthy out of me, just the struggles of Wrist Mounts…ok I take that back. My “reviews” on yoyos when I was still in intermediate territory. Today, I feel like I’d have a far better grasp on what I was talking about but at the same time it’s fun to look back at what my thoughts/experiences were during that time with the limited variety of yoyos I’ve played/owned. Edit: (About to age myself) Wow, didn’t realize I’ve been a member here since late 2010. Makes sense, that’s when I bought my Popstar shortly after joining. ---

I’ve been around these parts on and off since 2012. Admittedly, the last few times I’ve come back around have been to sell and trade. YYE BST FTW. 👌 ---

17 when I first started in 07 and then joined a yoyo forum at 09 or 10 so yeah, I recently came back and now here I am at 28, it’s been a while since I was even on this account. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yye-old-timers-5-forum-years/301529.md?page=2)
