I have been yoyoing since about 2005 or so. I found a Duncan Proyo and played with it until the string broke. The yoyo was fine though so I googled where to get new string. I found Infinite Illusions/YoYoGuy, got some replacement string. I think it was that yellow/black cotton string they had. I then found YoYoNation and those forums. When they were gone, I found YoYoExpert and I’ve been here since.
