My brother is actually pretty good. He has like 33 yoyo's. I have a bunch of yoyo's but i barley use them i let my brother do all tricks and stuff. Also Taylor Noyes is a 3 time Colorado state champ and also is a cuber. Im just not sure if he is on here...

I fail... I know like split the atom >.<' and maybe also a drop in the bucket variation, that is supposed to be harder than drop in the bucket XP

started yo-yoing one week ago, so Im new to it, but I will get better (hopefully) ^_^

can just do sleeper, walk the dog, irish flag (or what the name is, dont remember), eiffel tower, rock the baby, forward pass, around the world, breakaway, UFO (working on catching better) and gravity pull, practicing trapeze atm, cant get it back after mounting it on the string

So yeah, mostly sleeper tricks right now :3

I have played yoyo for more than a year or so and my favourite playing style is 5A.
I am currently using YYF Yuuksta (purple).
I know a few 5A tricks including helicopter, electronic fan, arial, bee stings etc, which you can learn all of them in youtube.
check out this video if you are keen to 5A:

My friend Taylor is extremely good. I was planning to go to AZ open with him but it's on the same day as his YoYo comp. He is planning to be champion again!


It's mesmerizing~

I'm decent I suppose, but I only practice maybe once a week nowadays as I have other things to do. I never got serious enough to go to a competition, though (not that I was that good) - yo-yoing is like juggling for me, purely for fun.
