Been checking this board out recently to see if there's any yoyo discussion going on, and finally there's a thread about it.
It's a cool hobby and I've been doing it for a few months now. Got a YYF Velocity as my first yoyo since there's only one place in my country to buy decent yoyos and they only resell YYF stuff. After looking into it deeper, got a Magic Yoyo N12 and as
>>6256598 stated, they offer competition level yoyos at ridiculously low prices. Then that I got bored for a bit but after recently getting a YYF Protostar for my birthday, I got back into it really hard. Right now waiting for a Magic yoyo D1 to get a little into looping.
All in all, it' a really cool hobby that's still pretty unpopular and people find it unusual.
