So, I'm getting back in to yo'ing (is that the correct term?
)
My main hobby (apart from gaming) is sleight of hand and I've been doing that quite a while.
However, I was walking through a $2 shop and decided to buy a cheap yoyo, just to muck around with.
I have a tendency to obsess about things when I start getting into hobbies and this is no different. The cheap yoyo was awful, didn't work and was thrown in the bin after about ten minutes. However, my desire to throw down was sparked and I couldn't resist beginning my google-fu in search of good quality yoyos...
But I had no idea how far down the rabbit hole went.
Impulsively, I went with what I knew... I only remember two brands from my long-past ventures in to yoing... Moose (
http://www.mooseworld.com.au/our-brands/traditionals-home/view-products/yo-yo/ here is what I remember... these were THE yoyo when I was young, maybe 15 years ago... Fixed axle, solid plasic? I'm new to this stuff, but like I said, I obsessively learn about things I'm interested in) and Yomega, particularly the Brain, which was like the super deluxe yoyo, which I never had.
Since the Yoyo stores I googled up didn't sell Moose, I naturally went with Yomega and before I knew it, had ordered a Raider and a Maverick on eBay. Now I know that the Maverick has strongly mixed reviews, but I didn't really see the negative ones until after I'd already ordered it. I'm happy to stick with my choice and if need be, get a better string-trick yoyo later (or sooner, depending on how much I enjoy yoing). I also didn't know about the 'Worlds 07 incident' until after, so save the "YOMEGA IS TEH DEVUL" type posts (or not,
). The Maverick looks cool to me and the Raider seems to be quite well acclaimed for looping type tricks.
Since then, I've read hours and hours of stuff and I'm anxious to get a decent yoyo into my hot little hands and start knocking things off the shelf.
So, I'm here to introduce myself to the community. Hello! I'm tvellalott.
