A long time ago, when I was in 5th grade my friend came over, and had a Duncan Butterfly. I played with it and got hooked, so I got a Speed Beetle and tried to learn tricks with it. Obviously, I started doing it less and less, until I quit altogether.

In 6th grade, we had something called "Science Camp." Its where all of the 6th graders go to a place called Pathfinder Ranch located in the mountains, and we stay there for 5 days. One of the camp leaders was named Foghorn, and he yoyoed very well. So, reminicing about my 5th grade times, I decided to pick up another yoyo, after Science Camp.

As a result, I got another Duncan Speed Beetle. Very soon though, I knew it was horrrible for string tricks so I got my parents to get me a YYJ Kickside as I promoted from elementary school. Soon, I got my other friends into it. We all had YYJ plastics, but then later on, they bought more yoyos. Justin got a vict, and Jason got an Aquarius. Cause they felt bad for me, they lied to me and said, "Samad, can we borrow $10, we need to buy our friend a B-Day present" So I gave them the money. As I said, they tricked me and gave me a Dorothy bearing instead.

Later on, during the summer, I began saving up for a DM, and after 2 months, I bought one. I used that DM, and got decently good.

Then, thanks to André's chat night, I won a Legacy.

A couple months later, I went to my first contest, and bought my first metal, the Green YoYoFactory G5. Also, thanks to André, I won a Jamboo, but I traded it for a M1, which is on the way to my house.

I love this hobby  Smiley

My mom bought me my first light up yoyo that only slept 10 years ago . I was hooked on it but got bored of it.

Another year she bought me a X-Brain from Yomega China and I started to walk the dog. Couple days later got bored.

Then 3 years later she bought a Duncan ProYo on sale for me. Got good with loops and sleeping. Used it to impress at sixth grade talent show. Found my calling

another year, my ProYo started to wear away and break so I needed a new Yoyo. That year my mom went to China to visit my ill grandpa. She brought back my zinc Blazing Teens Grey Fox by Auldey. With it i can do many more tricks. Recently i used it to win my school's Talent Contest against a bunch of other girls that sang. Got a front of lunch line pass for the rest of the year.

Maybe in high school i'll go pro.
