33 here. Picked up throwing again about 6 months ago. Last time before that I was learning from Kens world on a string in the late 90s.

I agree with everything. I just wanted you to be "safe" with your finances considering jobs are hard to come by these days. Glad it worked out for you.
no worries, I really appreciate the concern, and I have my own family to take care of on top of that. that said, I know I can easily find a job because I'm willing to do whatever for a given amount of time. I know by now that I want to be my own boss, so a job will also be temporary for me unless I work for myself. |

I'm almost 30 and dreading the next bday but oh well. I yoyoed a lot when I was younger on butterflys doing loops and other old school tricks. I picked it up again christmas of 2010 when I bought my son a butterfly to go in his stocking. He didnt get much from it but I did. I played with it for awhile and bought a couple bearing yoyos, started a new job, got busy, stopped throwing and then picked it back up in November of last year. I learned to bind and the rest is history. I yoyo everyday for several hours no exception. It drives my wife crazy but oh well. I started a club with some other guys in the area, I went to VA states and plan on going to more contests.

I'm 35 and drive my wife crazy as well. She says she can hear YoYo bearings in her sleep! I started a club in my community and have been teaching classes at the afterschool center. It's been a blast. Im an administrator of a probation department and am responsible for handling workers comp claims. I've always wondered if yoyoing is a good way to prevent repetitive motion injuries or arthritis in hands or wrists? So when I'm caught throwing at work I can say I'm doing my "exercises". Seriously though. You use both hands in a wide range of stretching and strength building movements that I think would be helpful. Anyone have any experience to back my theory? |

from nothing but my own personal experience, it's quite the contrary. I'm afraid yoyoing might cause this kind of injuries. When I practice a lot (like before contest or "grinding" my FS or one trick I'm working on) I tend to hurt myself quite often (tendinitis) and I never had that before (even tho I play the piano and spend extensive time typing on a computer) |

I agree with Hadog, I would think yoyoing could lead to tendinitis or repetitive use injuries. However, if you already have a bit of arthritis then it might help to keep thing stretched and a bit loose.
I'm not a doctor, I only play one in my mind.

43 here, and throwing for nearly 9 months now. It was either this or invest my money. Yoyos just seemed more practical  |

I proudly confess I am a 14 year old locked in a 53 year old body! Throwing keeps my mind and body sharp. Well, not really but it is fun!

Ok.............I guess I can reveal that I'm 55  !! Started throwing while Kennedy was in office. I had a Duncan Bowl-Yo if anyone remembers one of those. Obviously things have progressed nicely in the YoYo industry since then. Though I catch a lot of crap from some friends for always having a YoYo in my hand, I will never give it up. I just wish people would quit asking me to "Walk the Dog" !! Now that is getting old ! |
