Thread: how do you keep yourself intrested in yoyoing?

Learning different styles :) except for 2a and 3a.. :-p I tried 3a today and i can happily say i can bind both the yoyos back and do plastic whip withboth of them.. thats as far as ive gotten:) I have to say apart from 2a one of the most agitating styles to learn is offstring.. cause i have to keep picking up the yoyo over and over and over again each time i miss a whip. but i guess the more i practice the less i miss. Also watching top players like yuuki or mikhail or mickey makes me want to yoyo and get even better.. inspiration;-) I also like to yoyo in public alot to get some people's attention and get them into it:) But there are also those times where i just want to be alone with me and my yoyo.

Always have a yo in your pocket; there's tons of times you'll have a spare thirty seconds you can try to work something out - waiting in line at the store, waiting for the elevator, walking from here to there, whatever.

And if you're lucky enough to have other yo'ers in your town, join/start a club.

yeah i know i do that sometimes but it feels weird like everyone looks at you and stuff...kinda makes me wana hide in my shell...standing in line at the maket yoyoing...can sometimes make the wait a bit longer due to the fact everyone stops what they are doing to see the "SHOW" you have just created.

when ever see a really good video i want to do the samething so yeah to me it is like a my own little competion.

Wathing all the pathetic yoyoers in my school.

is this the full body of the post? i'm hoping that the next part was "because i can use my talent to help them get better, thus making them feel good while gratifying myself. after all, it's much more fun yoyoing with other people, and who cares about being better than everybody else in a small environment when i can have rewarding social interaction instead?"

but then it got cut off. that's probably what it was, right? right?

just sayin'.

Yeah Man I Just Yo-yo So I Can Go Up To Kids At My School Who Don't Yoyo And Be Like "hey Loser You Can't Do This I Am Better Then You" Thats Really What Keeps Me Going Ya

edit: what is up with not being allowed to type in all caps. this really ruins my whole post. oh well.

Yeah, some evil mod probably edited it.

i stay interested in yoyoing for the sheer fact that i meet some many cool people.i made a ton of friends yoyoing.i love being a part of a tight knit community where mostly everyone knows each other.i've gotten the chance to hang with the coolest people.some of them have become good friends of mine.i love collecting and throw.also all the new yoyos that come out keep me hooked.but mostly getting the chance to hang with cool people.

DUDE! I DO THAT TOO!

For me, what keeps me going, is the ability, to amaze people with things that i see as 'easy' as well as the feeling of knocking down your latest combo, with a near stock FHZ.

Cant really explain it over the internet, but for me it comes from inside. I'm aways hungry and inspired to be the best. If im not throwing than Im not getting any better, and I know someone out in this huge world is steppin their game up. I shouldnt even be on the internet right now.
Holla

another believer!!!! i am not alone!

contests keep me yoyoing, it's always inspiring, and i pick up new concepts every contest

I usually just throw the yo and say "I wonder if this is possible." I come up with many tricks and such right on the spot. I also sometimes tell people at my club that I came up with a new trick and then I throw the yo and make it up in front of them. I also find enjoyment in teaching "younger yoers" some of my old tricks that helped me along the way. Not only do I learn new tricks from my old tricks, but I like to see people learn different things, especially when they aren't "tricks" like kamakazi.
