History in yoyoing ...

Hi readers , if you are wondering how long have I been playing with the yoyo , my answer would be 7 years ( plus minus a couple of years ). Ever since I was 5 years old , i remember that i bought this cheap plastic yoyo ( 20cents ) and my maid thought me how to do gravity pull. In which case i didnt know it was consider as a trick .. hehehe

As the years passed by , I soon got to know a yoyomaster from the United States. You might know him if you were born in year ..mmm... 1997 ... If im not mistaken .. hehehe .. He is Yo-Hans... That was during the pro-yo season in Malaysia ... Then i started playing with yoyos again. My brother introduced me the very first yoyo that spins when you throw it on the ground which is known as the Long Sleeper.

From there , i gradually pick up other tricks ( basic tricks of course ^^ ) such as Forward Pass , Around the World , and Moonsault ( man on the flying trapeze )... Too bad the habit didnt last long... One of the main reason is because its hard for a 8 years old kid to get friction pads and extra strings cause they it is only available in BP petrol station ( which is weird ... yoyoing + petrol station = ??? ).I stopped for atleast another 5 years and at that moment , i took back again the interest in yoyoing.

You must be wondering "WHY ?". Its because I saw a couple of guys were playing yoyo at Amcorp Mall and thats the first time I saw anyone plays 4A division ( offstring ).. These yoyo players formed a club and is currently known as M-yo ( malaysian yoyo club ). From there it inspired me to pick up where I left and thank god , superyoyo season came in. That would be in year 2005. From there onwards, I started collecting my yoyos slowly... and now ... im proud to show you my entire collection... ( 1997-2010 )


From that day onwards , i have never stop yoyoing... Like i said , it has became my passion. I regret not keeping my very first yoyo although it is a cheap yoyo, but it has lots of sentimentel value. Those yoyo players that I saw when I was a kid is now my president , my teachers and most of all ... My friends ^^.. Hope that you, the reader , will be motivated in some way or another to keep this passion alive... ^^ Thanks for reading !
