"Yoyoing is learning. It is socialization. It is private or performance. It is everything that you can put your power personality behind. It is raw, polite, rude, and an outlet for that personality. Yoyo is for everyone."
-Chris Allen
Come, join me and re-discover this age-old toy and find your place is the modern world of yoyo.
Once a fad that washed through schools, yoyo faded but never went away. Instead it moved underground and grew into a more complex hobby.
Walk the Dog, Rock the Baby, Around the World - these classic tricks have grown into a limitless realm of skill and artistry.
"It helps me relax during a break at work"
"Yoyo helps me improve hand-eye coordination."
"Yoyoing helps calm me when I'm stressed out."
"It's something to fidget with when I'm feeling antsy"
The yoyo has grown up. The old-fashioned wooden yoyo gives way to precision-machined aluminum, ball bearings, and polyester strings. 15 seconds of spin time turns into 30 minutes on a throw! The library of possible tricks has grown from a couple dozen to countless thousands. Hobbyists and Social media influencers, artists and makers, competitors and performers. There's a place for everyone in yoyo.

It's time for you to re-discover this age-old toy and find your place in the modern world of yoyo.
Yoyothrower: - "J.D. McKay is a madman, but a madman is what these times require. His writing choices are eclectic. His first release - The Duck: How to make THEM pay - set the tone of his utterly ridiculous fiction writing. His first non-fiction release - How to Run a Boutique Yoyo Business - is evidence of his madness. Who else would write an entire book for a niche of about 50 people? He is also currently assembling an instructional book for middle aged folk who have finally found the time to learn guitar, a series of children's picture books, and more. This is alongside an established yoyo company and his day job corrupting the minds of small children...I mean, teaching grade 2. Join him on his adventures, you won't regret it! Or you might. But it'll be fun either way!"
