I've been yoyoing for 2 months now. I really enjoyed so much. It looks like a childish toy, but now a days yoyo growth more popular. With a new kind of yoyo, you could land the string on a yoyo and do some kind of cool tricks. Like kamikaze, ladder escape or you could even try to make your own tricks. Here is a video showing how cool a yoyo is http://vimeo.com/4162373. So do you think yoyo is a childish toy?

I don't think a yo-yo is childish. I think it takes will skill and determination to do some of the things I have seen people do with a yo-yo. Who knows, maybe it will become a official sport.

I agree with you. Now yoyos are growing so fast, but sadly I couldn't find any yoyo store near me. So I have to get it online. But it is a nice game, and its good for show offs.

I failed horribly at yo-yo when I was a kid. It took me FOREVER just to "walk the dog". Then people started "Rocking the cradle", I was outdone. It's good that you didn't give up and I think yo-yo is a toy that will be staying around for a while.

yes, yo-yoing can be quite difficult with all those techniques. But it has been coming & going over the decades.

It's not childish at all. Yo-yo is very difficult to play if you do tricks. Just like skating and roller balding. You need to practice a lot before you can get skillful. I enjoy watching people playing yoyo especially with those with flashing little lights inside. It is so beautiful.
