Seth first discovered yoyo in 1998-2000 until he lost his first one in a move.  After rediscovering the hobby in 2020, he picked right back up with a Fireball and then discovered the modern world that yoyo has become!  He enjoys all styles of yoyo, although he resonates most with 1a and 0a (fixie/responsive).

Seth loves to teach others about yoyo and shares his many tricks via tutorials online.

From a small town in Missouri, this husband and father also enjoys wood carving, playing music, skateboarding, and spreading the love of yo!

Adam started his yoyo journey in 2012 with a group of Elementary School friends.  They all picked up some yoyos and started attending a club in North Carolina.  A club run by none other than Ed Happonik!

Ram picked up a Duncan Butterfly XT from Target in 2022 as an impulse buy to relive some nostalgia from when he was younger- your “walk the dog,” “rock the baby,” classic old-school type of tricks. Little did he know that this would be the start of something that would become a part of his everyday life, and he is constantly learning and growing in terms of both competitive and casual play.

Ram’s preferred style of play is 1a and he enjoys stepping out of his comfort zone to constantly keep learning new tricks. He enjoys smooth, flowy combos that involve slacks and whips and loves yoyos on the floatier side to accommodate to them.

He’s lived in Melbourne, Florida his whole life and enjoys other hobbies such as listening to and making music, going to the thrift store, and lifting weights. He is currently attending UCF to pursue a career in marketing and loves all things design.

Ram can be found on Instagram (@ram.marana) and on TikTok, where he posts a variety of videos (@rmaranaa). 

Michael started yoyoing 9 years ago, in 2014. He was inspired to learn yoyo by an episode of GMM (Good Mythical Morning) that showcased modern unresponsive yoyo ft. Zack Gormley. He was immediately hooked! 5 years later, Michael submitted a yoyo trick clip for their "Spin the Wheel of Mythicality" segment and got picked for episode #1758. 

Michael primarily plays 1a, also dabbling in 5a for "5a May" each year! Yoyo shape preferences include: organic, v shape and slimline yoyos. Michael loves learning and sharing new tricks, although he is not a competitive player. He particularly enjoys tech and flowy combos. 

Prior to TRT, Michael was on the now defunct Throwing Sideways Yoyo Team up until they closed up shop. He lives in Southeastern PA, with his Wife and two dogs. Michael's motto in life is simple, “Do What's Fun.” Besides yoyoing, he loves playing D&D and frequenting craft breweries. A former vocalist of a signed Metal band, he currently works in the coffee industry.

Grant found yoyoing with a lot of us during the boom in 1998.  He kept playing strong through about 2003, earning a sponsorship from a now defunct yoyo retailer back in 2000 and placing 2nd at SER 2001.  College took priority beginning in 2004, but he still attended Worlds almost every year until 2010.  After a nine year break, in 2019 Grant has reignited his passion for both throwing and collecting yoyos!  He placed 2nd at Sean Perez's Freestyle Competition (his first competition in 12 years)!  Most recently, Grant placed 3rd in the Responsive division at the 2022 Florida State Yoyo Contest.

David started yoyoing at 4.  On a trip to Disney he saw another kid his age yoyoing and got hooked!  He's helped organize and participated in the modern Orlando yoyo scene since 2010.  Over the years, David has promoted yoyo as a mentor to others and helped organize and participate in charity events. As a professional competitor, David placed 8th in 1a finals at SER 2018. He says he has seen more yoyos in his life than he can remember!  "Old school all the way!"  David recently placed 3rd at the Feet on Fire Freestyle Competition!  Find David on Instagram @davidyoyoman
