The following is a letter from Duncan to the people letters were sent, and generally to the yo-yo community. I asked Mike to send me a copy to post here.

My apologies to any and all readers who were offended by $eth’s recent post, describing the Black Day yo-yo as “a coon new yo-yo”.

A very cool new Black Day yo-yo will be dropping at Yo-Yo Guy.com soon. This new printing technique they have rigged up looks very cool. I’m excited to see what other products transpire.

Comedy.

Harper here - i have been watching this whole deal from afar and here are my thoughts:
This whole thing with Duncan sending out cease and desist letters to well-known yo-yo players and their own retailers just doesn’t make any sense. For those who don’t know, a cease and desist “is a legal term essentially meaning […]
