Indigo Homage

Here is a larger picture. Kiya is always about the details. And for the 5th colab with The Flat Head he has paid homage to one of his other passions, Yo-Yos. Fun Time Yoyo indeed.
This limited run of probably no more then 300 jeans makes yo-yoing so much cooler then almost anything else that’s happened […]

Plug in 3

This was posted over at theyo.com

The Plug in 2 i played with a few years ago blew my mind. It is, to me, THE unsung hero of aluminum yo-yos. amazing balance and tolerance. I heard rumor that it was machined at the same shop as the Oxy was? It would make sense.

Looks like they are […]

Building a Better Bootleg

Thanks to Oke Rosgana for posting all these pictures here.

Rosgana had an interesting comment on how the seem between the metal rim and the plastic body was “perfect”. What happens when a bootleg’s quality surpasses that of the original?

There are a lot of bootlegs coming out of China now a days. Yo-Yo Jam, Yo-Yo […]

Blood and Bones

A new all over print yo-yo has dropped from Yo-Yo Guy.

This time they’ve anodized a batch of 48 Dif-E-Yo Barebones and printed the Cross Bones pattern on it.
The black on red looks really sharp.

401SD

Damn it, they did it again!

So a few years ago Yo-Yo Factory stepped up to the plate and gave us the 401K. Probably the most innovative yo-yo since the Mondial. After that they just kept cranking them out. Hubstacks, super rim G5 shape. If your a regular at yoyo2 you know every week or so […]

The “Bad Rep” by RecRev

I don’t really know what to say about this yo-yo. Alex Kim of BIO is trying his hand at the yo-yo thing again. The name is kind of tacky considering he’s making fun of all the shit hes done.

It looks like an undersized 401K with hub stacks and a large bearing. Which in its own […]

‘08 888

What makes the ‘08 888 different you say? well to start off they’ve made it out of a higher alloy grade and they changed the machining process to give it the nice shinny finish. The other cool thing about the new 888s is the axle is ‘floating’. meaning you can unscrew it from the yo-yo […]
