YOYOZEEKIO FLARE ULTRA: A REVIEW BY WAYLON CRASE *I am a member of the YoyoZeekio team. This does not mean I will automatically love every yoyo the company brings to market just because I get one for free. If anything, I am more critical of the product because as a team member I am…
I recently saw Throw, an award winning short film made by Early Light Media. It’s shot in Baltimore and documents one of the more popular and colorful characters on the Yo-Yo scene, Coffin Nachtmahr . Throw is a documentary about Coffin, but it’s really about so much more. They present the city of Baltimore in a…
YOYOZEEKIO BERN: A REVIEW BY WAYLON CRASE When photos of YoyoZeekio’s latest offering surfaced on Facebook, some small amount of controversy ensued regarding the name of the yoyo and the image YoyoZeekio elected to display on the hub. I will not address that issue any further in this review. Anyone who wanted to discuss it…

If you happen to see any of the YoyoFactory guys at an event or trade show or something, you will notice that they are wearing shocking pink sneakers. At first it might strike you as a little surprising (they are very very bright pink), but that’s kind of the point. Pink and Black is YoyoFactory’s…
Introducing the Silverback King! MonkeyfingeR Design and King Yo Star worked through 4 stages of prototypes honing this design to create an off-string yo-yo intended to bridges the gap between the ideal throw for learning, and a competition throw. Crafted out of Delrin, it was extensively tested (i.e. bashed around) on every surface they could find. This 4a design is intended for beginner play…
Ahmad Kharisma knocked it out of the park with this one! It’s quite amazing watching how fast he can make slack loops shoot around, and how easily he can catch them. He really showcases how perfectly he can manipulate the string and yoyo along his arms and can easily incorporate his arms into a trick….
