Shinwoo Techno - H-Shaped Plastic
Pictures from Spingear
This is a new plastic from Shinwoo called the Techno. I saw this on the Spingear blog. Looks similar to what you would expect from a plastic H-Shape yo-yo like the Genesis. No word on if these are coming to the states, but probably would be in the $10-$15 price range.
: Captured : - Vintage Ribbon Yo-Yo
This was my first yo-yo I ever owned. 1985 probably. 4 wheel skates, Neon Polaroid Cameras, and running shorts. Also, Alf was cool…
Probably the only yo-yo line ever to have a 33mm gap…
These Belong in a Museum -Save Deth Digital Video Cameras
SaveDeth is selling its two Video Cameras used for capturing all those incredible quality shots from SaveDeth Vol.II.
The two models are the Panasonic DVX-100a and Panasonic DVX-100b and the Save Deth crew are blowing them out at $1000 and $1200 (respectively).
This is well below average price for a used model of this quality. If you want a great quality mini DV Camera for a great price, jump on these before someone else does. These guys are nuts for giving these up. What is says to me? It says that the new cameras they got must be exceptional quality which means that the next SaveDeth video is going to rock.

Product Review - One Drop - MarkMont Next
Introduction:
The original MarkMont Project was a slightly tweaked version of the OneDrop Project. It held the same relative shape and specs, a slightly heavier frame, and a nickel coating. The MarkMont was hugely popular for many reasons including the play feel, durability, clean look, and the person the yo-yo is named for. Lets face it, Mark is a cool guy. If the original MarkMont was named after Carrot Top, it would probably not be nearly as loved. Over the last year, OneDrop has been hard at work at a new MarkMont yo-yo. The initial speculation was that OneDrop would nickel plate a P2 and call it done, but instead they redesigned the original MarkMont, updated the tech, polished the details, and after a year of prototyping and a brilliant three week marketing campaign, the MarkMont Next was released (and instantly sold out). OneDrop sent me a MarkMont Next for review and I will freely admit right now that this yo-yo had me waiting on pins and needles to get it into a review session. I want to play it, write about it, and photograph the heck out of it.

New ongoing feature here on YoYoSkills. I think I have expressed how much I am getting into Photography recently so I thought that a new ongoing segment focusing on Yo-Yos in Photography might fit here on YoYoSkills.com

YoYoSkeel Stalker - drops at 28spin.com
Saw this on Facebook. The poster seems to speak for itself. The yo-yo frightens me. This is not a model that want to catch wrong or catch a bad bind with.
Product Review - Sky Walker by Vs. Newton
Introduction:
Pictures of the Sky Walker have been floating around for a while now. Thanks to Heath’s “Open Source” style, the yo-yo community has had the privilege of seeing the Sky Walker at nearly every stage of development. From early CAD drawings to the tables at the Bay Area Classic, every stage of the Sky Walker was public. It was Heath’s first yo-yo and after almost not coming out, after nearly a year of anticipation and curiosity, the Sky Walker finally emerged. May, 2010, Bay Area Classics. The first retail run of the Sky Walker was released.
