Chris Makita – Chri$tyle
Duncan Crew Philippines heavy hitter Chris Makita proves once again that he’s one of the most formidable trick composers in the 1A game with a one throw combo just shy of two minutes long. There are more than enough modern slack elements here to keep you busy for a couple years.
Chris is using Kohta Watanabe’s new signature yo-yo from Duncan, the Strix. Very excited to see what else the crew is going to do with it!

Coleman Weimer – Haven
Coleman Weimer gets laaaazy in this beautifully shot new video. He’s got such a minimal, laid-back style that you can’t help but think that he just woke up, or maybe he’s been drinking a lot of NyQuil. Either way, he’s a pleasure to watch…and hey look at that, more yoyo/kendama crossover. Neat.
Chris Rodrigues – YoYo and Dama
The yoyo/kendama crossover continues with this quick video from Chris Rodrigues of the Wenatchee Kendama Team. It’s really interesting to see the style of yoyo play that kendama players adopt immediately…the full-body movement, the knee bends, etc. They’re still moving like they’re doing kendama tricks! It’s neat to watch, and a great reminder that skill toys are skill toys, and you can draw inspiration from anywhere.
