Since then, he has blossomed into a spectacular yo-yoer, showcasing his skills up and down the west coast with his very distinct style.

Robbie Graham has released his second Bedroom Sessions video, and this one finds his style starting to loosen up quite a bit and gain some better flow than we’ve seen from him in the past. His trick construction has improved from his last Sessions video, and it looks like Robbie is really coming in to his own as a player. Great work!
Yoyo used is the Irony JP by Werrd. Music is NSFW.
Coca-Cola and A Bathing Ape have just released a new collaborative capsule collection, and one of the accessories in the collection is a yoyo! Featuring the A Bathing Ape mascot drinking a glass bottle of Coke, the yoyo looks like the iconic Russell yoyo from decades of Coca-Cola’s history…but it’s not. After confirming with Riki Russell that Russell Promotions didn’t manufacture these, we’re definitely a little bummed that Coke would knock off the supplier they used for 65 years!
The capsule collection features a bunch of apparel in both mens and womens sizes, as well as a G-Shock watch, drinking glass, and more. Head over to High Snobiety to check out the full line.
