Goodbye Collin

By

Collin Ellingson is heading off on a 2-year mission trip, which means the world gets more Collin than usual and we get much less. Luckily, we get to send him off with this lovely video. Can’t wait too see the sequel. Have fun, Collin!

From SF:

Almost two years ago exactly, we gave Collin a yoyo and a sticky note at PNWR that said “Welcome to the team.” He was one of the very first people Paul Harness told us he’d like to have as a teammate when we were a new brand… and that was such a great suggestion. In those two years he’s grown as a player even more than we have as a brand, obtained the camera that filmed Static, helped produce some awesome videos (worlds team video!!!), bickered with Alec a lot, spread hophopgeetee around the globe, made Keiran kick him from the team chat at least 60 times, and even made a goofy yoyo with us. Now- he’s about to take off for a couple years. He’ll be back with two years of trickmaking in isolation under his belt. Sequel video in 2022. Hold us to it.

Duncan Toys Presents: Javier Augusto X Sebastian Lavin

By

Javier August and Sebastian Lavin bring the heat in their first video of the year for sponsor Duncan Toys. Solid dudes, solid tricks. From Duncan:

New Year. New Video.

A cinematic approach with a trick focused video. We present to you, Javier Augusto x Sebastian Lavin! These two are a great tandem. Javier is a Team Duncan veteran with a National Champion title under his belt, and Sebastian, who just started playing yo-yo three years ago and a rising Mexican star with a very competitive mindset. What else can we ask for? In a serious note, Javier is working hard to train Sebastian as he sees a bright future ahead of him. He’s been coaching Sebastian for two years now, and he’s not going to stop to help him become a top tier competitive player.

Yoyo used is the Duncan Barracuda X.

Leonid Nemchik is the latest to get stoked on this yoyo, and watching what he can do with it…well, we’re pretty stoked too.

Second Family – SF YoYos WYYC 2019 Team Video

I see Remy and I see Remy’s dad so I don’t think this is a “second family” I think that Remy just has a crapload of siblings. I will fight anyone who disagrees. #SFYoyos

Duncan Toys Presents: Isaac Sams ft. Exit 8

By

Duncan Toys brings us some quality yoyoing from Isaac Sams, someone we haven’t heard from in a while. Isaac has had a huge impact on the technical yoyo scene, and he’s the kind of guy that is your favorite player’s favorite player. Nice to see him in front of the camera again!

One of the biggest hits of the new Basecamp lineup is the Pariah, a collaboration between SF YoYos and CLYW that combines elements of the Akita (CLYW signature model of Mark Mangarin) and Cadence (SF signature model of Kieran Cooper). So what better way to promote it than to smash Mark’s face onto Keiran and vice-versa and make everyone super uncomfortable?

First release of the Pariah was at the 2019 World YoYo Contest, but more will be available soon. Check out full specs below.
