We’ve got a new video from the current Utah State YoYo Champion, Spencer Walker, and it’s good stuff. Dig in.
Yoyos used are the Nomad and Rex by Square Wheels YoYo Company.
Shane Lubecker – The Nomad
The new Nomad drops tonight at SquareWheelsYoYos.com at 9 PM EST…check out the official promo video for this new signature model for Shane Lubecker!
Dem Boyz ft. Alec Campbell & Eric Tran-Ton (NSFW)
We’ve got a new video, filmed during Midwest Regionals, and it’s a bruiser. Some solid yoyo play from Alec Campbell, Eric Tran-Ton, Robbie Graham, and Gavin Lent.
Music is NSFW.
Kyle Nations – Cool In The Shade
Kyle Nations drops another glorious fixie yoyo bomb with his new video, “Cool in the Shade”. If fixed axle yoyoing was a three headed dragon, Kyle would be the head that Ed Haponik always yells at even though it was actually the Drew Tetz head that lit that fart with his dragon breath.
It’s entirely too late at night for me to be making metaphors.
Yoyos used are the BC Atlas, and the Royale w/Cheese & Missing Link by Square Wheels.
Kyle Nations – I Like To Play
Kyle Nations drops yet another video of fixie goodness, including some tricks with the prototype fixed axle throw coming soon from Square Wheels YoYo Company. Bearings are for suckers!
Yoyos used are the Missing Link by Square Wheels and the SPYY x TMBR eh.
Owen Ekblad – Red Shorts
This is just a short, single combo trick dump of a video but Owen Ekblad rocked it, and it got my attention.
Yoyo used is the Rockefeller by Square Wheels YoYo Company.
First Look – Square Wheels Plastic Prototype
We’re exciting to bring you a first look at the prototype for the new machined plastic yoyo from Square Wheels!
Square Wheels Plastic Prototype Specs:
Diameter – 57.75mm
Width – 44.00mm
Weight – 60-64g (making prototypes in various weights to get this right on)
Bearing – Size C (.250 x .500 x .187)
Response – Square Wheels Pads (19mm Slim)
Square Wheels has put a ton of thought and effort in to this, and they feel it’s a real game-changer for machined plastic yoyos. A few features they shared with us:
1. The yoyo is machined from a plastic resin that is hand mixed, degassed, and cast into bars by Jon Mackey. Since this is a hand-cast plastic, this gives them the ability to mix any color they want.
2. A unique new design for the bearing seat. Square Wheels has heard the complaints about bearings fitting too tight, too loose, and even breaking the plastic. Square Wheels has developed a new design, and will be machining their own bearing seats at near perfect tolerances…without inflating the price of the yoyo.
3. This new plastic yoyo uses a different resin formula in the rims than the body, to allow for legitimate rim weighting while maintaining even wall thicknesses and no risking the structural integrity of the yoyo. Since Square Wheels is hand-mixing and casting the resin bars themselves, they can even introduce drastically different weighting scenarios from one run to the next.
Square Wheels will be producing both bearing and fixed axle models with their proprietary resin formula. I think with this much thought going in to this new product line, we can expect some really unique things from Square Wheels. No word on price or release date, but we’ll update when we get more information.
Robbie Graham – Bedroom Sessions (NSFW)
Robbie Graham dropped a new video that compiles some of the tricks he’s been posting on Instagram along with a few other bits of newness. Some really nice work in here…we’re expecting good things from Robbie in 2014.
Yoyo used is the Nomad by Square Wheels YoYo Company. Music is NSFW.
Robbie Graham – Resonance
Robbie Graham drops his 3-year anniversary video, and has some nice trick concepts and composition. Robbie is definitely coming along as a player, and in another year or two could become a serious contender.
Yoyo used is the Rockefeller by Square Wheels.
The Rex ft. Spencer Walker
The Square Wheels YoYo Company continues the festivities in promoting the release of the Rex with this video from Spencer Walker.
Spencer makes yoyo-face, which is endearing, and has some really promising trick construction. Enjoy!

The new Rex from Square Wheels YoYos is shipping out to retailers at the end of the week, and the Square Wheels team will be releasing videos with this new model to promote the drop. First up is Owen Ekblad, throwing down some great JonRob-inspired tech 5A play.
Kyle Nations Joins Square Wheels Team
Fixie lover and all-around great yoyo player Kyle Nations has officially joined the Square Wheels team! And to celebrate, he dropped this short new video with one great picture trick, one straight baller of a combo, and one really pretty Chain Reaction variation. Congratulations to Kyle and Square Wheels!
Owen Ekblad Double Feature
We’ve got two videos from Square Wheels player Owen Ekblad.
First up is a new video showing off some of Owen’s new 1A tricks. He’s one of our favorite up-and-comers, and this video should tell you why. Yoyo used is the Square Wheels Rockefeller.
And Owen also did a video for Terra YoYo Tutorials, of his trick “Bizarre Star”.
Owen has been putting out some great content lately…he’s definitely someone to watch out for in the 2014 contest season.
