The newest Recess Intl. team member puts in some work! Ok, he’s smiling the whole time and it looks like he’s having a really good time, but still, it takes work to get this good. And be this happy.

Recess Intl. – Supercut Remix (NSFW)
Recess Intl. just dropped a supercut of all their Instagram edits, and the result is hilarious. It’s like a glorious festival of “wait, what?” for the short attention-span set (which is pretty much all of us), featuring great tricks from rookies and pros and…well, other stuff.

Kenta Kushiro – Spring 2016
Kenta Kushiro makes that Recess sponsorship look good in this new video. A++, would buy again.

Daniel Flaherty – dflahjul14
Keiran Cooper just dropped a new (old) video featuring Daniel Flaherty! I say new (old) because it’s an old video that never actually got released, which means it’s old but it’s new to us so I had to find a clever way of saying this, because appearing to be clever is terribly important to me.
So, new (old) video. Daniel Flaherty. Enjoy.
Yoyo used is…I don’t know. But Daniel is sponsored by Recess now so let’s just pretend it’s a Recess Weekend because those are pretty good.
Ahmad Kharisma 2016 / Recess Intl.
I spent some time this morning processing registrations for Worlds and sending out invitation letters for yoyo players who need them to get their travel visas. I cannot tell you how stupidly excited I was to send an invitation letter to Ahmad Kharisma. He’s such a sweet, kind, awesome guy and an amazing yoyo player.
Let’s all gather some beverages and settle in to watch this video, like, 30 times or something, ok?

Ryosuke Kawamura Presents: Ky Zizan
Ky Zizan is front and center in the latest video from everyone’s favorite video collector, Ryosuke Kawamura. If yoyo players were Pokemon, Ryosuke would be that guy who caught all the Pokemon.

Ian Johnson & Shane Lubecker – Back From Uni
Ian Johnson and Shane Lubecker came home for Christmas break and put together a sweet video for us. ‘Tis the season, right? Solid tricks and concepts from both of them, as always.
From Ian:
Shane is back from the University of Kansas, and I am back from UCLA. We live about 40 minutes away from each other and were kicking it again when we looked at how long it’d been since we made a video. It was over 5 years, so we threw this together one night last week!

Adrian Velez – Where
Promising rookie Adrian Velez gives up a glimpse of the future in this quick new video. Gotta admit, with that green screen behind him I was half-expecting John Travolta to wander in to this video, looking confused.

Recess Intl. Presents: Daniel Flaherty
Daniel Flaherty recently got picked up by Recess, and this video should remove all doubt as to why that happened. Flaherty is a crazy gifted player, and he’s barely even started his career! Seems like we can probably expect some really great things both from Daniel and from Recess, which is already scooping up an incredible amount of talent for such a young company.

The Weekend is the first bi-metal release from Recess, the new company from World & National Champion Tyler Severance. The yoyo is stable, fast, and is well-suited for the highest levels of play in 1A, 3A, and 5A styles.
PLAY
The Recess Weekend is a fast, stable player that muscles through most tricks with ease. The shape is comfortable and familiar, and the Weekend always seems to have a bit more spin left than you expect. The Weekend really excels at both 1A and 5A, and the stainless steel rims are in a great spot to really maximize the weight distribution and keep the Weekend moving through even the craziest of plane-bending tricks. The extra-large finger spin area inside the cup does it’s job beautifully, and coupled with the bi-metal design the Weekend is a tremendous choice for players looking to up their horizontal game.
LOOKS
Available in several solid colors, the look of a bi-metal yoyo never gets old. Solid color anodizing with that shiny steel rim always looks good, and the Recess Weekend has a few other nice touches that set it apart. The non-symmetrical art is well outside the box for normal yoyo engravings, and keeping the finger spin cup clear of artwork not only helps with play but also gives the Weekend a unique look. The anodizing and engraving are both well done, and the fit of the rims to the body is smooth and clean.
VALUE
The Recess Weekend retails for $120, placing it out of the realm of a casual purchase but still a very reasonable price at the lower end of the spectrum for quality bi-metal yoyos. With a unique look, the backing of a World & National Champion, and plenty of play value, the Recess Weekend is worth the price for any serious competitor.

Tyler Severance is gearing up for a run at the 2015 World YoYo Contest, and with the launch of his new company that means we get a new counterweight video. Which is most definitely a good thing.
