For anyone who thinks that modern 1A yoyo play has gotten stale, I present Exhibit A for the defense. Kyle Nations and Doc Pop teamed up for a pretty incredible video of modern responsive 1A play and honestly after watching this I’m running for my wood yoyos to see how many of these tricks I can figure out. So good!!
Matyáš Držmíšek Joins SF
Congrats to SF on picking up Matyáš Držmíšek, and congrats to Matyáš on the new sponsorship!
Matyáš is one of the best up and coming players in the Czech Republic/probably the world and Tony is his biggest fan. He was probably more excited to offer him a team spot in person than Matyáš was to get on the team. They made this ridiculously adorable video with the moment, the hug, and the Christmas Day unboxing vibes. Excited to see him continue to create dense and visually appealing tricks for 1000 more years.

Obsession ft. mowl Ambassadors
Few companies know how to hang out and have a good time like our friends at mowl!
From mowl:
During their last trip to Osaka our Ambassadors Kenta Kushiro and Daiki Tanaka had the opportunity to meet up with our dear friends Ryo Tahira and DJ HTOWN and take over the street of Osaka all dressed by the freshest and well-known brand Team Satan, to whom by the way we like to show and express our utmost appreciation for the kind gesture. This video featured one of our greatest product, the mowl “Obsession” which is beautifully presented by these talented gentlemen.
