CLYW News: New Gnarwhal & New Video

September 18, 2013 By Steve Brown

CLYW dropped their first email newsletter since December of last year, and it looks like their going to start putting them out more regularly. Sign up here if you haven’t already: CLYW Email List.

They dropped a new video of Chuck and Zach, filmed at Worlds and full of bangers. “August Blueprint” is 2:42 of exactly the kind of yoyoing that has made the CLYW team one of the most respected group of contest players in the past couple of years.

And CLYW dropped info on the newly redesigned Gnarwhal (currently just being called the Gnarwhal 2, but they might have a more formal “edition name” by the time it’s finally released). From their newsletter:

I felt the Gnarwhal was a perfect size and shape, but it needed an update to keep up with our new models. Adding some more rim weight would increase those spin times and make it more stable. So I revised the design and made it a hair wider, and the walls were optimized for maximum rim weight and strength.

The weight was kept around 65.5g, making it perfect for speed and nimble enough for plane breaking tricks. The catch zone is a little wider as well to make it easier to fly through tricks without having to worry about missing a string. I’m really happy with what we came up with: the Gnarwhal 2 is perfect for competition and can keep that spin going while learning those more advanced Cabin Tutorials.

Full specs and release info coming soon.

See Steve Brown Take Off His Pants And Run His Mouth

September 18, 2013 By Steve Brown

I performed in Pittsburgh a few months ago with Mark & Jonathan’s Fireside Chat, a live variety/talk show hosted by Mark Hayward and Jonathan Burns.

They just sent me a link to a video recap of the show, so check it out if you’ve ever wanted to see me wearing a tuxedo, taking off my pants, yoyoing in a tutu, and/or running my mouth about how I starting yoyoing.

Everyone’s favorite superstar yoyo player, Harrison Lee, will be performing at an art gallery in Vancouver tomorrow night. Why an art gallery?

Michigan yoyo player Connor Scholten took First Place and won $500 in his local “GR’s Got Talent” show in Grand Rapids, Michigan. That’s a nice chunk of change for a yoyo player, almost enough to buy an Anglam! (Just kidding. It’s enough for an Anglam and some special Anglam string.) Congrats, Connor!

New CLYW Website

September 18, 2013 By Steve Brown

http://www.clyw.ca

Our friends at CLYW have a new website, and have been dropping some great special editions!

Two limited editions of the Yeti have gone up (and sold out immediately) as well as the FINAL RUN of the Canvas! There are a handful of Ash Berry (gorgeous!) and Electric Bacon Canvases left, but after this there will be no more.

The new site combines the CLYW blog and store, so finally you have a one-stop for all your information about CLYW. Well, other than YoYoNews.com. 😉

There will be ONE final Canvas drop before the model is officially retired…and rumor has it this one will feature special artwork by Jensen Kimmitt! No pics yet since they’re at the engravers now, but we’ll post pics and a release time the moment we have more information.
