Micah Wingell – Scales Freshman

December 30, 2018 By Steve Brown

Nothing like a full-length video from an up-and-coming crusher of a player…thanks to SF YoYos for making it happen.

Micah really wanted to film and edit a full length video but didn’t think it was worth the effort if it’d just end up in YouTube purgatory. We’re big proponents of the ol’ full length so we said we’d upload it if that’d help more people see it. Micah is awesome. Watch his video. Happy Holidays. Also, he was just in the first Scales Collective freshman class. I hope that stays around forever, it’s such a cool idea.

Yoyo used is the Ti Cadence.

First Look – CLYW Akita

December 19, 2018 By Steve Brown

And just barely in time for Christmas delivery, CLYW finally drops the Akita…the long awaited signature model for Mark Mangarin.

The Akita clocks in at about the same width as the Manatee, but with a profile that is classic CLYW organic. Big fat rims for days! The addition of internal steel rim weights that account for 34% of the total weight of the yoyo (22 grams!) mean the Akita is wide, comfy, and has all the power you need to get through anything you can think of.

The Ferdico Fade edition (30 pieces) will be available direct tonight at CLYW.ca, and more colors are coming in January to YoYoExpert. Check out full description and specs from CLYW below!

The Akita is the first signature model for Mark Mangarin, and we knew it had to be amazing.

Mark is your favorite player’s favorite player. His trick construction is always unique and boundary breaking, and his work with the Scales Collective consistently pushes modern technical yoyoing forward in a way that is inspiring and difficult to keep up with. We knew that a signature return top for him had to be incredible, but with his unique style we had to bridge the gap between comfy Caribou-style and raw performance.

So, we did.

The Akita’s fat rims feel amazing in the hand, bringing back memories of the Chief and the Avalanche. They taper sharply enough that they increase the play area tremendously, giving you a full 40 mm of catch zone…perfect for those big body moves and tricky horizontal catches.

The bi-metal rings push a ton of weight to the far outer rim of the return top, and combined with the extreme width of the Akita they make nearly anything possible. Mark is constantly pushing the limits of trick construction, and now he has a return top that can handle anything he can think of.

Each Akita ships with a Fat Kitty String and a limited edition hard enamel pin.

CLYW Akita Specs:

Diameter: 55.10 mm
Width: 48.10 mm
Weight: 64.75 grams
Response: Snow Tires
Bearing: Center Trac™
Artwork: Mike Lundy

Yuya Sato Joins SF YoYos

December 18, 2018 By Steve Brown

Congrats to Yuya Sato on picking up a sponsorship from SF YoYos, and congrats to SF on adding another amazing up-and-comer to their roster.

Yuya Sato entered the #sfcombocontest this summer and no one on the team even had any idea who he was. As of December, Keiran now refers to him as “our president”, Tony sends me #yuyatotheteam almost every day, and the teamchat is named “Sato Fanclub”. I guess things change pretty fast when you post things like this all the time.

He’s pretty new to yoyoing, his progress is unwavering, he has big goals, and everyone involved with SF has post notifications set to “on” for his Instagram account. You should too.

Join the Sato Fanclub with us.

Yoyo used is the Ti Cadence.

Keiran Cooper – 100

December 18, 2018 By Steve Brown

Keiran Cooper gives us the goods in this video…two and a half minutes of pure, perfect tricks and some Sleigh Bells for good measure. Put it on repeat for the rest of the year.

Yoyo used is the SF YoYos Cadence, maybe? There’s a quick flash at the end that says “Cadence Transmission Coming 2019” so he’s probably throwing a proto of that.

First Look – CLYW Metal Yeti

December 18, 2018 By Steve Brown

CLYW is closing out the year with a bang with a limited release of the Metal Yeti, the latest model in the Yeti line. With just a few pieces released to a couple of retailers, this limited pre-release did pretty well considering no one knew it was coming! The full release is scheduled for mid-January, and it will be available worldwide.

Check out CLYW’s release info and full specs for the Metal Yeti below!

We are beyond thrilled to introduce the Metal Yeti.

The Yeti has been our most challenging project ever. Two plastic iterations came and went with varying degrees of success, rife with challenges, and both ended their lifespans early due to production problems that we just couldn’t quite solve. But the shape and the feel were just too. damn. good and we couldn’t give up on it, so we went back to what we do best…precision metal.

The Metal Yeti is a beautiful halfway point between nostalgia and the new new, with a play style that really makes us feel like it’s an instant classic. (Fun fact, the hub stickers are left over from the very first Yeti production run!) Something about this return top is just “perfect Caribou” and none of us can put our prototypes down. We’re so excited for everyone to try these that we even made a lot more than usual to get the price down so that we could make them even more affordable.

 

METAL YETI SPECS:

DIAMETER: 58.6 MM
WIDTH: 45 MM
WEIGHT: 67 GRAMS
BEARING: SIZE C CENTER TRAC™
RESPONSE: SNOW TIRES
SUGGESTED RETAIL: $65 USD

BOX INCLUDES:

ASSEMBLED RETURN TOP
FAT KITTY STRING
YETI STICKER SHEET
LIMITED EDITION HARD ENAMEL PIN
