Recess just released two videos back-to-back, and there is a TON of great stuff here for you to unpack.

The videos are embedded below, but it’s definitely worth heading over to their website to check out the full scoop on where they filmed and why. The Cloisters are a pretty inspired shooting location and worth reading up on.

Yoyos used are the Recess Charm and Joyride.

Andrew Bergen – Joyride

November 7, 2017 By Steve Brown

Check out some footage from Andrew Bergen, shot at the 2017 World YoYo Contest in Iceland. Players always spend a fair bit of time just milling around outside of whatever venue a contest is in, so Recess took the opportunity to film Bergy just hanging out and throwing tricks because let’s face it…most players are at their best when they are just knocking off tricks for fun. Bergy made a hell of a showing on stage at this year’s contest, but it’s always great to see him just kicking back and working out ideas.

Yoyo used is the Recess Joyride.

Scales Podcast – Japan Minisode & Episode 4

February 15, 2017 By Steve Brown

Scales Podcast

The Scales Collective is back with two more episodes of their podcast…a mini episode discussing the first two events of the 2017 Japan YoYo League, and an interview with…well, with me. Neat.

2017 has already proven to be one of the most competitive years of yo-yo of all time, and Japan is at the forefront of it. Scales members Patrick Canny, Colin Beckford, and Keiran Cooper discuss the first two contests of the 2017 Japan Yo-yo League – East Japan A Block and Central Japan – and analyze some of their favorite freestyles from each, as well as predictions for what the rest of the year will show for yo-yo in Japan. 

Steve Brown is one of the most important yo-yo players of all time – from being an inventor of a world-renowned division, a National Master, yo-yo news website leader, contest organizer and more, it is safe to say that his impact on the community has been something worth noting. In this episode of the Scales Podcast, member Andrew Bergen interviews Steve on some topics such as running the 2016 World YoYo Competition, his insight on people who are interested in running competitions, and more. Listen to this episode and gain some knowledge from one of the industry’s best! Thank you to our sponsors: YoYoExpert, Caribou Lodge, and Recess International!

Scales Podcast – Episode 2 & 3

January 31, 2017 By Steve Brown

Scales Podcast

The Scales Podcast is quickly shaping up to be a great resource for yoyo players to dig deeper into the intricacies of this glorious little subculture we’ve created for ourselves. Check out two new episodes!

In episode 2 of the Scales Podcast, team members Andrew Bergen and Mark Mangarin interview one of the industry’s most intelligent minds in the realm of social media, team management, and design; Chris Mikulin! Some topics that are mentioned in this feature are future plans for Caribou Lodge, sub-brands of CLYW such as Heaven Sent and Pool Party, Basecamp, and more!

For new players, sponsorship can be seen as one of the most daunting and confusing aspects of yo-yo. Scales team members Andrew Bergen and Mark Mangarin reflect upon their experiences as sponsored players, talk about what they feel as though the true definition of being sponsored is, as well as even give prime examples of great representatives of this generation. Give Episode 3 of the podcast a listen in order to enhance your perspective of what being sponsored really means! Thank you to our sponsors: YoYoExpert, Caribou Lodge, and Recess International!
