Nehemiah Peterson’s “Tech Creators” project just released its second video featuring Harrison Lee, Colin Beckford, Paul Dang, Keiran Cooper, and plenty more. Good stuff? Good stuff.
Keiran Cooper – Scenes from PNWR 2017
Keiran Cooper said:
Opting out of competing at this year’s PNWR yielded arguably the most fun I’ve had at a yo-yo competition
and after watching this video, we agree. Looks like PNWR was an absolute blast, and huge thanks to Keiran for putting together such a beautiful love letter to this contest.
Scales Podcast Ep. 5 – Save Deth
The Scales Collective is at it again with another podcast that brings an influential force in the yoyo industry to the front. Seth Peterson talks with Keiran Cooper and Patrick Canny about Save Deth, the first lifestyle brand in the yoyo industry and a huge creative force in the “mid school” period just after the Hyper YoYo boom died out.
Seth Peterson is one of the most influential yo-yo players of all time, but unlike most, it’s for more than just his tricks.
Seth led a very inspiring yo-yo movement called Save Deth, in which he had travelled with Dave Poyzer all over the United States and filmed amazing yo-yo content, whether it be at contests or just in a casual scene. On top of this, Seth’s attention to design and detail in all aspects such as clothing and content is something that lots of people worldwide learned and stemmed off of. To call him an innovator is an understatement; he is a pioneer.

Keiran Cooper – Fried Pachinko
Only Keiran Cooper could make a living room trick dump look this good, right?
Yoyo used is the Recess Vacation.

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!

Spacecamp

Recess Vacation – Since I Left You
The Recess Vacation is finally available! This next-gen remake of the Weekend is a noticeable step forward in design for this young company, and to celebrate the initial launch we’ve got a new video from Recess featuring Keiran Cooper, Daniel Flaherty, CJ Atkinson, Tyler Severance, Andrew Bergen, Joe Wilson, and John Wolfe.
Yoyo used is the Recess Vacation.
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.
Trick Moments ft. Michael Ferdico & Keiran Cooper
Josh Yee dropped a couple of his “Trick Moment” videos, featuring perennial favorites Michael Ferdico and Keiran Cooper, and they’re pretty awesome. In a rare moment of cosmic justice, it would appear that the music for Ferdico’s video actually matches his shirt, which we didn’t think was possible.
Ferdico is one of the most talented unsponsored players out there, super underrated and pretty awesome to hang out with. And Keiran’s spot on the Recess team is damn well deserved both for his tricks and his video work. Really, this is an awesome double feature. Thanks, Josh!
Yoyos used are the C3yoyodesign Teleport (Ferdico) and the Recess Weekend (Cooper).
Keiran Cooper Joins Recess Intl
Recess has been building themselves a hell of a team of fresh young talent, and the latest to be added to the roster is Keiran Cooper! Keiran is a fantastic yoyo player and has really been doing some great video work, so he’s a solid addition to the roster for Recess. Expect to see their video game get upped.
Congrats to Keiran and Recess!
Nehemiah Peterson – Fruition
Nehemiah Peterson ditches all his Illuminati weirdness and gets down to business in this new video, filmed and edited for him by Keiran Cooper. Nehemiah has been a real fixture on the competition scene, picking up a sponsorship from Werrd and making noise with his difficult and imaginative freestyles.
Yoyo used is the Fruiture by Werrd.
Keiran Cooper Presents: Daniel Flaherty
Keiran Cooper has put together a solid showcase video both for himself as a video creator (nice job!) and Daniel Flaherty as a yoyo player (daaaamn dude!). There’s some crazy good yoyo play in here…solid trick construction, smooth execution, and the general look and feel of the whole video is top notch.
Welcome to the next generation!
