Mark Montgomery – What’s Your Setup?

October 18, 2019 By Steve Brown

Today we catch up with Mark Montgomery – trick innovator, graphic designer, philanthropist, and one of the most stylish trick creators in the history of yoyoing.

What are you throwing?

Clear Markmont. Classic. Favorite thing is the weight distribution and comfort of shape

What response are you using?

One Drop response pads – not overly grabby and smooth in play w/o any slipping.

What bearing are you using?

One Drop 10 ball factory lubed. Silent and smooth.

What string are you using?

Markmont. Formulas Draken – stiff, fast and tactile. I can really ‘feel’ what I’m doing because of the texture and weighted feel it has. When it’s hot and sticky outside I use MF Copernicus (Copi) – it’s very bounce, soft to the touch and great against humidity and hand sweat.

Mark Montgomery – Terrarian

March 7, 2016 By Steve Brown

The folks at One Drop released a new promo video for their Terrarian yoyo (a collaboration with Re-Logic, the software company behind the sandbox game Terraria), and this one features yoyo legend and World Champion Mark Montgomery. Good stuff!

We are proud to be in an amazing partnership with independent game studio Re-Logic who develop the open-ended 2D sandbox video game Terraria.

Lead designer and head of Re-Logic, Andrew “Redigit” Spinks, approached us in early 2015 with the idea of implementing our yo-yos into the game and we loved it. Over the next few months we worked with Re-Logic and “uploaded” some of your favorite One Drops into the vast digital landscape of Terraria. You’ll stumble upon models such as the Cascade, Valor, Yelets and much more throughout your journey in the game. As you draw near the end of your adventure, you’ll encounter the Moon Lord, widely known as the “Final Boss”. If you are able to take down this behemoth, you have a chance to receive the ultimate yo-yo in the game, the Terrarian. We decided to “download” the Terrarian and bring it to real life and pull the collaboration full circle.

We worked closely with Andrew and zoned in on his thoughts and ideas for designing the ultimate One Drop. The Terrarian sports a wide wing shaped profile that will never want to miss your string segments or enemies you’ll want to take down in the game! Thanks to a new machining technique, we were able to balance the weight distribution through the wall, boasting a powerful, yet floaty sensation during play. The Projection Profile is featured throughout the entire catch zone, with a subtle bump at the wing transition – it gives your nerve endings a unique feeling after a long critical combo. With Side Effects as the axle system, you have the opportunity to change how the yo-yo feels, plays and look.

MarkMont Classic – User Reviews

August 27, 2014 By Steve Brown

Mark Montgomery should win some kind of award for how much he’s got people talking about his new yoyo without anyone actually seeing it. This promo campaign is starting to remind me of when we used to make flyers for fake bands in high school.

Mark, this yoyo better be AMAZING.

Also, these are the only good yoyo reviews I’ve ever heard. Nice job, Mark.

North East Regional YoYo Contest Official Videos and More!

June 15, 2014 By Ben Gates

All of the official Finals and Sports 1A videos from the North East Regionals (Z-Games) last weekend are now online here: 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A

This year we tried out a new multi-camera filming setup, and despite an exciting variety of equipment issues, the Top 10 of 1A are presented in this exclusive new configuration. This is the first time I’ve ever seen multiple camera angles edited together for an American contest, and these videos turned out pretty awesome.

And here are a few moments aside from the winning routines that are worth checking out:

Air YoYoing Freestyles

Players compete with imaginary yo-yos to win a YoYofficer Aura. With demos by judges Paul Dang and Graeme Steller, and competitors David Kane, Anthony Federici, Gabe Carter-Weidenfeld, and Hudson Wright.

The Blindfolded Legends Sports Ladder

Hosted by Graeme Steller, yo-yoing legends Daniel Dietz, Eric Koloski, Jeff Coons, Mark Montgomery, and Paul Dang perform classic 1A Sport Ladder tricks, without using their eyes!

John Wolfe does awesome 5A juggling, also crazy Rei-Dragon (dual-string 5A) tricks in his 3rd place routine.

And congratulations to Adam Lord for earning the Brett Outchcunis award, in recognition for his efforts to encourage and support the yoyo community. Adam is a Yomega Ambassador and also responsible for organizing the NH State YoYo Contest, which is coming up soon on June 21st.
