Pretty amazing to see a quadruple team announcement from yoyoing.ru! Enjoy some really good yoyoing from Leonid Nemchik, Lazar Medvedev, Sergey Bukanov, and Levon Chatian.

June 6th is known across the world as International Yo-Yo Day, but tonight we have something even more precious to celebrate. Four new names are announced to join the team we value the most, marking the biggest yoyoing.ru expansion in the last decade. Through the years we witnessed these players becoming the strongest representatives of modern Russian yo-yo scene; we were proud to see them growing into National champions, developing their own styles and mastering the play – and wish them to become a part of something bigger. Tonight four of our closest friends became teammates we are eager to share the future with. We highly recommend watching this in 4K – and don’t forget to drop us a like, comment this video and subscribe for more videos, that helps us a lot!

Yo-yos used in order of appearance: Charm by Recess Intl., Chief by CLYW, Benchmark H 2016 by One Drop YoYos, and Cadence by SFYOYOS. String used is Kitty String.

One Drop To Release Anti-Yo Küntosh

By

26583267330_cafeb15d1f_z

It’s finally happening!

Towards the end of Anti-Yo, Sonny designed a yoyo that was his crowning achievement for the company. It was square and boxy and big and it looked unlikely but everyone who tried the prototype agreed: it was the best Anti-Yo ever. So, of course, it never got made. Jake Bullock has one. He told me it was a perfect 5A yoyo. Sonny told me that’s why he wanted something bigger. I got misty-eyed about that.

For years only 10 of them have been floating around. (I have one. It’s one of my most treasured possessions.) The few players that had one continued to run their mouths about how perfect it was and pretty regularly say things to Sonny like “dude, I’m not joking, I will pay for the run to get these made”. A prototype sold on eBay for $700 a couple of months ago. We never gave up, but we all suspected that the Küntosh would never quite see the light of day.

AND NOW HOLY CRAP SONNY IS MAKING THEM WITH ONE DROP AND THEY LOOK AMAZING!

I talked to Sonny yesterday and confirmed: this is the original, unchanged design. This is the Küntosh, exactly as it would have been released originally by Anti-Yo (although, knowing those guys, if they released it themselves it would have come with a counterweight made from the crushed rear panel of an actual Lamborghini Countach or something insane like that).  Available sometime this month (!!!) from retailers far and wide, the Küntosh starts at $85 for solids and will be the finest thing you own. And if you don’t like it, I’ll take it because I’m going stockpile these, just in case. Old habits, you know.

One Drop Küntosh by Sonny Patrick Specs:

Weight: 66.3 grams (with aluminium Flat Cap Side Effects)
Width: 45.6 mm
Diameter: 56.9 mm
Response: One Drop Flow Groove
Gap Width: 4.32 mm
Bearing Size: One Drop 10 Ball Bearing (Size C)
Finish: Pyramatte™
Axle System: Side Effects™
