Matthew Giroux join One Drop Team

February 17, 2016 By Johnny Le

Matthew Giroux

One Drop has just announced their recent pick up of Matthew Giroux, a Massachusetts’ native, beer connoisseur, and damn good burger cook.

Check out One Drop’s official announcement below.

Matthew Giroux has been a long time supporter of our cause and we are honored to have him aboard! As a native of Western Massachusetts, Matthew is well loved by the northeast yo-yo scene. A regular on sport master podiums and at craft breweries, Matthew loves his beers hoppy, and his yo-yos purple and green. With roughly over 5 years of experience, Forum eXpert status at YoYoExpert, and deity status behind a grill…Matthew is the man you’ll want on your side for a great dining experience and throw session. We’re happy to have you on the team Matt!

I had the pleasure of getting in touch with Matthew and this is what he had to say about his recent sponsorship!

I would like to take a moment to thank David and Shawn and everyone else at One Drop for the honor of becoming  sponsored.  The One Drop team has always carried themselves with great character and enthusiasm for this sport. I am proud now to be a part of that!! From my beginnings of modern yoyoing, One Drop Yoyo’s have always been my main throws for both fun and competition. Thanks again to One Drop for making this happen.

YoYo Drop – OneDrop Terrarian

November 7, 2015 By Johnny Le

OD terrarian

Earlier this year the guys at OneDrop collaborated with Re-Logic to bring OneDrop yoyos to the game Terraria. Now the collaboration has gone full circle with OneDrop “downloading” the Terrarian. OneDrop has a great backstory on how the collaboration came about.

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.

The initial release of colorways are based on different “Biomes” you’ll find yourself exploring during your campaign in Terraria. Get lost in “Crimson” and take down a few Crimeras, or even do a little mining while you’re taking a stroll through “Surface Grass”. You’re truly the one creating the story.

Suit up and game on!

Terrarian is set to release to November 20th, just in time for the holiday season.

Terrarian Specs:

Base Weight: 63.7 grams
Shipping Weight: 66.9 grams (with Aluminium Spike Side Effects)
Width: 46.7 mm

JT Nickel – Shuppet Donk Tutorial

February 5, 2014 By Steve Brown

Aaron Davis stays behind the camera for this week’s tutorial and let’s JT Nickel have his way with us. This week’s trick, Shuppet Donk, is really cool and pretty difficult. I’m also nearly positive it’s named after a failed Muppet concept.

Yoyo used is the OneDrop Valor.

YoYo Drop – OneDrop Valor

January 18, 2014 By Steve Brown

OneDrop Valor YoYo

 

OneDrop has finally released full production photos and specs of their newest signature model yoyo, the Valor for Hungarian team member Vilmos Zoltan Kiss. The first release will be January 19th, 7:00 pm (GMT+2) at www.yoyoraven.com, with the rest of the world getting their supply shortly after.

The Valor was designed very much as a collaborative effort with Vilmos, with a lot of input and specific design elements (such as the triple grooves in the catch zone and in the hub) being dictated by Vilmos himself…so if you’re a fan of his play and style, you won’t want to pass this up!

OneDrop Valor Specs:

Weight: 66 grams
Width: 43 mm
Diameter: 56.5 mm
Response: Flow Groove
Gap Width: 4.45 mm
Bearing Size: Large (C) stainless steel (One Drop 10 Ball Bearing)
Aluminum: 7075

Ryosuke Kawamura Presents: Remu Egura

January 9, 2014 By Steve Brown

OneDrop’s Ryosuke Kawamura features another up-and-coming Japanese player in this new video. Remu Egura has the beginnings of a nice style of trick creation…he has some interesting construction ideas and once he gains some more confidence and experience, he could have the makings of a great player.

TYYT – Heko Obi by Tsukasa Takatsu

January 9, 2014 By Steve Brown

Another Terra YoYo Tutorial from the folks at St. Petersburg YoYo School, this one featuring OneDrop’s Tsukasa Takatsu. This series is great…between these and the Cabin Tutorials from CLYW (and three years of 365 videos, shameless plug), seems like players have no shortage of single-serving tricks to work on.
