Goodbye Collin

By

Collin Ellingson is heading off on a 2-year mission trip, which means the world gets more Collin than usual and we get much less. Luckily, we get to send him off with this lovely video. Can’t wait too see the sequel. Have fun, Collin!

From SF:

Almost two years ago exactly, we gave Collin a yoyo and a sticky note at PNWR that said “Welcome to the team.” He was one of the very first people Paul Harness told us he’d like to have as a teammate when we were a new brand… and that was such a great suggestion. In those two years he’s grown as a player even more than we have as a brand, obtained the camera that filmed Static, helped produce some awesome videos (worlds team video!!!), bickered with Alec a lot, spread hophopgeetee around the globe, made Keiran kick him from the team chat at least 60 times, and even made a goofy yoyo with us. Now- he’s about to take off for a couple years. He’ll be back with two years of trickmaking in isolation under his belt. Sequel video in 2022. Hold us to it.

I do not understand Keiran’s outfit, but that trick is fantastic.

Keiran Cooper – What’s Your Setup?

By

What’s Your Setup? is a new feature for YoYoNews where we ask your favorite players about what they’re throwing with. Today we catch up with Keiran Cooper – sponsored player for SF YoYos, design nerd, and all-around nice guy.

What are you throwing?

I’ve been using a modified version of the Cadence ES recently. I wanted to mess around with the functional benefits of laser engraving to see if we could create a different weight distribution without having to change the design itself. It worked, and the yo-yo plays great.

What response are you using?

I don’t really have a preference in response pads. In 2017, I bought a couple hundred of these pink pads with a gift certificate I won. They seem to do the job.

What bearing are you using?

I don’t really use any specific bearings. I have an assorted collection of concave, CT, and flat bearings that I rotate through. When a bearing of mine dies, I just throw in whatever bearing spins well enough. I also for whatever reason tend to not perform any maintenance on my bearings beyond using a little bit of YYJ thin lube here and there.

What string are you using?

I’m currently rotating between Zipline’s KC24 and PH22 blends. Both differ in terms of thread count but feel pretty similar in use. Each string lasts me up to three days of heavy use and a week of casual use.

PLSTC ft. Leonid Nemchik

By

The new plastic release from SF YoYos, called simply “PLSTC”, is inspiring a ton of creativity among players who are thrilled to finally have a true beater from SF, who has quickly become a powerhouse in the yoyo community.

Leonid Nemchik is the latest to get stoked on this yoyo, and watching what he can do with it…well, we’re pretty stoked too.

Second Family – SF YoYos WYYC 2019 Team Video

By

I see Remy and I see Remy’s dad so I don’t think this is a “second family” I think that Remy just has a crapload of siblings. I will fight anyone who disagrees. #SFYoyos

Basecamp Pariah

By

One of the biggest hits of the new Basecamp lineup is the Pariah, a collaboration between SF YoYos and CLYW that combines elements of the Akita (CLYW signature model of Mark Mangarin) and Cadence (SF signature model of Kieran Cooper). So what better way to promote it than to smash Mark’s face onto Keiran and vice-versa and make everyone super uncomfortable?

First release of the Pariah was at the 2019 World YoYo Contest, but more will be available soon. Check out full specs below.

Basecamp Pariah (SF x CLYW) Specs:

Diameter: 55.3 mm
Width: 45.5 mm
Weight: 65 grams
Response: Snow Tires
Bearing: Centering Size C

SF YoYos PLSTC Specs:

Diameter: 56mm

Matyáš Držmíšek Joins SF

By

Congrats to SF on picking up Matyáš Držmíšek, and congrats to Matyáš on the new sponsorship!

Matyáš is one of the best up and coming players in the Czech Republic/probably the world and Tony is his biggest fan. He was probably more excited to offer him a team spot in person than Matyáš was to get on the team. They made this ridiculously adorable video with the moment, the hug, and the Christmas Day unboxing vibes. Excited to see him continue to create dense and visually appealing tricks for 1000 more years.

Angelo Aguirre – BET

By

Angelo Aguirre is pure joy to watch, and this new video combines his amazing skill with hand-drawn animation from Josef Chung. Is this the best thing we’ve seen today? Yes. Yes it is.

Dario Krakowski Joins SF YoYos

By

German National Champion Dario Krakowski is the latest addition to the SF YoYos team, which is taking over the world like a Hulk full of White Walkers. (Did I pop culture that right? #hashtag). Congrats to Dario on the sponsorship and SF on another great pickup!

Remy Baskin Joins SF

By

Big congrats to Remy Baskin on joining the SF YoYos team! PNWR was his first official outing for the company, and it was great to see him on stage being awesome with a new sponsor. Congrats to SF on a great pickup, and to Remy on a sweet new sponsor!

Jared Marcus – Double Dub

By

Jared Marcus has some of the smoothest 1A out there right now. Check out this short clip filmed just after Texas States 2019, where he won both the 1A (video) and Open divisions.

Micah Wingell – Scales Freshman

By

Nothing like a full-length video from an up-and-coming crusher of a player…thanks to SF YoYos for making it happen.

Micah really wanted to film and edit a full length video but didn’t think it was worth the effort if it’d just end up in YouTube purgatory. We’re big proponents of the ol’ full length so we said we’d upload it if that’d help more people see it. Micah is awesome. Watch his video. Happy Holidays. Also, he was just in the first Scales Collective freshman class. I hope that stays around forever, it’s such a cool idea.

Yuya Sato Joins SF YoYos

By

Congrats to Yuya Sato on picking up a sponsorship from SF YoYos, and congrats to SF on adding another amazing up-and-comer to their roster.

Yuya Sato entered the #sfcombocontest this summer and no one on the team even had any idea who he was. As of December, Keiran now refers to him as “our president”, Tony sends me #yuyatotheteam almost every day, and the teamchat is named “Sato Fanclub”. I guess things change pretty fast when you post things like this all the time.

He’s pretty new to yoyoing, his progress is unwavering, he has big goals, and everyone involved with SF has post notifications set to “on” for his Instagram account. You should too.

Join the Sato Fanclub with us.

Yoyo used is the Ti Cadence.
