I must say to begin that I’m a code lover. I learned Braille, hand signs spelling, morse code and other codes for fun. I looked closer to the C3 alpha crash and I noticed that there is morse code written on it. It says “alpha dash”. So I was wandering if somebody knew if maybe “alpha dash” was its original name or something. Thanks ---

It’s possible that it’s a translation issue/typo but that’s just my guess… ---

Or they didn’t have enough place to right “crash” because its longer 🙂 ---

Or they don’t know morse code Or it is not supposed to be morse code Or we are supposed to be intrigued Or… [You hit the last note] ---

maybe it is supposed to be “clash” but because of the “crash” the “c” and “l” made a ligature and now look like a “dash” … probably not. ---

Maybe it’s like the Da vinci code and we have to put a black light on the yoyo and it will reveal the truth! I don’t personally own an alpha crash. And anyway hear is the translation of the morse code I read: •- •-•• -••- •••• •- -•• •- ••• •••• A. L. P. H. A. D. A. S. H ---

I didn’t believe you. Therefore I had to get out my Alpha Crash, look up the alphabet in morse code, and translate the code on the yoyo all just to find out that it does say Alpha Crash. Edit: Typo, meant to say that it does say “Alpha Dash.” ---

> [@Zorro](#): > > No offense, but… > > What on earth are you talking about? ??? ??? ??? None taken man. Morse Code is made up of Dots “.” and Dashes “-”. My guess is that C3 was playing off of Clash and Dash rhyming and that there are Dashes in Morse Code. Sort of a strange double pun but those are the things I live for. ---

I know it seems hardcore but I contacted C3 yoyodesign (I’m really curious about why it says “dash”). I’m gonna give news soon as they respond to me.
