Oooh! Can’t wait to watch this one! Thanks, Doc.
I used to work with Mark back a handful of years ago. He gave us a sweet yo-yo demo prior to a presentation! Everyone was in awe. :yo-yo:

and Werrd is online here [https://werrd.com/](https://werrd.com/) (but I don’t think they’ve rolled out their new site design yet)

If anyone’s interested in some of tricks Mark showed from the interview, I found an old [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w-ulsw8Slo) post from him.
Was trying to work out the one starting with the wrist mount.
