Glad to see the recognition of such great influences on yoyoing. Also glad to see some discussion on the injustice. Itās disheartening that this obvious cancer Is allowed to persist and the treatment is so lacking. Thanks for the discussion. Itās hard, but valuable.

They said they are going live ASAP, just finalizing some things.

Great stuff Scales put together and nice yoyos that were donated, like the CLYW Orca 1.5 proto from Harrison Lee and the HSpin Pyro and SPYY Ranchero from Spencer Berry, amazing stuff.
Also canāt forget about Jumario Simmons, 4A (and 1A) fiend with really creative tricks.
Jumario actually has a video podcast called The Toppiest Tier on twitch.tv/eijiken and did a 1-hour talk 13 days ago after the 1st day of riots I believe, which he later took part in Cleveland: Twitch
Also, was Sage, the creator of the Iron Whip in 2000, black? https://archive.sector-y.com/videos/individual_tricks/Iron%20Whip%20-%20SAGE.mpg
Sector Y Single trick video archive: Individual Trick Videos
Sector Y Clip Video Archive (doesnāt have them all, but itās a great list): Clip Videos
Also does anyone have the yoyo-balisong Sage video from 2000 showing Iron Whip for the first time (to Dre - 187)??
