So you have to answer our questions? I’ve got one. When you made the SF PLSTC Unknown, what are the names of the individuals at SF that you consulted with on the project? Joking, but thank you for doing an unknown on a 20 dollar yoyo. I have one coming in a trade and it’ll be my first Unknown. ---

I haven’t lost a yoyo while playing but at Spindoctors yoyo club in Alameda, we would meet by the marina, and countless yoyos were lost to the sea. lol ---

Becoming Trick Innovator of the Year is a huge honor for me because it has been one of my goals in yoyoing for a long time. I have looked up to a lot of the players who have won it in the past like Yuuki Spencer, Jesse Garcia, Paul Escolar, and so on. ---

All I did was practice like crazy and try to be original in my routines incorporating various new elements into each routine in order to stay one step ahead. But It all seems to vary 🙂 ---

If I had to choose a favorite freestyle it might be Takeshis 2018 Worlds. The amount of trick diversity in this freestyle is unmatched.

When I first started yoyoing I was a huge fan of Doc Pop - I still am because he is still making up new and interesting tricks. Since the pandemic started I have noticed a lot of really good Korean players pop up on Instagram! ---

I always wanted to start a brand but I didn’t want to just be another yo-yo manufacturer, so I did something different instead by collaborating with companies I believe in and it’s fun to do fun projects with my friends. And for starting it - you just have to go for it even if you feel you’re not ready you have to just go for it because starting a project is always the hardest part but once you start it starts to build up momentum. ---
