So you have to answer our questions?

Iā€™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 itā€™ll be my first Unknown.

I havenā€™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.

Japan Technologyā€™s owner and founder Atsushi asked me directly. A longer answer to this question was posted a couple of post back if you want the full answer.

I wonder if the question is favorite freestyle of all time (not one of your own)? Curious on answer there too!

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 :slight_smile:

The owners of SF areā€¦:person_shrugging: we did all transactions by carrier pigeon.

But im glad you like the PLSTC there is also a couple JT X UN X SG - Spin Gadgets that are only 12.99 on YYE

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

While you mentioned you like the freestyle by Takeshi (I believe a lot of us do as well!). How do you like the Mustang?

Who was your inspiration back in the day to start throwing, and which up and coming yoyoer do you think is gonna be big

I really like the Mustang just like all of Turning Point yoyos they are top tier. The mustang was a big inspiration for TRUENO.

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!

What sparked your interest in making UN and how did you go about starting it?

I always wanted to start a brand but I didnā€™t want to just be another yo-yo manufacturer, so I did something different instead by collaborating with companies I believe in and itā€™s fun to do fun projects with my friends.

And for starting it - you just have to go for it even if you feel youā€™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.
