Kendamas? Sounds like theyāre just going with whatās popular, but they are a company, so I donāt blame them for trying to make money by making something that will roll in the cash. Caribou Lodge Spintop Works? Now that would be something I would spend money on!
They need to make THAT happen, if anything. If CLYW makes their āreturn topsā, I would put regular tops in priorities before kendamas.
Plus, I wouldnāt mind seeing those cool colorways on a spin top. XD
Jerrod and SaltySalvador for the win. Come on guys, READ the article before throwing out criticisms. Itās awesome that the company is willing to have fun and put out a little side project.
Itās not for me (if I get a kendama at all, Iām going to get one with a tacky finish!) but I donāt see anything wrong with this.
Iām getting one hopefully,I think itās a good idea to expand their horizon other than return tops and apparel,and CLYW spintops would most likely be a hit too if that were to happen. See,look at the positives hereā¦Caribou Loves Your Words (or wallets)
I read the article on yoyoskills, and then posted. It is so ridiculous to see CLYWās pickaxes, and immediately decide that you need that Kendama because of it. No amount of CLYWās interest in Kendamas will make that little logo an amazing piece of craftsmanship.
However, if they make a NEW coating, thatās a different story. Innovation should receive appropriate profits. Replacing Kendama USAās (or whoever is producing their Kendamas) logo with theirās does not qualify as innovation in my book.
If any of you havenāt seen the CLYW members in person, then you wonāt know that those guys LOVE kendama. They get in little trick circles and go for hours sharing and doing tricks. Chris did this as a fun project for those of the team, and for fun as the yoyo community are loving kendama right now. Its not a money making scheme, or a fake attempt at being innovational. Its a fun side project, which it seems some are failing to understand.
I have a small collection of 5 kendamas so far. I really only play with one or 2 of them.
The only reason I want that CLYW kendama is to sit on my windowsill and look pretty.
I would definitely order one of these, but Iām assuming shipping is gonna be ridonculous. I recently ordered my first kendama from steeze kendamas, man these things are a blast! I kind of wish I had known yye was going to release some, then I would have probably bought one from them.
Lots of interesting comments from people who seem to be really ticked off that Chris would make a small batch of kendamas for fun to mostly give away to his team. I can see how that would irritate peopleā¦someone doing something cool for his friends.
But seriouslyā¦
Couldnāt have paid that much attention, because the article was on YoYoNews.
