They won’t be. They were a gift from Paul Escolar, who only made 11 pairs. CLYW got all of them.http://www.yoyonation.com/talk/index.php?topic=53982.0
Yoyo News says it is a cross between a Cascade and an Avalanche…

Why quote yourself?
Sorry. I thought I clicked “modify” but it was “quote”. Fat fingers…

Not clear on what is being “announced”. If there is already an actual product or prototype - why not show it with the announcement? Since they did not, the only assumption I can make is that they are “announcing” an intention to collaborate on …something.
I am not criticizing them for it; but it is hype.
Neither One Drop nor CLYW is in the habit of announcing the “intention” to do something without that thing already being mostly done, so the idea that they would make a big and bold announcement with zero substance is kind of insulting to both companies, IMO.
Chris works fast, design-wise, and the One Drop folks seems to move quick from a production standpoint so what I think is most likely is that Chris came down for PNWR, stopped by the factory, whipped up something awesome from files of one of his yoyos and one of theirs, they all said “YEAH!” ran a couple of protos, and decided to make it happen.
I can absolutely see that happening in a matter of a couple of days with these guys. Yes, that’s totally speculation on my part.
(I’m pretty sure I sound like a total jerk with this post. Not my intention at all, but hey…internets, right?)
In any event, I’m pretty sure the end result will be pretty darn awesome. CLYW is gold, as far as I’m concerned. I have absolute faith in Chris.
Lots of speculation - no facts, specifications or pictures.
I understand your defense of CLYW marketing, but telling me that I am insulting someone based on your speculation about facts that have not been disseminated is just ridiculous. I am speaking only to facts. If you want to imagine a scenario that makes this announcement sensible - that is your business. Do not criticize me for my non-participation in your speculation.
Funny thing is that while Steve has his moments he knows these people and the industry quite well. So much so that his “speculation” ended up being spot on. He almost recounted word for word what the guys at One Drop and CLYW actually did.
Story as told by David at One Drop
Now, I know I don’t have the specs yet but something tells me this is a little more that just “speculation”.

We can’t post specs or hard facts because we are in the process of making things. Kind of silly to criticize us for that.
First parts are coming off the machine now. Once we have something we can stand behind we will post more info.
We’re having a blast hanging out, this is fun!
when will it be for sale? And for how much?
LONG RUN!!! WOW I can not wait for this yoyo!!!
2013 is shaping up to be an all out kick but yoyo year!!!
