Do you guys have any favorite yo-yoers that aren't sponsored?

Well, I don’t think he really pretends to be on clyw. I think he just really likes the brand, (as do tons of throwers like when people wear the shirtsor hats in their vids), and always throws a clyw yoyo in his vids. I take it that he just really loves clyw and what they stand for, as well as their products. (at least that why I hope he does all the anyway… Lol)

Thank you for hitting that nail on the head

[Mikers]

Uh, arent you the kid putting “CLYW Tutorial” on all your videos? If so, that’s the lamest thing ever. There’s no saying you weren’t pretending to be affiliated with them, haha. I’m sure I’ve left a comments like this on one of 'em.
Especially after saying “NOW I’m trying for Sorry yoyos, for now”…

Weak sauce.

[Sanchez202]

It’s sauce you wouldn’t enter in the county fair, because it’s so weak.

Sorry. I had to say that.

Also not trying to feed the fire, but there were quite a few blatant rip offs from CLYW and it’s team members. I’m all for supporting a company you like, but there is definitely a line before actions get a bit unreasonable.

I’m not going to comment on the relative merits or foibles of the use of “CLYW” on his tutorials because I’m diplomatic like that.

But I’ve talked with Austin from time to time and he’s a good guy. I like him. And although I don’t want to “out” him as having feelings, he’s not made of stone and he’s very aware of the criticisms he has received. Let’s just remember that he’s a human being with both mistakes and feelings and go forward from there.

Alex Gallimore is an easy choice. Some that have been sponsored and currently aren’t that I can think of would be Guy Wright, Zammy, and Nate Sutter.

[kadabrium (Draupnisfrœðingr)]

Does Takeshi count?

[andy569]

Has Alex Gallimore ever been offered a sponsorship? He consistently pops up on these types of threads

Really makes me wonder if he’s been offered but just wants to stay unsponsored or waiting for a certain company to offer one to him

[Mikers]

@kadabrium

Er… isn’t Takeshi still with Duncan?
Matsuura is with Turning Point I’m pretty sure.

So no, neither of the Takeshi’s that come to mind immediately count.

I know for a fact that Alex is not a one-company kind of guy. He plays lots of yoyos from many different companies, and I’m sure he’d be happy to be sponsored by any number of them. I hope somebody offers him something some day… it’s hard for me to see such a talented player without additional support that a sponsorship can bring!

Thanks every one for all the mentions, and makin’ me feel good inside I haven’t been offered sponsorship from any yoyo company, an I am no way against sponsorship. I’d really like to be sponsored, and there are quite a few companies that I’d accept sponsorship from. I guess I still have to keep working hard, and doing what I’m doing.

[Sanchez202]

Michael Ferdico, Patrick Canny, and Keiran Cooper are probably the main 3 I can think of. I’m sure there’s more, but I judged wanted to bump this again.

[Raigo]

Drew Barnhart and Alex Gallimore

[yoyoboy224 (major_seventh)]
