Thank you Jordan.
I am ultimately sad I forgot to film b-roll, but also film myself or ask someone to film me at DXL so I had to relegate to footage in my backyard

@suspense Just saw the video you posted of you hand siliconing the Asoraās. Iām curious, when they come out for sale will they be hand siliconed? And if someone wanted to put response pads in, are there ones that are an ideal fit?
This yoyo is one of my most anticipated drops, I canāt wait!

I just finished siliconing all of the yoyos, so yeah, all of them are going to come hand siliconed and any future yoyos will likely follow suit.
I wonāt get into it here, but I generally hate pads. I yank them out immediately and put silicone in any yoyo I plan to keep, and Iāve been doing that since I started modern yoyoing. The issue is, every yoyo design uses slim pads and thatās not deep enough for silicone to last.
One Dropās flow grooves probably fit fine, standard pads fit but theyāre heavily recessed.

Ok gotcha, good to know! Iāve been meaning to take the plunge and just start siliconing my yoyos, maybe this will be the push I need. Iād imagine CLYW Snow Tires may work as well since theyāre so thick.

Only 19mm will work, 21mm snow tires will work on v01 though.
I think its worth the effort (minimal tbh) to silicone yoyos. I really donāt think yo-yoās have much maintenance if any, and doing a lil cleaning/silicone job once every couple months feels pretty good tbh so I hope I can convince more people to silicone through buying Asora.
Thank you dude. Couldnāt have made it without all the players, thanks for letting me film you

Thatās all good! I am trying to promote or showcase every and all levels / types of yoyo to share that joy. Anyone that isnāt camera shy is more than welcomed. I personally am not a fan of being in front of the camera, so it works out for me if people like being in front of it.

Made a lil blog post going over the packaging.
Iām basically on track for them to be ready, I just donāt know if I will make it to worlds right now.
Without going into too much detail and boring you. I am my fatherās caretaker, and since jan his health has been bad. Multiple trips to the ER, Hospital and tons of appointments this year.
His health took another nose dive recently to where he can no longer care for himself at all. I donāt know if I can leave for an extended period of time right now unless heās in some sort of care facility and I frankly ā¦ donāt know how that works when heās fully conscious but his body doesnāt work, and likely does not want to go to one. My siblings were going to check in on him and take him to appointments while I was gone, but they do not have the time to care for him due to their jobs.
The plan was to bring what I could carry to worlds (10-20) and just have a small pre-sale for friends or people who wanna pick one up from me. Then I was gonna come back from worlds and prep the rest for a drop sometime in August.
So those 10-20 are ādoneā and ready to go if I do make it to worlds. If I donāt, weāre just gonna have a normal drop date sometime in aug or sept depending on how my personal life is going.

Thanks, Iām personally doing really good at the moment. Working on stuff for dreamcraft has helped me keep busy during these somewhat mentally stressful times, almost like meditation.
I donāt mean to dump news on people like that, in fact I would rather keep my personal life private to avoid drama or burdening others. But I realize that my personal life and dreamcraft are forever intertwined and Iād like to always be transparent about whatās going on.

I agree, I think part of it is that I feel like the yoyo community is a distant family spread out across the world. Iāve truly met the most wonderful people through this community. Thank you all
