Edition: Aspen Undergoing precision machining!

I believe he’s credited with designing the various Boost yoyos for YYF – I think all of them? Boost, Boost 2.0, Boost Afterburner and Kinetic Boost (I have this … weirdly light). He definitely designed the Boost Squared (literally the square one) and the titanium Inertial Boost, both of which I believe he released on his own, not through YYF.

Thanks. I wondered about the Boosts (including that square one). But also wondered if he was behind a bunch of different brands as a freelance designer like Patrick Dressel or Jeffrey Pang are. Makes me want to check out a Boost.

Now for the folks who might want some additional context to what “Team Edition” might be please check below:


What is Edition Team:

Heavily inspired by groups like YYF’s Bombsquad, Defynit, and the HIGH RECIEPT.s crew. Edition Team is a project to bring players from different teams, backgrounds and mindsets to come together under one roof.

By being admitted to the team, these players represent not only a high level of skill, but also a general willingness to be outgoing individuals who strive for the betterment of the yoyo community and I am truly honored to give them a warm welcome.

What yoyos are they using:

One important aspect of this team is that it’s based in the players comfort zone. No hard restrictions preventing them from using their favorite yoyo due to company promotional needs, and no pressure to sell products.

So what’s the point:

For Edition, aspects like diversifying content creation, new opinions, additional high quality content, as well as helping folks collaborate in a neutral space helps, in our eyes, grow yoyoing further. This means players are not required to leave their teams or forfeit other sponsorship obligations, if anything they are welcome to join as it helps us continue to support multiple brands and further the collaborative nature Edition was built on.

Nice Rims oh so nice Rims on that one!

We’re thrilled to announce the latest addition to our Edition projects - with the help of Jordan Blofeld from OP Yoyos. Together, we’ve created a more competitive-focused design that builds on the beloved features of our previous Reflection release.

In response to customer feedback, we’ve increased the ring weight from 14.97 to 16.3g per ring for a more powerful spin. We’ve also made some key adjustments to the diameter and width, reducing them by 1mm each to counterbalance any unwieldiness. With these updates, we were able to drop the weight by 1 gram and introduce a nipple-styled hub to push the weight bias into a more aggressive direction.

Since some of you also expressed concern about the short axle on the Reflection, the new upcoming project will feature a 12mm axle.

specs:
Diameter: 55mm
Width: 46 mm
weight: 66g

Super thankful for all the folks who jumped in yesterday! We have 4 slots left before we can hit that “order” button!

Howdy Hey! I hope everyone had a solid Easter for those who celebrate and a wonderful weekend for everyone else.

I have received an additional quote from FPM which would allow us to open up the run to a full 15 pieces. This just means that the 3 yoyos which would have been allocated for the folks involved would not impact the total run count.

If people are interested in this option I will open up the run to the 18 total, 15 for others, 3 for those involved. Otherwise we have 3 more left to go before the order goes in for the 15 total run.

Edit: This was an idea, however there wasn’t that much interest in doing it so I have decided to maintain the original 15 count.

An update for those following along:
D2 project is on its way from the factory!

Since there are only 15 pieces of these, I will test, tune and ship these out the same day if not the morning after (if they come in late like last time).
