@MarkD @anon5341354, I’ve been enjoying playing with my RBC today. I know that Glen has decided to take a break from making yo-yos aaaaaand this might be off brand for Kyle (@Chainsawctopus), buuuut have you guys considered making an aluminum KNack as a follow up to the RBC? I know that you prototyped an open cup harbinger that didn’t end up going further, but I think that a hollow KNack would be pretty neat and popular. My other unsolicited suggestions include making it a bit larger than the RBC, trying for a weight around 52-54g perhaps, and also maybe including a MR85-sized bearing blank for true fixed axle play (there, that might tickle Kyle’s fancy!) - I’d actually also be interested in a bearing blank for the RBC! Anywho, hope you guys are having a nice weekend! ---

@MarkD , from reading the description, it sounds like the blast on the black RBC is extra nice. Any details on what ya’ll did different with that one? ---

I didn’t ask for a special blast, it it’s more matte than the rest, less shiny, and feels really cool. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/5/3/e53978fea64dcf452f800d4a28ee6624a213f336.jpeg) ---

What is the obsession with placing yoyos on hard, scratchy surfaces that could very easily damage the finish? I mean, they’re cool photos, but it doesn’t seem worth the risk to me. ---

I’m sure steps were taken and some sort of unseen barrier exists between the yoyo and scratchy thing. As long as mine is freshly unscathed I’m fine with it. ---

One of my favorite people to chat with online (about yoyos) decided to join the Mk1 team after I asked him if he wanted to join. You’ve _probably_ heard of national yoyo master Nathan Crissey. [https://mk1yoyos.com/2022/08/nathan-crissey-joins-mk1-yoyos/](https://mk1yoyos.com/2022/08/nathan-crissey-joins-mk1-yoyos/) His favorite Mk1 model is the Exia. He already had a bunch when he joined, and I sent him more, of course! He’s actually been on the team for a bit, but planning out an announcement sometimes takes a while, and getting a video together when you have 2 kids is tricky. Please enjoy these pre-recorded entertainment videos!
