Mk1 Yoyos - Official News


Laze, coming soon

This is an experimental colorway, kind of fragile but very cool looking. It’s painted with nitro-oil paint. It’s not very good for walking the dog, as it can chip easily, and it’s also pretty bad for grinds. I hope some people like it anyhow!

Wait! Another yoyo is coming even sooner!

This is my collaboration with yoyofriends, the Heron. It’s a tri-material fingerspin lock-in design that has a good mix of width, power, comfort, and a cool polycarbonate rim.

We’re doing a small release on our stores first (pink/blue fade for mk1, and the rest for yoyofriends). Full release will be at retailers in the new year.

Looks sweet! I’ve always loved the Great Blue Herons that would wade and fly by my home. I may need one of these!

I like polycarbonate better than delrin because of things like this - when it has a nice frosted surface finish it picks up diffuse colors from around it. It’s also very good at picking up environmental light.

It almost appears to glow!

A fade from sand, to shallow water, to deep water.


Whale Shark

Inspired by a beautiful creature.


Cow Tools

A continuation of the colorway we did on the Path.


Tie Dye

Is this the most overdone acid wash colorway in yoyo?


Shiny

It’s raw.

Would you believe it? Another GT. Twice as much GT.

I learned both of these tricks, despite initial confusion about what was going on. So you - yes, YOU - should learn this trick also.

Mk1 News Update

Cen Cal Classic Yo-Yo Championship

Me & @caralisc will be at Home - CenCal Classic Yo-Yo Championship this weekend. I’ll be vending as is my style, and hopefully (fingers crossed) I’ll have a brand new yoyo available. See below for a sneak peek.

Penumbra

Factory photo:

This is the 55mm wide bimetal that I planned several years ago, and then sat on it while competition yoyos reached and then eclipsed it in width. I am very wise.

The prototypes played lovely and there’s 5 colorways to choose from. I’ll be sharing them after I get the yoyo in the mail.

A follow up to the Dynames

This new yoyo is done with anodizing and is being assembled. It’s much more aggressively styled than the Penumbra, and thinner (49.2mm)

The One Ring

It’s in the process. Sorry about the delay on a restock.

Plasm v2

See above. I know you want more of these but I need to get the prototypes for the updated version first.

What do you want to see?

Let me know if you have any other questions or if there’s a different yoyo you want to hear about!
