Really almost everything. But one thing bugged me: I did not have a 2A yo-yo in my lineup. As a passionate 2A player, this just felt wrong, all the time. And it’s not that we didn’t try. I had a few different samples machined, even came up with a way to machine starbursts, since investing ~15,000 USD in a mold and the first run of yo-yos would not be feasible as a smaller brand. None of the samples played the way I wanted it. ![Sunrise-Yellow-1_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/4/ac45cf20296954752bdf8e4d425f9a9c2701617e.jpeg) ![Sunrise-Yellow-2_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/3/7/937dbc273073e14b4169b4f78dad5deaba2f594c.jpeg) Sometimes life can consist of funny coincidences though… When I sat at breakfast during Worlds 2018 with Ben McPhee, I got an e-mail from my long-time YoYoJam friend, mentor, and fellow Sunset-Signature-Partner Bill de Boisblanc. He had hand-machined a few spacers that would fit the YoYoJam Sunset sized bearings into a Loop720 and suggested I try to make them. ![Sunrise-Extra2_1024x1024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/d/d/0dd0a7a1c1d265820d35892178e9287a34a1368e.jpeg) Ben thought the idea was worth picking up. Fast forward a year later, a few prototypes, a lot of help from Hans and I can proudly present to you: The SUNRiSE! SUNRiSE is based on the YoYoFactory Loop 720’s shape with custom YYJ-sized bearing and spacers. The play is super controllable and slightly bouncy at the end of the string. It plays much faster than you’d expect and has a excellent spin, long enough for any combo I can think of.

I’ve been really wanting a solid cherry red looper 🍒 - the translucent plastic is cool - but I love how orange 720s look like mini basketballs when in action … Wish I could get that same effect but with bright red instead 😒 ---

This translucent yellow is my favorite color for a plastic so I lucked out. Probably going to snag 720s at some point to compare as well. Just not feeling my Initiators right now but I love looping. ---
