Bryan is one of the coolest, most humble, and most creative yoyoers ever. And his minimalist design approach is super inspiring and lends itself really well to classy yoyo engravings.

I reeeeeeally miss this kuntosh!

Also the Diesis he did for CoreCo might be the wildest of the unknown variations:

50.0755° N, 14.4378° E :thinking:

Google Maps says that’s a location in Prague

Looking at Street View, it’s a Catholic church on one side and this building on the other, the National House of Vinohrady.

The Neo-renaissance building - National House of Vinohrady was built in 1894. Together with the Vinohrady Theater and St. Ludmila church it is one of the dominant buildings on Namesti Miru square. Namesti Miru is sqare in the center of Prague, close to Wenceslav Square…

I thought it was stylized 1’s in the letters of U and N, to represent “unknown”. Or at least that is what it looks like.

Oh yeah, good call, but that was kind of a hybrid since it had a full metal center.

They’re all collabs with Bryan. He does the design work for these companies “Unknown” editions. There is a really cool Unknown edition coming out soon, can’t talk about it, but it’s pretty rad!

The Duncan Bassacuda is one of my favorites, kick myself for letting it go :man_facepalming:

Also, Bryan is an amazing yoyoer:
