Yoooo… Thanks for wanting to hear my thoughts on them. Definitely planning on Alpha Steel by the end of the month. Wasn’t sure about the Ridgeback because I am pretty sure the most recent run was the last one. But I suppose a yoyo being “retired” hasn’t stopped me before…

Honestly… I really like it in hand. It’s significantly undersized but not ridiculously small. Other throws definitely feel a bit big if I pick them up right after playing it. Love the organic shape - feels really… natural? In terms of both feel and play, I have been pretty impressed. Does feel a little heavy in the hand and on string for the size but it’s not a rock.

60g 45 x 36. I think if it was lighter it’d be a real pain. It’s got enough of a lip for finger spins and a D bearing.

I’m so confused by the Akita Basecamp cans. Is the Akita a Basecamp model? I thought it had nothing to do with the Basecamp collab.

Special Basecamp colorway, “subtle two-tone, slightly heavier blast.” - from IG

To be more specific, the cans were used as packaging for all the throws at the Basecamp party they held at 2019 Worlds. Steve said there were 10 or so Akitas left over from then that were held back for some other plans that never came to fruition.

I made some XMAS string too… Not all that hard!

How did yours come out? Soft enough? Mine are play ok but are a bit stiff and tuff on the hands. I’m curious as to what thread type would make up a soft like kitty string soft.

If I could find the right thread I’m all about making my own!!
