Glad you picked that colorway. As you know I came close to selling mine, but I couldn’t bring myself to.
The colorway is incredible, and while it’s not in my typical spec wheelhouse, its uniqueness compared to the rest of my collection is refreshing when I get around to throwing it. It lacks a bit of power in comparison to some other bimetals I’ve used, but it’s really fun to throw around, and is very fast.
It is definitely a lot bigger than the OG Edge. It’s also a lot lighter and floatier. I’d say that it’s kind of like if you were to take a B’Edge and a M’Edge and merge them together. It has the powerful, zippy feeling hat the B’Edge has with the fun and floatiness of the M’Edge while still having a unique feel. And don’t let the larger diameter detour you away from getting this. Sure, it might take some getting used to, but overall I actually found the larger diameter to be really helpful with more risky tricks. Overall, the Edge Ultimatum is something you really don’t want to miss out on.
These two from @Glenacius_K, and a Fat Tire are the last of 2019 for me:
The Bonsai is really cool. I may still like my fixed axle version better, but I’m still getting to know it.
I think the Hickory Ballsy is destined to be my all time favorite fixie!
Just look at the figuring on the face. Looks like a painting that should be called “Hickory Mountain”. The backside of the mountain is on the other half, too. So amazing how Glen did that!
I don’t even know how many wonderful yoyos I’ve bought from Glen this year.
I did notice, but didn’t get that it was for the bearing version. Makes sense, and I do appreciate it! I like it responsive too, but it does really shine with that full C bearing.
The “Finger Bow” allows the player to instantly switch between finger style (pizzicato), and bowing (arco) with a flick of a finger. The bow is 10 3/8” long, and made of lightweight and resonate poplar wood. It is not intended to replace a traditional longer bow but to be a new tool for creative expression.
Actually it´s more for Upright Bass players, as we do more ¨pluckin´¨. It´s also used by drummers to get eerie sounds by bowing the edges of cymbals. There are actually 3 bows in the pic, including a full size French and full sized German bow.
USPS is so trash. Sent three packages out on the 13th, two of them just arrived today. One is still in no mans land. And my TiWA hasn’t had any tracking updates after leaving Arizona except “in transit arriving late.”
This time of the year is rough man. Especially depending on distribution centers, they can get so overwhelmed that packages sit there for a day or two before moving again. I just went to my local PO a few days ago to ship a yoyo. My mistake not going earlier in the day. I went at around noon. I waited in line for 40 minutes
