Over at Yo-Yo Guy.com it looks like they are stocking the G-Spin by Active People. I posted about the G-spin about a year ago here. It will be interested to see AP’s step into Yo-Yo Jam’s metal rim market will have repercussions? Or has YYJ come to terns with the loopholes in their patent?

Ok, not in the flesh, but his art will be there. His first US show “Vida Apaixonada” will be running from May 17th through June 14th in Chelsea NY.

You saw the first glimpse of the Yo-Yo Jam Axiom with this yoyo2 post. Now the production pictures have been released.

Weight: 63 grams
Width: 40.8 mm (1.61″)
Diameter: 50.5 mm (1.99″)

Around $85. Silicone O rings are slightly recessed (o rings are not recessed in the picture). Are we supposed to take this yo-yo as an axiom? I’m a big fan of story and purpose behind yo-yo graphics and names. But if we are supposed to take this as an axiom of metal yo-yos, that seems a little presumptuous, don’t you think?

The replaceable brass thread nuts are a neat idea in theory. But couldn’t they just make them steel and not worry about replacement at all?

We’ve posted some new t-shirt designs over at Save Deth. There is a lot of stories and meaning behind this collection. Hope you dig ‘um!

1. Be an amazing person that has contributed to the yo-yo community for longer then you can remember.
2. Take the 4 Horsemen of Yo out to eat at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.
3. BID ON THIS

Yoyo Factory is releasing a new 888. Which isn’t as crazy as it was a year ago, but it is the 2nd generation of in my opinon, the best looking 888 of the 07’s.

One half is for Rebecca, one half for John. Large bearing, and is it just me, or dose it look logo-less? Awesome.

I can’t wait to try to bribe someone in 3 years for one.

The 2nd Annual International Yo-Yo Open is set for August 8th and 9th. This is sure to be one of the best yo-yo contests you’ve ever seen! BE THERE!

Just though you should know.

I was checking out some eBay auctions this morning and stumbled across this set of yo-yos Takeshi is selling.

Not only is this Sukeban Deka Freehand being sold (which was really damn hard to come by here in the US) but also a modded FH2 with some interesting caps. From the looks of it Duncan is working with the the new Speed Racer movie to create some awesome promotional yo-yos!

I wonder if these will come with a cool counter weight like the spiked Sukeban Deka one?

Check out the description over at Takeshi/Higby’s eBay page.

Born Crucial’s array of 1/3 of the 2% Milk’s being assembled. You know what that means! Get ready for these medium bearing redesigned spacer, 2% Milks to Hit Yo-Yo Nation SOON!

New spacers with BC Ghost Pads

Gap view. 2% on the left. OG Milk on the right.

Sorry I’ve been a little lax on posting. Spring Break took up a lot of time:)
Hspin has really gone back to the classic for there newest release. The Good and Evil4.

Smooth widened curves and a perfectly calculated gap.

The recess looks very nice. Flush silicone. The big difference that sets the 4th G&E apart is the solid aluminum construction. No Bi-Metallic rings.

Can’t wait to see more pictures, and play with one!
