The Chief has pretty much always had a matte finish, although we tend to stay away from heavier blasts just to avoid problems with string cutting. -Steve

What's the most important thing going on in the yoyo world right now?
What would you consider CLYW's crowning achievement?
Lasting 10 years. I've been in the industry now for 21 years, and I've seen sooooo many companies come and go. I was looking through an old issue of Fiend Magazine (also gone) the other day and realized that nearly every single company that advertised in that magazine is gone now. -Steve
I ask this every time you make a new bimetal, but now that you're making a monometal blizzard for andrew maider fans with limited funds, would you consider making a plastic Kodiak with stainless steel rims? I know a lot of people (myself included) would love a Tessa Sig, but can't afford the Kodiak.
Do you know if you can fit snow tires into a skyva?
I don't have mine handy to check, sorry. But pretty sure they don't fit. -Steve
Did tessa perform at PNWR? Is she going to be at BAC?
I believe she competed in Prelims at PNWR. Not sure about BAC yet, but I'm guessing she'll be there! -Steve
OK this is an answer for the yeti2 slim bearing question, because steves answer is wrong. shorter axle will not work, the bearing seat sticks out too much, a slim bearing in the yeti2 cant screw together all the way - ive tried. yeti2 would make a great throw for 4A, if it could take a slim bearing.
Very good point...I hadn't checked that since I didn't have a Yeti handy at the moment. Thanks for letting us know! -Steve
Will we get 21 Stories edition Manatees?
Yes, but not in this next batch. -Steve
could i put a slim bearing in the yeti 2 or would I also need a shorter axle? I just think it would play crazy fun responsive.
You would definitely need a shorter axle, although I'm not really sure what size you would need. Not something I've ever messed with. -Steve
do you know if there are any players on Chris's radar when it comes to possible sponsorship?
No one at the moment. -Steve
Will the new borealis me a remodel (like the ac2 for ac1 / puffin 2 for puffin) or just minor tweaks
Not sure, actually...I'm never really involved in the design process. It's totally between Chris and Zach...once it's finished I'll get to see the design and Chris will walk me through what they did. -Steve
So the fools gold list on instagram is only available in person at PNWR?
