I just saw your new Orca splashes! Is Lost in Space new?
Lost in Space is brand new, and so is the Harrison Hurricane Fade. It's a fade splash variation on the regular Harrison Hurricane colorway, which will still be produced. -Steve

When do the splash orcas on the CLYW fb page release? Or is it undecided?
We are hoping to release this week, but need to finalize a couple of details first. -Steve
Just want to let you know I'm totally in support of overseas manufacturing :) . Quick question though. If you machine it there, are they still going to be tumbled in OD's Pyramatte, or are you going to use a new tumbler?
If we produce anything overseas, we won't be doing a tumbled finish at all. Probably blasted. -Steve

current chief specs?
I don't have any of the most recent run in front of me to confirm, but we're dropping some more soon and our retailers will update the specs on their sites when they arrive. -Steve
Can you describe the differences between the ac1 and ac2? Thanks
Well, you can compare specs for the two of them side by side here: http://www.clyw.ca/pages/clywmparison
Beyond that, the biggest difference is the removal of the secondary rim and the changing of the weight distribution. It's amazing how much of a difference a shift in weight distribution can make. -Steve

How is your day going?
Pretty good! Just dropped an AMAZING new trick from Mark Mangarin, and catching up on email. -Steve

Steve, you are awesome. I can't wait for your (CLYW's)upcoming releases. The scrutiny about overseas production is quite silly. For a while most of the return tops featured no engraving. Now they're back. Is this a new point of emphasis?
Thanks for the support!
We've been adding the engravings for one simple reason: we like the way they look! Art has always been a huge part of CLYW and adding the small runs of solids to each production batch has been an awesome excuse for us to trot out one of the things we love the most about CLYW. -Steve

Will you guys be at Western Canadian' in Kelowna this year?
I haven't heard anything about it yet. -Steve
Can you guys release some of each batch on your clyw online store? I like buying from your store alot better.
We've been talking about doing that. Not many, just a handful of pieces from each run. Maybe! -Steve
Question for Chris (the original one) where does your style of play come from?
CLYW ti?
Nothing planned, but we'd love to do one. I personally am a huge fan of titanium return tops. I love my Ricochet, I backed the YoYoFactory "Titanium Dream" project (as did Chris!) and if I had the money I'd grab a Dazzler in a heartbeat. -Steve
Looking at all these yoyo performances from the past two years I question "Where are the oldies at?" Steve that's your call!
The oldies are answering questions on Ask.fm, editing video, managing the team, trying to hold Chris to design/production deadlines, working on a promotional budget that never seems to work out the way we want it to, fielding emails from team members, talking to retailers, talking to suppliers, and doing a million other things that keep us from actually picking up a return top, ha ha ha. -Steve

What inspires Chris (the original one) play style.
If you guys do free shipping from your store, do I still have to pay tax if Customs in my country (the UK) get a hold of it? Sorry I'm not fully informed on these things, it's okay if you don't know.
The cost of shipping has no relevance to customs duties. -Steve
Do you contribute a lot of your current success to the success you had with the peak? Most companies that have weak first models never turn out as big as you guys are now.
Gotta be honest here....the Peak is irrelevant. That first model could have been anything. The success of the company comes from Chris. He had a distinctive vision for CLYW, he has always made it a point to be very, very active and connect with the fans in a positive and meaningful way, he understands how to guide and manage the brand so that it always stays true to his vision, and he is a wonderful human being. The actual products are, to me, completely secondary to all of that. -Steve

I have not received any sponsorship information from either of those events. If you know the organizers, please tell them to send details to steve@clyw.ca. -Steve
Will you guys be selling any Scouts at BAC?
Our table at BAC will be all Fools Gold. -Steve
A new run of the Avalanches? Because I saw on YoyoExpert last week, "for a limited time"
We split the final production of the Avalanche into two batches. The second (and final) batch will release soon. -Steve

I got a question if your going to throw out the fools gold yetis could you sell them as souvenirs? I would buy some just to look at them. You would make more money if you do this so they wouldn't go to waste and people will have more cool stuff in their collections
Nope, sorry. -Steve
I suport the overseas production. Beacuse it adds variety and you could spread clyw to less advandced players with a budget yoyo.
Thanks! That's the plan. It's not like we want to change our existing line...we just want to add a couple of options to it. -Steve

will there be another round of shipping free promotion when we purchase your product directly?
We're actually discussing that now... -Steve
Which CLYW throw is good to relaxingly chill with on a warm summer's day?
Personally, I think you should get one of the round ones. -Steve
