Summit or scout? Main differences?

Well, the main difference is that they are two completely different return tops. :P
Aside from being two completely different return tops, they also have different diameters, widths, weights, and profiles. One has an internally machined axle system, the other has the Side Effects replaceable axle system. One was designed by CLYW to the specs of a team member, the other was designed by CLYW and One Drop as a collaborative effort.
They're both round, and they both have the same response and bearing. That's about all they have in common, really. They look, feel, throw, and play different. Both are stable and long spinning. Both will do pretty much anything you want. I personally prefer the Scout as a general player, although I really like the Summit for 5A. (Flat rims and extra width are what I tend towards for counterweight play.) -Steve

Why did spyy go out of business?

Priorities changed, and Steve wanted to spend more time with his family and less time staying up until 2 am assembling return tops. -Steve

can you guys do something in honour of troy please.

Sebastian Brock and Tucker Holland are working on it. We've let them know we're available to help if they need it. -Steve

You should sponsor Alexis JV he is an amazing yoyoer and would be better with you guess than with yoyo jam

YoYoJam are great people, and good friends. I'd really appreciate if you didn't use our page to insult them.
And poaching from other people's teams is pretty low. It's one thing if a player initiates a change in sponsorship, but encouraging us to engage in dirty business is just really bad form. -Steve

has your string ever snapped while you were yoyoing?

Yeah, but not in a long time. Basically not since I switched over to bearings. Damn, I'm old ha ha. -Steve

Hey Steve this might of been asked before but when is the Orca releasing!?

We don't have a release date yet, but we'll let everyone know (loudly, across all CLYW channels) when we do! -Steve

What's your current favorite return top just to learn tricks on? Like a chill out kinda throw?

Whatever is handy. -Steve

Are there differences between then Gnarwhal 2 and Puffin 2?

Well, yeah....they're different return tops! ;)
Specs and pics are here:
http://www.clyw.ca/pages/gnarwhal-2
http://www.clyw.ca/pages/puffin-2
As you can see from the photos, the Gnarwhal 2 has the weight more concentrated at the far outer edge of the rim, while the weight on the Puffin 2 is pushed further towards the center. Both are very stable, but the Gnarwhal 2 is optimized more for long spin times and stability, while the Puffin 2 has a weight distribution that gives you both of those, but is also built for speed and agility. Both will serve you will in a competition scenario, but they have very different feels and you'll immediately find that you prefer one over the other, even though you'll probably like both. -Steve

if you were to get sponsored as a yoyoer what's the pay like

Every sponsorship deal is very much based on the individual. The pay is generally travel to contests plus % of sales from signature models. Varies greatly by company and by player. -Steve

any advice on getting my bearing unresponsive? It just got responsive after i lubed it...so frustating

I've always just played them to break them in. Takes a while, but again...I've always been a demonstrator first and player second, so I'm very used to just using my equipment "as is" without tuning or modifying. -Steve

That is cool you have seen the chief picture. I noticed that CLYW on instagram had had reposted fan art but not the chief pic. I was wondering if maybe Chris didn't like it? I am a fan of comic book art, and this seems like it's on part with Jason Weeks art. I was just curious y clyw didn't repost?

We don't repost everything, otherwise our feed would be nothing but reposts. Just a few things here and there. -Steve

I really like that you guys answer all the questions! It is really cool to know you will always be there to help out!

Thanks! -Steve

How do you feel about one drop's aluminum fixie? How does it play?

This is the first I've heard of it. Paul Dang, why you holding out on me? -Steve

You guys should have named the Summit "Caribou Droppings" (Caribou lodge + One Drop) haha

Someone recommended that for our b-grades, actually ha ha -Steve

In what month are you planning on releasing the last run of the Arctic Circle 2? Also what colorways are to be expected in this upcoming run?

Not sure, and not sure. -Steve

I see what you mean in the answer about the decline of 5A. What do you think it would take to keep it going and possibly revive it?

Either Duncan needs to step up and decide to really actively promote it, or they need to get out of the way and make allowances for other companies to do it without adding on prohibitive costs. -Steve
