I don't understand? What do you know that we don't? - Chris
I think Im the scene at Ottawa;) no the reason I say that is that I have not seen anybody MODERN yoyo ever so it gets kinda lonely when I'm in my basement yoyoing so I've been trying to find contests near me but it seems like the only contests are in the west (Vancouver etc.)
Start a club! Put out flyers or ads on kijiji or meetup. Post in the forums asking about other Yoyoers in Ottawa. You are no the only one. I am sure there are more or people who would be interested in joining. - Chris
Chris you should make a yoyo called the BEAVER!!! Because beavers are a part of our Canadian history and beavers are amazing!!!!
What flows with Beaver? Beaver Bob? Beaver Spin Fire? Ya I'm not feeling it yet. - Chris
Charles, can you please make a tutorial for some of the tricks in august blueprint (yeti) thanks!!!
I'll ask him. - Chris
Why CLYW yoyos are expensive?
Because they cost a lot to manufacture and anodize. If we went with standard keystone for every stage of our pricing they would be even more expensive. To cut corners we would have to find all new manufacturers and we haven't found an anodizer that can do fancy colors or a manufacturer that can meet OD's quality. We also invest a lot of $$$ into our team and sponsor a lot of contests, so that is also a factor as well. If we had to drop our prices any more we would have to greatly reduce the size of our team and stop helping our top players get to contests. Charles would prob have to find a new job, so there would be no videos. Gosh might as well just down the company then, eh? - Chris
Any thoughs on Yoyoworkshop? They seem to be extremely similar to CLYW - down to the packaging, box art, and colorways.
I will have to look them up. Never heard of them. - Chris
Which yoyo, in your opinion, is the best yoyo?
G&E1 it changed my life. Got me hooked and I learned so many tricks on it. Stills beats the snot out of most throws coming out these days. - Chris Ps: or the Countach ... Gosh that thing is heavenly. I would seriously pay $500 for one. Sonny psssssst pssssst!!!!
What return top represents you guys best at the lodge?

Hey Chris, is there a simple trick that you have never been able to do? Everyone has one.
It took me 4 years to learn boing-e-boing. Seriously. But today I forgot a Yuuki trick that I have been doing for prob 9 years now. The muscle memory let me down :( Wish I could do pop and fresh smooth (sp?). Just can't do it. Or superman or candy rain. Sorry for letting you down. - Chris
I can't decide between a bonfire or markmont classic. I really want a bonfire but the classic is cheaper but the bonfire is so cool but the markmont is just so awesome
Can't go wrong with either. Honestly that Markmont Classic is soooooooo good. I want to get an orange one and a black one. Prob one of my fav throws of 2014, well the one Mark let me try at IYYC was. Not sure if that was the final one though. Depends on the shape and feel you are looking for MM is all round and floaty. The BF will be your best friend and is more angled, but still floaty and fun.- Chris
On Petr Kavka's bio page, there is a picture of a yoyo (the cliff I think) with a colorway that looks very similar to confetti. What colorway is that?
It's confetti but looks a little more orange from the IG filter. - Chris
