Sorry!We had some ideas for it but nothing that quite panned out. Other designs came together much quicker so we focused on those. It'll happen in 2017, don't worry. -Steve
Fat, silly, fun! The larger diameter makes it feel really light and floaty, the steel rims give it a ton of spin time, and the round profile feels super nice in the hands. It's got a little bit of kick back due to the diameter, but it's really only noticeable if you use a thinner string (or if your string is nastied out and ready to be changed). It's one of those things that looks like a novelty, but once you start actually using it you find yourself reaching for it waaaay more often than you expect. Right now I have the Gorge, the Kodiak, the Dune, and Creep on my counter and I've spent the past week reaching for the Gorge almost every time. Thanks, Kanye! -Steve
You said a while back that Duncan has the patent for 5a yoyos. What makes a yoyo for 5a I though people just used an unresponsive yoyo with a counterweight?
Duncan has a patent on selling a counterweight specifically for use with a yoyo to perform counterweight play. -Steve
Do you primarily play 5A or 1A? Which is your favorite? Do you play any 3A or 4A? Do you think getting better at any one style makes you better/more creative at other styles? Did I really just ask 4 questions?
I primarily play 1A, but I've been getting back into 5A lately (thanks, Rojas!). I *can* play all styles, but I'm definitely better at 1A and 5A. I think having a working understanding of all styles, and switching between them regularly, definitely helps your overall skill and creativity. -Steve
