depends.... Buddha king was horrible for freestyle, mighty flea horrible for contests.... but they have their place. Stainless whistler is fun for what it does but plenty of people would say it isnt good.... at what they want.
Will you restock hubstacked catalysts at yye?I really want a black and green one but I'm only allowed to order from companies or yye.
Not in the near future.
Are you guys going to restock the 44's for yoyoexpert?
No.
Have you met any players out there who only get a yoyo once or twice a year? I'm one of those guys but I'd like to have more but I'm broke and money doesn't fall out of a tree for guys like me. -_-
new yoyos are not essential to be a player. it isn't a status or collecting contest, just play.
Is the rockstar still in production? If not, why so?
The last version came out at a very competitive time in the market and we really didnt promote it. Right now Id say the CZM8 is the next logical step in that design path so Id consider that.
I've learned pretty much all the tricks from the list on yye. Any tips on how to get better?
Start watching freestyles and player vids looking for ideas or moves you think are cool. Learn them and go from there. Often mis-learning them is even better because then they become your moves.
If I'm looking for a fast,solid,stable yoyo that's good for grinds should I pick the proton or equilateral? what is the out of the 2 and what is the best over all the yyf line up?
The grind comment puts Proton on top.
How old is Andrew Bergen
17? He just graduated HS.
Will you ever put hubstacks on a protostar?
Wont say no, but not in the near term plans.
Where can we get the yoyofactory Japan t-shirt?
yoyoexpert, spingear, rewind
What do you all think of the recent news about SPYY?
SPYY have been around for a long time. I think its a reflection of the health of the yoyo market. Its a mess. Respected brands, new upstarts, cheap imports.... its tough to communicate and SPYY got caught out. Personally, best wishes to Steve and Suzanne, I know Steve will never be able to get away from yo-yos so it isnt a real goodbye.
where will you go if you will leave YYF ?
TYLER: it was a joke.... unless you have a 7 figure offer?
What would be the best yoyoing advice for someone who has played about a year and a half?
TYLER: It sounds like you dont need advice, you have already found it.
I want to get sponsored, but it's not a huge company, any suggestions?
TYLER: take sponsorships from people whose product you like. Its not a life commitment, keep an eye out for bigger and better and let people know your available, for better offers. You hear that Pepsi, Ill drop YoYoFactory in a heartbeat for that 7 figure offer.
Is big problem for yu when your yoyo is little bit knocked?
TYLER: dings are love.
If another professional yoyoer asked you to teach them a cool trick, wich would you choose?
