I just wanted to say I’ve picked up nearly all the slimline/responsive yo-yos that have been released in the past couple of years and I still think the Moonshine is one of the very best. I keep coming back to it. So thanks!
I kno it's a long shot and more than likely won't happen but I'd like to see some older lodge throws come back even if for short runs. Avalanche would be amazing
We’ve been talking about a new Avalanche. Maybe. -Steve
Will we ever see the sick splash colourways again? Or has clyw moved on...?
The trade-off for the really wild stuff was losing entire runs to b-grades. Maybe I’m getting old but that’s just not an exciting risk to take anymore. -Steve
What is the difference between the Chief and the Pickaxe in terms of play?
They are like night and day! The Chief plays more like a traditional competition return top in that you use it through a combination of you pushing the return top and the return top pushing back, and the space between that give/take is where you build your tricks. With the Pickaxe, you're a conductor pushing air and string and the return top almost effortlessly goes where the slightest amount of effort puts it. It's a very different play experience, and the visual similarities between the two are pretty much the only similarities. -Steve
It's still in production, should have more info in about a week or so...in the meantime, we're loving the protos and so is everyone who has tried them. -Steve
Working on more new return tops...less signature stuff and more just very Caibou-ey stuff. Probably going to lay low on the contest scene a bit this year and regroup for a big 2019 since Worlds is coming back to North America. We're restructuring the business end of things a bit to dig us out of some holes we fell into last year. We're still a very, very small company but we've grown just enough that we need to get organized better and that's kind of my primary focus for 2018. -Steve
Playing your return tops every day makes me a happier person. And my happiness spreads to everyone around me. You guys make the world a better place :)
Awww...thank you so much! This is the very best valentine. :) -Steve
