I spent some time this week painting the custom Freehand Zero yo-yo sidecaps that I ordered from Duncan. I got 150 pairs, and they are clear plastic so I can paint the inside of them however I want. This is the second batch.
At the moment the yo-yos and caps are only available through ExtremeSpin.com or from me directly. Here’s a great shot of an assembled yo-yo from the ExtremeSpin website:

Comments Off on The Duncan Warehouse. It’s like the Holy Land for yo-yoers.
Takeshi and I drove down to Columbus Indiana today to go to the Flambeau (aka Duncan) warehouse. Takeshi had ordered some yo-yos, and I needed to get some too. It hadn’t occured to me that I needed to place my order in advance, but thankfully Michelle in Customer Service was very kind and made things happen for me.
The warehouse is CRAZY. There are SO MANY cases of yo-yos. It’s AWESOME. It just makes me want to buy them all. I like to look at the shelves full of boxes and imagine all the joy that is going to come to all the people who will eventually get those yo-yos. It’s my inner hippy showing through, but it’s a pretty great, and pretty big thought.
I am constantly amazed at how cool I still think yo-yos are. I mean seriously… yo-yos are SO cool.
