Had a chance to kick off the year hanging out with some of the DXL Crew. I spent most of the week home sick so it was nice to get out. By the way, we’ll be having our first SoCal Yo-Yo class next Saturday, January 16, 2010 @ 1:00pm at the Starbucks on the corner of South Street and Gridley (Right across the street from the mall) in Cerritos. Bring all your questions, theories, and tricks you want to learn or discuss and we’ll help you out. Don’t be afraid. Seriously, don’t be afraid. We always get a couple new players who come and sit off to the side and yo-yo by themselves. Even after I introduce them to everyone they head straight for the side again to be by themselves. C’mon guys, stop being so intimidated.
Alex brought along a couple new flavors of his “i” yo-yo for us to throw around. The engraving on the red looks like a bandana. Pretty sweet especially if you’re a gangbanger and want matching gear. (That’s a joke, we don’t gangbang… not anymore at least.) pssst…. that’s another joke. Geez, why you all so uptight. The two new flavors should be making their way to the stores shortly. I forgot exactly where they are headed but I’ll try to give you guys a heads up when I talk to him again.
Also, I got to try some string that James made. Not James Lac, but little James. I think he calls them “Sick String”. He does a pretty good job with them and they feel nice. Haven’t had a chance to see how they wear after a few hours yet, but so far so good. Check them out if you can. Anyways, that’s all for now.
A big shout out to all my Duncan heads. I miss you guys. Let’s hang soon.

The new colors for the i are incredible! It is a must see! My personal fav is the blue acid wash i. AKA the one to the left in the pic. Alex let me play with it and it rocked! NO VIBE. Smooth! Great yoyo. My litte bro has one and I steal it from him all the time! *laughter*
p.s. Thanks for the Sick String plug Glasseye!

Any more pics of the new i colors? I haven’t bought a yoyo in almost a month *gasp*. The paisley engraving on the red one is really nice, curious what they look like on the blue.

I must snag a Red Bandana “i”… It looks amazing.

God those are two beautiful yo-yo’s how do they play? Did you get to give them a throw? I’m glad to see that you guys have such a good yo-yo scene going in California
