Broke Village
Broke Village is a small yo-yo brand founded by Cory Gardner out of Austin, Texas. Gardner is an avid fixed-axle player who identified a gap in the market for premium machined-aluminum fixed-axle yo-yos and launched the brand in 2015 with the Fidalgo. In 2019 the brand collaborated with Rain City Skills (Canada) on the Convoy, a 7075-aluminum unresponsive throw inspired by WWII-era Merchant Marine service heritage. The brand relaunched in 2024–2025 with a third yo-yo (DSCB) in production.
