About
The 5150 is MadHouse YoYos’ debut product, released in late 2008 by founder Rick Kroytz. Named after the California police code for a mentally disturbed person (a fitting brand statement), it is undersized and lightweight with excellent weight distribution — an early hallmark of the boutique American yo-yo scene. The 5150 was sold primarily at the 2009 World Yo-Yo Contest. Two special colorway editions were also released in collaboration with YoYoGuy.com: the “Infinite Illusions Edition” and the “YoYoGuy Edition.”
