Stupid Wide
Wide is the future.
Capsule
A 3D printed yo-yo from Dale Tubat.
Each comes with two randomly colored capsules that contain everything you need to build your yoyo.
The standard colors are half-swaps with blue, green, yellow, and magenta with a secret rare color every 1 in 25!
Format:C Gen 2 Recessed Cup Proto
The proto before the final release of the Format:C Gen 2. It’s slightly heavier, and the cup is stepped down.
Only 8 units were made.
Fluke
From Freshly Dirty:
“The Fluke is the signature yo-yo of our very own Wes Shuck. It is his ideal design for laid back everyday use, while still retaining a spirit of creativity and flow. The design is entirely the vision of Wes, with the original prototype even being hand produced with Wes’s assistance back in 2018 in his home state of Michigan. The Fluke comes in 2 versions, a blasted and a brushed finish. The blasted version features a split beadblast along our signature “sight lines” in the gap to minimize string wear and provide a nice visual contrast both inside and outside of the sight line.”
Johnny Scrabble Edition
From Wes:
“Living in Boston you find many strange things and meet many different people. My journey to the national yoyo contest started after work, traveling through the millions of people downtown for the Celtics parade after their championship win this year. I eventually made it on the bus heading to Philly and sat next to this wonderful man named Johnny Scrabble!!
He’s a Philly native whose love for the Celtics runs so deep he had to be in Boston for the parade (decked out in the sickest Celtics merch). He has the name Johnny Scrabble because he teaches students across Philadelphia how to play Scrabble, working on improving literacy within the public school system by creating an after-school activity for kids to learn and hang out together.
After having great conversations that lasted our whole ride to Philly we parted ways at the bus stop, and my national yoyo experience was off to a wonderful start! Johnny’s selfless service to his community and passion for his mission impacted me and the entirety of the Freshly Dirty team with whom I shared his story. We decided to make a special edition color after him — spreading the news of his great work! -Wes

Dingo Gen 2
From One Drop:
“Oh my. Where does the time go? The original Dingo was first released in November of 2009, when we were just 2 years into making yo-yos and this was our 5th model. We’ve now made 95 models (more if you count all the Benchmarks and an extra one for the Perspective).
The original Dingo was a pocket size mini that played well and spun a long time. It had the round pressed nut axle system that we were using at the time. We did a few runs like that. In October of 2014 we released one more run but we replaced the pressed nut with a tap-through axle. And that was that.
It’s now been 10 years since we made any Dingos and in recent years we have been getting lots of requests to make more. The Dingo enjoys lots of love out there (we appreciate you). Once we decided to go ahead with doing more, it seemed clear that updating the design was the play.
The diameter is the same as the original: 46mm. We stayed with a tapped axle but changed the cup to have a flat floor. This allowed us to use the awesome Dingo stamp in the middle of the hub rather than off to the side. We then opened up the catch zone by smoothing out the curve and increasing the width a bit to make it easier to play and have more room for string wraps. Finally, we reduced the weight down to 57.8 grams (the original was a hefty 63 grams) to bring the weight into proportion with the small size. It feels more well rounded and modern now but still has the same pocket size mini charm.”
