Josh and Kirby,
I really love watching SBL, and even though I almost never get to watch it live, I get the podcast, which is really a great alternative. It’s also really great what you do with the trick tutorials and giveaways. And, I’m exuberant over Kirby’s return, for we all missed him dearly. Hooray for SBL!!

Hey,

I found out about and started watching SBL a little over 2 weeks ago.  I gotta say, it’s a really cool show, and you guys are a lot of fun to watch.

The main reason I’m writing to you, though, is that I want to tell you about a project that I started about mid-Summer.  The name of it is Rethinkyoyo, and it’s a yoyo tutorial site.  About two days ago I just finished and uploaded my 50th tutorial, which was a major goal for me.  Although, I am still constantly making new ones.  I try to get done at least one a week.

I want to be able to teach as many people as possible with the site, and, until now, I really haven’t put any effort into getting the word out about it.  But, I think now is the time.  My goal with the site is to have tutorials that are easy to follow and easy to learn from.  So, check out the site,www.rethinkyoyo.com, and watch a tutorial or two.  I think I might have a couple of tricks on there you guys at SBL! haven’t learned yet.

Thanks for your time,

Kyle Vegh

• Yo-Yo News
  • The Return of the Museum of Yo-Yo History – The Museum of Yo-Yo History at yoyomuseum.com is a tremendous resource about the history of yo-yo that predates other yo-yo encyclopedic efforts like YoYoWiki.  The Museum is owned and run by Dave Hall from the former Dave’s Skilltoys and when that store closed in October of 2008 he closed the Museum as well.  After several requests by various people Dave Hall decided to reopen the Museum as a resource for yo-yo history.  It’s unclear at this time if the museum is going to stay open indefinitely or if this is just a limited time thing, but please check it out while it’s online and support it anyway that you can because it’s a resource like none other.
  • New Hot Pink Boyd vs Man YoYos – Reported on the Caribou blog there were  some very limited edition Bear vs Man yo-yos that featured laser engravings of a bear on one half and a man on the other.  Only 12 of these yo-yos were released at the premium price of $120 and of course they are gone.  But hot pink… sexy….
  • Ready for the Heavy Cream? – From the Crucial Blog at crucialthreads.com, Heavy Creams are coming soon and the first 80 are a limited edition that will come with a tshirt from clothing company U.N.I.4.R.M. (uniform).  The tshirt has a picture of a smoking hot chick enjoying some heavy cream.
  • Article about Sebastian Brock in School Newspaper – Sebastian Brock is a tremendous player and is sponsored by Caribou Lodge Yo-Yo Works… you know him… right?  Perhaps it’s because this article was written by a college student, who is working hard to be accurate and interesting, or perhaps it’s because people who write for large newspapers are jaded and disinterested, but this article about Sebastian is one of the most fun yo-yo articles that I have read.  It’s a great read about a great yo-yoers.
