String Burn LIVE!

·         Mike Montgomery's “Learn to Throw” book – Mike Mongomery, the entreprenureual yo-yoing force from Idaho has just published a “How-To” book on yo-yoing through the publish on demand site Lulu.com.  I (josh) read an early copy of this book and it's pretty darn good. 

·         To keep riding the Mike Montomery bandwagon, he has released the first in a series of tutorials to help promote his book.  Here is a clip from his first video from the Learn to Throw Show.

·         B!ST: Ice Ice Baby – This yo-yo is particularly hilarious to me, because I had an argument several years ago with my buddy Josh Jessen about an ice yo-yo.  So this just completely blows everything away forever.  The St. Paul winter carnival may be over, but here in Minnesota, we've still got at least 4 feet of snow on the ground.  Bring on the BIST Ice Ice Baby!

·         Ickyo Agape gets closer to prime time –There is a great thread on ExtremeSpin with some great pictures and a couple of great reviews.  Of course you could check out String Burn LIVE! episode for our review of the Agape.
