·         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.

·         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!
