A huge congratulations to Ernie and General-Yo as a whole for reaching their one year anniversary. I’m sure as they look back, they’re hugely pleased with what they’ve achieved in their first year. Having built up an outstanding reputation for quality control and yoyos that play at the absolute top end of the market time after time, I’m sure another exciting year is ahead.

Congrats General-Yo!

Footage of John Ando and Pat Mitchell in Moscow.

As always you know what to expect from these two, repeated doses of condensed awesome! The slack trick from John at ~1:39 is all kinds of great.

Very impressive stuff from Zammy this time out, his usual complex tech tricks have started to be combined with some fantastic moebius specific flair and repeater tricks which round off his style really nicely.

Take a look for yourself. A download link can also be found at: http://www.sector-y.com/2009/12/13/attitude/
