Jensen Kimmitt pushing the innovation boat out.

So, not being content with being the Worlds best competition player, it looks like Jensen has his heart set on creating some new concepts for the world to play with.

You may or not have seen his amazing “Just Chillin’” video below…

…which features a new style involving a super long string with two tether points, one on your bicep and one in your hand. In case anyone was looking to replicate this style, Jensen posted a full explanation on his Facebook page.

To anyone who wants to try my new concept: tie two strings together (loop to non loop to keep tension properties normal) and cut at nose length from the floor. From there, throw the yo-yo like you’re playing with a counterweight. The knot you created from tying the strings together will fit roughly in your hand like a …die.

Have fun.

Interesting stuff indeed. I for one will be waiting to see what Jensen comes out with over the next few months.

Coming soon to YoYoNation – SPYY Supra.

The Supra is SPYY’s answer to the player who’s looking for a wide, yet smaller competition throw. It features the same massive catch zone and ultra-low walled gap as the Pro, which has proven itself to be a top performer. The Supra has excellent rim weight for its size and is an uncompromising approach to all out play.

SPYY Supra key features:
- super-super wide profile at 41mm
- ultra low-walled 4.5mm gap
- 51mm diameter
- 67.5g weight
- massive rim weight percentage
- no spike and an exposed axle to optimize rim weighting
- recessed pads – accepts silicone
- dry large C bearing
- bead blasted finish in “Ultra Violet” or premium “Gold Dust” colorways.
