Sponsors and Curators The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!

From a-rt.ca:
"The A-RT (A Return Tops) Squib provides the organic and lively feel of an oakÂ wooden topÂ with the added ultra smooth hand painted finish that altersÂ the way it spins and handles on the string. This unresponsive yo-yo is light and plays floaty and nimble while encouragingÂ finesse in execution with a centre weight high wall design.

CarvedÂ by Jensen [Kimmitt] himself. The aluminum guts were machined by the one and only One Drop of Oregon and has One Drop clear Flow Groove pads installed. Also includesÂ the covetedÂ YoYoRecreation DS ball bearing axle!"
