The MarkMont Classic is the latest signature edition of One Drop team member Mark Montgomery. It's a wide yo-yo with very smooth curvy lines, finished in a fine blast that's excellent for grinding. Comes complete with 2 sets of Side Effects that duplicate the look of the MarkMont Next hub - one brass, and one clear aluminum. Available in Black, Blue (shown here), Clear, Mustard and Nickel plated. Also available as a Collector's Edition with extra items.
Here's how Mark describes the Markmont Classic -
"The Markmont. Classic is the brain baby of this oldschool(ish) player mixed with the genius of more then 4 generations of yo-yo advancement and the build expertise of David Metz and Shawn Nelson. The idea was to make a yo-yo that could sit next to the throws of past and still hold its own weight as a 'classic'. To re-interpret the classic organic butterfly shape but meet the modern day throw play standards. Ultimately, this was a massive feat to accomplish that would eat up quite a bit more brain juice then anticipated, but in the end, the result is exactly as it was intended to be play wise and even aesthetic wise. A far departure from the original Markmont. and Markmont. Next throws, but still nodding to certain specific details like the flat outer faces of the rims and the stylized side effects to match the Markmont. Next to keep it in the family."
