Hey guys, just got this last night, it’s the first video contest entry by Arif Kristiawan from Jakarta, Indonesia. I will also be posting this on the video contest page.

White logo on Dusty Brown; they’re $15.00 plus $3.50 for shipping and packaging and they’re available on the Products page. Right now I’ve got 2 smalls, 2 mediums, 3 larges, and 2 extra larges. One has been sent to OK states, one has been shipped off to Quinton (Alex already had a DTI shirt) and I snagged one for myself . http://dtiyoyo.com/products

Hey guys, I spend almost all of Sunday moving DTI over to GatorHost; I didn’t transfer it right so I had to go through all the code trading “dtistore.com” out for “dtiyoyo.com”. Total pain in the butt but I think I’ve got it all now! If you come across any errors please let me know about them and I’ll see what I can do to fix them.

What you can win: A BassBoost, a DTI t-shirt, and the opportunity to join the DTI Jr. Team if you so choose.

Hey guys and gals! Everything got pulled together today (and a little of last night I suppose), I got them all siliconed, wrapped, and boxed. They’re going to come with 2 type-6 green strings. We’re going to have to wait until the second run for the special snake skin strings. You can still get a BassBoost at the pre-order price until the 11:59pm (PST) 19th of May (2010).

Hey guys, people have been asking to see the new Double-Take Industries BassBoost yo-yo in action and I’ve been a few days overdue recording my monthly trick video. These are a few of the tricks I’ve been working on this month and I’ll tell you what, the first one in the video took 20 minutes to land with wind and the combination of some of the most complex and technical trick elements I’ve messed with in a long time. I hope you enjoy it! Out of all my clips so far this is my favorite.

P.S. My machinist said he finished the hubs today, and will have the axles tomorrow After that all we need is the strings from Ben and we’re ready to go!
