Since Clint left the team we are now releasing it as The Burnside. * Weight: 67.25 * Width: 42.55 * Diameter: 56.77mm * Gap Width: 4.42mm * Bearing Size: Large (C) stainless steel (One Drop 10 Ball Bearing) * Response: Flow Groove (tm) * Finish: Pyramatte (tm) * Axle System: Tapped

 Re: Burnside
I've been dying to try the Burnside, but like the Dang, I've been waiting for the Nickel Version.

However, I don't find it necessary to try a non-nickel first, sometimes trying the nickel first is all you need to do for a particular yoyo. For some people nickel is an allergen, while for others it's a drug... db

 Re: Burnside
Got mine in the mail today. Threw a counterweight on it first thing and was instantly smitten. Looking forward to spending a lot of time with it.
