———————————————————
Eli Hops is a group that was founded in December of 2010 to raise funds and awareness for Autism and other special needs causes each year.
Eli Hops was founded by David Herrera when he noticed that his son Eli, who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder earlier that year, was significantly helped by playing with a yo-yo.
Through the international yo-yo and skill toy community, David found similar benefits were being observed by the parents and friends of “differently abled” children the world over. It was then he decided to form Eli Hops to not only raise funds but also to help spread the word about these special kids through play.
Eli Hops is about special kids and special young adults having fun along side professional and amateur skill toy performers, sports players, artists, musicians, and all sorts of volunteers with one common goal; to “Play for Hope”.

CafeRacer by OneDrop!
Wednesday, August 10th, 2011
One Drop started the affordable metal revolution and are now taking it to the next level with the CafeRacer. They once again show that quality and performance can be attained with American manufacturing at a very decent price.
Named after the British movement of the 60′s to modify motorcycles for speed and performance, the CafeRacer brings nimble and stable play to the undersized realm. It features a large angled catch zone and feels comfortable in the hand.
Initial run available in a great red and blue!
888.11 by YoYoFactory
Saturday, August 6th, 2011
When the YoYoFactory 888 was first brought to life it made people rethink yo-yo design. For years it was the one yo-yo that all were compared to and for good reason. The 888 is the smoothest spinning yo-yo out there and its shape is incredibly comfortable and sleek.
Since the 888 was released back in 2007, YoYoFactory has made an effort to release a slightly altered version of the 888 every year. Over the years, the 888 has seen different weight distributions, large and small bearing versions, high wall versions, amongst other changes.
For 2011, the 888 is seeing one of the most drastic design changes as it brings to the table a raised response area, a wider profile, and a weight increase. For this initial release of the 888.11, YoYoFactory has brought back one of the most popular 888 concepts with Jason Lee art and a deep blue finish. This initial 888.11 Jason Lee edition is here in extremely limited quantities. If you are a serious yo-yo player this is one yo-yo you do not want to miss owning.
