ED HAPONIK/BOUNTY/NEW RELEASES - Werrd Official Manufacturer's Thread

Is Jacob Jensen on G String? Has/used to have a big beard?

Yes Jacob (Elephark) is sponsored by both Werrd and G String. He used to have a man-sized face that was fuzzy…but now he is dazzling us with his boyish charm. :wink:

We’re running the Werrd Banger Trick Contest again and this year there are 4 chances to win.

Information on how to enter etc is here: http://www.werrd.com/hq/werrd-banger-trick-contest/

Prizes are:

  • For the category of “Amplitude” - the Banger trick that most takes our breath away - one of the brand new 2K13 Irony JPs
  • For the category of “Most Creative” - an Eighty-six400 (also just released at Worlds)
  • For the video with the most views by the time the contest is drawn - a 2K13 HOUR
  • And you can win just by entering - we’re doing a lucky draw prize - random drawing and you could win one of the new Werrd MINUTES.

Hit me back with any questions etc. Werrd up!

The Japanese have for a long time demanded a level of quality and precision that few manufacturers outside of Japan can meet. We decided to take up the challenge and the Irony JP was the result. After playing the JP for a while, we decided we could improve it even more. So here’s the new Irony JP. It drops here on YYE on September 6.

We’ve refined the weight distribution (its wider as well), the shape is closer to the OG Irony shape (remember those pink ones?) and we’ve added a concave finger spin area in the hub. It was so good we decided it needed something special so we added a genuine Dif-E-Yo KK bearing and are releasing this stock with IrPads for response. We’re really happy with how these have turned out - they are super smooth, look great and play amazing.

Given how popular the Irony JP was… if this is an improvement over that, it’s going to be killer! I dig the engraving.

The Irony JP 2k13 is amazing… Of all the new Werrd throws this year, it is by far my favorite. Just feels… Right.

Hey everyone!

We’re starting a new series featuring our soon to be released yo-yo the Minute 2k13.
We’ll start off with some of our team members showing off what we can do in a minute with the MINUTE and (hopefully) in the future feature some of you guys!

I’ll keep you updated when we release a new video in the series!

Congrats to him

Congrats to Ed. It seems to me that Werrd will fit him well.

I predicted this about a week ago :smiley: Congrats to Ed!

So happy to have Ed onboard!

When I saw this the first thing I thought was “no way… Oh my gosh erred is so lucky congrats Ed.”

Ed is a wizard!

Love how Ed’s style is absolutely distinctive, whether he’s throwing a wooden fixed axle or an Eight-Six 400. Great tricks in that video!

It’s just soo… fixed axle ya know? Kind of blows my mind. So awesome Ed, and congrats!

That’s a game changer.

Sick stuff Ed!!!

Man it’s been quiet in this thread for the past few months… Sorry about that guys! We’re back at it again and have tons of new releases in stores, as well as tons of new videos.

So first up, We released new MINUTE colors, and they are all absolutely beautiful.

We’ve also recently released some new colors of the 86400

Also if you didn’t already know the ever popular HOUR was restocked at YoYoExpert in all new colors.

In videos, we’ve added quite a few more Minute MINUTE videos.

First up being Alliance member Jacob Jensen. It’s been quite a while since his last video release, and it’s good to see that he hasn’t lost any of his skill.

Then we have Wrecking Crew’s Wilson Van Gundy. Wilson hasn’t put out very many videos, and we have no idea why. He has so many great tricks to show off.

Next up Alliance member Ky Zizan shows off some of his incredible 1a. We asked him if he was going to be making a Double Dragon Minute MINUTE, and he just gave us this sly grin and said, “You’ll just have to wait and see”

We follow that up with Alliance member Ed Haponik’s own Minute MINUTE episode. It is so strange seeing Ed throw a yoyo that isn’t wooden or fixed axle, but man he throws down some CRAZY stuff with the Minute

Our final episode comes from a Guest, Mr. CJ Atkinson of Crucial. The tricks are great, and the music makes it even better

Then in Non-Minute MINUTE videos, Wrecking Crew’s Donald Hodgkinson released “Repercussions” that features some amazing stuff. We all knew that Donald was a 3a mastermind, but in this video he shows us that he also has some world class 1a tricks.

Finally we have a new 3a video from Eric Tran-Ton (myself), it’s been a while since I’ve done any filming of my 3a, but with the help of Wrecking Crew’s Logan Willis, this video was able to happen.

We’ve got so much more stuff to release within these next few weeks, so stay tuned, and we promise that this time around we will keep you all updated.
