Joyride (Size D)

Joyride is a flagship design by Recess. Based off their First Base Yoyo launched in 2015, birthing a modern wave of organic yoyo design (peep the records 💖). 

Recess founder Tyler Severance has always loved organic shaped yo-yos. Going back to his 2007 World and National 5A titles won with a Duncan Freehand. They fit more comfortably in your hand, they have a more approachable look, they feel more like a toy in an industry full of V Shapes that scream “equipment”. 

Organic yo-yos are famously unstable. But the gap of the Joyride and First Base utilize a V Shape step, which acts as a counteracting stabilizer keeping your Yoyo spinning straighter, longer. While still giving the player the feel and aesthetic of an organic Yoyo. 

D bearing yoyos are known for their agility and high RPMs that other small bearing yoyos feature. But, D bearings are wider (5mm) than the A Size (4mm) “small bearing”, giving players a wider string gap that will not hinder their trick selection by creating too much friction from a thinner bearing.
