Sometimes life happens. It is with a heavy heart, that after 4 years, we are shutting it down. We have built lifetime friendships, learned a lot, and made some yoyos. We will be releasing a C bearing Rex, followed by the highly anticipated Missing Link, and then pulling our hat out of the game.
There are a ton of people we would like to thank, and foremost on that list is Blake Freeman. Without him, Square Wheels would have never happened. He challenged me to do something I knew virtually nothing about. But out of that challenge came the Royale, followed by the Rockefeller, D bearing Rex, Nomad, and soon a C bearing Rex, and the Missing Link. Thank you Blake.
Next is our team, past and present. Blake Freeman, Matt Warren, Derek Britson, Robbie Graham, Connor Schultze, Spencer Walker, Jeffery Knox, Saska Sarkilahti, Owen Ekblad, Shane Lubecker, and Kyle Nations. You guys made it all turn with your representation, outstanding character, help with designs, feedback, and your friendship. Thank you all.
Special thanks to Burger & Brown Engineering and Dynacut for doing a fantastic job machining our yoyos. The patience and persistence Kimball Bryan, Doug McPeek, and Larry Hash displayed was nothing short of excellent. Also to Scooter Tuman for his excellent anodizing. You made us look way better than ever.
To the retailers that have supported us at one time or another. Yoyo Expert, Yoyo Community, Yoyo Bestbuy, and YoyoSam. All of you have been great. Special shoutout to Andre Boulay and Tony Alonso for helping us get started.
And last but certainly not least, our customers and fans. You all have been loyal to us to a fault. And we really do appreciate that. To everyone that has ever bought a yoyo from us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We hope you have enjoyed every product we have provided for you.
The yoyo community has been a privilege to be a part of. Thank you for making our lives a little better by letting us be a part of it.
Sincerely,
Jon Mackey
SWYYC
