We are very excited to announce that the 1st run of Zach Gormley’s signature return top ‘the Arctic Circle’ will be ready very soon. Zach and I worked together on every detail of the design to create his dream throw. The Arctic Circle is a combination of the Chief’s double rims, the profile of the Avalanche and the convex face of the Canvas. It’s the perfect blend of 3 of our best return tops and done in a way that compliments each element. It’s a very clean design. Long spinner. Very Stable. The Arctic Circle is perfect for competition and will make you feel very confident on stage.

I am busy working away on assembly and am planning to do a small first release at Western Canadian Regionals in Vancouver, BC.

Pricing will be similar to the Chief: $135-$165 depending on the coulourway / edition. Bip Bop will be a little more, price TBA.

Here are the Specs:

Diameter: 55.0mm (2.165″)
Width: 43.5mm (1.713″)
Weight: 67.5g

I am so proud of you Harrison! What a great article in the the Globe and Mail today by Ishani Nath…a national Canadian newspaper to boot!!! You’ve come so far in your yoyoing…it’s incredible! Can’t wait to hang out with you at WCR next weekend!

“He’s got this likeability on stage that’s really hard to resist, and this incredible natural ability,” says Dennis Chui, head organizer of the Western regionals.

Chris Mikulin of Edmonton-based CLYW, a high-end “return top” maker, met Harrison at the Western regionals. It normally takes people a few hours, if not weeks, to perfect a new trick, says Mr. Mikulin, but Harrison was able to pick up skills “within 30 seconds.”
