CLYW Team - Elliot Jackson
I’m VERY excited to announce our newest team member, Mr. Elliot Jackson!!
I first learned of Elliot in 2007. He was new to the yoyo scene and like most people, was eager to learn EVERYTHING. He had his own website and would post reviews of new yoyos; the Bear vs Man being one of them. Within a couple months Elliot was at a level that takes most people years to get to. When I saw his first video I was blown away … and couldn’t wait for the next one to come out and the next and the next. Elliot has such a special knack for yoyoing and for creating his own style of amazingness … just so much flow, WOW!
When I met Elliot in 2008 at the World Yoyo Contest in Orlando we instantly became great friends. Elliot is just such a unique guy. So talented, humble, thoughtful and kind. To be able to support Elliot with his yoyoing is definitely an honour for us. I’m really excited for what is to come. Something to also mention is that Elliot is also a very talented graphic designer … so expect some sweet colabs in the future!!
Name: Elliot Paul Jackson
Age: 22
Hometown: Locust Valley, New York
Currently Living: Boston, Massachusetts
Handed: Righty-tighty
Added to the team: September 2009
Favourite yoyo: PEAK
Occupation: Graphic Designer
Favorite food: chocolate chip cookies
Discipline: 1A
Interesting Fact: I have a lot of elbow skin and I’m easily tricked.
Interesting Fact the Second: I learned everything I know from Guier Scott Wright III
Unfortunately Elliot’s battery charger died for his video camera so he’s been unable to make a new video … he said he’ll hopefully have one stocked full of new tricks within the next few weeks. Elliot makes some of the best videos around, so keep your eyes peeled. I can’t wait!! So in the meantime here is another photo of Elliot being awesome …

For those of you who like underground yo-yo photography, you can check out some shots of Elliot doing his thing here.
(This photography is not underground in any way).
