After a long hiatus, yo-yos are being produced in Chico, CA again. Machining, design, and assembly are all done in Chico.

The first offering from the Chico Yo-Yo Company is a beautiful, precision machined aluminum yo-yo. The Bulldog yo-yo is slightly undersized at a 2 inch diameter and sports a very comfortable and playable weight of 66 grams.

The Bulldog uses a large, precision cleaned ABEC-5 aircraft grade bearing for incredibly long spins. Response is accomplished with hand poured silicone - which can be replaced with commonly available response pads if preferred - like the YoYoJam Silicone pads or the the Alchemy Silicone O-rings.

Jake and Greg flew out to Cali for 2009 US Nats and came back with some goodies. We got a handful of these at Worlds this year and they were gone as soon as they hit the table. We have two types, one with a matte finish that's better for grinds, and a polished finish that seems to be more popular with the collectors. There are many decades of yo-yoing experience behind this product and you will get nothing short of incredible play with this beauty of a beast. But don't just believe my barking, check out the forums and see how people rave about it and you will see just from throwing it once, this dog doesn't bite.
