General-Yo is a yo-yo company that broke onto the scene in late 2008 with their yo-yo the Torrent. Ernie Kaiser, the owner and founder of General-Yo, took his experience as an aeronautical engineer and designed the Torrent before he could do todays modern tricks. In fact, after creating a working prototype he went looking on the internet to find yo-yoers in his area to try out his product, as he fell back in love with yoyoing after 25 years.
