Wizard

Will Prater joined the One Drop team in 2013.  He’s a local here in Eugene and they knew him before he picked up the yo-yo. What’s crazy is that they had hired his dad twice in the early days of One Drop to move our newly purchased CNC machines off the truck and into the shop. They only figured this coincidence out after they had known Will for a number of years. Will’s dad is a character and one we had never forgotten since those days he helped them. He had kind of become a legend in early One Drop lore. Our minds were all blown the day we figured this out. Owning a yo-yo business means you get to see a lot of people play modern yo-yos for the first time and what you notice is that a large percent of them don’t stick with it. When Will picked up his first One Drop yo-yo, as with everyone, they didn’t have any expectation that he might stick with it. Not only did he stick with it, he played constantly and became really good, really fast. It didn’t take very long for him to work his way
