MadHouse Yo-Yos, which started in 2008, is a small manufacturer of high-end yo-yos in California. MadHouse is owned and operator by Rick Kroytz, who started the company because of his long time interest in yo-yos (he has been yo-yoing since 1984). Rick has worked closely with his long term friend Nick Pelham on all aspects of MadHouse.
MadHouse yo-yos was an idea that Rick had for many years but did not have a clear-cut way of implementing his plan. Eventually things lined up and MadHouse was born. MadHouse’s first release was the 5150, which is named after the California police code for a mentally disturbed person. MadHouse is currently using NFS String made by Tanner Manning of San Fransisco. MadHouse has since formed a team of uniquely qualified individuals called the MadHouse Syndicate. MadHouse future plans are to continue to grow their line of unique, playable and amusing yo-yos.
