Augie Fash also known as El Yo-yo is the Customer Support Manager at iFixit, he used to be the Director of Sales and Marketing at Duncan Toys, as well as the leader of Duncan Crew USA. He was a long time member of Team YoYoFactory and also briefly a member of Team C3 Yo-Yo Design. He has won many contests but is most well known for being the 2004 US National 1A Champion. His style is recognizable for his extremely fast paced tech tricks. He has also consistently placed top 5 in 1A and 5A style. In the summer of 2007, Fash toured with Brothers Grim sideshows, performing at the Vans Warped Tour and then Ozzfest venues where he made friends with the metalcore band The Human Abstract. Also during the summer of 2007, during his 5A final routine at the World Yo-Yo Contest, Fash famously lost control of a high-flying aerial counterweight trick, the yo-yo becoming lodged in the chandelier on the ceiling. In 2023, Augie worked together with his friend Jeffrey Pang to create a titanium yo-yo, his first signature titanium yo-yo and the current one after 10 years of his last signature, the Electric Flash. This titanium yo-yo is called Exos and it's made under Jeffrey's brand Luftverk. The profits from this yo-yo will go directly to Augie, which will help him realize his future projects, such as his future own yo-yo brand called OKYOYO.
