This is great news as I have been thinking of purchasing this wheel. Also, does anyone have and/or use the York wheel and is it still made - can't seem to locate info on one. Which would be better for travel to senior centers and children's camps?
Thanks again for info on the artista.

Hi Beth,
I have a York wheel & I LOVE it! HOWEVER I believe the artista will be easier/ lighter to haul back & forth. Also if you have electricity at the senior center I would go with the Artista. The York is great if you don't have access to electricity but it's a 53 pound hunk of concrete that only throws sm. to med. sized stuff. It is the perfect wheel if you do historical re-enactments like medieval society get togethers or early american get togethers. In my opinion the York wheel is much less modern looking & preserves the historical atmosphere much better than a modern looking Brent . Now, If you aren't used to a kick wheel the muscles behind your right knee will let you know they're not happy with you if you throw for hours so take lots of breaks & don't kick too hard. I got my York from Axner in Florida.
I hope this helps!
Logan
