CLYW Toques

December 18, 2012 By Steve Brown

 

CLYW decided that their rad collection of 5-panel caps just wasn’t enough for our heads, and now they’ve announced these amazing toques! Available in two colorways, “Hulk Smash” and “Gold Nugget”, these head-warmers are made in the USA and are guaranteed to make you feel at least 63% more like a lumberjack. Expect to see these super-limited noggin cozies show up soon at YoYoExpert.com.

Figure 8 Loop – Trick History (UPDATED)

December 18, 2012 By Steve Brown

This video popped up on YouTube and there’s apparently been a lot of conversation about it on Twitter. Unfortunately, I can’t read Japanese and I don’t have a Twitter client that will translate so I have no idea what’s being said.

But what I hope is being said is that this is, to my knowledge, the first time this trick has been captured on video in spite of the fact that it’s been around since at least the 1940s, possibly earlier. I’ve seen illustrations for the trick, and I remember talking to Dale Oliver about it in 1997, but he couldn’t do it. I first saw it done by Jon Gates around 200o-ish, but it was one of those late night oddities and we all just kinda went “Oh hey, cool” and left it at that.

So this video is possibly the first time this trick has ever been filmed, and certainly the first time the trick has been seen by 99% of all yoyo players worldwide.

Which is really pretty awesome.

———-

UPDATE: Rafael Matsunaga pointed out that the Figure 8 Loop was mentioned as the “Dragon Loop”, an insanely difficult and largely unattainable trick from the old “Chousoku Spinner” Hyper YoYo comics published in the late 90s. He sent me this scan, which is friggin’ awesome.

Alex Hattori – Collid3r

December 18, 2012 By Steve Brown

YoYoJam has released a new video featuring 3A wunderkind Alex Hattori to promote his new signature yoyo, the Collid3r. Alex has a tremendous amount of skill for someone who’s only been playing for a few years, and he’s definitely a leading contender for any contest he enters. No release date or price yet for the Collid3r.
