YoYoRadio To Break News About World YoYo Contest

February 6, 2013 By Steve Brown

World YoYo Contest

This week’s YoYoRadio broadcast will feature an interview with Ondrej Sedivy, Rafael Matsunaga and Hironori Mii. The three international yoyoers will make an announcement on YoYoRadio about the future of the hotly-contested World Yo-Yo Contest, and YoYoRadio will be the first place they will make this announcement.

Looks like we’re finally going to get some answers to the tremendous number of questions raised by the announcement last August that a group of yoyo players were actively working towards creating a rival World YoYo Contest after several years of failed negotiations with the current World YoYo Contest organizer to improve and move the event.

The current World YoYo Contest has been stagnant for quite a few years now, and while a great deal of thanks are due to Greg Cohen, who took over the contest more than a decade ago, it’s clear that it’s now time for the event to evolve beyond what is currently being offered. While the manner in which this “takeover” was held was certainly counterproductive, no one can deny that hiding the contest away in a hotel ballroom for the past decade hasn’t helped the sport or industry in the slightest. We’re greatly looking forward to hearing this broadcast, and will be tuned in with everyone else to find out what is happening.

CLYW’s Petr Kavka Practice Video

February 6, 2013 By Steve Brown

Here’s a new practice video from CLYW‘s Petr Kavka!

The early days of head-cam videos were vomit-inducing….they were so jittery and low-frame rate that it looked like someone yoyoing through strobe lights on a rollercoaster. But with the new generation of GoPro cameras and players learning to isolate head movements while throwing means that now we can get the absolute best possible views of yoyo tricks. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again…it’s a GREAT time to be a yoyo player. 🙂
