YoYo News From Around The Web

February 24, 2013 By Steve Brown

Here’s a compilation of yoyo news around the web that we found…enjoy!

TechCrunch gives us an absolutely painful listing of every single yoyo-related pun imaginable in their non-coverage of two Kickstarter projects involving yoyos, and one involving a fire flying disc of some kind that they lumped in with yoyos for no discernible reason.

Korean pop fansite AllKPop.com gives us some great coverage of Hiroyuki Suzuki’s recent appearance on Star King with members of k-pop group KARA.

KomoNews.com published a great photo gallery from the Pacific NorthWest Regional YoYo Contest.
