Walter Trailer

April 30, 2013 By Steve Brown

WALTER IS COMING!

The long-awaited signature model yoyo of Spencer Berry is almost here, and we’ve got a video to prove it.

Spencer, Blake Freeman, and Robbie Graham took some time to throw some production samples around and generally flaunt their awesomeness. If this doesn’t look like the most fun yoyo ever, you need to re-think your priorities.

Walter is available for pre-order at SpencerBerry.com.

CLYW Bip Bop Giveaway Contest Winners!

April 30, 2013 By Steve Brown

We had over 600 entries for the CLYW Bip Bop Cliff Giveaway…thanks so much to everyone who entered! The creativity on display was amazing! What started as kind of a personal favorite for us turned into a validation that picture tricks are alive and well in modern yoyoing.

The judges for the contest were Chris Mikulin (CLYW), John W. Robot (CLYW) and me, Steve Brown (YoYoNews). And here are your winners!

1st Place Winner – Malcolm Chiu (Singapore)

Malcolm had 15 entries into the contest and at least half of them could have won. The complexity and density of his various star variations is incredible, but this one was our favorite! Malcolm wins the grand prize, a CLYW Bip Bop Cliff, 100 Kitty Strings, and a CLYW Sticker Pack.

CLYW Bip Bop 1st Place - Malcolm Chiu

2nd Place – Drew Tetz (USA)

Drew has been a long-time picture trick aficionado, and the simple sweetness of his tricks tends to carefully hide their complexity and creativity. Plus: no one ever looks like they’re having as much fun as Drew! Drew wins the second prize, a CLYW 5-panel camouflage cap, 100 Kitty Strings, and a CLYW Sticker Pack.

3rd Place – Stas Litvinov (Kazakhstan)

Stas had a handful of unique and creative entries, but his “Birdie in a Cage” was everything we love about picture tricks. A simple concept executed really, really well, “Birdie in a Cage” is just a really pretty trick that takes an old favorite and makes it new again. Stas wins the third prize, 100 Kitty Strings and a CLYW Sticker Pack.

Cabin Tutorial – Bueller Wheel

April 29, 2013 By Steve Brown

Another Cabin Tutorial from CLYW and Charles Haycock. Not sure what’s more impressive…the trick, or that he can get away with arm moves wearing such a huge flannel shirt.

April 29, 2013 By Steve Brown

PanGottic – Logic of Nothing R&D 2

April 29, 2013 By Steve Brown

This proof of concept video for PanGottic’s “Logic of Nothing” show is sheer brilliance.  They spent their second R&D period at Prema Arts Centre a couple of weeks ago, focusing on the circus aspect of the show and exploring ways of interacting and combining the circus skills and contraptions. Joe Clarke came along on the last day and, has again, put together a brilliant video.

Welcome to the world of Oscar Boffin; a slightly obsessive compulsive hoarder, inventor and a man who has filled his home with gadgets and contraptions, to make his life easier (or harder, depending on how well they work).

Logic of Nothing is a Heath Robinson/Rube Goldberg inspired piece of non-verbal Circus-Theatre. An exploration into a relationship between man, circus and contraption using a blend of clown, juggling, magic and invention, all set to a unique live soundtrack of sounds and samples taken from the contraptions themselves.

The show premiers at Circomedia in Bristol in October 2013.

Shinji Saito x Turning Point Leviathan 4β

April 29, 2013 By Steve Brown

Somewhere in Tokyo, Shinji Saito is still an amazing yoyo player. His crazy slack Jamaican Flag move at 0:10 is simple and elegant and completely original…another great example of the natural genius and flow of Shinji’s yoyo play.

365yoyotricks.com – Weekly Roundup

365yoyotricks.com Weekly Roundup

 

It’s Monday morning, and that means it’s time for you to witness the furious awesomeosity of the incalculable creativity of the incomprehensible  something something something whatever.

Takeshi Kamisato sets the bar high for the week with a Snap to Green Triangle. Damn.

 

Spencer Berry gets his fixed axle on with an EH from SPYY.

 

More fixed axle goodness as I find a Spintastics Technic axle in my junk drawer, throw it in a YoYoFactory Velocity, and start getting weird.

 

I’ve made up hundreds of tricks, but I still have no idea which ones people are going to get excited about. For some reason, this one got a lot of praise. Still no idea why.

 

Here a stall, there a stall, everywhere a stall stall…

 

An experiment in minimalism…what are the simplest components you can create something new from? I chose Trapeze and a Split Bottom Mount. Turned out nice, I think.

 

And Rafael Matsunaga wraps things up with a benchmark trick in the history of counterweight play, the One-Handed Helicopter. Still beautiful, still really damn hard.
