YoYoFactory Jr. Team – Gennadiy Malinin & Nikita Apon

By

Just got a pair of great videos from Russian YoYoFactory Junior Team members Gennadiy Malinin and Nikita Apon. Huge thanks to Sergey Solovyev who shot both of these, as well as the Innovation Movement x Vladimir Glazkov video we just posted.

These videos show some really great tricks from both of these players, and we’re looking forward to seeing more from them in the future as their style solidifies. It’s incredibly exciting to see how much quality yoyo play is coming from these young players. My only question is when are going to start seeing them competing more prevalently outside of Russia?

Innovation Movement x Vladimir Glazkov

By

Another gem from Innovation Movement, and some incredibly smooth and thoughtful yoyo play from Vladimir Glazkov.

Seriously, what the hell is going on in Russia? It seems like every week there are a couple of dozen videos from amazing players…I know it’s a huge country but at some point you’d think they would slow down a little, right?

NOPE. KEEP IT COMING!

YoYoFactory Presents – Czech Mate Japan

By

Vashek Kroutil’s new signature model YoYoFactory yoyo, the CZM84VK, is based on the Rockstar body shape and seems to be off to a running start. Check out this video filmed during its high-profile launch in Japan during the festivities for 4/4, Japanese National YoYo Day.

From YoYoFactory:

Vashek Kroutil travelled from the Czech Republic to Japan for the launch of his new signature yoyo the Czech Mate (CZM84VK). Filming his edit in a day we threw the Czech Mate to a few legends and some up and comers in Japan to see what they could do.

Featuring Vashek Kroutil, Ginji Miura, John Ando, Reiki Sekiya, and Kento Muraoka.

YoYo Camp 2013 – Oberhausen, Germany

By

The German yoyo scene has been in great shape for years, and one of the coolest things they do is a yearly “yoyo camp” where a bunch of players basically go on vacation together. It’s a pretty unique outing, and TYM.de has been posting videos since they started doing it in 2000. This years video stars Pac from Berlin….because he’s awesome, and anytime he’s in a video, it’s starring him. It also features Duncan Crew’s Jeff Coons, dressed like a cult leader. No idea why.

For your viewing enjoyment, below is the video from the first event in 2000 so that you can compare tricks, hair, t-shirts, and marvel at the fact that even though he has a child of his own now, Jumper does not seem to be aging at all.

Kendama Video – Li Ho Cheung

By

Kendama.dk has a video contest going right now on their Facebook page, and it’s getting some great entries. But Li Ho Cheung just absolutely blew our minds with this one….pretty sure that about half the tricks in this video are actually impossible in Earth gravity. There’s just no damn way.

 

The Evolution of YoYo ft. Glenn Godsey

By

General Yo team member Glenn Godsey gives us an oral history of his life as a yoyo player beginning in the 1940’s in this great 10-minute short film by David Gilbert.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have these type of conversations with quite a few yoyo players over the years…Duncan demonstrators from the 50s and 60s, serial competitors from the same time period, and it’s truly a beautiful thing to hear a lifetime worth of recollections about this art/hobby/sport of ours. Make some time to watch and enjoy this film, and the next time you’re out playing some where and someone comes up and says “You know, I used to be a yoyo champ…” take some time and get their story.

Film by David Gilbert.
