Danny ‘Dano the Mano’ Amir on YoYoRadio – Friday, June 7th

June 6, 2013 By Joe Mitchell

Dano The Mano

Danny Amir, a.k.a. ‘Dano the Mano,’ will be the guest on YoYoRadio on Friday, June 7th. Danny is the announcer for Professional Wakeboarding’s “King of Wake” series, but he’s also a yoyoer! Danny started yoyoing back in the yo-yo boom of the 1990’s and recently has rediscovered his love for yoyoing. He’s also partnering with Duncan to raise money for RideforCi.com, a charity raising money to fight cystic fibrosis. Ride For Ci is a campaign started by Nicola Butler, a 3-time World Champion professional wakeboarder who lost a close friend in 2013. Tune in Friday to hear Danny talk about yoyoing and wakeboarding.

The guys will also talk about what went on on National Yo-Yo Day, June 6th.

YoYoJam Presents The Surge

June 6, 2013 By Steve Brown

YoYoJam Surge

For years we have asked the question. Can the affordable all plastic yo-yo play like an all metal yo-yo? Can you get that solid feel and momentum from a yo-yo at less then half the price? Taking what was learned from the leading beginner’s choice, the ‘Classic’, YoYoJam accomplishes the impossible. Feel the power in the SURGE.

Surge has everything you would come to expect in a high end advanced yo-yo. It features YoYoJam’s signature Solid Spin Axle system, silicone response, and a smooth spinning Speed Bearing (10 Balls). Off your first throw you can FEEL the power of it’s spin surging on and off the string.

With Surge designing a solid feel was not only the goal but the true challenge. A two piece plastic composite body accomplishes this in ways no other yo-yo can, giving you supreme rim weighting and that solid feel you just will not find in any other plastic yo-yo. It is the plastic yo-yo for the modern yo-yo player built competition ready out of the box.

Plastic yo-yos are not just toys anymore. Put the power of the competition-ready SURGE to work for you.

Diameter: 58.56 mm / 2.30″
Width: 41.45 mm / 1.632″
Weight: 70.85 grams
Bearing: YoYoJam Speed Bearing

Happy National YoYo Day!

June 6, 2013 By Steve Brown

June 6th is “National YoYo Day”, a day set aside by yoyo players to celebrate the birthday of Donald Duncan Sr., the entrepreneur who brought mass-produced yoyos to the United States (among other things).

Of course, it’s been since determined that his birthday is actually June 8th, not June 6th, but hey…we’re yoyo players, and we’ll do as we please!

Where’s your long-form birth certificate, Mr. Duncan? HMMM!?!?

To celebrate, our friends at YoYoExpert have a store-wide 15% off sale going, with a special bonus: every single order placed before noon EST on Friday, June 7th gets a full, unreleased deck of 2011 YoYoExpert trading cards!
