Riccardo Fraolini – The Seed As I See It
Riccardo Fraolini, one of Italy’s most creative players, just dropped this 1A clip showcasing his new signature throw “The Seed” from XCube. The video is a dreamy first person POV smorgasbord of neat concepts and saturated colors, with everything from behind-the-back finger spin transitions to a one-handed frog in a bag. If you want more European yo-yo fun, you should definitely check out the R-Special videos on Riccardo’s youtube channel.
Kendama Featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered”
NPR’s “All Things Considered” ran a great piece on the recent surge in popularity of the kendama, and did a nice profile piece on 9-year old kendama player Logan Tosta. Always great to see skill toys (even if they aren’t our beloved yoyos) getting national press!
Kanto Cigar Box Practice
Found a great cigar box juggling video from Japan…it’s pretty long, clocking in at almost 8 minutes, but it’s worth the watch. File under “Visual Inspiration”.
The first large cigar box meetup in the Kanto area (plus a special Kansai guest!), held at Showa Kinen Park in Tachikawa. A healthy turnout, hopefully this will encourage other people to go along to the next one! For more info, follow Kantou Cigarbox on Twitter.
Adegle YoYos Presents – Acceleration
Guo Ziwei from Adegle YoYo’s sponsored player team shows off the Accel yoyo from their GravityDrive Series in this new video. It’s a solid 2+ minutes of play in a shipping yard filled with containers…really a great looking video. Nice work!
YoYoTalk Interview – Spencer Berry
Check out this great video interview with Spencer Berry where he talks about his history as a yoyo player and his recently released yoyo, the Walter.
Walters are still available in pretty limited quantities at SpencerBerry.com.
