What’s Bergy got cooking? I know he’s been practicing because he offered to set me up with some tricks for 365yoyotricks.com…but then he didn’t, so he’s been stockpiling tricks. Probably awesome tricks. Probably lots of them.
Whatcha got, Bergy?

YoYoDrop – TMBR Toys Turner
TMBR Toys has a new model of hand-turned wooden yoyos available, the Turner!
Round and classic, but I don’t want to say “old timey”. Turner’s gap is tall and straight, with a small cutaway to give a similar feel and catch like Baldwin, but a bit more stable on a trapeze. 58 grams 2-1/4″ diameter 1-3/8″ width 1/8″ gap Standard walnut axle and cap. *Exotic wood axle and cap are now available* Peace! Love! Wood!

Harrison Lee In The News
CLYW wunderkind Harrison Lee got some great press from BurnabyNewsLeader.com as he gears up to compete in the 2013 Western Canadian Regional YoYo Competition.
Check out the excerpt below, and follow the link for the full article.
Harrison Lee had just been practicing the yo-yo for four months when he entered his first competition, the Western Canadian Regionals. He finished second. He was 11 years old.
Two years later, the Burnaby boy is ranked fourth in Canada, he’s sponsored by a yo-yo manufacturer and he has his own line of specially coloured yo-yos.
Lee’s slender fingers dance through the neon-coloured string, weaving it in intricate patters as the grey and blue-splattered yo-yo spins perpetually at its end. He’s putting in two to three hours a day designing and perfecting new tricks that will bedazzle the four judges during his two-minute session at Saturday’s third Western Canadian Regionals, to be held at the National Nikkei Museum and Heritage Centre.
“Whenever I’m not eating or sleeping, I’m yo-yoing,” says Lee, who owns 40 yo-yos, many of them prizes from competitions he’s won since taking up the hobby.
