YoYoAcquaintance just dropped a new video of Christopher Chia! Hard to go wrong with two+ minutes of new yoyoing from someone as talented as Christopher. Yoyo used is the Superfly Remix by sOMEThiNG.

CRW VID TWO
DAAAAAAAAAMN.
Harold Owens III has spent a chunk of the summer in Arizona teaching yoyo classes with Tyler Severance and working on his contest freestyles. Tyler, Harold, and madman Boyd Seth took a break from practicing to put together this video and it’s flat-out baller. Pretty much every trick in here is pure gold, and the lo-fi 80s-looking video being set to Eddie Murphy’s “Party All The Time” just puts it over the top.
Watch. Enjoy. Repeat.

A minute and a half of Shinji Saito is worth stopping whatever you are doing to watch. There’s a reason he’s got twelve World YoYo titles. Damn.
Alec Campbell – Motel 8
CLYW player Alec Campbell gets all Kubricky in this quick new video shot in a creepy hotel hallway. Yoyo used is the CLYW Yeti.
