Shinnosuke Ishizuka – Spiderman x CLYW (NSFW)

February 12, 2014 By Steve Brown

Shinnosuke Ishizuka is such a great player…even more so when he’s wearing a Spider-Man mask and just totally screwing around.

Yoyo used is the CLYW Yeti.

Pan American International Yo-Yo Contest Announced

February 12, 2014 By Patrick Borgerding

There has been a lot of talk since the restructuring of the World Yo-Yo Contest by the IYYF about the possibility of creating a contest similar in function to the European Yo-Yo Championship and Asia Pacific Championship in America. Due to the number of National Contests that are now being held, which is a great sign about the expansion of the community, continental competitions will now be the only contests to seed to the World competition; however, America previously did not have a contest for Pan-America, thus Gregory Cohen (previous organizer of the World Yo-Yo Contest) and Isaac Kanarek (Chair of Mexican Yo-Yo Association) have teamed with Johnnie DelValle and Bill De Bois Blanc to bring the inaugural Pan American International Yo-Yo Contest (which would make the acronym PAIN–I’m not opposed to calling it this).

The contest will be held at the, apparently, timeless Rosen Plaza in Orlando, Florida, the previous home to the World Yo-Yo Contest from 2000-2013. This is a big step in the yo-yo community as the contest circuit is becoming more complete and well defined; however, the main concern with the World Yo-Yo Contest was that it had run stale at the Rosen, so it will be interesting to see if there are any substantial changes to inject some excitement into the new contest. With Isaac’s involvement, hopefully some positive changes come to fruition for contests held at the Rosen.

Keep an eye out on the website for when registration opens and additional info: Pan American International Yo-Yo Competition.

Here is an official statement from Contest Director Gregory Cohen:

After a lot of work, from a lot of people, the PAI yo-yo contest is now confirmed. It will be one of the three events that seed into the finals at the World Yo-Yo Contest, wich this year will be held in Prague. The contest will seed winners from every national yo-yo contest in North and South America. In addition to the Seeded freestyles that seed into the WYYC, this year we will also have a non-seeded freestyle division the will only be one minute freestyles (We’re open to naming suggestions here.) This is intended for players that are not at the top level to let them compete, and to let them have the exprience of a contest of this size.

We are happy to have the staff that has supported past Orlando events back, and the staff list will grow soon as we finalize staff positions.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Orlando.

EYYC 2014 – Top 5A Contenders

February 12, 2014 By Steve Brown

EYYC 2014

EYYC 2014 is just around the corner…time to take a look at the top contenders in each division! First up we’re going to take a look at the 5A (counterweight) division. Once the most fiercely competitive division after 1A, the popularity of counterweight has waned in recent years. There’s still plenty of talent here, though, and the top competitive counterweight players in the world keep getting better and better!

Daniel Budai

Country: Hungary
City: Budapest
Age: 25
Sponsored by YoYoFactory, JojoBolt.hu

Daniel took Second Place in last year’s European YoYo Championship in the 5A Division, and is a solid fixture in the Top Five for the counterweight division of most European contests. After last year’s loss to Jan Hlinka, Daniel seems to be excited to prove himself as the top counterweight player in Europe. And since we don’t see Jan registered for the counterweight division this year, Daniel is definitely the top competitor for the title of European Champion!

David Molnar

Country: Hungary
City: Budapest
Age: 21
Sponsored by C3yoyodesign

After winning the counterweight division at this year Czech Nationals, David Molnar is on the fast track to the European title. The progress of his play from one year to the next has been stunning, and we’re all looking forward to seeing what David brings to his hometown stage in Budapest.

Maciek Cwynar

Country: Poland
City: Złotoryja
Age: 19
Sponsored by C3yoyodesign, Backspin

Last year, Maciek took Third Place in the counterweight division at EYYC, and we have it on good authority that he’s practiced up and ready to move up in the rankings this year. The field of top 5A players in Europe isn’t very broad, but it’s filled with skill and ambition, and Maciek is definitely gunning for the top spot this year.

George Stoyanov

Country: Bulgaria
City: Sofia
Age: 18
Sponsored by YoYoJam

2013 Bulgarian National Champion George Stoyanov is another top contender for the EYYC 2014 title in the counterweight division. While his performance at Bulgarian Nationals 2013 was a little shaky, his 6th Place finish at the 2013 EYYC was noticeably better.

Aaron Davis – Ghost Rolls Tutorial

February 12, 2014 By Steve Brown

Another solid tutorial from Aaron Davis…this trick is so good! I’ve got a weakness for a good repeater for sure, and this one fits the bill…easy to understand, something that lends itself well to smooth, continuous reps, and you can do it while staring blankly at the camera and drooling just a little.

Yoyo used is the Triton by G Squared.
