2014 IYYC – Sebby vs. Rojas

July 18, 2014 By Steve Brown

Duncan International YoYo Championship IYYC

Duncan’s International YoYo Championship is just around the corner, and they’ve announced an incredible roster of talent that they are flying in to compete in their event! Some of the top players from around the world are being flown to Orlando to compete against each other for more than $17,000 in cash prizes! Who will come out on top? We’ll be taking a look at some of the players Duncan has invited, and we want to know: who do YOU think is going to win?

Our first match-up: Sebastian Brock vs. Anthony Rojas

Duncan Toys IYYC - Sebby vs Rojas

Sebastian Brock is the 2010 US National 1A Champion, and considered to be both a technical and creative powerhouse. His unique style has earned him a ton of fans, and his recent move to the Duncan Crew of sponsored players is viewed by many as a move to cement his legacy as one of the best players of all time. His recent fourth place finish at the Triple Crown of YoYo seemed like a strong warm-up for IYYC, and if he brings that same routine absolutely clean, he’s got a shot at a Top 3 finish.

Anthony Rojas is the current Bay Area Classic and California State Champion, two of the toughest 1A contests in the country. Some have argued that BAC is harder to win than US Nationals! His creativity is undeniable, and he’s been on the short list of favorite players among serious players for years. Now that Anthony has finally mastered the art of bringing his unique style and over-the-top creativity to the contest format, he seems to be unstoppable. Will he take home big cash from IYYC?

Who do you think will place higher in the 1A Division at IYYC…Sebby or Anthony? Cast your vote below!

44FESTA Vol.08 report

July 18, 2014 By Rafael Matsunaga

It’s time for another report from 44FESTA all the way from Japan!

44FESTA has been going on for almost one year, and this edition’s special treat was a 44CLASH exhibit, with all sorts of memorabilia and goods from the world’s best indie yo-yo contest, which is back this year after a one year hiatus!

This edition’s mini contest was a team offstring relay contest. Yo-yo events need more team events, the constant shoegazing is pretty awkward at times. 🙂

The freestyle contest was quite solid, as usual, with Hajime Miura in great shape showing what we can expect from him in Prague next month!

Check his mind-blowing freestyle and the top results below:

  1. Hajime Miura
  2. Daiki Tanaka
  3. Yamato Murata
  4. Mattew Poon
  5. Yamato Fujiwara

All freestyle videos can be found on the 44FESTA website!

The next edition marks the first anniversary of 44FESTA, and will be held on August 3rd. In addition to the usual events, a Trick Battle and the 44FESTA Award will be the special attractions. Don’t miss it!

VYZ Contest Freestyles

July 18, 2014 By Steve Brown

Seriously, anyone want to take a guess how many yoyo contests there are in the Czech Republic every year? I feel like every time I look up, another one happened. For a country that is 1/125th the size of the United States, I could swear they have at least as many contests as we do. It’s awesome, don’t get me wrong, just crazy!

Check out the top freestyles below from the recent VYZ event in the Czech Republic.

1A Advanced Division

1st Place – Robert Kucera

2nd Place – Matous Tomes

3rd Place – David Kreibich

X Division

1st Place – Petr Kavka

2nd Place – Matyas Racek

3rd Place – Petr Mika
