2017 World YoYo Contest – Iceland
This years World YoYo Contest will be held in Iceland in just 6 weeks! Here’s what you need to know:
- The next registration deadline is coming up soon…after that, competitor fee jumps from $30 to $60. Registration is available HERE.
- If you are registering to compete, you still have to purchase a day pass! In previous years this was all done at the same time, but due to venue restrictions you must purchase your day pass separately. Do that HERE.
If you haven’t uploaded your music yet, do that HERE.(Music upload isn’t available yet, but should be soon.)- Submission deadline for the Art & Performance Division has been extended to July 10th! Details HERE.
- There’s a good FAQ on the website about Iceland HERE.
- There is no specific “contest hotel” this year. Because Iceland is small, the lodging is going to be more like past years of EYYC…a sort of “players village” with everyone scattered at multiple hotels, hostels, and Air BnBs all very close to each other. There are 7 different options listed on the event site HERE, plus you can search AirBnB if you want something a little more private.
- Freestyle rules are HERE. If you are competing, it’s your responsibility to know these rules inside and out. If you have questions, please contact the IYYF for clarification as soon as possible.
Good luck, and see you there!

Paul Dang (Sorta) Leaves One Drop
Paul Dang is leaving his job at the One Drop shop for a new city and new opportunities. He’ll still be on the team, and involved with OD as a sponsored player, but he is moving away from Eugene. For those who have grown used to his shop videos and his calming presence, this is a huge blow. But for those who just wish the guy well and are happy to see him happy, it’s a great step forward for a solid guy. Cheers to you, Paul!
Bonus: a few of the Tech Creator / OD folks got together and made a Dang tribute video. Awwww.
First Look – G Squared Ghost YoYo
We have your first look at the new machined plastic yoyo from G Squared! Check out full specs and more pics below, along with details on the release direct from G Squared.
The Ghost is G2’s first attempt at a plastic yoyo, but this is no ordinary plastic. Jake decided to design a yoyo using PTFE (Teflon), you know the stuff the is used as a coating for your non-stick pots and pans. Besides the obvious grindability reasons, PTFE was used to take advantage of the plastics higher density. Allowing for thinner walls and more aggressive weight distribution than most plastic yoyos on the market today.
The Ghost will be released in white with multiple hub colorways throughout the summer starting in late July. Estimated retail is $65. Want one before then? You might be lucky enough to snag one from the G2 booth at Ohio States or SEC.
Both the design and play were greatly inspired from the Banshee which can easily been seen from the angles in catch zone, along with the speed and agility felt on the string.
G Squared Ghost Specs:
Diameter – 57mm
Width – 43.04 mm
Weight – 66.5 grams
Material – PTFE
Gap – 4.5mm
Response – G19 Pads
Bearing – Size C (Ships with Boss Rage and Wrath bearings)
