Andrew Bergen – Joyride

By

Check out some footage from Andrew Bergen, shot at the 2017 World YoYo Contest in Iceland. Players always spend a fair bit of time just milling around outside of whatever venue a contest is in, so Recess took the opportunity to film Bergy just hanging out and throwing tricks because let’s face it…most players are at their best when they are just knocking off tricks for fun. Bergy made a hell of a showing on stage at this year’s contest, but it’s always great to see him just kicking back and working out ideas.

Yoyo used is the Recess Joyride.

2017 World YoYo Contest – Iceland

By

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!
