Ben Conde – Around The World 12
Ben Conde is an aspiring YouTube star, traveling through China where no one has access to YouTube. This makes him 83% less special. But we still love him.

America’s YoYo Champion ft. Philip & Stuart White
Philip White is the 2016 National 4A Champion, and his brother Stuart is a National Finalist in both the 3A and 4A divisions. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team the White brothers.

First Look – Japan Technology Aire
Japan Technology has revealed the new signature offstring yoyo for Bryan Figueroa, the Aire! Check out specs and details from Japan Technology below. It looks pretty amazing…can’t wait to try one!
The Signature model of Bryan Figueroa, who has many titles, is AIRE.
AIRE is a Bryan Figueroa style remake from JT’s first model Kamui. It contains the characteristics of the past JT models.
It certainly has the high quality basic performance, and also, this model’s strength is the bounce ability when it drops on the floor. JT had been dealing with this problem for a long time. We used to think that thinning the wings was the only solution. It bounces back high when it drops on the carpet. However, players have to play gently on hard floor because the wings are thin and weak. Also, its spinning force is not strong enough because the wings are light, so some players avoid using this model. AIRE solved this problem with its recovery skill.
On soft floor, it bounces back to a player while making a circular orbit. On hard floor, it bounces back straight to a player. This was made possible by combining four points in its design.
Inheritance, evolution, and fusion made it possible for Kamui’s successor, AIRE, with a new body and the ability to revolutionize.
Japan Technology Aire Specs:
Diameter: 78.0mm
Width: 58.5mm
Weight: 75.2g
Bearing: Size C (Flat)
Pad : JT Pad（Large)

Japan Technology – The Eye of Eagle
Yuki Uchida gives up some truly inspiring 4A in his new video for Japan Technology. As a division, 4A seems to be on the rise at most major contests yet we still don’t see many videos that feature it…what gives? Get us those videos, people! High five to Yuki for this one though…killer stuff.

Ben Conde – Facing Failure
Show of hands, who else has completely died on stage?
Yep. Plenty of us.
Ben Conde does it with style though, as he breaks down his 2016 World YoYo Contest fail with enough comedy to soften the harsh blow of defeat. Hopefully, anyway.
Yoyo used to hit himself in the face is the YoYoFactory Flight.
