US National YoYo Contest Moves To Los Angeles

June 26, 2015 By Steve Brown

nationals_stage (1)

2015 US National YoYo Contest – Finals Venue / Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center

We’ve got big news! The rumor mill has been working overtime since word leaked out that the National YoYo League was working on (finally) moving the US Nationals out of Chico, California. Well now it’s official….the 2015 US National YoYo Contest will be held in Redondo Beach, part of the greater Los Angeles area in southern California.

A new website for the event is currently in the works and should be live by the end of next week. The NYYL began working on this new location when two former National YoYo Champions, Tyler Severance and Patrick Borgerding, approached the NYYL with a proposal for moving the event. The proposal was promising, and with the help of these two players the NYYL was able to secure finals and prelim venues and make this move official. This is great news for all Nationals competitors, as the new location is significantly easier and less expensive to travel to, not to mention the fact that now you’re in Los Angeles with plenty of other activities available that are not the sad, sketchy bar at the Holiday Inn.

Check out the official press release below from the NYYL.

This year marks significant advances in the National Yo-Yo Contest. Exciting changes are under way to better serve the expanding growth of a quickly evolving youth oriented sport.

Annually since 1993 (22 years) the Contest has been held in Chico, CA, home of the National Yo-Yo Museum. The Museum’s mission is to provide national exposure to the sport and encourage kids to learn to play with the Yo-Yo.

In 2002, the National Yo-Yo League was developed to attract new players, and provide a foundation to officiate and coordinate all yo-yo contests. The League will now enlarge it’s role and perpetuate support for the National Yo-Yo Contest. Commencing in 2015 the annual Contest will be held in a progression of metropolitan areas across the country, starting with the southern California city of Redondo Beach on September 25th & 26th.

This is a larger Contest venue, minutes from a large airport, and in one of the nations largest media markets, and it will enable a greater number of kids to be introduced to the sport and begin their rise in competitive play.

The National Yo-Yo Museum & League will continue to be based in Chico.

Three Minutes From The Cup – Top 5A Contenders

September 30, 2013 By Steve Brown

Three Minutes From The Cup

Nationals is coming up fast…the best players in the United States will descend on Chico, California for their moment on stage to compete for the title of US National YoYo Champion. All this week we’ll be featuring our top picks for each division!

5A (Counterweight) Division

Tyler Severance – 2x National Champion

Defending US National 5A Champion Tyler Severance showed up with one of the best 5A routines of all time at this years World YoYo Contest, and he is definitely at the top of the game. Severance has shown in recent years that he’s getting steadier and steadier on stage…where in the past you could see his pacing start to slip towards the end of his routines, now he stays steady and true until the end. Tyler is first in line for the cup this year, and everyone else is going to have a hard fight ahead of them to take his title.

Miguel Correa- 4x National Champion

Miguel Correa sat out most of the 2013 contest season to re-focus on work and family, but his level of play is so high that it might not make a difference. All it takes for Miggy to win is for him to wake up feeling good…with him in the mix, everyone better bring their A-game. That said, his teammate Tyler Severance is his #1 competition…we know where Tyler’s play is, but Miggy is coming in with some mystery around him which should make for an exciting head-to-head between these two reigning champs.

Sebastian Brock

Sebastian Brock is one of the best 5A players that no one ever talks about. Sebby has said himself that he doesn’t have as much confidence in his 5A play as he does in his 1A routines; but he seems to be the only one with that opinion. His counterweight tricks are clean, inventive, and stand out from the field in a way that crowds like and judges can follow. As the 2010 National Champion in the 1A division, Sebby is in a good position to be one of the incredibly few people to win a national title in different divisions.

Jacob Elliot

Relatively new on the scene, Jacob Elliot made a lot of noise at Worlds with his incredibly fast and seemingly out-of-control style in the 5A finals. His freestyle had people flinching at the back of the room, waiting for a yoyo to shoot off the stage. But it never did, and the question for Nationals is: will his speed help him rack up the points to win, or will he outplay the judges’ clickers?

Chase Baxter

Chase Baxter is an up-and-coming talent who is quickly becoming a fan favorite. He’s got an easy-going style on stage that makes him easy to score, but his consistency just isn’t there yet. If he has a good day in the park, Chase could go clean and hit Top 5…but he’s a wildcard and it’s hard to tell what he can do.

Shane Lubecker

Shane is another up-and-coming player who made a strong showing at Worlds in the counterweight division. His trick density isn’t quite there yet, but he’s got some really original stuff and when he’s on his game, his trick construction and pacing are really nice. Judges score what they can follow, and Shane is good at playing to the judges. He’s a contender for sure, but he’s going to have to go cleaner than he managed at Worlds if he wants a shot at Top 5.
