Freshly Dirty – Cleveland or Bust

October 11, 2017 By Steve Brown

Freshly Dirty just surprised the hell out of me with this new video. A look back at the 2016 World YoYo Contest filmed entirely on a vintage VHS camera, this video clocks in at over 12 minutes long but it really cruises by, and it’s a truly endearing, lo-fi look back at the stuff that makes a contest the most fun – hanging out with your friends. See you all back in Cleveland in 2019!

Ben Conde Basecamp CLYW YoYofactory

CLYW and YoYoFactory have teamed up for a massive collaboration called BASECAMP, and it’s launching at the 2016 World YoYo Contest! The new collaborative brand will feature yoyo designs inspired by models from both companies, as well as new designs created collaboratively and other accessories like patches, stickers, tin mugs, and more.

The official release party and the first opportunity to buy BASECAMP releases will be Thursday, August 4th at SPACES Gallery, a short walk from the main contest venue & hotel. The party starts at 8 PM, and there will be a food truck for anyone who wants to pick up some dinner. Check out the official announcement below, as well as some teaser images of the new yoyos. You can also head over to BasecampYoYo.com for more teaser images of the new lineup.

We’re excited to announce BASECAMP, a new collaboration with our friends at YoYoFactory!

BASECAMP is where we all come together. A place to take refuge, a place to make plans and share stories…a place where one adventure ends and another begins.

This collaboration between CLYW and YoYoFactory is about working to create something that forges a new path forward for both companies, together or apart.

Sometimes, the best view isn’t from the summit.

In The News – Colin Beckford

Cleveland yoyo player and recent addition to the Recess Intl. team Colin Beckford picked up a nice interview in the recent wave of press for the announcement of Cleveland, Ohio as the host city for the 2016 World YoYo Contest. Check out an excerpt below, along with a link to the full article.

Colin Beckford, a 15-year-old junior at St. Ignatius High School, practices two to four hours a day. He doesn’t play video games, he doesn’t watch television. This past summer he beat out hundreds to win the 2015 International Yo-Yo Championship (IYYC), which ranks him 17th on the planet. Beckford is an international yo-yo champion. You read that right – yo-yos.

In pursuit of excellence, this past summer alone, Beckford traveled to Orlando, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. In Minnesota he competed in the Midwest Regional Yo-Yo Championship and won in the 1A and 3A categories.* In Michigan he completed in the Mideast Regional Yo-Yo Championship, where he won 1A and 3A categories as well. In August it was the International Yo-Yo Championship in Anaheim, where he took first place in the 1A category, beating over 100 competitors.

Beckford’s mom and dad, Dawn and Nelson, couldn’t be more proud. “At a very young age, Colin was fascinated by the alphabet — he could recite it forwards or backwards,” Nelson says. “Then it was other alphabets, then weather, then maps and countries. His mind, his personality is to grasp and devour. He simply isn’t done with something unless he’s mastered it.”

Beckford’s parents point to his tenacity, focus and skill “[Yo-yoing] is not like throwing and catching a ball,” Dawn says. “There’s a lot more to it – it’s nerdy and smart; he’s really found his niche.” She suggests watching some of his skill on YouTube videos.
