YoYoFactory Pulsar Collection

April 30, 2014 By Steve Brown

YoYoFactory Pulsar Collection

YoYoFactory has given us a partial unveiling of their Pulsar Collection, which will have its first release this weekend at Japan Nationals on May 3rd & 4th. Featuring a yoyo string remix of the iconic Joy Division cover art for the album “Unknown Pleasures“.

The collection includes the Shutter, the OneStar, the Superstar, and the new 2014 Genesis. All four models feature the Pulsar/String artwork, although the Superstar is the only one that comes in a color other than black. And as a nice touch, it actually looks like the Superstar comes in a blue color that references the Scientific American article showing the pulsar waves, published in 1971. The new Genesis’ most striking featuring is a stainless steel weight right, added in just below the step in the inner gap of the yoyo.

Igor Galiev – #coconutpwder

January 19, 2014 By Steve Brown

We’ve got a new video from Russian YoYoFactory Team Member Igor Galiev, and it comes along with this explanation:

The yoyo, the dog and the #coconutpwdr falling from the sky. Dreamy forest adventure.

Old Russian tale says: “If you go to the coconut shower forest and perform a yoyo combo with no single mistake and finish it with goldengate picture trick, serendipity dog shell appear and bring you to the temple of skill.”

I have absolutely no idea what that means. But watch the video, it’s got some great tricks.

Yoyos used are the Proton, Protostar, and OneStar by YoYoFactory.

Patrick Borgerding In Santa Barbara Independent

November 9, 2013 By Steve Brown

YoYoNews contributor and YoYoFactory-slinging 3A badass Patrick Borgerding got himself a great write-up in the Santa Barbara Independent, the main newspaper in Santa Barbara, California. Full article pasted below!

After coasting through statewide, regional, and national yo-yo contests and collecting a shiny first place medal at each stop, a UCSBstudent continued on to win second place in the 2013 World Yo-Yo Contest this summer.

Patrick Borgerding performed a three-minute choreographed routine before a panel of retired yo-yo champions. They judged his routine on technical execution, cleanliness, performance, and ability to thrill the audience.

Borgerding placed second in his division, division 3A, which is specific to contestants wielding two long-string yo-yos. Though this is the first year Borgerding qualified for the world championship, he is no stranger to competing, and winning.

“Everyone went through phases when they were young. First it was Pokémon, then Yu-Gi-Oh!, then everyone started yo-yoing,” he said. “But it was just a phase; everyone quit except me. ”

“I was such a competitive little kid — I had no control over how much I wanted to win. I got first in the little regional competition and that kind of hooked me,” said Borgerding.

His winning streak had only just begun. After getting second place in the national competition two years in a row, Borgerding decided something had to be done. He practiced three to four hours each day for two months in preparation for this year’s national tournament, at which he finally won first place, automatically qualifying him for the world contest.

In the 10 months preceding the international competition, Borgerding continued to practice every day, slowing down only when UCSB’s coursework picked up. He’s double-majoring in economics and psychology.

Armed with a sponsorship from the largest yo-yo distributor in the world, YoYoFactory, Borgerding is frequently flown to make appearances at yo-yo events. He also owns more yo-yos than he can count, literally. He does not know how many he has but estimates upward of 500.

His current favorite, the Proton, was designed by his all-time-favorite yo-yo champion, Kentaro Kimura, who once personally told Borderging he had potential.

Borderging says that being a part of the yo-yo community since he was 9 years old helped him mature and foster creativity, as well as awakened a thirst to win, one he satiates constantly.

Igor Galiev – Proton Combo

May 21, 2013 By Steve Brown

Russian yoyo kingpin Igor Galiev throws out an ugly video for a dirty combo with the YoYoFactory x Turning Point Proton.

Igor has some of the most interesting trick construction in the Russian scene. It looks like some kind of really excitable Euro-jazz freestyle mayhem…almost like if you put Spencer Berry in a box.

Ultra Casj – Yuji Kelly & Anthony Tunstall

April 8, 2013 By Steve Brown

Yuji Kelly and Anthony Tunstall are so damn good.

Every bit of this video is smooth and effortless, the tricks are clean, and they’re both throwing the YYF x TP Proton, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the YoYoFactory Champions Collection. I don’t think I could love this video any more if it paid me money every time I watched it.

YoYoFactory Presents: Sunlight

March 25, 2013 By Steve Brown

Evgeniy “Ujin” Kochergin from YoYoFactory’s Russian Contest Team puts in a quick bit of work with the YoYoFactory x Turning Point Proton in this short new video. The backdrop is so gorgeous I had to watch it a second time to catch the tricks.

This video is too damn short. Evgeniy has some really interesting trick pacing, but we’re going to need more than :39 to appreciate it. Don’t tease us, son.
