Poland-based superhero team Backspin just became even stronger than before. US national 3A champion Patrick Borgerding, and Japanese string trick wizard Ryosuke Iwasawa are the newest members of the super elite team.
Backspin, whose mission is to spread and promote yoyoing, already had Plamek, Ben Conde, Dávid Molnár, and World Champion János Karancz in its roster, and the new additions strengthen the team’s position as a global force.
Next year’s EYYC will also be co-organized by Backspin, and judging by the team’s past efforts, we are indeed very excited about the contest in 2014!

Another freestyle from the 2013 Alternative Freestyle Invitational, here we have a great performance by Ryosuke Iwasawa.
Day 1 of Japan Nationais is over in Nagoya! A few of the crowd favorites did not make it, but there are plenty of big names competing for the national title!
In 1A, the favorite is no doubt the current world champion Hiroyuki Suzuki, but team C3’s newest addition, former world champion Shinya Kido, and former national champions Tatsuya Fujisaka and Ryosuke Iwasawa won’t make Mickey’s life easy.
2A also sees the current world champion, Shu Takada, facing a former world title holder, Takuma Yamamoto, and a former national champion, Ryo Yamashita.
More former world champions will battle it out in the incredibly strong 3A division, with Kentaro Kimura facing Minato Furuta.
Even more world champions face off in the 4A division. 2012 world champion Rei Iwakura will have a tough time ahead competing against Naoto Okada and Tsubasa Onishi.
Finally in the 5A division, you got it: another world champion! Takeshi Matsuura is the sole world title holder and by far the favorite in this division.
This the order of the final freestyles:
