Keiran Cooper – Scenes from PNWR 2017

March 23, 2017 By Steve Brown

Keiran Cooper said:

Opting out of competing at this year’s PNWR yielded arguably the most fun I’ve had at a yo-yo competition

and after watching this video, we agree. Looks like PNWR was an absolute blast, and huge thanks to Keiran for putting together such a beautiful love letter to this contest.

Jeffrey Pang brings us a ground level view of the 2017 Pacific Northwest Regional YoYo Contest, held recently in Seattle, WA. Featuring all the good stuff from Evan Nagao, David Ung, Colin Beckford, Harrison Lee, The Bird, Keiran Cooper, and plenty more.

Colin Beckford – Sunday in Seattle

March 7, 2016 By Steve Brown

Recess Intl. dropped a new video from Colin Beckford to tease the release of his upcoming signature model, and it looks like the quiet kid from Cleveland decided to bring the heat. I actually got the chance to try this prototype the other night, and it’s a super nice yoyo. It has that Japanese contest yoyo feel…crazy solid, spins forever, always has more spin left than you think. Good stuff! Should be available in a month or two, I’m told.

Yoyo used is the Recess Diplomat.
