Dane Cooks Loves Janos Karancz

August 18, 2013 By Steve Brown

Get ready to be stupefied as you realize you’ll never be this good at anything. 2013 World Yo-Yo Champ: http://t.co/u2eCLvtHVU via @youtube

— Dane Cook (@DaneCook) August 15, 2013

 

So apparently, uber-comedian Dane Cook digs on the yoyo…at least he does when Janos Karancz is throwing it. Our new World Champion has a new fan, and managed to get himself a shoutout on Dane Cook’s Twitter feed, which reached a little over 3 million followers. His freestyle is currently up around half a million views on YouTube…congrats, Janos!

Top 10 YoYo Players on Twitter

February 2, 2013 By Joe Mitchell

Everyone loves a Top Ten list, right? The kids go crazy for the Twitter these days, so I thought it was about time someone ranked the best yoyo players on Twitter. Because, you know, if it’s not ranked, does it really exist? And besides, all the cool blogs have Top Ten lists, so here’s ours!

10 – Ann Connolly – @annmayy

Best Recent Tweet: I woke up to bloody toes with bruises and remnants
 of neon paint all over my body. I just @ Coral Bungalows 
http://instagr.am/p/Te94izG3Tj/

Ann’s arguably the world’s best known female yoyoer. She’s been 
traveling quite a bit recently and her Twitter feed has taken a bit of
 a travelog feel about it.

9 – Drew Tetz – @drewtetz
Drew Tetz on Twitter
Best Recent Tweet: clippers died halfway through my haircut. i look 
like two-face, or an urban outfitters employee. please charge faster.

Drew’s one of the good guys of yoyoing. He tweets about yoyoing, art, design, and his many creations including lasercut yoyos and kendamas.

 

8 – Paul Escolar – @paulescolar

Best Recent Tweet: My recycled plastic/wood composite desk chair just 
cracked. Sh*t just got real. going #GREEN is not for #FATTIES .
Runner Up: WOW, That was a Good Belch! I don’t remember the last time 
i had one that was more than a mere Burp. #BOOGERWOULDBEPROUD

Fabulously funny Paul really rarely tweets about yoyos, but his tweets 
are funny and, yes, fabulous. And for good measure, follow him on Instagram for peeks at his sketchbook.

 

7 – Ed Haponik – @kinopah

Best Recent Tweet: more and more, i find the overall quality of my
 original tricks to be inversely proportional to their length. 
http://vimeo.com/56491225

A school teacher by trade, Ed is almost poetic in his writing. OK, 
strike the ‘almost’, he IS poetic. He even avoids capital letters in a 
nod to poet e.e. cummings. Smart, thoughtful feed from a good guy. If
 you’re looking for a role model in yoyoing, you could do worse than Ed
 Haponik. For example, Steve Brown. See? Definitely worse than Ed Haponik.

 

6 – Hiroyuki Suzuki – @HSJPN

Best Recent Tweet: Christopher Chia met Ludacris when he was shooting
ANGLAM Ver.CC Video! pic.twitter.com/uyp5B86s

Multi-time world 1A champion posits on his store, his yo-yos, mainly 
in Japanese, but sometimes in English.

 

5 –  Takahiko Hasegawa 
@Taka_yoyo


From what I could find, Taka is the world’s most followed yoyoer on
 Twitter. (Keep in mind my study consisted of a bored Sunday afternoon
 on the internet). That’s the good news. The bad news is Take tweets 
solely in Japanese. Still, there’s lots of pics of cool yoyos!

 

4 –  Daniel Ickler – @ZammyIckler

Best Recent Tweet: I wish they made pizza on a stick, like how a 
corndog is like.
Runner Up: Merry Z-Mas and Zammy New Year to all! Sorry if as Zammy
 Clause is delievering yoyos that he breaks a door..or chimney.

Endlessly entertaining feed, some of which was actually intended to be
 funny! The personable Zammy will tweet about anything and everything..
.be forewarned, he’s liable to put a ‘z’ in just about any word. In the 
immortal words of Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids – “And if you’re not
 careful, you may learn something before it’s done!”

 

3 – Chris Mikulin – @clyw_canada


Best Recent Tweet: Oh ya FYI we’re making a plastic return top!!! Lol … Soooo stoked 🙂

Chris has proven time and time again to be one of the sweetest guys in the industry, and his Twitter feed shows the results of that….a nearly endless stream of love and support from CLYW fans, peppered with news about CLYW releases and videos.

 

2-  YoYoFactory – @yoyofactory

Best Recent Tweet: Just saw the @yoyoskills award list. Lol. Not sure 
who is kidding who. #undeniable

Ben McPhee’s in charge of the Twitter feed at YoYoFactory and he’s
 quite a personality. The guy that everyone loves to hate weighs in on style, 
life and (occasionally) yoyoing.

 

1 – Steve Brown – @unklesteve

Best Recent Tweet: I’d love to write a sequel to The Vagina Monologues
 made of stories from male audience members who didn’t know what they
 were going to see.

The never-shy Steve Brown is always entertaining and often polarizing.
 He’s been around long enough to know just about everyone in yoyoing 
and at some point has pissed off all of them.

Steve also maintains @365YoYoTricks (one new yoyo trick every day), @sbgallery (his online art gallery), @triplecrownyoyo (official Twitter account for the Triple Crown of YoYo contest), and @shinbonetweet (his company that handles digital sculpting and prototyping).

 

Honorable Mention:
YoYoRadio – @YoYo_Radio

Shameless self promotion. The world’s first internet radio show about
 yoyoing called yoyoradio.net. Yes, there is a second internet radio 
show about yoyoing called yoyoradio.net. We were first. We are best.
 TAKE THAT, copycat Japanese yo-yo radio!

 

Dishonorable Mention:
World Yo-Yo Contest – @wyyc

Best Recent Tweet: Testing the WYYC twitter feed.
Runner-Up: No, that’s it. It’s the biggest yo-yo contest in the world
, and their Twitter feed amounts to one tweet that’s over two years 
old. And they wonder why people want the contest to move out of 
Orlando…

That’s all, folks! And don’t forget to follow @YoYoNewsBlog on Twitter for the latest updates on stories just like this one. How incredibly meta!
