Ben Conde Launches YouTube Channel

June 10, 2016 By Steve Brown

ben conde black-04

Ben Conde is one of the most magnetic and engaging personalities in the yoyo community, and after a short break following his sponsor YoYoJam closing up shop, Ben is back with a new initiative on YouTube to bring modern yoyoing to the masses.

Players like to spend a lot of time creating reasons they think yoyoing isn’t more popular in the mainstream but the simple reality is that it just doesn’t look that good. For every one great looking yoyo video there are 1,000 videos of a player standing in their bedroom, making knots and staring at their hands. Players like Ben and his new push on YouTube are the one of the best hopes we have of really getting non-players interested in modern yoyoing as more than just a novelty.

Subscribe to Ben’s channel, and expect to start seeing new content weekly on Fridays at noon EST!

Brazilian YoYo Scene Documentary

May 9, 2016 By Steve Brown

Time to brush up on your Portuguese!

The Brazilian yoyo scene was “the little scene that could” in the early 2000s. They were relatively far removed from the rest of the countries with major scenes, handicapped by huge import duties that made it really hard for them to get the yoyos everyone else was using, and with a lower-value currency that made it stupidly expensive to get to the US or Japan for major contests. So they did what any resourceful, creative, dedicated, amazing group of talented people would do: they figured out how to make it work all on their own. They built their own local brand, they built their own scene, and they made so much noise that the rest of the world couldn’t miss them if they tried, culminating in Brazilian player Rafael Matsunaga becoming the first modern World YoYo Champion not from the US or Japan.

I had the good fortune to visit Brazil once for Brazilian Nationals, and it was amazing. Every player in the country piled into a room that was so thick with bodies there was condensation on the ceiling, cheering each other on with deafening whoops and hollers as they started their routines. It was the very model of a scene built out of love and necessity, and I’m so glad that it’s been documented, and that someone is putting these time capsule together so that everyone can see what an amazing contribution to the art and sport of yoyo play Brazil has made.

One Drop YoYos – Virtual Tour

September 20, 2015 By Steve Brown

YoYoExpert forum member Parvar Singh mentioned that he really wished he could tour the One Drop facility in Oregon…but since he’s in India, that’s probably not going to happen any time soon.

So Paul Dang filmed this video tour of their shop as a treat for Parvar…and for everyone else!

サマーナイツ (Summer Nights) – The #WYYC15 After-Party Video

September 6, 2015 By Gabriel Lozano

This video is recommended for audiences 21+.

The World Yo-Yo Contest 2015 held official after-parties on every night (Nights 1 through 4) after the contest. It was well organized, and incredibly helpful to have an officially sanctioned event. It helped unify everyone after the contest, despite everyone staying at different hotels. I think this should be a case-study for future contests, in terms of unification of players, and for monetization purposes. (Yoyo players like to party!) Details of the after-party structure can be found here: http://tokyo15.com/en/world-yo-yo-party/

The 5th night was at a nightclub in Shibuya, Tokyo, where DJ Kohta was spinning. We drank and danced until the sun came up and the trains started again.

Personal thanks to Dimi. Tokyo was too much for one person to take in, so Dimi helped shoot with another camera over several nights. So many of the great shots you see in this video were thanks to him. Without his support, this video would not have been possible. Thank you, Dimi. For more of his photos, follow him on instagram at @iam_dimi.

Music is サマーナイツ (Summernights) by Alejandro Dale.
It can be found on Soundcloud here.

Thank you for watching.

2015 Japan National YoYo Contest Results and Freestyle Videos!

May 3, 2015 By Rafael Matsunaga

2015 Japan National YoYo Contest Trailer

The 2015 Japan National Yo-yo Contest comes to an end with mind-blowing freestyles, and some surprises among the winners!

Videos courtesy of yoyovideoarchive!

1A Division – 1st Place – Takeshi Matsuura

In 1A, Takeshi Matsuura retains the National title with yet another superb mastery of slack tricks! Yusuke Otsuka, who’s been better every year, finished second, followed by three of the best players from the new generation: king of 44FESTA Yamato Murata, and C3yoyodesign’s duo Ryuichi Nakamura, and Shion Araya.

2A Division – 1st Place – Takuma Yamamoto

2A also saw last year’s champion retain his title, with Takuma Yamamoto finishing with a four-point lead even after shedding two points to yo-yo stoppage. Shu Takada scored an incredible 38.5 out of 40 in evaluation scores and finished second, followed by living legend Shinji Saito.

3A Division – 1st Place – Tomoya Kurita

The biggest upset of the contest was in 3A, where current World Champion Hajime Miura was unable to present his usual consistency and finished in fourth place! The winner, Tomoya Kurita, had a couple of great bangers and pretty good trick volume, giving him the edge over runner-up Mizuki Takimoto and 2010 World Champion Minato Furuta.

4A Division – 1st Place – Rei Iwakura

Rei Iwakura trampled over all the other 4A contestants with yet another superb freestyle! His evaluation score? 38.7 out of 40! Naoto Onishi was the runner up, over ten points behind Rei, followed by former World Champion Tsubasa Onishi.

5A Division – 1st Place – Hideo Ishida

5A was up for grabs this year, with neither Takeshi Matsuura or Takuma Inoue competing. Hideo Ishida, who had finished third a few times before, was the clear winner, even with some loss of control during his freestyle. Sora Ishikawa displayed his usual repertoire of bangers, but was hurt by lower trick volume and a -3 deduction for not returning the yo-yo to the hand at the end of the freestyle.

With the World Yo-yo Contest approaching fast, players worldwide are now aware of what to expect from the home field contestants, and Japanese players had the chance to experience the venue that will host the contest in August!
