YoYo Related News From Around The World
Mark Mangarin is one of those yoyo players where after I watch his videos I feel hella stupid because I don’t even know how to describe what I just saw. So I’m sitting here, drinking coffee, watching this over and over, and I have no words.
Yoyo used is the CLYW Akita.
Double the Toru, double the fun! Check out two quick new videos from YoYoRecreation featuring Toru Miyazaki!
“One minute, one throw” videos were the first indication that yoyo technology was moving quickly into “they can do whatever you can think of” territory, but it’s still rare to see one throw videos for anything other than 1A. Watching Mizuki Takimoto play 3A is a treat…watching him put together such a clean and fantastic 1-minute routine on a single throw is just mind blowing.
Yoyo used is the YoYoRecreation Helvetica.
Check out this episode of the Crew Racing podcast, a triathlon training podcast run by Caitlin and Drew Sapp, where they interview Gentry Stein about his yoyo practice and training regimens. Neat to hear about Gentry’s competition prep and mindset from such a different perspective!
Be sure to check out Gentry’s winning routine from the 2014 World Yoyo Contest!
Nothing like a full-length video from an up-and-coming crusher of a player…thanks to SF YoYos for making it happen.
Micah really wanted to film and edit a full length video but didn’t think it was worth the effort if it’d just end up in YouTube purgatory. We’re big proponents of the ol’ full length so we said we’d upload it if that’d help more people see it. Micah is awesome. Watch his video. Happy Holidays. Also, he was just in the first Scales Collective freshman class. I hope that stays around forever, it’s such a cool idea.
Yoyo used is the Ti Cadence.
Never get tired of watching Chris Rodrigues burn through tricks…always a good time!
Yoyo used is the Good Life Breeze.
Patrick Canny hits a 100% routine in this new video. The tricks are next level, the execution is super clean, and the added animation pushes the whole thing over the top.
Power Level: Over 9000.
Yoyo used is the UNPRLD Corruption.
If you’re gonna learn, learn from the best! World YoYo Champion Gentry Stein is creating some definitive, in-depth tutorials on how to be the best yoyo player you can, and here we have a great feature on doing horizontal yoyo tricks. Sweet!
Yoyo used is the YoYoFactory Shutter Wide Angle.
How many other players can have you screaming “ARE YOU SERIOUS” at your computer 17 times in just a minute and a half? Behold, a last minute Christmas gift from World YoYo Champion Janos Karancz and Duncan Toys.
Yoyo used is an unknown prototype by Duncan Toys.
Dylan Ostrowski shows us the latest plastic release from Duncan Toys, an oversized yoyo called Big Fun! Big, floaty, and ready for finger spins, the Big Fun looks like…uh…big…um…fun? Crap, they named it so good I don’t have anything else to say.
Yoyo used is the Duncan Toys Big Fun. It’s big fun.
Congrats to Yuya Sato on picking up a sponsorship from SF YoYos, and congrats to SF on adding another amazing up-and-comer to their roster.
Yuya Sato entered the #sfcombocontest this summer and no one on the team even had any idea who he was. As of December, Keiran now refers to him as “our president”, Tony sends me #yuyatotheteam almost every day, and the teamchat is named “Sato Fanclub”. I guess things change pretty fast when you post things like this all the time.
He’s pretty new to yoyoing, his progress is unwavering, he has big goals, and everyone involved with SF has post notifications set to “on” for his Instagram account. You should too.
Join the Sato Fanclub with us.

Keiran Cooper gives us the goods in this video…two and a half minutes of pure, perfect tricks and some Sleigh Bells for good measure. Put it on repeat for the rest of the year.
Yoyo used is the SF YoYos Cadence, maybe? There’s a quick flash at the end that says “Cadence Transmission Coming 2019” so he’s probably throwing a proto of that.
YoYoRecreation has some new yoyos coming out inspired by famous typefaces, and the first two in the series are Helvetica and Futura. Both solid choices, but really looking forward to seeing what they do with Gill Sans and Frutiger. Featuring sweet tricks from Yuu Fujita, no details yet on the actual yoyos or release date.
Vincent Cergolj has really smart tricks and smooth, almost effortless delivery. We could watch this video for days.
Yoyo used is the SF x Core Co BFF.
