June 6th is known across the world as International Yo-Yo Day, but tonight we have something even more precious to celebrate. Four new names are announced to join the team we value the most, marking the biggest yoyoing.ru expansion in the last decade. Through the years we witnessed these players becoming the strongest representatives of modern Russian yo-yo scene; we were proud to see them growing into National champions, developing their own styles and mastering the play – and wish them to become a part of something bigger. Tonight four of our closest friends became teammates we are eager to share the future with. We highly recommend watching this in 4K – and don’t forget to drop us a like, comment this video and subscribe for more videos, that helps us a lot!

The week yoyoing.ru spent at EYYC 2017 could not be complete without visiting the very heart of European yo-yo scene, Prague – as the essential visit to the SLUSNY store could not be complete without buying a new throw. We decided to try the Yeti 2.0 by CLYW, an outstanding plastic – and shoot some tricks at the legendary Prague Castle.
Music for the video was provided by our dearest teammate Igor Chibisov, you can check out his SoundCloud below.
Player: Ivan Maslin

The IYYF has officially recognized the RYC (Russian YoYoing Competition) as the official national yoyo contest of Russia, and the seeding event to the World YoYo Contest. The previously recognized event has been inactive in recent years, and the RYC has proven itself with consistency, quality judging, and high production quality. Congrats! Check out their official statement below.
Dear friends, we are happy to announce the end of the 2016 competitive season in Russia – and our 10th anniversary year with amazing news: RYC is now officially recognised as Russian Nationals by International Yo-Yo Federation. We are extremely thankful to the board and proud to see Russia back on the global scene – it’s a huge step for yoyoing.ru, Russian Yoyoing Federation and the local community. We’d like to thank our friends worldwide, the players and the brands who supported us on this journey – for almost eleven years now.
But the main news for today are these names: we are proud to announce Lazar Medvedev as 2016 Russian National Champion, Ilya Matros finishing second with only 0.4 points difference – and Konstantin Uvarov who took the third place in 1A Division.
We are also happy to name the X-Division Champion, Alex Stein, Nizhny Novgorod city champion, showcasing 4A on the Nationals scene this year.
The fight for the titles was tough; we’d like to thank all the competitors for their dedication, creativity and sportsmanship – and invite you guys to the official event page at yoyoing.ru where the full results are being added right now together with freestyle videos on our YouTube channel.
Thank you guys, it’s been an amazing decade – and stay tuned for more from Russia and yoyoing.ru.
In the flurry of action with all of the players being added to yoyo teams lately, I nearly missed this one!
The YoYoing.ru team (that’s in Russia, for any of you who aren’t familiar) has just added one of the superstars of the Russian yoyoing scene…Ivan Maslin!
Apparently this team almost never adds new members, so this is a huge deal for the Russian yoyo community. Congratulations, Ivan!
Igor Korzhev, Yuji, and Vladimir Glazkov all drop some killer parts in this new video shot for YoYoing.ru. Really interesting trick construction, smooth execution, and filmed beautifully. There’s a lot of good inspiration to be found here!
The Russian Yoyoing Competition was held in Moscow in December last year, and in anticipation of this year’s event, Yoyoing.ru and the Russian Yoyoing Federation have released the 2014 event report accompanied by a sweet clip video!
The post-mortem can be found on yoyoing.ru/rycmoscow2014/. If you are a contest organizer, take note: this is what a professional report looks like!
The report contains not just results, but also tons of photos, videos, Instagram feed, attendance details, and the organizers’ vision for the contest and the scene in Russia!
Stay tuned for more information about this year’s contest!
