Mimi Thian x Speedaholic

September 16, 2013 By Steve Brown

Mimi Thian, one of Malaysia’s top yoyo players, shows off C3YoYoDesign’s new injection molded plastic yoyo, the Speedaholic. Retailing for $15 or less around the world, the Speedaholic is getting a ton of praise from early buyers and is available now from your favorite retailers. Mimi runs it through some solid tricks, and there’s been a bit of progression in her trick construction since her last video…great to see her growing as a player!

Petr Aminev – Depot

September 16, 2013 By Steve Brown

YoYoRecreation and IrPad present this new video of Petr Aminev and holy frig is it GOOD. Beautifully shot and edited, and his horizontal combo is truly horizontal, not just slanted. A great video from a serious up-and-coming talent.

Yoyo used is the YoYoRecreation Dreadnought, with IrPads and YoYoStringLab Type X string.

Moscow YoYo Contest (Partial Results & Video)

September 16, 2013 By Steve Brown

Tracking down results for yoyo contests in Russia is like chasing a sasquatch. All we got was a blurry photo of one division’s results, and the freestyle of the winner. But hey, the winner was Igor Galiev so it’s totally worth it!

We’ll update this post with more results if we can track them down.

2013 Bill Lebowitz Classic (Southwest Regional) Results

September 16, 2013 By Patrick Borgerding

The final regional competition of the 2013 United States National Yo-Yo Contest qualification process finished up on Saturday and we have the full results. The contest was a great success with an improvement in the judging and an increased attendance from the previous year. We will update the 2013 Semi-Finals for the National Contest, check here.

On to the results,

5A

In 5A, National Champion Tyler Severance took the seed and looks to defend his title in the next three weeks. Paolo Bueno, 1A juggernaut, who is heavily influenced by Tyler in 5A, took second and closed the gap from the last contests he has competed against Tyler. Finally, Shannon Jackson of Arizona, loved by many and a consistent name in 5A, qualified for Nationals and took the third place honors.

4A

4A saw World Champion Michael Nakamura easily take top the spot despite a few (wind-aided) errors. Up and coming youngest Julian Grunauer took home second place with an extremely clean first half of his routine; with more and more experience, look for Julian to finish stronger with a clean second half in contests in the future. Finally, Stephanie Haight took home the third spot home and bolsters YoYoJams 4A roster and more young talent.

3A

3A pitted #2 and #4 from last month’s 2013 World YoYo Contest against each other and Alex Hattori won this time around with a great routine. Continuing his trend of ultra clean routines, Alex has put together 5 minutes of near flawless yo-yoing and has had a strong 2013 after a rough 2012. Look for Alex to be a huge contender going into the 2013 US National YoYo Contest. Patrick Borgerding had a relatively clean routine sans an extremely long switch out after an ugly knot. Yoshi Mikamoto edged out Newman Becker for third place. Newman has been steadily improving his 3A and looks stronger and stronger each year.

2A

National Champion Patrick Mitchell won despite an exploded yo-yo and a restart–testimony to his skill and he looks poised to defend his title this year. 2A veteran Yoshi Mikamoto took second honors and nearly edged out the National Champion. Finally, Yususke Moriki took home third place–everyone’s favorite jokester and always entertaining 2A player.

1A Rookie

This year saw the addition of the rookie 1A division, a trend that many contests are now adopting, which was a good opportunity for the  next generation to get on center stage. It is always awesome to see how fast everyone is improving and growing!

2013 BLC 1A ROOKIE

1A

Anthony Rojas. Look out. He is a clean three minutes from being the US representative at the 2014 World YoYo Contest in Prague next year. A beautiful display of control and innovation with a hint of artistry and even a bit of swagger (brush your shoulder…). Anthony is a definitely the biggest crowd favorite in the US–last year at the National Contest when Anthony switched out there was an audible sigh of sadness from the crowd. In second, 4A Champion Michael Nakamura proved he should be considered a threat on all fronts. He has improved drastically even since Worlds and will make a run at qualifying again for the finals after his finaling at Worlds. Finally, Paolo Bueno took home third with yet another extremely innovative routine with his (becoming) trademark 3D tricks. He continues to improve and will certainly be a threat for the 2014 World title after a very strong year this year.
