Ákos Linzenbold wins Hungarian Nationals!
The 2013 Hungarian National Contest was held last Saturday in Budapest!
Hungary is host to the 2013 and 2014 European Yo-yo Championships, and of course home of the current 1A World Champion János Karancz, and the yo-yo scene there is at an all-time high.
The World Champion — and last year’s National Champion — acted as judge in the contest, but the contestant list still included very strong names, and the strongest of the day was Ákos Linzenbold, who despite having a bumpy start, was able to take the 1A title with some of the craziest grab-binds we’ve ever seen!
Hungarian title collector Dávid Molnár had little trouble taking home two more titles, winning 4A and 5A. Check the full results below, courtesy of retYo.eu.

2013 US National YoYo Contest – Set Me Free
Josh Yee put together a crazy 9-minute video recap of the 2013 US National YoYo Contest that’s definitely worth setting aside the time to watch. Plenty of great talent in there, and Josh’s video skills get better with every release. It’s almost like being there, minus the sunburn and the festive smell of homeless people peeing in the bushes.
Kengarden Kendama Display
The Kengarden has an amazing kendama display coming, available soon on their site and at Kendama USA. These North American Walnut displays are made in the US, and are absolutely beautiful! No word on price, but keep an eye out…I have a feeling these are going to disappear quickly.
Unnecessary Hate – Ryan Gee
Ryan Gee gives us another dose of his quirky goodness in this video. Ryan has been insanely prolific lately with a pile of video releases over the past few months, and more ridiculously fun tricks than you can shake a Drew Tetz at.
Minute Minute – Wilson Van Gundy
Werrd Wrecking Crew member Wilson Van Gundy gets the next installment of the Minute Minute series….one minute to show off the full capabilities of the newly-released Werrd Minute yoyo.
Wilson is a hell of a rising talent…a couple more years and he could definitely become a top competitor. Enjoy this peek at one of the next generation’s winners.
CLYW – The Jasper Five
This stunning new video from CLYW might well be one of the best things to happen to yoyoing this year. Absolutely beautiful work from everyone involved.
Featuring Chris Mikulin, Ann Connolly, Charles Haycock, Alex Smith, and Kristin Olinyk.
