Eric Koloski Joins YoYoFactory

May 21, 2014 By Steve Brown

Eric Koloski YoYoFactory

Wow! This is a huge add for the YoYoFactory Contest Team…congratulations to Eric and YoYoFactory! I’ve known Eric and his family for a long time, and Eric is a fantastic player, demonstrator, and person. Check out YoYoFactory’s official statement below.

In 2003, YoYoFactory released its first yo-yo: the FAST 201. The first day release happened simultaneously in Arizona and at the US National YoYo Contest.

I remember the day pretty vividly, it was a big deal. I can remember explaining the new yo-yo and the concept behind the company to one of the National YoYo Masters who was shopping for a souvenir yoyo for the contest. He politely put the yoyo down and bought something else. It was a disheartening moment until this little kid who had overheard the explanation asked to take a look at it and bought the yo-yo.

That kid went on to win that contest four years later and here, a decade on, we are proud to announce he is joining our team.

Welcome to YoYoFactory, Eric Koloski.

USA National Champion 2008
2nd Place USA National Champion 2007, 2009
3rd Place 1A World Champion 2006
Reigning Triple Crown 1A Champion

And here’s what YoYoJam had to say:

This is a bittersweet day for Team YoYoJam. Eric Koloski will be retiring from the YoYoJam Pro Team to take a salaried position with YoYoFactory. This move allows Eric to pursue his goal of working in the yo-yo industry as a full time profession. We wish we had a position for him within our corporate structure, but unfortunately we do not at this time. While we are sad to see Eric leave, we are happy for this opportunity for him and we wish Eric the best of luck in the pursuit of his new career.
We are pleased to announce that Eric will continue his long-time association with YoYoJam through our Legends. We will also continue to produce his Signature Series Diamondback yo-yo. Watch for more updates to the YoYoJam Legends coming soon!

5A May – Step Into Level 6 ft. Maciek Cwynar

May 21, 2014 By Steve Brown

The Level.6 is the latest budget metal from C3YoYoDesign, and it’s been getting tons of love lately…and with good reason, since it’s a screaming good metal yoyo for only $50.

Polish C3 team member Maciek Cwynar rips through some really nice counterweight play in this new video from everyone’s favorite European auters, the Backspin group.

Yoyo used is the Level.6 by C3YoYoDesign.

5a May – Jake Elliott Tutorials – Two More Turorials

May 21, 2014 By Jacob Elliott

When I first saw Hideo Ishida hit this trick at the end of his 2012 World Yoyo Contest performance, my mind was blown. 5a bind tricks have been getting more and more popular recently, and this trick is one of the best places to start.

The arm flair is optional, but it’s an excellent performance element and non yoyo crowds love it.

Undermount Figure 8’s has always been one of my favorite tricks. It’s tough, but it’s a ton of fun to do and looks good.
