LearnKendama.com Kickstarter Project

October 17, 2014 By Steve Brown

The folks from YoYoTricks.com are launching a new website, and they’re looking for your help!

They’ve got a Kickstarter project online right now to fund their new site, LearnKedama.com, and they’ve got some great rewards including new kendamas from Catchy. Check out the details below, and then head over to Kickstarter.com to support the project.

For the last 5 years we have been running YoYoTricks.com and filming tutorial videos to teach people how to yoyo. We even launched our own yoyo, the Civility, through Kickstarter, which has helped us take our tutorials to new heights. It has been our pleasure to hear story after story of kids and adults finding our site and mastering tricks they never thought possible. We have been amazed and humbled at how meaningful our site has become to our users. We often receive emails from customers who share with us how the yoyo has helped them gain personal confidence, stem the tide of boredom, and even how parents are connecting with their kids as the whole family learns to yoyo together. While this certainly reaches far beyond any goals we had for the site when it launched, it has made the work more gratifying than we ever thought possible. Our hope is that through LearnKendama.com our users will experience the same joy and camaraderie others have through YoYoTricks.com.

Our Goals

Our long term aim with LearnKendama.com is to build the most thorough and engaging place to learn kendama on the planet. In the short term, through this campaign our goal is to get kendamas into the hands of interested people, and have enough tutorials released on LearnKendama.com by Christmas to familiarize those players with the fundamentals. The funds we raise through this campaign will not only help us launch LearnKendama.com by Christmas, but will supply us with our initial stock of products so that we can continue to run this business and make tutorials for the foreseeable future.

YoYo Spotlight – YoYofficer Orbis

October 17, 2014 By YoYoNews

YoYofficer Orbis

YoYofficer Orbis Specs:

Diameter: 55.5 mm
Width: 45 mm
Weight: 64 grams
Gap Width: 4.3 mm
Bearing: Large Size C (Grooved)
Retail Price: $50 USD

PLAY

The YoYofficer Orbis is big, wide, and built for modern play. This full-sized yoyo features heavy rim-weight for long spins and great stability, a concave side area for finger spin tricks, and an angled and minimized response wall for long spin times and horizontal play. The Orbis design is pretty much a “greatest hits” of all of the design elements that modern players demand for competition-grade yoyos, and with a budget price of only $50! Yoyofficer has made a name for themselves with high performance at low prices, and the Orbis is the latest model to uphold that ideal.

LOOKS

YoYofficer creates budget models for modern players, but they don’t cut corners on their anodizing. The color and finish quality on their yoyos is fantastic, and some of the best we’ve seen coming out of China factories. Multi-color fades and splashes are done well, and their color choices look great in the hand and while spinning. The Orbis doesn’t have any engraving, making it a no-frills yoyo built for players, not collectors.

VALUE

The Orbis hits shelves for only $50, making it a great deal for players looking for that perfect competition yoyo for their play style. The Orbis is a great player for the price, and is a great option for 1A and 5A players.

WIN THIS YOYO!

Want to win the Yoyofficer Orbis shown above? Just comment on this post and tell us why you deserve it! We’ll pick one lucky winner on Friday, October 24th at Noon EST. Good luck!

Congratulations to our winner, Jason!
