44FESTA vol.10 Report and 44FESTA USA Tour!

December 18, 2014 By Rafael Matsunaga

Masanobu Iwata writes to send us a report and great news for the US 44FESTA fans!

The 10th edition of 44FESTA was held back on October, and everyone got the usual 44FESTA mix of serious yoyoing and fun for all!

The freestyle contest there is pretty serious. If you can’t wait for the Japanese contest season to start, I highly recommend checking these out!

The winners of this edition were:

  1. Yamato Murata (again!)
  2. Hajime Miura
  3. Daiki Tanaka
  4. Yuji Aida
  5. Yuya Yatani

The official website has tons of pictures from the freestyle contest, including this:

Nice outfit, HASSY!

That’s the one and only Birthday Boy HASSY!

Two very special guests were in attendance: Mr. sOMEThING Hiroyuki Suzuki, who acted as judge and demoed for the audience, and Professor “Pon” Ishihara, who conducted this edition’s mini-contest:

Ishihara sensei!

The mini-contest had teams of four drawing yo-yo related themes. Here are some gems:

Mr. Takada’s animal-themed counterweight play.

And this incredibly accurate Master Nakamura by Kazuhisa Shimasaki!

And a special announcement for all those attending the Las Vegas Open / Skillcon in December!

Masanobu Iwata, HASSY and Jun Taniguchi will all be in Vegas running a 44FESTA booth with goods and a few surprises! Be sure to say hi to the duck crew in a couple of weeks!

Tait Design Company – Sling Slang YoYo

December 18, 2014 By Steve Brown

Tait Design Co. Sling Slang YoYo

There’s a new yoyo on the market from a company that doesn’t know anything about yoyos…which is something we don’t actually say all that often! The Sling-Slang YoYo is brought to us by Tait Design Co., who’s only other product to date has been an equally limited edition revamp of the classic balsa wood airplane glider. Seems they have a thing for mixing classic toys with graphic design, and the results are pretty good looking. Granted, the play value of a wooden yoyo with a fixed metal axle is going to be pretty limited, but the packaging is gorgeous! If only we could get more actual yoyo companies to care this much about their packaging, huh?

The Sling-Slang yoyos are available online at TaitDesignCo.com for $30 each. Collectors, take note!
