YoYo Related News From Around The World
Nicolo Rossetto and Armando La Rocca are gearing up for the 2015 European YoYo Championship, coming soon in Cracow, Poland! Check out this great practice video as these two top players form Italy show off what they’ll be bringing to the stage in Poland.
Yoyos used are the Oxygene Megatron and Obsidian.
I’ll let Ben McPhee tell you about this one:
On my first trip to Russia the yoyo scene was about 50 deep. They hung out in their own smaller crews, some guys were older and into other things as well but everyone came together often to hangout and play. There were known meeting spots across the city where you could just come and trust other yo-yos would come by too. The scene grew, matured, money came into it for some people, there were factions and eventually it maxed out and started to decline. Those who are left are now the hardcore. Some stayed around from the start, some came in later and drive it with a new passion. Ilya Matros is one of the new driving forces. He has contest results, a stack of video clips but he hasn’t reached his peak yet, nor has yo-yoing in Russia. It might be a bumpy road but I look forward to Russian yo-yoing growing once again so Russia can become the global powerhouse it can be in international yo-yoing.
Ryosuke Kawamura makes his way through the entire One Drop Benchmark 2014 lineup in this new video, chock full of really solid technical 1A tricks. Great job!

For this new video from the Czech Republic, a gaggle of yoyo players throw down in what looks to be a several centuries-old wine cellar. Seriously, is there any part of Prague that isn’t amazing?
