Spin King – Czech YoYo School Tour

March 23, 2015 By Steve Brown

I absolutely LOVE seeing things like this! Projects like this are the best bet we have for really spreading the art and sport of yoyo play, and I’m really impressed at how the Czech yoyo scene has come together to make this happen.

Spinking is very special yoyo project with simple goal. We want kids and teenagers to go out, play, socialize, create stuff and evolve. Our way how to reach this goal and get kids out of computers, out of doing nothing or doing bad things is modern yo-yoing. So we took team of international professional yoyo players and toured schools all around Czech Republic with yoyo show. We have been to over 100 schools and did more than 250 shows. We have also organized Spinking contest at the very end of our tour. What happened? How did the whole thing go? Who won? Check the video to find out 🙂

Big thanks to sponsors!!
