YoYo Related News From Around The World
We’ve got a new video from a recent yoyo meet in London! My absolute favorite part of this video isn’t the players, who are great, or the tricks, which are awesome. No, my favorite part is that in the video description, Azim Jameel actually says “Not so great weather but wanted to make a video regardless”.
This dude just apologized for the weather. In London. Heads up, Azim..you could easily make that a full-time job for a dozen people ha ha! Nice job, and thanks for the video!
The Czech contest scene never fails to impress, and the Brnensky YoYo Contest looks like a great warm-up for the Czech hosting of the 2016 European YoYo Championship. Thanks to our friends at Slusny for the video.
Yoyofficer’s Ilya Shaposhnikov put together a great look at this year’s Russian YoYoing Competition. There is some really good technical play coming out of the Russian scene, and has been for years. The Russian yoyo industry has had some problems finding stability, but there is loads of talent there…great to see a contest really bringing all that talent together!
Germany based yoyo company, iYoYo, unveiled their newest model, HiDra, which is a collaboration between them and an American yoyoer, Ze’ev Yehuda. After reviewing multiple yoyo CAD designs Ze’ev made, iYoYo knew they just had to team up with him.
We believe the YoYo community has far more talent than just creating awesome tricks. Ze’ev Yehuda, US student and yoyo player, has one of these. He has literally created dozens of cool looking CAD yo-yo designs in his spare time. When we discovered one particular one, we knew we had to get it produced. We got in touch with Ze’ev to see if he wants to see his vision become a product. We prototyped it, tweaked it and we are blown away by how well it plays. Think of a relaxing, solid and stable throw for everyday. We can’t wait [to see] tricks the community is going to throw with it!
Available from their site and select retailers worldwide on February 4th, the HiDra is set to retail for only $54.99 USD.
