YoYo Drop – YoYoFactory Heist & Space Crown Ultra

February 6, 2017 By Steve Brown

YoYoFactory dropped two new models under the radar, both from metals that we don’t normally see in the average yoyo release.

The YoYoFactory Heist is the newest stainless steel pocket yoyo from YoYoFactory. Previous steel models have been more of a novelty…the Stainless Steel Whistler was purely for noisy fun, while the Mighty Flea was playable but incredibly tiny and limited. The Heist steps up their game quite a bit with a larger than the Flea (but still pocket sized) release. The density of stainless steel allows them to give it the weight distribution of a full-sized yoyo in a decidedly undersized package. All the play at a fraction of the size!

YoYoFactory Heist Specs:

Diameter: 40 mm
Width: 25.64 mm
Weight: 61.5 grams
Bearing: Small Center Trac (5 x 10 x 4 mm)
Response: CBC Small Pad
Material: Stainless Steel


And next up we have the YoYoFactory Space Crown Ultra, the first yoyo from YoYoFactory to utilize 7068 grade aluminum. This ultra-tough alloy has a better weight:strength ratio than Grade 5 Titanium at a fraction of the price, and is pretty new to the yoyo industry. Featuring a nice looking v-shape and a great fingerspin hub, we can’t wait to get our hands on one of these and beat the everloving crap out of it!

YoYoFactory Space Crown Ultra Specs:

Diameter: 57.55 mm
Width: 45.75 mm
Weight: 65 grams
Bearing: CBC Large Center Trac(.250 x .500 x .187)
Response: CBC 19mm Slim Pad
Material: 7068 Aluminum

Mathilde Witt ft. iYoYo VERiTAS

February 6, 2017 By Steve Brown

Mathilde Witt won a Regional Science Contest at the age of 14 with a hand-drawn sketch of a competition yoyo…so iYoYo made it for her. Check out Mathilde in a video showing off her design, the new iYoYo Veritas.

Best origin story for a yoyo design? We think it’s pretty damn good!

Yoyo used is the iYoYo Veritas.

2017 United YoYo Championships

February 6, 2017 By Steve Brown

2017 United YoYo Championship

The 2017 United YoYo Championships (which alternates annually between Kansas City and St. Louis, and is a state championship for both Kansas and Missouri), will take place on May 6th, 2017 in St. Louis, MO. Details are below, and you can hit their Facebook event page for more info, or register online here.

2017 is shaping up to be an exciting year of yoyoing, considering the World YoYo Contest will be in Iceland in August! If you’re in the U.S., it’s time to start training now and we know you won’t want to miss out on this multi-state battle. It’s strategically located in St. Louis, the Gateway to the West, and of equal distance from both east to west coasts. The United YoYo Championships last year was in Kansas City and this year it makes its debut to downtown St. Louis. If you’re from the Midwest, then you also could grab the title of state champion for either Kansas or Missouri, with a seeding into finals at Mid-West Regionals. And, of course ultimately onto the largest YoYo contests, the U.S. National YoYo Contest and the World YoYo Contest.

The second annual United YoYo Championships will be hosted in downtown St. Louis, at the amazing, community supported radio station, 88.1 KDHX, The Stage. KDHX is located in the heart of the Grand Center Arts District and holds an audience of up to 150. For the competitors we have full use of the KDHX Stage, lighting, sound, and a projector with screen.

The venue is also attached to Magnolia Cafe and in addition there are several alternative lunch options available in a 1-2 block radius including the St. Louis Contemporary Art Museum. Many other attractions are worth noting for your St. Louis visit: The City Museum, The Arch, Forest Park, World Chess Hall of Fame, and the Delmar Loop with its brand new trolley. Expect a fantastic contest with lots of new faces including first time judging for St. Louis, Sebastian Brock. Feel free to post questions or check back for more info as we get closer to showtime!

SF YoYos Player Two – Vincent Cergolj

February 6, 2017 By Steve Brown

SF YoYos dropped a new video for their second sponsored player, Vincent Cergolj! It’s a short one, but worth watching a couple of times to soak it all in.

Vincent is a very nice young man from Slovenia that we’re ecstatic to have representing us. His YouTube channel is nothing but great yoyoing, he’s the type of guy who’d use Imperial March in a freestyle, and we love his artistic sensibilities. No brainer for ol’ SF on this one.

We think Vincent has a bright future in yoyo and we’re excited to help it unfold.
