Two of CLYW’s most prolific players invite you to hop into their Little Scrappy Time Machine and join them for four and a half minutes of fun. While the video was shot in 2012, there is nothing dated about the tricks and I guarantee that you will see something new; very solid one shots from Chase, and that combo Chuck does around :42 is definitely a recent favorite. In addition to the progressive yo-yoing that we’ve come to expect from these boys, the clip also features original music from Chase and Jensen, and my plenty of my absolute favorite thing in a yo-yo video: SMILING.
Zach Attack! featuring Zach Gormley – YoYoNews Exclusive
After winning the National YoYo Championship in 2012, CLYW‘s Zach Gormley spent a few moments filming with Sector Y. In just a few minutes, he was able to demonstrate amazing tricks that consistently push the envelope of innovation. At under a minute-and-a-half, this video is a dense look at modern trick composition and theory. It will take several views to fully grasp the direction that Zach has taken with his unique style of yoyoing, and we can’t wait to see the influence of Zach’s style permeate the yoyosphere over the next several years.

Luis Enrique wins 44CLASH!
44CLASH proves once again why it’s such a respected contest! No less than four countries were represented in the top five placings in the 1A division, including the two most recent World Champions!
The country with two representatives and the top spot, however, is the World’s new powerhouse, México! Mexican Champion Luis Enrique, who’s been showing fierce determination for the past couple of years, beat US National Champion Zach Gormley, 2011 World Champion Marcus Koh, 2012 World Champion Hiroyuki Suzuki and his country and teammate Paul Kerbel to take home the coveted 1st place trophy!
2A was unsurprisingly dominated by the local force, with the bendy Masakazu “Maraka” Yamasaki taking first place, followed by Ginji Miura and Shunsuke Kawakami.
The X Division saw Yoyojam’s 4A squad at the top three places, with World Champion Rei Iwakura taking the top spot, followed by showman Ben Conde and US National Champion Bryan Figueroa.
