Ben Conde is an aspiring YouTube star, traveling through China where no one has access to YouTube. This makes him 83% less special. But we still love him.

Philip White is the 2016 National 4A Champion, and his brother Stuart is a National Finalist in both the 3A and 4A divisions. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team the White brothers.

The Signature model of Bryan Figueroa, who has many titles, is AIRE.
AIRE is a Bryan Figueroa style remake from JT’s first model Kamui. It contains the characteristics of the past JT models.
It certainly has the high quality basic performance, and also, this model’s strength is the bounce ability when it drops on the floor. JT had been dealing with this problem for a long time. We used to think that thinning the wings was the only solution. It bounces back high when it drops on the carpet. However, players have to play gently on hard floor because the wings are thin and weak. Also, its spinning force is not strong enough because the wings are light, so some players avoid using this model. AIRE solved this problem with its recovery skill.
On soft floor, it bounces back to a player while making a circular orbit. On hard floor, it bounces back straight to a player. This was made possible by combining four points in its design.
Inheritance, evolution, and fusion made it possible for Kamui’s successor, AIRE, with a new body and the ability to revolutionize.
C3yoyodesign presents a new video featuring Japanese team member and 4x World YoYo Champion, Rei Iwakura! So that means we’re looking at a pretty fantastic day, really, plus at least 2-3 weeks of severe inferiority complexes about our offstring abilities.
Yoyo used is the C3yoyodesign Flawless.
Yuki Uchida gives up some truly inspiring 4A in his new video for Japan Technology. As a division, 4A seems to be on the rise at most major contests yet we still don’t see many videos that feature it…what gives? Get us those videos, people! High five to Yuki for this one though…killer stuff.
Yoyo used is the Japan Technology Eagle Eye.
Ben Conde is on a roll…from features on Veritasium and Beyond Slow Motion to cracking himself in the face at the 2016 World YoYo Contest, he is all over the place lately! His latest feature comes from Great Big Story, a video network that is “dedicated to the untold, the overlooked and the flat-out amazing.” Sweet! Great job, Ben!

Show of hands, who else has completely died on stage?
Yep. Plenty of us.
Ben Conde does it with style though, as he breaks down his 2016 World YoYo Contest fail with enough comedy to soften the harsh blow of defeat. Hopefully, anyway.
Yoyo used to hit himself in the face is the YoYoFactory Flight.
Thank you, Darren Dyk and Ben Conde, for the most epic and glorious offstring yoyo video of all time. Daaaaamn!
