YoYo Related News From Around The World
Chase Hadden and Charles Haycock absolutely DESTROY in this new promo video for the highly-anticipated release of the Yeti, the first plastic yoyo by CLYW.
Music is “The Yeti” by Chase Hadden.
UPDATE: CLYW has posted on their Facebook page “First release on August 9th at Worlds at the YoYoBESTBUY booth and online at YoYoExpert at midnight!” Thanks to reader Diggles (heh) for the heads up!
Charles Haycock grabs a Summit and throws down another CLYW Cabin Tutorial, this one for “Brazilian Whip Technique”. Original trick concept by Whip, music by Chase Hadden.
The Little Scrappy Fetus Crew dropped another quickie video, this one featuring Chase Hadden, Eric Koloski, Alec Campbell, and Adam Demarchi.
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.
Chase Hadden dropped a new video on the LSFC channel last night, showing off one of the nicest single-throw combos we’ve seen lately. Yoyo used is the CLYW x OneDrop Summit.
The notorious Little Scrappy Fetus Crew recently announced the addition of 1A G.O.A.T. Yuuki Spencer to their ragtag bunch, and decided to celebrate with three short videos. They also used some pretty NSFW music and poked a little bit of fun at a certain 5A GOAT along the way, which is decidedly rude for a group that’s 83% Canadian. It’s all in fun. Grab your headphones and check out the videos below, and if you wanna read more not-necessarily-yoyo-related swearin’ on tumblr you can do that too.
P.S. A little birdie told me that Jensen thinks bearing play is dead. Actually, that birdie was Jensen, I was just being coy. How does this make you feel?! Argue with us about it in the comments!
Two-minutes and forty-five seconds of impeccable style from Chase Hadden and Adam Demarchi. Brilliant concepts and execution, and the flapping heart at 0:44 is hilarious.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Chase Hadden has officially joined the CLYW Team, and he came on-board with an introduction from former World YoYo Champion, Jensen Kimmitt. In Jensen’s words:
Greatness is often misconceived as some kind of eccentric ability that is some how built into a person from birth. While this can’t really be proven or disproven, I believe that true greatness is a combination of natural talent and just plain hard work. You can see it in some people, we all know one or two who have that certain magic about them. Some turn out to seemingly fulfill their destiny while others fade away into mediocrity; held back by fears and doubt. Work ethic is the deciding factor in the cultivation of that one in a million spark that those few people possess.
To call Chase Hadden a prodigy may be saying too much or quite possibly not enough. The kid is just plain dope at everything he touches. Toys become instruments, instruments become fluid expressions, the simplest of concepts are transformed from mundane to multi-faceted. It’s all there: an entire skill-set and vision just waiting to be unleashed on the masses. The only question is what will become of the person behind the undeniable talent? In my heart, and I don’t say this often, but I really believe that this kid has something special to share with the world. I hope he puts the work in that is necessary to do justice to such an impressive mind.
On that note I would like to formally introduce the newest member of the CLYW team and my good friend, Chase Hadden.
-World Yo-Yo Champion, Jensen Kimmitt
Congratulations to Chase and CLYW!
Everything about this video is just too damn good. Seriously.
Chase did the song for the video, too, which you can listen to on his Soundcloud page, or buy (support the artist!) on his Bandcamp page.
