YoYoFactory Adventure – Thatcher, Arizona

May 16, 2018 By Steve Brown

YoYoFactory went off on another adventure! This one was a little closer to home that usual, and found Gentry Stein and Hans Van Dan Elzen road tripping to Thatcher, Arizona to meet up with one of the competitors from the recent Arizona State YoYo Contest to offer him a second chance. This video is a really sweet reminder that nearly every company in this industry is still just run by a handful of yoyo players. Hope you had a good time, Hiram!

YoYoFactory London 2018 ft. Gentry Stein & Ann Connolly

February 1, 2018 By Steve Brown

It warms my cold, black heart to see Gentry and Ann goofing off in London, Hans breaking a Guinness World Record for Most Loops in One Minute, and Gentry doing an interpretive dance on hoverboard to someone singing Journey at the London Toy Fair. I mean…this is pretty much all of my favorite things, really. Yoyos, classic rock, fog, tea, bridges, and good humans. Awesome!

Yoyos used are the YoYoFactory Shutter and Czech Point Pivot.

YoYoFactory’s Scariest Adventure

November 21, 2017 By Steve Brown

YoYoFactory Adventure Korea

YoYoFactory is known for a lot of things…great yoyos, a massive selection, and an incredible team of sponsored players. And in recent years they’ve become the ultimate yoyo travel company, bringing their players to the most exotic of locations for tricks, good times, and incredible photos and footage. Their most recent adventure didn’t find anyone throwing yoyos though, since it would increase their chances of getting shot.

You should absolutely stop what you are doing and head over to their site for the full blog post on this trip. Here’s an excerpt, to give you an idea what kind of intense experience this was:

North Korea is now off limits to US citizens. Visitors from other nations can access it via China and we know a number of people who have visited in the last 2 years. None of them recommended going. Since the capture and ultimate death US tourist Otto Warmbier its something we wouldn’t consider doing…. but there is another way to visit.

Its safe they say. Organized tours leave Seoul daily shuttling camera toting tourists to the DMZ (demilitarized zone). This area is 6km back from where the battle line was when a ceasefire on the Korean Peninsula was called in 1953. Roughly following the 38th parallel, the  DMZ stretches almost 150-mile-long.

Located within the territory is the “truce village” of P’anmunjom here North Korean and American soldiers stand face to face.  This is part of the Joint Security Area (JSA) which is used by the two Koreas for diplomatic engagements and, until March 1991, was also the site of military negotiations between North Korea and the United Nations Command (UNC). Now its is used for posturing. Loud speakers blare propaganda, both directions.

While the military stands face to face, guns ready. So do tourists. From the South and North.

Head over to YoYoFactory.com and check this out. And hats off to Ben and Gentry for bringing us all along for such an amazing journey!

Baby Raptors – Strings ft. Gentry Stein

June 13, 2017 By Steve Brown

Gentry Stein is kicking off his teen heart throb career nice and proper with a starring role in the new video from Baby Raptors for their song “Strings”. He plays an empathetic bartender with a big fat crush on the lead singer, whose boyfriend is a total jerkwad. True love and yoyo tricks ensue. Nice work from Gentry, and a nice looking video to make yoyoing look cool to the general public. Congrats, Gentry!

He’s also been doing some pretty crazy appearances to promote the release…like a shirtless routine with glow body paint.

One of the most epic experiences on stage live with @baby_raptors at #houseofyesnyc

Around The World – Paris

March 20, 2017 By Steve Brown

OMG BEN CONDE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WE MISSED YOU BUDDY! Ben Conde finally pops up again with a new video (and it’s been so long we nearly missed it, totally our fault), and we get the double bonus of him hanging out with World YoYo Champion Gentry Stein and European Offstring Champion Quentin Godet, and we get a sneak peek at his new yoyo from YoYoFactory. Ok, so that was worth the wait, I guess.
