YoYo Related News From Around The World
Kyle Nations and Trevor Boice filmed a new video part at Go Big Skill Toys this past weekend, and it’s great! There’s a ton of fun stuff in here, although Trevor needs to step up his “landing the trick at the end” game a little. Neat concepts, though.
Yoyos used are the SPYY x TMBR eh, CLYW Chief, and a 1970’s Duncan Butterfly.
Tyler Severance landed a nice interview in the Shawnee Dispatch to promote the YoYoFactory 80-70-80 tour’s upcoming appearances in Kansas City, Kansas and the surrounding areas on March 24th – 28th.
Tyler, Clint Armstrong, and Joe Wilson will all be appearing at area schools and Go Big Skill Toys, and working hard to create more new yoyo players.
Severance said the goal of Team YoYoFactory, which is made up of a group national and world yo-yo champions, is to change the negative perceptions that exist about yo-yos and yo-yoing.
“We want to show them that yo-yos are so much different now,” he said.
The main difference is how yo-yos have evolved with the addition of the ball bearing in the middle.
“Now you can learn and do the same tricks we are doing with the same yo-yo if they practice,” he said.
Severance, along with his YoYoFactory teammates, Joe Wilson and Clint Armstrong, plan to bring that message to Shawnee later this month for a weeklong visit.
Team YoYoFactory will be appearing at Go Big Skill Toys, 12156 Shawnee Mission Parkway, from March 24-29.
In this video featuring Jakub and Daniel Konečný we get to see the Micro Spinning Tops made by Ben Kober. These tiny little beauties are currently available in-store only at Go Big Skill Toys in Shawnee Mission, Kansas for about $30 each.
They look to be about the same size as the vintage Royal Chiquito tops that many die-hard top spinners are familiar with, except these aluminum tops are WAY more functional!
