Slusny just posted some freestyle videos from a Duncan YoYo Contest they held on June 1st at Albert Hypermarket Pruhonice. Don’t have any details beyond that, but here are the Top 4!
1ST – ROBERT KUČERA
2ND – KRISZTIAN KALUZSA
3RD – DAVID KREIBICH
Krisztian Kalusza is inspired
The 2010 UK National Champion, Krisztian Kalusza, sends us a heads up about his participation on Vodafone Racing’s campaign, Raiser Your Game. Check it out!
Krisztian is also taking part in Platform33’s Summer Party project, showing his skills alongside other artists and performers:
Good stuff, Krisztian!
Krisztian Kaluzsa leaves CLYW
Another big name team departure was announced. This was posted by Krisztian on Facebook:
Krisztian had been on the Canada-based CLYW team since 2009, and recently represented the brand on the European Yo-yo Championships. Krisztian had previously been part of Team YoyoJam.
No announcements have been made so far regarding any new team he might be joining, but C3 and One Drop seem to be the most popular guesses on his Facebook page.
CLYW Team En Masse at EYYC
Looks like Prague will see the biggest reunion of the Caribou team yet. Confirmed presences so far for the Canadian manufacturer are all European team members: from Iceland, Palli Gudmundsson; from the UK, Krisztian Kaluzsa; from the Czech Republic itself, Petr Kavka and Zdenek Hybl. Norwegian skateboarding ninja Pekka Lovas is back on the team and will be attending EYYC as well. From the other side of the Atlantic, the rioting duo Abe Ziaimehr and John-Bot will be attending, and CLYW boss Chris Mikulin will also be there for the family meeting.
Krisztian placed 5th and Petr placed 7th in this year’s contest, and will no doubt be fighting for the title in 2012. Petr has been competing in several contests in the continent, including Hungarian Nationals, Spanish Nationals, Austria-Slovakia Nationals, and a 3rd place finish at the Czech Nationals back in October and should be well prepared for EYYC. Both are also competing in the international division of the Russian Yo-yo Contest this weekend in Moscow.

Russian Yo-yo Contest International Division
On December 3rd and 4th, Moscow will host the sixth Russian Yo-yo Contest.
A very welcome addition this year is the Open International Division, which kicks off with a very strong line-up: world champions Marcus Koh (Singapore) and Kentaro Kimura (Japan) from Turning Point, Krisztian Kaluzsa (UK) and Petr Kavka (Czech Republic) from CLYW, Augie Fash, Ann Connolly (USA) and Vashek Kroutil (Czech Republic) from YoyoFactory, and Kohta Watanabe (Japan) from Duncan Crew will all compete in the new division, along with European champions Nandor Groger and David Molnar.
On the home front, YoyoFactory’s Victor Gravitsky will try to defend his title against an ever growing local competition. The Russian winner will receive a trip to the European Yo-yo Contest, to be held in January, in Prague. All divisions will be held for Russian players, including an Artistic Performance division.
In addition to the international guests, the Winter Aero-Yo Fest, featuring a range of juggling and skill toys, should make this a most excellent event!
