Congratulations to our C3YoYoDesign x YoYoNews Mo-Vitation Giveaway Winner….Michael Ferdico! Check out his amazing winning trick below!
The C3YoYoDesign Mo-Vitation is the signature model of C3 Team Member Ethan “MoMo” Wong Wing Hang, and has been optimized for horizontal and finger-spin tricks. This v-shape yoyo plays incredibly fast and light, while maintaining a tremendous percentage of rim weight for maximum stability. The straight-line v-profile is comfortable in the hand and moves quickly and easily through all styles of tricks, but this yoyo really shines at horizontal play. The dimple area in the cup is designed specifically for finger spin tricks, and as you can see from the video below, the Mo-Vitation is perfectly optimized for this type of play.
C3YoYoDesign has always paid great attention to making sure their yoyos look as good as they play, and the Mo-Vitation is no different. The anodization is expertly applied with a deep, perfect black and a vivid pink wash. The yoyo features a bead blasted finish that makes it perfect for finger spins and other grinds, and gives the yoyo a sleek, elegant look. The engraving is impeccable, with even the tiniest of details rendered perfectly, and the overall design is subtle and aesthetically appealing.
The C3YoYoDesign Mo-Vitation retails for $90, making it a lower-end premium yoyo. It’s a stable, solid player that will get you through any contest in the world, and it looks as good as it plays. It’s hard to argue with the quality that C3YoYoDesign brings to the table, and this yoyo is worth the price for any serious player.
Want to win this C3YoYoDesign Mo-Vitation? Just post a video of your best horizontal trick to Instagram, with the hashtags #yoyonews #c3yoyodesign #ilovemomo. We’ll pick our favorite trick on June 16th at Noon EST, and the winner will receive the C3YoYoDesign Mo-Vitation seen above!
I’m pretty sure I speak for the entire YoYoNews team when I say that we would gladly watch Simpson yoyoing ALL. DAY. LONG.
Looks like C3YoYoDesign has some collaboration action going with IrPads. Not sure if this means MO-vitations are going to start shipping with IrPads installed?
C3YoYoDesign dropped another great product video for their Mo-vitation yoyo, this one featuring 2013 EYYC Women’s Division Champion, Julia Aleksandra Gutowska. Julia has some great tricks and a solid style…C3YoYoDesign made a great decision in adding her to the team.
Every contest has winners, losers, upsets, underdogs, surprises, victories, and defeats. But my favorite part of a yoyo contest doesn’t actually happen that often…it’s when someone gets on stage and does something that is so far off the norm that their placement becomes irrelevant. I’ve always personally been drawn to the more esoteric aspects of yoyo play. And while I love a good competition-crushing freestyle as much as the next guy, it’s the people who push boundaries that get me up out of my seat and reaching for a yoyo.
The 2013 European YoYo Championships was a mind-blowing event. I watched as much of the live stream as I could and there were so many fantastic performances….the winners very much deserved their titles and it’s almost a shame there weren’t more awards to give out. But one freestyle in particular had me jumping up and flipping out completely, and it was from a player I’ve only recently even heard about.
So, I’m officially giving my own personal Honorable Mention to Ethan Wong Wing Hang of C3YoYoDesign for his mind-blowing freestyle that was about 90% horizontal finger-spin tricks. It was absurdly bold and risky, and he nailed a lot of it. I have no idea if he really thought it would score high enough to get him the win, but he had to have known just how badly it could have gone…and he went for it anyway.
Absolutely amazing. Congrats to Ethan on becoming part of C3YoYoDesign, and on his new signature model, the MO-vitation. Check out his freestyle below!
