Two-time World YoYo Champion Shion Araya shows off his latest signature model and some of the tricks that got him to the top. Amazing.

C3yoyodesign has a pretty solid eye for up-and-coming talent (yes they do), and if they’re showcasing, I’m watching. Enjoy this video from C3 Rising Force team member Leo Chan!

C3yoyodesign Presents: Shion Araya – RADIUS
Right before the World YoYo Contest, our friends at C3yoyodesign dropped a new promo video for Shion Araya’s signature model, the Radius. Great timing, huh? Shion Araya went on to win the 1A Division at the World YoYo Contest with that yoyo, and now is a great time to check out this crazy good promo video. And you might as well check out his winning freestyle again, while you’re here. 😉

C3yoyodesign Presents: Radius Making Of
When Shion Araya wanted a new signature model, C3yoyodesign got to work. They talked to him about what he wanted and then created three different designs that all accomplished those goals in different ways. Through their Facebook page we got to see them walking through the prototyping process with these different iterations, and working through the process of Shion testing and deciding what worked best for him. Now we have the final product, releasing this weekend at the Hamamatsu YoYo Contest in Japan, and worldwide on May 2nd.
I’m forever amazed that C3yoyodesign isn’t a much larger company. I’m genuinely surprised when I walk around at a contest and I don’t see half the players throwing C3 yoyos. They are great people, who love what they do, and they make a wide range of genuinely fantastic products. They are deeply and intimately involved in every single step of the production process, and they are all passionate yoyo players who truly, madly love what they do.
This video is a great look at what it means to love what you do.
