Yoyofficer’s Ilya Shaposhnikov put together a great look at this year’s Russian YoYoing Competition. There is some really good technical play coming out of the Russian scene, and has been for years. The Russian yoyo industry has had some problems finding stability, but there is loads of talent there…great to see a contest really bringing all that talent together!

Part 5 – Yuji
Moscow-based filmmakersIvan Shmelev & Marina Smetanina invited Russian yoyo player Yuji to take part in their P.art documentary series – a multi-season documentary about the city, people and their lifestyle around a particular artistic pursuit or ideology. The result is a beautiful and haunting portrait of a yoyo player who represents all of us; singularly focused, almost to the exclusion of all else, on that next trick or concept.
Subtitled in English.
YoYoFactory Dogma – Choose Your Own Adventure
YoYoFactory’s Igor Galiev just dropped a super awesome new video, with a great twist. It starts off as a typical “day in the life” video, but the viewer gets to choose what he does next…leading eventually to a new tutorial or videos featuring his recently released signature yoyo, the YoYoFactory Dogma.
This is a really neat concept, executed well, and the results are a ton of fun. Plus, anything that gets us more video from Igor Galiev is pretty good, right?
Some notes from Igor:
This is a YouTube video game life simulator with ability to affect life choices of Russian yoyo master Igor Galiev during his day off. Be careful your choices will affect his life! But do not worry, because we have a “replay” button.
For best experience we recommend you to play video on your computer browser at 1080p 60fps and use good sound system or headphones. However, you can play on your mobile device, but it will simplify your gaming experience. While use your mobile device on iOS or Android you must run video in Youtube app. (not mobile browser!)

YoYoFactory Presents: Ilya Matros
I’ll let Ben McPhee tell you about this one:
On my first trip to Russia the yoyo scene was about 50 deep. They hung out in their own smaller crews, some guys were older and into other things as well but everyone came together often to hangout and play. There were known meeting spots across the city where you could just come and trust other yo-yos would come by too. The scene grew, matured, money came into it for some people, there were factions and eventually it maxed out and started to decline. Those who are left are now the hardcore. Some stayed around from the start, some came in later and drive it with a new passion. Ilya Matros is one of the new driving forces. He has contest results, a stack of video clips but he hasn’t reached his peak yet, nor has yo-yoing in Russia. It might be a bumpy road but I look forward to Russian yo-yoing growing once again so Russia can become the global powerhouse it can be in international yo-yoing.
