YoYoFactory – 80-70-80 Tour

February 28, 2014 By Steve Brown

YoYoFactory 80 70 80 Tour

YoYoFactory is back on tour! The gang has loaded up into the van for another run at traveling across the United States and teaching new players about the art and sport of yoyoing. Here is a list of tour stops…keep an eye on their Facebook page for more details.

  • Feb. 24th – 28th – Nevada City, CA
  • March 1st – California State YoYo Contest – Sacramento, CA
  • March 3rd – 8th – Salt Lake City, UT
  • March 10th – 21st – Denver, CO
  • March 24th – 28th – Kansas City, MO
  • March 31st – April 5th – Chicago, IL

The van rolled out of our base in Phoenix Arizona Feb 19. It wouldn’t be a road trip without some unexpected delays and a new water pump (to replace the one we just replaced!) saw us get to our staging point in SF a little later than expected. The crew onboard, Clint, Joe and Tyler would be de-touring to Seattle for PNWR to collect Ann and get to our first official tour stop, Nevada City California. Where you say? Nevada City Its a small Gold Rush town located 60 miles NE of Sacramento. Why? Why not! The store owners at Mountain Pastimes were super enthusiastic about having us out so here we are!

YoYoFactory has started updating us from their freshly started 2013 Rocky Mountain Tour:

What better way to start of the YoYoFactory Rocky Mountain Tour then, in the Rockies! As part of the tour, we set up at the USASA Snowboard National Contest in Copper, CO. From the minute we set up, people were hanging out playing Yo-Yo. Quite a few people already had skills and were throwing modern unresponsive YoYoFactory.

Expect to see plenty more updates as they wind their way through Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins.

An action-packed weekend approaches!

July 12, 2012 By Rafael Matsunaga

Yo-yo players around the globe are in for a treat this weekend!

In Asia, two huge contests will be held starting tomorrow. The Asia Pacific Yo-yo Championships, in Singapore, will be held from Friday to Sunday at the Hougang Mall. The other big event in the region is the China Yo-yo Corporation Championship in Guangzhou. While it’s unfortunate that the big names will be divided between the two contest, it makes for an exciting weekend nonetheless!

In the Americas, the US West Coast will host the Birdhouse Left Coast Tour, which brings along the YoyoFactory team. Also in the US, the traditional Mideast Regionals will take place in Plymouth, MI. Down south, Brazil Nationals will be held in São Paulo, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Brazilian Yo-yo Association.

And in just a couple of weeks, the Triple Crown of Yoyo in Chicago, and the World Yo-yo Contest will surely be the highlights of the contest season!
