YoYoNews Best of 2014 Winners!

February 1, 2015 By YoYoNews

YoYoNews Best of 2014 Winners
The results are in! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who voted, we appreciate your support! And now…here are your winners for the YoYoNews Best of 2014!

Best 1A Player – Takeshi Matsuura

1A_Takeshi
5A World Champion  Takeshi Matsuura squeaked out a win here in a narrow margin over US National and 44Clash Champion Zach Gormley. Takeshi took 2nd Place in 1A at the 2014 World YoYo Contest, and everyone is looking to him for a win on his home turf at the World YoYo Contest in Tokyo this year. It’s rare for a player to be such a threat in multiple divisions, but Takeshi’s skill is off the charts and everyone is looking to him to be the next Shinji Saito. And speaking of…

Best 2A Player – Shinji Saito

Best 2A Player of 2014
12-time World Champion Shinji Saito ran away with your votes this year, proving that even after a year of very little contest activity his skill still absolutely dominates the minds of yoyo players everywhere. YoYoFactory’s Shu Takada toook the next highest percentage of votes, and is definitely a favorite for this year’s event in Tokyo. If Shinji doesn’t compete, Shu’s only real competition will be reigning World Champion Takuma Yamamoto, and that’s going to be a close match.

Best 3A Player – Hajime Miura

Screen Shot 2015-02-01 at 10.40.36 AM

sOMEThING’s Hajime Miura, the current World Champion, brought home a solid win over 3-time World Champion Hank Freeman. Hajime and Hank are the top two 3A players in the world these days, and either of them could take home the gold on any given day. With Hajime just coming in to his prime, and Hank gearing up for a completely new 3-minutes of tricks for the 2015 World YoYo Contest, the only thing that’s certain is we’re going to get one hell of a show.

Best 4A Player – Rei Iwakura

Screen Shot 2015-02-01 at 10.43.28 AM
4-time World Champion Rei Iwakura (who recently announced his departure from Team YoYoJam) ran away with the win in our reader poll, but Michael Nakamura and Ben Conde nearly tied for second place. Zac Rubino has been making a lot of noise on the contest scene, but hasn’t built up his fan base just year. With Rei stepping down from YoYoJam and possibly changing his role in yoyoing to focuse more on performing and organizing, this could leave the field wide open for next year.

Best 5A Player – Takeshi Matsuura

Screen Shot 2015-02-01 at 10.49.19 AM
6-time World YoYo Champion Takeshi Matsuura took an easy win in the “Best 5A Player” category, much like he does at nearly every contest he enters. Even with the 5A division losing popularity around the world, Takeshi’s skills are still recognized and rewarded by players and judges alike.

Best Video – Riccardo Fraolini’s Entire Instagram Feed

Screen Shot 2015-02-01 at 11.22.31 AM
This was an INCREDIBLY tight race, but the winner by just FOUR votes is Riccardo Fraolini! His Instagram feed for the past year has been the site of some of the most mind-blowing yoyo tricks ever captured on video, and even though everyone agreed that Piotrek Smietana’s “10,000 Hours” is one of the greatest yoyo videos of all time, Riccardo’s tricks were just too amazing not to win.

Best Contest Freestyle – Ky Zizan (Las Vegas Open YoYo Championship, 1A)

Screen Shot 2015-02-01 at 11.27.45 AM
Ky Zizan’s 1A Freestyle at the 2014 Las Vegas Open was mind-blowing. The tricks were dense and flawless, the choreography to music was impeccable, and when he came out on stage and dropped his shirt to reveal a custom HOOPZ jersey designed for him by Paul Escolar, we knew all hell was about to break loose. Ky has been making some strong moves at yoyo contests over the past couple of years, and with a seed to the Semi-Finals at the 2015 World YoYo Contest in Tokyo it’s safe to say we can expect big things from him this year.

Best Contest – 2014 World YoYo Contest

Screen Shot 2015-02-01 at 11.42.06 AM
It’s no surprise to anyone that 2014 Worlds took top honors in this reader poll. From the venue to the 4-camera HD live stream, from the incredible amount of talent on stage to the sightseeing and after-parties in Prague, the 2014 World YoYo Contest was the absolute pinnacle of yoyo contests worldwide in the modern yoyoing era. Hats off and high-fives to Jan Kordovsky, Ondra Sedivy, and the entire Czech yoyo scene for hosting such an incredible event. The gauntlet has been thrown…the 2015 World YoYo Contest in Tokyo, Japan has a lot to live up to!

Congratulations to all of our winners, and thanks so much to all of our readers for their votes!

CLYW Video Contest Results

December 23, 2013 By Steve Brown

CLYW has posted the final results of their video contest!

Something about CLYW really brought out the best in people, because the entries for this contest are some of the best we’ve ever seen for any yoyo video contest. Winners are below, along with the commentary from CLYW. Congratulations, everyone!

First off I wanted to thank everyone for putting the time into creating such wonderful works of art! We were blown away by all of the amazing videos that came in for Round 1, and the top 10 did not disappoint for Round 2. Our favourite video was CMAK’s, it had everything we were looking for and more. It had a great story and was visually stunning. WOW!

CMAK is the winner of the full 2014 Collection, we’ll be shipping him an Arctic Circle: 2nd Expedition, Gnarwhal 2, Bonfire and Puffin 2. Once we get back from holidays we’ll start shipping everything out to our contestants.

For Most Inspiring, we have the Trinity YoYo Club’s video. It was incredibly touching and definitely catches what yoyoing is all about to all of us. We really enjoyed your use of the skateboarding quote. The Trinity YoYo Club has done so much for yoyoing this year and has helped inspire a whole new generation of throwers. Hats off to you guys!

For Most Dope, we have Andy Jones’ video. I think this has happened to all of us, you’re completely in the zone feeling like a yoyo rockstar and then BAM taken right back down with the words How old are you? You sure brought it Andy and we’re super impressed with how good you’re getting. WOW!

For Slickest Tricks, we have Chase Baxter. You brought the tricks, well done!

Each of these honourable mentions will be getting a brand new Bonfire along with a Yeti for winning Round 1. Thanks so much guys!
