Ask.fm is a site that basically just allows people to ask someone a question and (possibly) get an answer. It’s simple and brilliant.

YoYoFactory lead the way here, and with over 500 questions answered it’s a great look at one of the most popular yoyo companies in the world. Yomega recently jumped on board as well, and just for kicks I got in on the action myself. Links are below for all the yoyo-related pages we could find on Ask.fm….ask away!

YoYoRadio To Break News About World YoYo Contest

By

World YoYo Contest

This week’s YoYoRadio broadcast will feature an interview with Ondrej Sedivy, Rafael Matsunaga and Hironori Mii. The three international yoyoers will make an announcement on YoYoRadio about the future of the hotly-contested World Yo-Yo Contest, and YoYoRadio will be the first place they will make this announcement.

Looks like we’re finally going to get some answers to the tremendous number of questions raised by the announcement last August that a group of yoyo players were actively working towards creating a rival World YoYo Contest after several years of failed negotiations with the current World YoYo Contest organizer to improve and move the event.

The current World YoYo Contest has been stagnant for quite a few years now, and while a great deal of thanks are due to Greg Cohen, who took over the contest more than a decade ago, it’s clear that it’s now time for the event to evolve beyond what is currently being offered. While the manner in which this “takeover” was held was certainly counterproductive, no one can deny that hiding the contest away in a hotel ballroom for the past decade hasn’t helped the sport or industry in the slightest. We’re greatly looking forward to hearing this broadcast, and will be tuned in with everyone else to find out what is happening.

YoYoRadio is the world’s first internet radio show by and for yoyoers. Started in 2005, YoYoRadio broadcasts live each Friday at 9:30 pm (EST). Listeners can listen live and/or download the one hour show after the fact. To listen to the live show, click the ‘Listen Now’ tab at YoYoRadio.net between 9:30 pm and 11 pm (EST) on Fridays. To listen to previous shows, click the ‘Show Archive’ Tab at YoYoRadio.net. Listeners can call the show via Skype (yoyoradio) or via phone (302) 319-9696.

Joe Mitchell just posted this up on the YoYoRadio Facebook page, and it’s well worth a listen.

Who was Harvey Lowe? He was the world’s first yo-yo champion, winning the 1934 world title in London, where the Canadian born Lowe was chilling with Edward VIII of the United Kingdom, Fats Waller, and Laurel and Hardy. He spent most of World War II in a concentration camp in China, came back to Canada and become a radio broadcaster. He also taught Julie Christie how to smoke opium for a movie role. To find out more about Harvey, listen to this interview we did with him back in 2005.
