HSpin H20 - Buy it Sight Unseen!
If you head over to the HSpin Store, you will find out that you can now order the HSpin H20. I have no idea what it looks like, but there you go, you can buy it.
Here was my first hint at the H20, from the HSpin Twitter
H2O halves arrived from Italy in Switzerland for packaing… need to re-train the guys that usually package the hspin-axle yoyos.
Interesting. I wonder why they need to go to Italy….
This is what the HSpin store is showing.

Steve Brown Presents - “Thrown” Yo-Yo art exhibit
This is a press release from SpankyStokes.com. It talks about Steve Brown’s new art exhibit to be seen at the Shoparooni store (and website) . I am really excited about this, because the YoYo community has some of the most unique and creative individuals I have ever met. Way to go Steve!
“Thrown” is an exhibit of yo-yo related artwork, created entirely by yo-yo players!
Ink drawings, paintings, airbrush, silkscreen, customized yo-yos, and plenty more from a motley assemblage of yo-yo players young and old will take over theShoparooni Annex.
Yo-Yos are a creative endeavour that is generally abandoned with youth. Through this assemblage of works from adults and young adults who never stopped playing, we hope to present the art of yo-yo play as seen through the eyes of the people who never gave it up. Also, there will be beer. Honestly a Yo-Yo show, how cool is that, and I am into the name for the show “Thrown” AWESOME!
Participating artists include:
Seth Peterson (IA), Mark McBride (CA), John Higby (MA), Krisgoat (OR), Steve Brown (OH), Sonny Patrick (CA), Drew Tetz (MO), Jensen Kimmitt (Canada), Doc Pop (CA), Paul Escolar (CA), Ashkahn Shahparnia (CA), Eric Carlson (WV), Saxton Moore (OH), Mark Hayward (PA)
For those who cannot attend, all works will be available online after the opening at www.shoparooni.com!

Review - Head to Head - PGM vs PGMv2
The new version of the Plastic Grind Machine (Affectionately referred to as the Chinese Grind Machine) has replaced its predecessor with a 10 dollar cheaper price tag. The question looms on many peoples minds, what all has changed? I don’t usually write a whole new review for a small version change, but this change has alot of people wondering…. What is the difference?
I have previously reviewed the YoYoFactory Grind Machine in a head to head with the YoYoJam Legacy. This time, I am taking the new version of the PGM, and pitting it against the old version.

Spyy Pure - “What Recession / Gold Dipped” Edition hits YoYoNation
Sp yeah, I am selling a Kidney. Any buyers?
$350.00 at YoYoNation right NOW!
Also, to commemerate the launch, the YoYoNation logo was dipped in Gold also!
Quote from YoYoNation.
No, this is not just “gold anodized.” This is PURE 18k GOLD PLATED for a genuine gold look and feel. It FEELS luxurious (and quite frankly, it IS).
Not one detail was left behind when considering the SPYY Pure Gold yo-yo.
Besides the 18k gold-ness of the yo-yo, it comes in a beautiful WALNUT snap-close jewelry style box, on its own little pillow. Under the pillow, you’ll find a string…with a metallic GOLD fleck intertwined through the 100% polyester string. And as I metioned above, the response system is a gold/black splashed CHAZ PAD, completing the amazing look.
To top it all off, the SPYY PURE GOLD yo-yo comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Steve Buffel (of SPYY) himself.

Featured Video - Bergy in “Organic Box”
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Featured Videos on June 26th, 2009
Bergy is one of my favorite young yo-yoers. He suffers from puretalentitus which is a genetic disorder that causes him to be better than you at pretty much anything he wants.
Face it, this kid could out yo-yo Bobby Fisher
Awesome work Bergy!
