The Kengarden Store?!?!?
FINALLY NEWS THAT IS NOT A VIDEO!!!!!
I mean, don’t get me wrong, videos are great, just the “news” side of YoYoSkills has been kind of light lately. So check this out. Jake Wiens, founder of the Kengarden, international man of kendama mastery (not a typo) has worked out a deal with premium Bay Area clothing maker and “don’t call me a consignment store” consignment store San Franpsycho . The Kengarden Store will adorn an entire wall and will be filled with kendama, yoyo, art, and other goodness. It opens THIS FRIDAY!
Facebook page for more info.
Consider this THE PLACE to be the day before BAC. A Yo-Yo and Kendama pre-contest party. I wish I could be there, but I have this pesky thing called a job so consider me there in spirit.
NSC – Labor Of Love
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Featured Videos, News on May 20th, 2013
Just saw this video from Northern Spin Company which is essentially a love letter to its fans from the Canadian company. If you ever wonder what kind of love and passion goes into a yo-yo, this is a video to watch.

Ladies and gentlemen… The laws of physics have been officially broken.
I Don’t Understand….
Just when I thought I was getting good at 5A….
HEC-TV | It’s A St. Louis Thing: The World On A String
HEC-TV attended MOYO Yo-Yo and made a short feature on it.
Good coverage, if not a bit of overkill on the techno audio background and purposly corny tv news jokes
Take a look and watch the 3 minute feature at HEC-TV
GraZe (4A) – ft. Tomohiko Zanka
Tomohiko Zanka really nails this incredible 4A demonstration. 4A is really becoming a stand out style as of late, and it is exciting to see players like Tomohiko Zanka really punch the boundaries and reach.
Zac Rubino – 4AKen Video
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Featured Videos, News on May 7th, 2013
This was pretty much the first time he attempted the 4A and Kendama mashup. The result was inspiring.
Zac Rubino ladies and gentlemen
Zac Rubino brings us 4a-Ken at KendaMAY
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Contest Reports, News on May 6th, 2013
This was his first attempt. Then he got on stage and free-styled it, which caused the Kendama guys to plox
Keep in mind that this is after 20 minutes of trial and error
Hopefully I can find someone who caught it on video.

Black’s TED appearance and Interview at Gizmodo Japan
A bit rough to read in the translator, but it looks like Gizmodo Japan interviewed Black about his recent Ted Talk. Pretty cool, and great exposure for yoyoing (and Black).
WALTER – It is coming + Promo Video
This is a yo-yo that I have been looking forward to for a long time. Peep this sweet promo video!
Doc’s Edit:
This has been in the works for a while and it has me excited also.
From Spencer Berry:
All numbered Walters are matte black. Due to the nature of the process, some also have a bit of a splash/spray in shades of black. The hardcoat marks very easily and can be colored on with colored pencil (erases), crayon (doesn’t come off easily), or chalk (barely). The hardcoat means it can take a lot more abuse – but it can be scuffed a lot easier.
Walter will come in a custom made wood box.
They will each be sanded (to prevent the rough texture of the blasting from breaking string), oiled (10-ball shieldless bearings with 3in1), and assembled.
They come with either flowable silicone or CLYW snow tires (the turquoise ones, aka “all season”) for response. This will need to be replaced eventually if you are a ripper. Be a ripper!
Walter will ship with Kitty String FAT, most likely in Gold.
CLYW came on to help put the finishing touches on the CAD work and helped finance it, OneDrop did the machine work, and Anti-Yo assisted with the blast finish
The Walter is a unique, slim line yo-yo that is particular to the type of tricks Spencer Berry likes. It is not for everyone, but no doubt that everyone will want one. Limited to 100 pieces.
You can pre-order the Walter soon from Spencer Berry on his website
RecRev Presents: Sine//Saw feat. Anthony Rojas
Anthony’s tricks are out of this world. Video features some upcoming RecRev yo-yos. I believe the @ and the delrin version of the Freq.wav are used.
