2010 - The Season of Jensen Kimmitt
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Contest Reports, News, Videos on August 17th, 2010
Jensen switched sponsors in March from CLYW based in Canada to the Arizona based company YoYoFactory
Jensen Kittmitt won the 2010 World Yo-Yo Contest. This is news that everyone already knows. There is something more amazing that just Jensen’s World Yo-Yo Contest win. A fact that I don’t think enough people either don’t know or just are not talking about. Here it is:
Jensen Kimmitt had a “Perfect Year”
In the 2010 season (Which starts after WYYC in August), Jensen competed in 7 contests all over the world. From giant invitation only contests like 44 Clash competition in Japan, to the smaller California State Yo-Yo Championship in Sacramento, Jensen competed in 7 championship level contests and took every single one of them.
So what does this mean? Basically, the Canadian citizen Jensen Kimmitt is the simply the Undisputed 2010 Yo-Yo Champion. Every contest he attended he conquered. You would think that a champion of this magnitude would be cocky or arrogant, but having met Jensen on multiple occasions, shared talks of industry directions over pizza, and exchanged correspondence helping him promote his Canadian Web Store ModernYoYoing.com, I can say without a doubt that Jensen is one of the most humble, easy going, and approachable yoyo professionals currently in the competition circuit.
I have collected all of Jensen’s freestyles from the 2010 season, most in High Definition, for your viewing pleasure after the jump.
Professional competitive World Champion Yo-Yoer, self starter business man, part time illustrator, bogarder of Parmesan cheese….. and heck of a nice guy, here is a look back at Jensen Kimmitts 2010 “Perfect Season”

Regarding the Twitter Birthday Contest
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Contest Reports, News on August 3rd, 2010
Alright, We have over 9000 tweets, and TONS of incredible prizes. Here is the question.
I have gotten some strong feedback that concentrating all the Prizes all to 1st place is not the way to go. Obviously I am at day 14 of this promotion; so hard to just change the ‘Prize’ but I am considering the suggestions I have gotten about spreading out the prizes to include more in the “Fun of Winning” as a good friend of mine put it. So… Look below and vote. Whatever gets the MOST votes by this Friday will be the direction the contest moves.
If this rule was to go into place, it would be 5 winners, 1 prize per winner.
Speak, Your opinion matters here.

The SPYY x YoYoSkills.com Contest Entries
Posted by Dr. Yo-Yo in Contest Reports, News on July 1st, 2010
Over the course of the next week (or so) myself Chris “Dr. Yo-Yo” Allen, My editor Dustin “Dictionary Fingers” Gunter, Ed “I hop when I do Eli Hops” Haponik, and Steve “Merchant of Precision” Buffel will be viewing these videos and picking out favorites. There is no strict voting process, but we will be looking at trick difficulty, video composition, presentation, and overall impression. Each judge will pick their three favorites in order of most favorite: Most favorite worth 3, runner up worth 2, and the last favorite worth 1. The video with the most points will win a brand new SPYY Pro.
The video’s are on display after the jump. The Winner will be announced on July 9th.
So, I want to know, not that it will affect the judging in any way shape or form, who do YOU think should win?
