YoYoSkills.com Birthday - Announcement 1
As many of you know, YoYoSkills.com turns 2 on August 20th. I am celebrating this by offering a contest to all my readers. Over the last two years, YoYoSkills.com has grown and exceeded all my expectations I could ever have had for this little project. Right now we range from 13,000 -18,000 page views A DAY which is around half a million views a month! YoYoSkills.com could have never grown this big without the support of the readers, stores, and manufactures and it humbles me to see my project take off the way it has. To say Thank You, I have decided to hold a “Twitter Based” contest.
So all that you already knew…. Todays announcement concerns the prizes. Duncan, YoYoJam, OneDrop, 3yo3, and YoYoExpert have all pledged to put an item into the prize basket. It is possible that more companies will join this celebration. Early estimates at this point have the prize pool to over $300 in yoyo goods. A slight change also. You may now enter this contest as many times as you like. That is to say, once you follow YoYoSkills on Twitter, every time you retweet the contest message below you increase your odds of winning the prize box.
All you have to do is at twitter.com/YoYoSkills and retweet this message AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT:

The NEW Duncan FH2
These are the new FH2 colors from Duncan. AS you can see above, the new model has a few slight mold changes, but more importantly, a recessed pad setup.
I have seen them at Toys R Us. What you want to look for (other than the new colors) is to see if Brandon Jackson is on the back of the packaging. (Thanks Vega for the tip)

Duncan Wiz-z-zer’s are BACK!
Man does this take me back. When I was just a kid in the 80’s, I freakin loved these Wiz-z-zer tops. I would grab my Mom’s largest Salad bowl and rev up 3 or 4 of them and just watch it all go down Battle Wiz-z-zer style!
I am juiced that they are back. I want one, and I want to destroy it from prolonged play.
(I’ll get Josh from String Burn live to DOCK to the first person to make a “He wants to play with is Wiz-z-zer” joke…)
So, Stores near you?????
Hyper Yo-Yo Unveiled - Yomega, Duncan AND YoYoFactory!!!
This is HUGE news. We have all been speculating, hearing rumors and now we have some proof.
(above image from Singapore YoYoing Blog)
Also, if you go to Hyper Yo-Yo’s website, you get more.
So it looks like Yomega and YoYoFactory are the brands that Hyper Yo-Yo are working with. I don’t know what the Duncan models look like yet.
If there is anyone that can fluently read Japanese and feels like translating what these pictures say, it would be very appreciated.
UPDATED: Large Breakdown picture including the Duncan model after the jump
