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?

While I am sure that Guy Wright could make a 50ft extension cord play like magic, he sure is moving with that Spyy Pro nicely. Want a Spyy Pro like Guy Wright? You can win one you know.

The YoYoSkills.com + SPYY Video Contest
Steve from SPYY has said that the new SPYY Pro was his most Unresponsive throw yet, which made me think that a perfect contest to give one away would be a video contest where you only use RESPONSIVE yo-yos! Here is how it works:
- Record your best 1a, 3a or 5a freestyle using a RESPONSIVE yo-yo.
- New Footage Only
- Use the Image HERE (or HERE) as your opening image
- Edit to your hearts content - All entries must be 1-3 minutes in length.
- Add “Radio Safe” music
- Upload to Youtube or Vimeo
- Title your video “YoYoSkills.com x Spyy Video Contest - (Your Name Here)”
- Add a comment below with a link to YOUR video
- All entries must be in by June 30th
UPDATE: For Clarification, and because I have 15 emails asking the same thing, You may use ANY Tug Responsive yo-yo for this contest but it MUST be used in 1a and/or 5a for the video. DO NOT BIND. You MUST show that the yo-yo responds on a TUG.
The winner will be chosen by a panel of judges including but not limited to myself Chris Allen, Ed Haponik, and Dustin Gunter and will receive a BRAND NEW SPYY PRO which has generously been donated by Steve from SPYY: Technology for Players.
You have three weeks (ish) so get going!

The Spyy Pro - Pictures and Video
Look at this new beast of a throw by Spyy. Steve tells me that this is his “Most Unresponsive” design yet!
The Pro is SPYY’s newest flagship throw. It features a massive catch zone and an ultra-low wall combined with extreme rim weighting to meet the needs of today’s competitive players.
SPYY Pro key points:
- super-super wide profile at 44mm
- ultra low-walled 4.5mm gap
- 54mm diameter
- 67.5g weight
- massive rim weight percentage
- no spike!
- recessed pads – accepts silicone
- dry large C bearing
- shipping to stores early June

EXCLUSIVE : New “Throw” from SPYY - SPYY Pro
Super awesome SPYY guy Steve sent me these exclusive pictures of a never before seen prototype, fresh off the machine.
Expect these to be finished and hit the stores in about a month or so.
SPYY Pro key points:
- super-super wide profile at 44mm width
- gap 4.5mm
- 54mm diameter
- weight 67.5g
- massive rim weight percentage. No spike and a short axle!
- super low wall
- recessed pads and accepts silicone
- C bearing
When you hold it in the hand it looks and feels like “all gap”. It’s
crazy stable, stays on plane and super long spinning… built this
with the competitor in mind.
Due to hit stores in a month or so.-Steve
