also, Chris Allen from YoYoSkills took some pictures of the new YYF product, mainly their new neon series of the old models, nice!

YYF StarBrite, initially thought its a new offstring yoyo when i saw it on theYYF FB page's image shown below, but looking at the cap in the above pic, it should be a Die-Nasty yoyo in Neon color, with possible small changes to it! *correction, Chris Allen mentioned its  StarLite. so seems that the cap design has been changed to that from DieNasty's.

and also Neon FAST201! I Want!

and tees I think?

Duncan was having a Live Stream/Feeds of the event but I don't think they recorded any on the UStream site, however, Chris Allen did have some footage during the event, HERE.

And I think the YYFvideo youtube account is on the uploading process, so do check it out often.

Updates*
DuncanToys youtube account have several freestyles up too!

Darrell, congrats, you did great! REALLY!!! you are OUR champion! everyone said so! better luck next time, blame the game don't blame yourself. WeiXuan, YOU MADE IT DAMMIT!!!!!! more to kill! don't stop!!! keep it real!

Christopher thanks for dropping by, fun performance that is, and hanging around was fun, take a break this year, come back next year to tell them playtime's over.

2A, CONGRATS to Singapore Yoing Founder Alex Yao!!!! but then again, you know i know, WHY YOU AGAIN... Wong Wei Da, congrats defend your 2nd place, HAHA, better luck next time, Alex knows what he's doing!

JunJie, you can do better, really, work on it! Fajar, congrats, but making a comeback really needs more than that, work on it!

5A, ISHI.... how many times already? but its okay, don't stop killing them! Double Dice kills.

Sean Hung again, you wanted to take all division, and you got it, congrats, i can see how much you wants to take 1A too, and i believe you can top it, but create more own stuff? yea, good luck! YiChen, why 5A instead of 3A? LOL, com'on... okay.

spinners divisions.... Jereme, you did great, just not as good as that freestyle you showed me the week before, don't be discouraged, push yourself further, don't hope for people to perform bad, hope for yourself to become better!

US Nationals 2010 Freestyles

no embeds, just links.

some over at YYF's youtube account.
and some over at skibbyskib1's youtube account. 

enjoy the freestyles.
on a side note, maybe this message is more to the readers in the U.S?

Gabe from SECTOR-Y have posted on the YYN forum about their filming of freestyles at yoyo contests. Both Gabe and Matt have been the some of the primary filmers for contest freestyles, but they'll probably stop doing so due to personal reasons, clicky to read more.

so... yeah.
maybe its time for some body to take over.
we should appreciate that we can watch freestyles from other country, and stop complaining about the quality and shaky cams and stuff, yea?
at least we get to watch the freestyles.

DOT Yoyos: Update

More info about DOT Yoyo from Jan "Korda" Kordovsky:

here are some details about DOT company.

They introduced themselves at Czech Yoyo Nationals 2009 with their yoyo called 70p [little interesting fact - it's DOT logo flipped in 180°]. This yoyo has 2 versions. Standard one and Lite one which has only 58 grams but thanks to it's weight distribution it's not disturbing - it actually plays really great. Company has 2 owners - Jakub Kroutil and Adam Gaszcyk.

They're speciality is that [at least in CZ] they can produce a yoyo which you can completly customize. Think NIKE ID style. Colors, response system and even laser engraving - and still maintaining that 1600czk pricemark. Which is pretty remarkable.

In other Czech news - there's a new store/website called Projekt Jupiter - you can check it out at: http://projektjupiter.cz/ .

Also - we can now confirm that Czech Yoyo Nationals 2010 will take place at 16/10/2010 in Prague, Czech Republic.
