A look back into 1999:
Much to the dismay of the “hard core” yo-yo players a young man by the name of Joel Zink won the 1999 World Yo-Yo Contest with a yo-yo freestyle of flash and flair. The true yo-yo players of the time argue his tricks were too simple and his outfit was horrendous. We will let you be the judge there. A recent article from his school, the University of Southern California, focused in on his accomplishments. Read the article here and check out his routine below.

The Chico Yo-Yo Company is back with two awesome and very different releases! A Yo-Yo AND a Spin Top - both made in the USA!
Their new throw the Kestrel is slightly undersized making for a quick, swift and nimble moving yo-yo. Inspired by the lightweight raptor that can hover in nearly no wind, the Kestrel excels at horizontal play beyond your expectations of an undersized yo-yo.
And Chico’s new spin top is custom machined from delrin designed for competitive spin top play. Body and cap screw apart for easy access to the bearing assembly (and storage of your string and button), and a one-way bearing insert will be available in the near future!
NEW RELEASE! The Duncan Hornet is the first looping yoyo from Duncan Toys specifically designed for high-end competition play, and it’s a huge leap forward for Duncan!
The Hornet is a bearing looper designed with a better rim-to-center weight ratio making it a great choice for high-speed looping and wraps. Designed with input from Duncan Crew Worldwide, the Hornet is player-tested and competition-ready. @DuncanToys
