YoYo Nation’s Black Friday Extravaganza!
T-1 until Turkey Day, Nationites!
Tomorrow, friends and family across the U.S. gather to give thanks (and eat a huge meal) in a tradition dating back to the 1600s, when early English settlers at the Berkeley and Plymouth Plantations celebrated the end of each harvest.
Friday, hordes of bargain hunters will line up in the wee hours of morning outside their favorite superstores to take advantage of big markdowns offered on the first official day of the holiday shopping season.
And on Friday, starting at 4 a.m. - 2 p.m. EST, a few savvy and sophisticated yo-yo shoppers will be browsing from the comfort of their own homes through some crazy, amazing one-time deals at YoYoNation’s second-ever Black Friday Sale.
Happy Shopping!

Flying into the UK for the Southern Regional Yo-Yo Contest this December 2? Why not spend a night at the newly opening (and cutely named) Yotel?

Dale Myrberg, National Yo-Yo Grandmaster, Featured in eBay Campaign
eBay’s current Shop Victoriously campaign features a hilarious (yet handy!) short video series called the “Winner’s Guide to Winning”, hosted by comedians Andy Richter and Paul Tompkins.
Episode 3 (”Principles”) features National Yo-Yo Grand Master and 1996 World Champion Dale Myrberg, who has shown he has what it takes to be a winner.
Watch Dale do the hula, milk the cow, knock a quarter from Paul’s ear, and perform other fun feats in Episode 3: “Principles”. (Click on “Winner’s Guide to Winning” and then on “Principles”; the full interview with Dale is towards the end of the clip.)
