Kyo takes a break from Titanium to announce his new yoyo in aluminium.

That’s right, a new yo-yo.. from me.. and it -does not- cost a small fortune Smiley

This, is project DNS.

I designed this 100% with the players in mind.. I’ve adjusted this thing to match exactly the comments and requests I’ve gotten over the last few years. Every aspect of this yo-yo has been tweaked to perfection.

The coating on this thing has not yet been finalized.. I will say that it is actually more durable than hardcoat anodizing, and it is as low-friction as teflon. I’m way excited about it, it feels extremely nice. It won’t look like raw metal, I’ll update with the final images soon.

Now to what you all want to see, the specs.

Diameter: 53.7mm
Width: 42.4mm
Gap: 4.3mm
Weight: 65g
Bearing: Large “C” Bearing
Response: Clear Silicone O-Ring

Here’s some shots of the Lunatic and MVP shipping from YoYoFactory very soon.

I absolutely adore the new shade of Purple YoYoFactory are using, soooooo vibrant.

….or at least chatter on facebook, twitter and the yoyo community tells me, that CLYW have just signed up two new players to their Pro team.

Any guesses?

What if i told you they were two of the most creative and fun to watch players around right now? What if i also told you they quite often come as a pair? Would that help?

I’ll let Chris make the official announcement as i wouldn’t want to step on his toes, so keep your eyes peeled on the Forums and the CaribouBlog for full details.

Congratulations to Masanobu Hishida, who has just had his sleeper of 21:15:17 approved as the new official World Record.

What yoyo did he use? Why the YoYoFactory Buddha King 2 of course! Will this record last as more and more people get their hands on one? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Brandon Jackson, newly appointed National Sales & Marketing Co-Ordinator (more on that below) was nice enough to drop by the YoYoNation forum and keep everyone updated on all things Duncan.

Duncan’s 80th Anniversary World Tour
The 80th Anniversary World Tour still has a month left and has been a great success. It started early this year with Takeshi & Bride traveling the globe documenting the yo-yo scene around the world and filming tutorials featuring nearly the entire Duncan Crew Worldwide. Then over summer the Duncan Crew traveled the USA to demonstrate and teach at Toys R Us’ around the country. With a lot of Toys R Us’ left to perform at, and a TON of other toy stores we began the Fall leg of the tour. Appearing at air force bases, children museums, street fairs, and the National Yo-Yo contest this year Duncan has shown that after 80 years we still hold on to our tradition of the traveling demonstrators of our past.
