It’s OK To Scratch Your Yo-Yos from Steve Brown on Vimeo.

2 for 1 special on new videos.

Sterling Quinn is my favourite 5A player. He’s got the perfect mix of big colour and movement tricks, intricate pieces and concept tricks. This video has it all.

Following that up with a new video from top European player and strong favourite for this years UK Nats, Krisztian Kaluza.

Hello YoYo Players Worldwide. We need your help!

A few months back, we at YoYoNation released our Beginner’s Buying Guide video to help our new customers decide which yoyo best suits them. You, our customers and viewers, gave us much positive feedback and we appreciate your support. We would now like to share this video with more of the world.

Some of you inquired about translating this video into different languages and we think that is a great idea. We are calling for user translations of the Beginner’s Buying Guide in French, Russian, and Japanese. If we use your translation, you will receive a 15% discount coupon to the YoYoNation store.

Your translation should be only of the narrator’s words. Don’t worry about translating the titles. Please also provide the English sentence above or next to its translated equivalent.

The selection for the winners will be first come first serve. However, we will double check your transcript with other native speakers, so make it professional. The first to pass our review will be the winner and your translation will then be featured as a subtitle option on our YouTube channel.

If you speak a different language from the ones listed above and still really really want to translate, then send us an email with your requested language and we will review it.

Send all submissions and inquiries (and to request an English transcript) to aaron@yoyonation.com. Put “Translation Buying Guide” in the subject line.

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to hearing from you.

***Update***

You will notice that YouTube has a Caption and Translate feature. You of course can use this feature to help you with your translation. However, our goal is to fix the grammatical errors and perfect the vocabulary, which only a human can do! (for now….)
