Below, another installment of “YoYoNation’s 60 Seconds”, which in this case really means about four minutes.

The week before Worlds, Pat interviewed Brazilian yo-yo powerhouses Rodrigo “Sid” Pires (Brazil #4) and Danilo Packer (two-time Brazil National Champion and 1A placer in NYC’s 2007 International Yo-Yo Open) during their trip to NYC, covering Rage Against the Machine, the limitations of 10-day visas, São Paulo vs. New York, and crazy people (os loucos). Pat’s multilingual abilities also extend to Portuguese! Check it out.

Oi! More Photos! NYSYYC & IYYO

Rafael “Red” Matsunaga came all the way from Brazil to NYC last week, along with several other Brazilian yo-yoers, for this year’s New York State Yo-Yo Contest and International Yo-Yo Open. Red is a Brazil National Yo-Yo Master and 2003 5A World Champion, has rocked the Brazilian TV networks along with his countrymen with their yo-yo talents (check out youtube) — and is a magician behind the camera lens. He’s shared his pictures of the contest and the City with us. Fantastic stuff, Red!
