Platinum Plated Bapezilla & Business – Anti-Yo Back in the game?

Despite their phenomenal popularity in their heyday, Anti-Yo have been remarkably quiet for the last few years, imagine my surprise then as DrYoYo, YoYoSkills blogger and Cal States organiser announced that Anti-Yo will be sponsoring Cal States!

And the sponsor package is sure to turn some heads, a Platinum coated Bapezilla and Business, currently being auctioned off in order to fund the contest and increased player prize pools.

Tell me your salivatory glands are not working overdrive right now? Head on over to YoYoSkills to place your bid.

And watch this space for future Anti-Yo news!
