Congrats to all the competitors and winners at this weekend’s 2007 World Yo-Yo Competition, who brought some staggering and incredible game to Orlando.
THIS GUY! Left: Pat with reigning 5A World Champion Tyler Severance. Right: Tyler’s third Duncan Freehand Mg, or a really expensive place to store Runts.
We hope to see a lot of you back in New York this Saturday. If you can’t make it out to the Big Apple, tune into our live webcast, which will be linked to here.
The festivities in New York have already begun. With today’s arrival of Takeshi and Brazil’s Rafael Matsunaga (2003 World Champion, 5A, and Brazil National Yo-Yo Master), Marcelo Bazani, and Danilo Packer (two-time Brazil National Champion, 1A), YoYoNation and yo-yoers headed straight for the 53rd & 6th Halal Cart for some wonderful, greasy dinner in a tin. This stuff is mind-blowing (but watch out for the hot sauce).

Excuse us while we swoon, starstruck, as we absorb the fact that Stephen Dubner has just written up YoYoNation (and the New York State Yo-Yo Contest & International Yo-Yo Open!) on the Freakonomics Blog.

On August 11, 2007, world-class yo-yo talent takes the stage deep in the heart of the Big Apple with the first-ever New York State Yo-Yo Contest and International Yo-Yo Open!
For one day only, Pier 17 of New York’s South Street Seaport - a thriving community on Lower Manhattan’s historic waterfront - will be a showcase for entertainment, education, and eye-popping yo-yo ability.
