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.

Several guys asked about the trading cards so I wanted to post this to clarify,
The cards ARE visible through the package. So you can buy the ones you specifically want.

You guys have no idea how hyped I am for all the news. The idea about the Diversion is something I have been waiting from Duncan for a very long time.

The duncancrew.org is going to easily be the next facebook of yoyoers as long as it works smoothly.
