The month of October was quite memorable for YoYoNation! We were honored to be featured by two publications - PC Magazine and AsianAvenue.com.
PC Magazine is the recognized leader of technology publication in the technology industry. Their authoritative reviews and in-depth comparisons of computing and Internet products reach more than 6 million readers worldwide.
With that said, Pat and I were thrilled when we were chosen as Runners Up in PC Magazine’s ‘First Annual Small-Business Awards’. This award recognizes the top small & medium businesses in the country that use technology to drive innovation and gain competitive advantage. Read about it here: PC Magazine’s First Annual Small-Business Awards
In addition to the said award, we were featured in an article on AsianAvenue.com entitled, ‘Two Young Asians Make Yo-Yo Nation‘. The blurb of the article states -
‘Sick of working in a cubicle? Pat and Weber, two young Asian Americans, finally got freed by creating their own company, YoyoNation.com, to spread their love for yo-yo’s. They share insights on what made them finally make the jump and how you can too.‘

AsianAvenue.com is a leader in online community destination for US ethnic groups of Asian and Pacific-Islander descent. AsianAvenue.com is the largest Asian-American media outlet across the Web, television and print.
We’d like to thank both AsianAvenue and PC Magazine for the chance to promote yo-yoing even more. We hope this is just the beginning!

Have you wanted the ultra-limited edition TiPhiter2 Titanium yoyo by Kyo, but couldn’t afford the steep $300.00 USD price tag?
Well, the Kyo Alph yoyo is your chance to play with one that’s modeled exactly after the TiPhiter2 yoyo, but in a very high-grade aluminum.
The “7075″ aluminum the Alph yoyo uses is harder, more difficult to scratch, and makes the yoyo FEEL high-end.
In terms of play, it uses two flush mounted Dif-E-Yo Dif-Pads for response, giving you the ability to customize your response from the variety of pads available. Moreover, it weighs in at just around 70g; a very popular weight for string trick play.
Note: the pictures reflect a pre-production model that is not laser engraved. The final version will be serialized with the Kyo logo engraved on the yoyo.
These are scheduled to ship next Friday, 10/27/06, and are limited to only 250 pieces world-wide!!!

We finally got in these black beauties! First throw is smooth as butta and they fit perfectly in my hand.We’ll be shipping them out tomorrow!
Also, this page has been experiencing major slowness and it’s extremely bothersome. I will be looking into this so please bear with me!
I am currently upgrading the forum, so you will see some weirdness going on over there today. Thanks for your patience!
