YYFBen set a record (updated with link)
this was on newspapers, tv news, in HK, Singapore, i think China too? and probably elsewhere.
YYFBen set a record of keeping 16 yoyos spinning at the same time, with the yoyos still attached to fingers, ears and teeth.
麦克菲 = Mcphee.

no idea if this is gonna be available to stores, but u can see, its a gold/dark green combination, there's gold, or yellow whichever u think it is, but there's defintiely no dark green, so its not something u can get 2 and mix and match.

Taka posted pictures of the old Firedogs and Hyper Comet version side by side.
the one on the left is the one i got, but different run, mine doesn't loop. really. i got a pair. both have the same problem. not even when 3 loop is applied around the transaxle.
but the Hyper edition looks rather alright. i wish to try these.

Leviathan by Marcus Koh
SYYC2009 1A champion wants to tell u the Turning Point Leviathan is the yoyo to use.
Marcus Koh:
The Leviathan is a competition grade yoyo that is made for fast and complex string movements with a tight bind at the same time . Users of this yoyo will find that this yoyo is comfortable to hold and as a result , it is good for stall tricks at the same time. The yoyo that i am using is a stock leviathan

Kinopah X Yodel 66
remember the 66 rules for yoyo players by Ed Haponik?
Now he has collaborate with John Higby to produce it into a comic book!
watch the video they did together
Ed:
in november of last year, i wrote down a list of 'rules'. these were intended to be both amusing and challenging, and most of all, an invitation for yo-yoers to take a 'benevolently critical' glance at themselves; to determine what qualities of yo-yoing THEY believe to be important. some people read them, and some people liked them. a lot of yo-yoers have asked me about the 'rules'; why i wrote them - why yo-yoing needs them. i've thought a lot about it, and i think they hold up okay, if only to provide an impetus for questioning ourselves.
one of those people who noticed them was john, who contacted me pretty much straight away and asked about creating something together. needless to say, i was up for it. so, over the past month, john has worked like crazy to draw and ink a comic book which records the 66 rules, illustrating them in his own indelible style. he did this amidst the insane backdrop of doing 50+ shows in like 60 states (or something) over the past month, and i'm afraid his efforts make me appear way cooler than i actually am.
alongside the comic, john is offering a special '66' version of his handpainted clear duncan proflys. they look stunning (i have to say, the pog art is ESPECIALLY ATTRACTIVE), and are a total joy to play. a lot of people have asked me lately about good, consistent wood axle yo-yo's and and these painted proflys look smart and positively sing.
