AP Crew:

Dear Spinners of Asia,
1. Have you registered for AP yet? Please do so as soon as possible if you have not. Even for those who are coming to support and not compete, we will appreciate if you can register as a visitor. We are working something out to benefit those who register as visitors.

2. This year's AP Team Battle is going to be totally different! We are experimenting with a totally new concept and we need your help to read the new rules carefully so you can plan and form your international team in advance. Basically the team has to make up of members from different countries / group. We hope that through this, it will help to create new experiences and foster ties between spinners of different countries. Make use of facebook, MSN, etc to contact one another now!

3. If you are a student and require an official letter from us stating that you will be participating in AP, please reply back with the following details:
1. Full Name
2. Passport Number
3. Name of School / Company
4. Address of School / Company
5. Your home mailing address  

4. After you have submitted your registration, please send us a high resolution photo of yourself and your freestyle music (only MP3 or iTunes AAC) format to jeddy@asiapacyoyo.com
Some of you have sent us your pictures but we may not use them if the quality is too low for print. We will also try to use AP08 photos if necessary.

5. For AP10, there will be 2 days of preliminaries so the schedule will not be as packed as the last. If you can't reach Singapore by the 24th, you can still arrive on the 25th March and join in on the 2nd day. We will try to spread out as much as possible so you can have more time to catch up with one another, prepare for Team Battle and Country FAST Challenge.

6. The official AP facebook page is now up! Visit it and be a fan now:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Asia-Pacific-Yo-yo-Championships-Official-Page/322548919343

YYF MVP & SuperStar new colors

saw this photo at SPINGEAR's blog.

seems like the MVP and SuperStar will be back in new colors!

loving the greens.

Dream Yo Wing

Dream Yo Wing, posted in mid Jan this year, is ready for production.

Dream Yo is 1/3 of K2J, maker of the Warning Line yoyo.

over here is a sample i got. funny it look less solid in its anodised form.

first look and it reminds me of the One Drop M1. probably because of the rims.

this yoyo has a stepped wall. similar to most of the YY:R and Leviathan series. 

first hold, light. although the rims look thick on the profile view, it feels like the weight, instead of concentrated on the rim, is more on the center, somewhere between the hub and the rim. but i guess u can insert custom weight rings into it, looks pretty spacious to me.

a slightly undersized yoyo. grind's alright. 

plays fast, i wouldn't say its got great stability, but its not too bad.

flops' alright, slacks fine. i really gotta say its fast? 

overall a fun yoyo, probably not what everyone would make a main yoyo, but to quote what Alan from HK mention, China yoyo = light and fast. that's probably why its weight distribution's like that.

pictures.... and video soon!
ask for me if u wanna try it at meetings guys.

Asia Pac 2010 sites

If any of you have not heard about Asia Pacific Yoyo Championship, here's what it is about.

X marks the spot.

The Asia Pacific yo-yo championships 2010 is going to be the biggest one yet! Past champions as well as current World champions will battle head to head against each other to be crowned the AP champion this year. Come expecting to make new friends, learn and create new tricks, hang out with some of the Worlds best players and check out the mind-blowing, spectacular performances on display.

Now after many requests, the competition will feature ALL 5 of the standard divisions (1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A), as well as the country FAST challenge and the new AP Team Battle. Will this year see any major upsets, or will the past champions continue to blaze through the competition?

A star-studded event will not be completed without the likes of a fabulous location, and what better way for Singapore to host the regions best players than to hold it in the biggest, newest and most exciting mall in town, ION Orchard. AP 2010 is an event you CANNOT miss!

Being the sixth Asia Pacific contest being organized, it is going to be a whole lot of fun! Whether you are from the Asia Pacific region or not, come on down and experience AP for yourself, it will definitely be an unforgettable experience, and one in which you will keep wanting to come back for more.

Finally, it is time to awaken the giants, and to conquer our foes in the spotlight of the grandest yo-yo competition in Asia.
