CLYW Team member Palli really liked the theme for our new video contest … so much so that he made a video of his favourite trick. Rancid Milk - created by Spencer Berry.

Here is what Palli had to say about it:
Rancid Milk is one of my all time favorite tricks. It was made by the
legend and one of my favorite yoyoers Spencer Berry. This is one of
the first expert level tricks I learned and has always been my
favorite. The trick itself has such a good flow and is just amazing.

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while … Adam Humphrey from Prince George, BC sent us a video of himself throwing a Campfire while on a hike of the Bowron Loop. Such amazing scenery and great tricks. I loved it!!! Thanks Adam!!

On July 17th, 2010 Me and Adam Hunter of YORARD are hosting Canadian Return Top Nationals in Calgary, Alberta. The contest will be held at the Cardel Theater. It’s an amazing venue that we were very lucky to have been able to reserve. Tressley is currently working on the contest website for us, where you’ll be able to preregister and get more info.

For categories we’ll have 1A and Open, which will each have a 1 minute prelim and a 2 minute final each. We’ll also have a beginner sport trick ladder as well as an advanced sport trick ladder.

This contest was originally supposed to be in Montreal, Quebec this year, but unfortunately the organizer did not have enough time to make it happen. So instead of letting this event fall by the wayside we decided to organize an event here in Alberta. We have a lot of great up and comers in Western Canada plus not to mention Jensen Kimmitt who is ranked one of the top yoyoers in the World. Hopefully in the future we’ll be able to do a contest that revolves from east to west each year or maybe even have regional contests.

I’m currently working on a sponsorship packet that I will be sending out to potential sponsors soon. So stay tuned.

Thanks for all your support everyone!!

These are currently up at the store!! … only 12 in this colourway were made.

Hey guys!

We were brainstorming for an idea for a video contest and I think we came up with something pretty keen. We’re big fans of innovative tricks, but we’re also big fans of knowing what makes a trick special to the person doing it … SO, we want you to tell us two things:

What’s your favorite trick? and Why?

It can be a combo, or just a simple trick - but it’s gotta be your favorite. Do you like it because of how well it flows? How fast it is? How weird and ugly it is? It doesn’t matter! Just tell us about it and you could win a CLYW return top! (aka spinning moose nugget)

Each entry should include a brief write up of why the trick is your favorite, and then throw in a video so we know what you’re talking about!

We will have two separate categories for everyone to participate in:

1. Arts + Crafts
2. Show & Tell

1. Arts + Crafts will be the category where you show us your favorite trick that YOU have made up.

2. Show & Tell will be the category where you show us your favorite trick that someone else made up.

Each category will have a winner of a brand new Gnarwhal RETURN TOP!

You’ll have until June 8th to get your entries in - and we’ll be posting some of our favorites along the way - so get to it!

Please send all entries to clyw (dot) inc (at) gmail (dot) com with the subject: Arts + Crafts or Show & Tell depending on which category you’d like to enter.

Rules: one entry per category & yes you may enter both categories if you’d like.
