CLYW Team - Páll Guðmundsson
I’d like to welcome Páll Valdimar Guðmundsson Kolka (aka: Palli) to Team CLYW!!!
I’ve unfortunately never met Palli in person. With him living in Iceland it makes it a little difficult, but we chat online a lot. Palli is an amazing player and has such a fun personality. I’ve learned so much about Iceland by talking to him, such as: their traditional dish is half a sheep face, Puffinuggets are going to replace McDonalds and how to say Merry Christmas ‘gleðileg jól’. In Edmonton there is actually a radio show on CJSR 88.5FM called Viking Music that is all about Icelandic music and what Bjork is listening to. One day I’ll go to Iceland for a visit. One day …
I’m really excited that Palli has accepted a spot on our team. I’ve been watching him for a while now ever since he joined Team G-String. We’re really excited, because Palli will be flying out to EYYC 2010 in Prague (I assume flying, might be by Viking ship though) to compete. I believe this will be his first contest. We’ll definitely be rooting for you!!!
I asked Palli how he got into yoyoing and here is what he said: I picked up a bootleg Brain for cheap at some shop, started to do tricks and longed for something harder. Stumbled upon Mastermagic.com and was amazed, ordered a hitman, couldn’t get it up and there began my journey of yoyoing.
Name: Páll Valdimar Guðmundsson Kolka (Palli or Mr.P for short)

Interesting Fact: In Iceland we eat sheep heads and testicles.

Here is one of my favourite videos by Palli, Limeberry. He’s using one of the Purple/Pink acidwash Peaks in it.

Congrats! I was JUST saying this like last week, that Palli should get sponsored! He easily matches the caliber of other sponsored players. I’m sure he’s in good hands with CLYW and visa versa
