Probably the most legendary yoyo clip video maker comes back with his first new video in years.

Citadel brings Advance 2010, with even some clips shot at Self Edge San Francisco and a cameo by Sufu's own Markmont

These are the best yoyoers from around the world, all filmed in the Bay Area.

I'm looking for a bit of timesuck as I have too much time on my hands so I was thinking about possibly doing a bit of yoyoing. I did it in like 6th grade and I had a flying panda but now I'm looking to drop like 30 bucks on something that I could fudge around with. Any suggestions?

[stuntastic]

Oh...

I used to rock...

I'm going to bid on an ebay auction for an 07 888. Is this a good idea?

i don't know if you'd be able to get it for $30 but you can try. i have some yoyos for sale if you're interested. from yoyojam to yoyofactory...

UPDATE: I got a YYF Hectic and I love it. I'm able to do grinds and slacks much much better.

[kenthenoob]

who do you have your money on, kiya--jensen or yuuki?

[kiya]

I'd say Jensen considering what his last few freestyles looked like.

[syed]

Just spent a while looking through this thread and loved it. Got inspired and ordered a yoyo, although probably a kid's one by comparison to what's here! Ah well, gotta start somewhere...

[kenthenoob]

what did you order?

[syed]

Proyo and a Duncan Bumblebee lol.

[kenthenoob]

i think you would have been better off buying a duncan freehand at toys r us or a yoyofactory velocity.

[monkop]

I just pulled the trigger on a y-factor, I can't wait for it to get here!
