Here’s a short promo video I put together for the DXL Battle Championships 2010 which will be held next month on August 21. All the players featured in the video are members of The DXL Crew. The contest is shaping up to be a big one. We’re even expecting international players this year! Go to http://www.dxlbattle.com for all the current info.

Yes i did say Kamikaze mount cause thats what i usually call it but i guess it is defined as a houdini mount. Houdini Pop over Fake GT undercuts drop hops whatever you’ll get into something you don’t usually try.

With the raw Ministars yo-yos finally available, fresh off the CNC lathe, Ernie of General Yo had a meeting at his house to celebrate it’s release. I put together a small video showcasing many of the new players (as well as a few old school players) all using the new Ministar yo-yo. It’s great to see so many new faces that are getting into yo-yoing. Thanks again to Ernie for the invitation and the kick-ass mini yo-yo.

Here are two videos from yesterday’s event. The first one is Jensen Kimmit’s $1,000 winning freestyle. The second is of DXL Crew member Paul Han’s badass freestyle. Be sure to look for the rest of the freestyles on Sector Y in the next week or so.

This past Halloween I met up with a few of the guys from RecRev and we shot this video featuring the new yo-yo i. The i is the smoothest yo-yo that Alex has made up to date. Of the samples that he had with him, most had absolutely no vibe and felt good to throw. Pick one up if you have a chance, they should be shipping to retailers in about two weeks.

A reporter from dailypilot.com came out to the Duncan 80th Anniversary Tour demo at the Puzzle Zoo in South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, CA on October 13, 2009. He created this video which was featured on the website. Here is a link to the original page: dailypilot.com

The Duncan 80th Anniversary Tour finally hits Southern California… DXL Territory. Yath and I did a small news stint in San Diego on Saturday to help promote the demos. Be sure to check out duncancrew.org/tour for the complete list of Demos. Today we’ll be hitting up Toys R Us in Glendale, CA at 4pm. Tomorrow will be Puzzle Zoo in the South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA. Stop by if you guys have a chance!

I think it’s funny when I come across comments of people saying that the DXL Crew just doesn’t have the influence it used to. Just because we don’t go around posting in every single forum thread or start pissing contests doesn’t mean we’re not still around. In fact, if you were paying close attention, you would have noticed that 4 of the 5 divisions at nationals were taken by The DXL Crew. This video is dedicated to those who think we’re washed up.

Filmed by glasseye on the day before the 2009 National Yo-Yo Contest. Of the 5 divisions in the contest, 4 of them were won by DXL Crew members: 1A Yuuki Spencer, 2A Patrick Mitchell, 3A Hank Freeman, 5A Miguel Correa. DXL Crew… we still on top. Killing the nonsense since 2000.
