Yoyoing on the Philippines

This page is for my passion for skill toys like yoyos and spintops.
 
I will also tell what's HOT in yoyoing here in Philippines.
 
Here's a brief story of my yoyoing life...

I'm a proud member of FLiPSpiN a Philippine Yoyo Club where Yoyoers can interact. I had a good time with my fellow Flipspin members with the Duncan Crew Philippines like Chris, Mimi, Jay and  Edmund. Miss you guys!! We have our weekly club clinics at Eastwood.

Here's a small yoyo informations:
 
Duncan YO-YO's were founded by Mr. Donald Duncan SR from Mr. Pedro Flores in 1930's. He saw Mr. Flores playing the Yo-yo in his hotel in L.A and decided to buy the Trademark of "YO-YO". Since then Duncan Toy's are FIRST and LEADING YO-YO makers in USA until today. Duncan are also makers of Patented Spin Tops (trumpo) which are used by professional spin top players. Duncan also designed Tetra Tops(don't have much info)....
 
As of now Duncan Yoyoing invaded the Philippines with its patented yoyos. Duncan yoyos like Flying Panda, Throw Monkey and Speed Beetles are personal  favorites of yoyoers here in Phils. These yoyos were designed by the National Yoyo Master ( THE REAL MASTER,NOT THE SUPER YOYO MASTER ) and Fearless Leader of the Duncan Crew USA Steve Brown. Speaking of Duncan Crew..  Duncan Crew is a group of professional yoyo performers formed in every country where Duncan yoyos are available just like USA,  Philippines,Singapore,  Malaysia,  Brazil and  Hong Kong. I respect those guys I met last May in SM Megamall the Duncan Crew Singapore like Adrian(cool shades, cool boss!), Fajar (my idol! Offstring Alive), Roy (good mc! nice English!),  Mr.Firdhaus (can u remember me?), Andrew Lim(umm..?)  and Duncan Crew Malaysia like Dimi (Deviant art! Poetic dude! Funny dude), Kyle(Spiderman Hairstyle! KooL!!great 2A player!) and Steve Brown (oh, i missed to meet this bald guy..)
 
 
After the National Yoyo Contest last spetember 26..
Now another leading brand from US will invade "us"
 
 
Here's Spintastics.. This brand is also well known in US coz of its Diabolos(Chinese yoyo BIG IN SHAPE but not yet available in Phils),SPIN TOPS(trumpo) is now avialable here in Phils.. My hands are sweating getting excited with these Spin Tops...
 
And let me introduce Yoyojam
This "hybrid yoyos" are ASTIG yoyos.. I tried myself a Yoyojam Mini-mo-trixx and really light and yet balanced...(those days...)
You need to polish some of them (some are made from brass or silver plated) These yoyos are used by top competitors in Worlds(World Yoyo Contest) just like Duncan. Yoyojam also produces quality Spin Tops and Diabolos...
 
Yomega
Remember those Yoyos used in Anime SUPER YOYO? These Japanese-based yoyos rocks when it comes to 2A(double-handed looping). Used by top competitors in Japan,Phils and USA.  I tried myself a Yomega Fireball and made my hands and yoyos play in harmony... Heheh.. It rocks just don't try it on 1A(single A)
 
SUPER YOYO: Yes, i'm in a good state of mind to tell about Super Yoyo... These "so-called" yoyos are based from the Anime itself. Heavy and spins like a tail of a dog. If you think you're normal don't buy these yoyos. But i enjoyed Super Yoyo last may in SM Fairview where we had our show together with my friends. HAHA I showed a lot of tricks.. eheheheh.. 30 minutes of fame! Ehek!!
 
That's it for now... Im really tired...
