2011-11-14T03:43:00.001-08:00

Dear Friends,

It is with deep regret that I, along with the AP team, have to inform you that we will not be hosting the Asia Pacific Yo Yo Competition next year.

Despite garnering widespread support and expanding in terms of the number of countries and competitors each year, the event has unfortunately been running at a deficit for the past few years, and it has been a challenge to secure sufficient sponsors.

Even at a deficit, we still continued to run previous competitions because we were committed to doing so.

Rather than to keep everyone in anticipation of next year's event, we felt it would be the best and most respectful thing to do, if we announce the postponement of AP in advance so you may make alternative plans.

The AP team remains committed to the AP competition as we have taken a lot of joy and pride in witnessing the exciting development of spin culture in Singapore and the region. We believe that yo yo as an alternative sport will continue to flourish. We especially see evidence of this positive development in the dynamic talent shown by our and regional players who have triumphed internationally.

Keep up with polishing your skills and we look forward to welcoming all of you to the next AP where we hope to see some fierce and exciting competition.

We thank you all for your understanding and continous support. Lets keep the yo-yo community growing!

Best Regards,

Colin Wan
Chairperson
Asia Pacific Yo-yo Championships Event Committee

Today was hectic at work. There will be chaos where there is no leader. Prayed for God's guidance. Worked my way the whole day. Proverb 15:1 says soft reply turn away wrath, and it reminds me to keep and control my temper. God is good, all the time.

Preparing for a freestyle.

2010-07-23T07:57:00.000-07:00

So how do you prepare for a competition? Here's what Stuart will do to prepare for his 1 min freestyle.

1) Choose a song. The song should be suit to the style that you plan to play. Fast beat doesn't always a good choice. For starter, would suggest to choose something slow.
2) Plan your skill list. Write down all the skill that had master and will perform well. Plan with the song on the combos to combine.
3) Practice the freestyle for 1-2 hours a days, repeating the skill might seem boring, but it will boost up your perfection in executing it. If you found out any new route to the combos, do try out and see how it goes.
4) Watch videos to get ideas of new skills, but stick to your preplanned songs and style adding newly learned skill to the combos.
5) Practice makes perfect, so keep on practicing and never think that you have lame skill, JUST SPIN IT!!!

A Small Visit to Bandar School!!

2009-10-19T09:18:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, Yo-Splinter's Crew(Stuart,Ryan and Edward) drop in a small visit to one of the school(Chung Hwa Middle School) in the Capital City. After the students finished their lesson.. most of the kids dash to our small corner and was amazed by our demo tricks.. A part from that, we met some new Beginner yo yo players from time to time.. they were full of curiosity and want to see more trick..

Yo-Splinter crews don't mind to sweat during the demo... the weather wasn't that cool at that moment. We spend there almost two hour there entertaining the Kids and Parents.. plus we also did answer many question from the kids..

Tough day for us but at least we saw some future yoyo players... hope that some day we can drop by at their school and do some demo for them...

News from SPINWORX about AP

2009-08-29T05:44:00.000-07:00

Dear members of the Spinning community,

We are aware of the enthusiasm and excitement that everyone has for the Asia Pacific Yo-yo Championships, also affectionately known as "AP". There has been a lot of speculation about where and when it will be held and this goes to show that the spinning scene has been thriving, serving a great motivation for us all.

Our initial plan was to continue this year following the success of 2008 where everyone had a great time. However, due to adverse economic conditions, it has been an uphill battle for our organising team to secure an appropriate venue and sponsorships from corporate sponsors. One of the main problems was because AP was traditionally held in the festive peak season, clashing with several other major events. This puts us at a disadvantage as we are competing with other more established events for venue and funding.

We have identified this as a yearly problem and we had an early discussion with the leading representatives of participating countries, together with the feedback gathered from previous participants, it seems the solution would be to revamp the event and shift the competition period to an off-peak season of the year. Due to different variations of holidays and exam periods of different countries, our collected information shows that end March will accommodate most people. We understand that some countries may be affected by this shift but we will try our best to fine tune this event constantly.

The organizing team deeply regrets for causing any disappointment for the postponement of AP but we strongly believe this move will be for the better good. We thank you all for the patience and your continuous support. Let us all train hard and gather together in end March 2010 in Singapore to showcase the true spirit of spinning to the World. Further details will be released towards the event.

Attached below is the official statement for this email, please help to circulate this information around. If you have any questions regarding this event, please feel free to send them to: info@asiapacyoyo.com

Yours Sincerely,

Colin Wan

Chairperson

Asia Pacific Yo-yo Championships

Duncan's Screaming Eagle Mayhem & Vendetta

2009-07-28T17:45:00.000-07:00

I guess you still remember about Duncan new product Screaming Eagle, more info was post on their site about the release.

"The products in this line are collaborations between Duncan and the an exclusive group of designers including, the Duncan Crew, international graffitti writers and top flight engineers. This has produced exceptional designs with beautiful finish and unyielding play. Simply put, these yoyos are some of the best.

First up is the Vendetta, to be released at the preliminary competition of the IYYO in New York, NY. This is a soul players yoyo. This is Duncan's first yoyo with a big bearing and maximum rim weight. It has more of an angular profile and a huge string gap. These first editions will be available in ultra limited gold and when they are gone they will not be produced in this colour ever again.

Next up is the MayheM. This yoyo will be released at the World Yo-Yo Contest in Orlando, Florida on August 15th at 10 AM EST. Slightly undersized, slick coated, long spinning and a beast of a performer. This yoyo is designed for the upper limits of single A competition. It has a more organic shape and has the widest bearing gap possible with the standard duncan sized bearing. This yoyo will be available in multiple colours."

Simply put, you want these yoyos and there will be one more model available as a preview only at worlds. The third yoyo will be a surprise to everyone and is positive to have you scrambling for one or three.
