Special PYBITs

We had a few PYBITs that had some marks on the rims. That’s why we had Sparta of Spartanik YoYos mod them a little bit for ous. This is the outcome of his awesome work:

There are eight in total. They all have some slight wobble, nothing affecting performance at all. You can get one via email for 45€ including a KMK conkave bearing. The rest will head to retailer soon (without conkave).

These are the last PYBITs, there will be no more made.

Update: All gone. Thanks!

Collab time

Have a look at the first acryllic prototype of our 3YO3 collaboration. It’s a Falcon. A mighty beauty. We’re still looking for the best suited model of our line up for this material. Exciting!

Lio Contest

Here’s your chance to win a brand new 2012 Liopleurodon!

All you have to do is make a little yoyo video with the following conditions:

  • duration max. 1 minute
  • upload your video to YouTube
  • use our logo in the beginning and show our URL at the end (ilyy.de)
  • music is not a must, but if you use sound, make sure it’s not copyrighted, use free music under the creative commons license and so on, but only yoyo-sounds are nice too

Skill alone won’t win you the Lio. Creativity is the most important aspect we’re looking for. That is, creativity regarding yoyo tricks, locations, recording and editing.
To submit your video, like us on Facebook and post it on our wall.
Deadline for submissions is May 13th.

Let the games begin!

2012 Liopleurodon is ready to roam!

We’re proud to announce the 2012 version of Liopleurodon. Just like the original with purple/titanium CandyBlast finish plus masked guts for longer string life. In some countries they will ship with a spare KMK conkave bearing.

Heading to shops soon!

Pad city

We are currently working on silicone pads that fit all our large bearing yoyos of the last years. We expect to get the first samples soon.
