What's happenin'!

Heyheyhey!

So recently we were having some website down time due to some administration stuff over at the server's side of things.

Now that EST & the Spinworkx Challenge Grading events are over, things are a little more quiet over here at Spinworkx, but nevertheless, there are still going-ons around here.

As we usher in the Examination period of the year, we have a few announcements to make coming up REAL soon.

One of which would be the Results of the Spinworkx Video Contest! (Yes, we did not forget about this!)

So study hard and try to check the blog every now and then!

Spinworkx Yoyo Review: Duncan 2010 Freehand *Exclusive!*

When we first got word that Duncan was going to take an old favorite, and make it even better, we can't help but be a little skeptical.

After all, Duncan has always been very successful at making yo-yos catered to beginners and advance players alike, offering good performance plastics with little maintenance to the yo-yo.

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="287" caption="The 2010 Freehand by Duncan"][/caption]

But a yo-yo better than that? We had to see it for ourselves to believe it...and boy were we impressed!

Closed This Sunday

The Spinworkx Store will be closed on the 19th of September in light of the Eastern State Throw Down 2010 held at the Ulu Pandan Community Club.

This competition is open to public so come on down to catch the performances from 1pm onwards!
