At long last YoTricks.com is expanding its shipping, and we are starting with Canada. Why Canada? Is it because Canada is so close to the US, keeping shipping prices reasonable? Is it because we are constantly receiving emails asking us to ship to Canada? Is it because Canadian yoyoers rock? Yes, yes, and yes.
This is just the first step in expanding YoTricks.com shipping to countries around the world. Where will we expand next? That’s up to you. Let us know if you have been waiting to get YoTricks yoyos, shirts, hats, strings, etc., in your country, and we will look into what it will take to get our yoyos in your hands.
Check out this video of Joe Plummer (aka “Joe The Plummer”) at the 2011 Mideast Regional Yoyo Competition. Joe placed 4th in the 1A division wearing one of our great t-shirts and using a prototype yoyo from YoTricks.com. (FYI – the name of the yoyo is not “protoype”, the yoyo he is using is still in testing and has not yet been released.) Enjoy.
While you have been eagerly awaiting more yoyo videos (don’t worry, they’re coming) we have been hard at work behind the scenes to improve your YoTricks experience. Here are a few of the highlights:
Special Offers Email Subscription. Sign up to receive emails from YoTricks.com once or twice a month letting you know about upcoming deals and important news. Use the Special Offers link on the top of the page.
New Welcome Video. We finally released a new Welcome to YoTricks.com video that explains many of the new features we have added to the site.
New HD Yoyo Videos. We have re-rendered all our videos in HD to make the best yoyo videos online even better. Just click the HD button on any trick or category page and you will be in YoTricks HD.
Blue Numbered Indicators in the Sidebar. For a long time we have been adding additional videos to our tricks that can only be accessed in the main player. Now, in the sidebar we alert you to the presence of additional content with these blue numbered buttons. This number tells how many extra videos (besides the main trick video) you can view for this trick. Often the extra video is a Short Form video which shows a close up view of the trick without an explanation. The short form videos are especially useful if you are working on a trick and you just want to see the trick over and over again. In the future we intend to add many additional types of videos like trick variations and additional tips we may have left out of the main video.
To access the additional videos, just click the blue plus button on the player. If there are no additional videos for a trick this blue button will not appear.
No More Sidebar Videos. As you may have noticed we have been experimenting with the best and fastest way to give you, our users, access to our videos. Now on all the trick and category pages all the yoyo videos load in the main player, instead of playing in the sidebar. This give you access to all the additional video content (such as short form videos, trick variations, etc.), as well as the video transcripts for each trick without loading a new page.
Those are just a few of the many changes that have gone on under the YoTricks.com hood. Give us some feedback in the comments to let us know how these new features are (or are not) working out for you. Enjoy!
An update to the YoTricks App for Apple iOS devices (iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad) has just been released in the App Store. This update fixes a few bugs, adds our store to the app, and – most importantly – it allows the app to work on all iOS devices.
If you have tried to download the app before and experienced crashes, or if the app would not load on your device, this update should fix that problem.
While this update was primarily to allow all iOS users to use the app, our partners at Archaic Software are still hard at work developing new features for a future release. We will let you know when that update hits the App Store, but for now download the app and let us know how your experience goes. Feel free to post any thoughts or questions in the comments on this post, or as you rate the app in the App Store.
With all the rain due this April here in the States (and snow!!!) we thought we would offer a little something to help take the edge off all that time spent indoors waiting for the weather to clear and Summer to come. For the whole month of April we are offering free shipping on all orders over $25. So if you have been waiting to start your two-handing, or to begin learning unresponsive yoyoing now is the time. Top off your purchase with 100 strings (yes, you can order strings by the 100 – just $12) or a hat or shirt and you are ready to go.
(Not available for international orders. If you are an international customer and would like to place an order please contact us and we will help you process your order.)

In case you hadn’t seen this yet, here is the commercial that was produced to advertise the Peter Fish line of yoyos when they were first released. Enjoy!
