So I was watching a video from the EYYC 2013 and I noticed one of the sponsors on the banner behind the players was G shock. What’s that about? I thought only yoyo companies sponsored contests ??? ---

I remember when I think the US Nationals were sponsered by Wells Fargo Idk why those companies even bother ---

It’s goal of all organizators to get sponsoring from non-yoyo companies, since it will make yo-yoing as sport more popular and recognized between other companies. But right now yo-yoing is still to small to get big sponsors like RedBull. ---

Similarly, BAC is in communication with Hotel Tomo and a Discount by mention Bay Area Classic. Similarly, Self Edge sponsored it. It’s all about getting the name out, whether it’s a yoyo company or not. :wink: ---

How is Self Edge similar? Kiya of Anti-Yo owns Self-Edge last time I checked. Of course a hotel is going to sponsor something that people travel to come to. That’s their entire business. Just because its for a toy doesn’t mean people are cool sleeping in the park all of a sudden. ---

That’s their entire business. Just because its for a toy doesn’t mean people are cool sleeping in the park all of a sudden. I was simply pointing out that other non-yoyo companies sponsor the events, as the original post was on that topic. As far as Self Edge goes, that’s the first time I’ve heard of it. Interesting that Kiya Co-Owns it, but it is still a non-yoyo company. So please, tell me, what has your post contributed besides snarky comments about my first post? ---
