Check out this meaty link to a story on the godanriver.com website. It’s about alleged ‘man’ Samm Scott competing at Worlds. I was all excited to read a profile of one of my favorite yo-yoers. It’s a little blurb about how Samm is competing at Worlds. I suspect this blurb is from a press release, but come on! Get a photographer out to take a picture of Samm. Talk to him! Find out how he did at last year’s Worlds or any contest for that matter. Samm’s a good yo-yoer, but you wouldn’t know it from reading this article. Check out the sad little ‘article’ here.

…to break the yet to be certified Guinness record for most people yo-yoing at the same time. According to this article in the Orlando Sentinel, 2102 people yo-yoed at the same time last week at the Orlando Regional History Center. They were trying to break a record ’set’ last year by the Bowie Baysox, in Maryland. Guinness hasn’t recognized the 1600 from that event as the record holders, so the ‘official’ record is still 432.
