The allure of the yo-yo

Believed to be of Chinese origin, the yo-yo has long been used to hone the hand-eye coordination of children and adults for thousands of years. There's even an urban legend whereby Filipino warriors used it as a weapon! It's easy to see how this tiny toy could be used to cause bodily harm, especially when it's being wielded by an unbelievably talented professional. Customers of Action New York Hybrid Car Rentals will see some fantastic feats of yo-yo talent at the International Yo-Yo Open & New York State Yo-Yo Contest, include all the "around the worlds," dizzy babies" and "worm holes" you can imagine. No idea what these odd sounding tricks entail? Then you definitely need to head down to the South Street Seaport to check out this crazy competition.

The different types of competition

If you've never seen a professional yo-yo match in session, you don't know what you're missing! Yo-yo masters are highly killed, performing seemingly impossible stunts with your everyday yo-yo. The different types of competition include Freestyle yo-yoing, designed for advanced players who have set their routines to music, the Sport Ladder division. The Sport Ladder Division includes two parts, the String Trick Ladder and the Looping Trick Ladder. Contestants may choose to compete in both of these categories or simply one. Customers of Action New York Hybrid Car Rentals will be amazed t the combinations some contestants come up with, as they strive to become the best in the Big Apple.

Rock out while you yo-yo

The International Yo-Yo Open & New York State Yo-Yo Contest is a one-of-a-kind festival dedicated to the lost art of yo-yoing. But that's not all you'll enjoy at the festival. Live musical performances are also a regular part of the proceeds, as customers of Action New York Hybrid Car Rentals take in all the action at the festival. In 2008, crowds were wowed by the Japanese action-punk group Peelander-Z, while DJs and break dancers performed throughout the two day event. You never know what cutting edge band will take to the stage at next year's festival, but you can rest assured that it will be something perfectly suited to yo-yo supremacy.
