It's a radio station Tongue_out

88.5, I think. For me at least.

Arupaeo · Dec 13 2011 06:35 AM

NPR stands for National Public Radio. It produces news and cultural programming across a network of almost 1000 independent radio stations covering most "major" markets here in the US, and is similar to the CBC in Canada (NPR also carries Fresh Air), and the BBC in the UK (NPR also carries the BBC world service).

WAMU is the local affiliate here in the Washington DC metro area, and broadcasts on 88.5 FM.

Hah,! Now we know Kai-V's real name!(Or have I been living under a rock?) . Anyway,awesome!

*Shabalabadoo* · Dec 13 2011 06:52 AM

That's pretty cool! At least we know that if Kei and Kai-V battle, Kei will win! Haha
So sick the WBO's being recognized!

KaizerMFB · Dec 13 2011 07:00 AM

Gratz you guys!
and wow, that French helped Kai-V?

**N0body** · Dec 13 2011 07:09 AM

Congrats!!! Brad Day and this whole moth is turning out to be good for the WBO...

**KyubiBey** · Dec 13 2011 07:44 AM

He (Zakiah) used Basalt Horogium uncustomized and won (I should know since I called and texted him during the championships. And I saw the final battle). Btw, he has an account on here, it's Zakiah10 I believe. He usually uses BBP with friends in battle.

TimelessOne · Dec 13 2011 07:45 AM

Wow, this is really cool. WBO will get more popular, (Probably) and kids get to know how to use attack types! Congrats Kei and Kai-V!

"Some tops, if they have a very flat bottom, will launch into the arena, not move very much at all, but kind of spin forever," says DePriest. "Those are called stamina tops. Some tops, if you have a little narrow pencil point at the tip, will launch into the arena and jump all over the place. And those are called attack tops."

umm what!?!?!?! de preist has got then a bit mixed up me thinks

YsTrY7oN · Dec 13 2011 09:00 AM

Wow Great!!!!!
Congratulations Kai-V and Kei! Grin

Vulcan Blaze · Dec 13 2011 12:58 PM

I actually happened to hear this love. When I looked on their website, they had the title of the story and a few short sentences about it. One of the sentences, I didn't like. It said "Hasbro added cool features to an ancient concept." I think they should have said Takara Tomy did that, and Hasbro put them out in the U.S., Canada, France, England, etc.
@njrk97 I think he totally mixed them up. If he didn't, he can watch Meteo L-Drago to see that he was wrong.

Janstarblast · Dec 13 2011 02:08 PM

Wow! That's so cool!
The interview of Hasbro's Vice President for Marketing included a statement which is contrary to the actual performance of the top. Weird. Confused

Congrats guys! Grin

Synth · Dec 13 2011 02:10 PM

This is a huge step for the WBO. not only our reputation rights, but in our community as well.

Congrats!

Hm, that's interesting...
He uses the ultimate Defense part, and still considers BBP to be his best...
I think the anime might be influencing him quite a lot, because if he is talking about an uncustomized BBP, then...... Uncertain

Bey Brad · Dec 13 2011 04:11 PM

That is incredible.

I am proud to have my video featured on NPR Smile

Kei · Dec 13 2011 09:26 PM

I was wondering if you'd ever post about that Gulli Mag interview, Kai-V!

I read this and was like Serious

Nevertheless, very cool that they chose to feature the Sliding Shoot video in the article!

**Primal** · Dec 13 2011 09:50 PM

Glad to see Beyblade getting the publicity it deserves! Grin

Still kind of odd how DePriest mixed up the qualities of attack and stamina, but that's fine. Smile

Congrats to Brad for getting your Sliding Shoot video featured! I must admit, that's pretty nice.

Chups · Dec 13 2011 10:56 PM

Umm, I'm probably not grasping the significance of this as I don't really know how big the nbc is. It's the #1 radio Station in USA? Or close to it.

But according to how everyone else is reacting it must be pretty big. Great work guys !
