Hello again all World Beybladers!
This is actually a news that not even the other Committee Members know of at the moment, but it's really awesome and it came right with perfect timing! You all remember that last Monday, we celebrated Brad Day, right? We took a moment to enjoy the existence of this organization, and we thanked Brad for all he did. Well, on the same day, we actually got contacted by Elizabeth Blair from the National Public Radio for an interview! Unfortunately, and she had warned me, she did not have enough time given for her story to mention the World Beyblade Organization in the end, but she did actually place our video of the Sliding Shoot Lesson on the matching article for the radio story online! Brad's very own creation, Beyblade Channel's very first lesson video gets featured in such a big radio's story, what a feat! If you want to read the article and listen to her recording, you can go right here: You can also read that the United States champion for 2011, Zakiah Garcia, apparently uses Big Bang Pegasis and it seems like he might have used it in the national championships, or at least that's what his speech and the article hint at. It could also just be his nickname for a combination with a Pegasis Clear Wheel, since 4D Beyblades are not supposed to be allowed at all... In other, older news, this isn't the first time the World Beyblade Organization gets featured in the media: around the beginning of the year, Gulli Mag, a popular French magazine for kids, interviewed Kei (Scott) and I (Virginie) and published our answers in an exclusive Beyblade special issue! The cover: ![]() The pagespread where our interview appears: ![]() A close-up: ![]() Of course, the words are in French, so here's a translation, but remember that we answered the interviewer's questions almost a year ago, so our suggestions are really outclassed now! Quote:Pros' tips and experiences And later in the magazine, the link to our website is repeated as well. This isn't much news, one could say, but I think it's awesome to see how far this site has gotten from another point of view. Come on, let's try to reach the stars now! ![]() BEYBLADE SPIRIT l The Cover's Book | Kai-Zer l BEYUNION ベイブレード 「There were lines under his eyes so dark she wondered if they were actually done with makeup. Like he hadn't slept in days - no, like he had never slept in his life. Like his sense of justice would not allow him to sleep, since he had so many difficult cases to think about, battling unfathomable pressure on a daily basis.」 |

That's cool. I think he did use big bang he's like " it turns from stamina to defnce" and that kinda hints to a 4d bottom....

I thinks it's funny that the man in charge of Hasbro's marketing said that if the bey has a sharp tip, it's an Attack type, whereas he said a flat tip made it a Stamina type
.Congrats all the same, though! Top 10 VA Bladers: (Click to View) ![]() |

This is great stuff, and hopefully will help beyblade to become even more popular!
I must say though that the picture of you and Kei in the center spread makes you both look much younger than I imagined... |

Congrats on the article. The WBO getting all this attention shows that the WBO is a force to be reckoned with. Now only if Hasbro would recognize the WBO

The boy certainly seems to somewhat favor Scott, but the hair is wrong and there is an aspect of his face that is about ten sizes too small...
Although, I suppose photoshop is possible. ![]() Some manner of Octopus.
