Couldn’t agree with Greg more, yomagic yours was easily one of the best videos there, I’m pretty sure you would have beaten anyone else, you just got unlucky. 😛 ---

Interesting how my votes fell… I guess it has more to do with the fact I don’t know tricks just by seeing them yet… so I pick simply on… that one looked cooler! 8) ---

To be honest, I see Sanchez202 making it to the end. Whether first or second, I’m not sure. That’s my guess though. ---

I’m sure Josh has a lot in the tank still (we all know he’s a beast!) but based strictly in isolation on the videos of this round, there are multiple people I think would have beat him. (In my opinion, including mrtheblackho. :wink: ) Suffice it to say, unless he pulls out the stops in the next round, he won’t be advancing to the finals, never mind winning it! Again, no hate-- just commenting that although Josh clearly has seamless command of the yoyo and amazing smoothness… resting on those laurels just won’t be enough. ---

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I gotta beat Keiran first if I’m gonna make finals. He is arguably the best person in the entire bracket so we’ll see what happens. I didn’t expect this many votes. The tricks/elements I’ve been putting out so far are actually really old. It’s takes me forever to create a trick and make it smooth so I don’t actually have the time to bring new stuff to the table. And if I did bring my newer stuff up it would be choppy and bad. Thanks though. I’m glad you guys like it. ---

I wish I was up against a less popular opponent this round because it’s kind of a popularity contest in my current battle. Josh held back this round clearly so I’m not complaining haha it is what it is, I’m not very competitive as it is so I expected to lose in this tournament at some point. 🙂 > [@Alex Fairhurst](#): > > Taylor is very good, but I don’t get the rest of that.

On the plus side this little battle has helped me create new stuff. Sorry man. Didn’t seem to work. :wink: But yeah, as long as your progressing and putting out some new tricks, I see nothing wrong with it. Probably more rewarding in the end anyway. 😃 ---
