SPONSOR SHOUTOUT! I wanted to take a minute once in awhile throughout this contest to showcase some of our incredible sponsors! First up is none other than YoYoExpert! Can we just all take a moment and acknowledge how awesome YYE is? When I first posted a feeler on my Instagram about this contest, Expert was one of the first to lend a hand in sponsoring. What I love about YYE is that they care about every aspect of the yoyo community, from big contests to, well, ones like this one! Shortly after this contest ends, be sure to return here to the forums! There will be a poll for selecting the “community favorite”! ---

SPONSOR SHOUTOUT! Let’s take a moment to recognize ZipLine Strings! There are a lot of people in the yoyo community who are passionate about this toy, but there are few as passionate as Jeremy Parker, owner of ZipLine Strings! For all those who enter the contest, ZipLine is contributing a free pack of strings. How awesome is that!? Make sure to check out all the rules for the contest (listed above). Please feel free to share info about this contest with others via your social media. I can’t wait to see your submissions! ---

SPONSOR SHOUTOUT! Next up is the always amazing G Squared YoYos, owned and operated by one of the best guys in yoyo, Jacob Gross! Not only does G2 make good yoyos and sponsor cool players, 😊 they also support the scene in so many tangible ways. On a personal note, Jake has always supported me in all my yoyo endeavors-he’s just cool like that. Thank you for being a sponsor for Clash of The Ancients, G Squared YoYos! ---

SPONSOR SHOUTOUT! One Drop YoYos. Their reputation speaks for itself. Shawn and David are good people and they deeply love the yoyo community. Thank you, thank you, One Drop for always being people of integrity and for supporting this niche community! And thank you for sponsoring Clash of The Ancients! On a personal note, the Project 2 was my first metal. I wish I still had it. ☹ ---

This is just the kind of thing I need to motivate me to video my original tricks! The only problem for me is that I just started a new business in 2018, and it’s my first tax season. Really bad timing for me to get in practice, video, edit. Plus, I would want to do my own music. I was even going to cheat by using a Doc Pop element! I wish the deadline was April 1st, but I know you don’t want to drag things out. I’ll try to squeeze it in… Also, could you grade on a sliding scale? I’m 53… 😆 ---
