I knew personally from the instructions it was who ever got the most votes on a picture wins. I did not care about the yoyo I just wanted to share a picture. I think too keep it fair because a lot of people did see the little kid in the picture and kind of mainly all voted that picture to keep it fair it should be random. I voted for the kid myself personally because it was a kid and I did not give anyone else a chance even tho some pictures I thought were better so I also played the role in making it unfair ---

I donā€™t think it should be randomly decided, but I also donā€™t think it should be decided by likes, because it disadvantages later entries. Just my opinion, ultimately it doesnā€™t really matter, lol. Thanks for putting this on! It was fun to try and get some half decent photos of some jumpy little guys in 100-degree weather, haha. ---

Yippee! A great big genuine thank you to all this marvellous community! Iā€™ve been veryā€¦VERY interested throwing the Ptarmigan since @Slestak75 put me onto it with raving reviews when I opened a discussion asking for recommendations on d bearing throws. And that man can sing a yoyos praise as if backed by a Harlem choir! So much so I had one in a basket and followed checkout through to check the ludicrous postage cost and balked! Sorry @Cmchappell97 this is gonna hurt a little more than a domestic winner! Is the generously offer ptarmigan the D bearing model (please please please) or C? (Can give 2 pleases for that one)! Iā€™m stoked! Ma boy Reilly is stoked! My wife is also pretty stoked that I can scratch the itch without dropping a chunk of change! And @Yoyotradie is stoked. Yeah man, youā€™re first on the list of this birds new flight. (Thereā€™s also a chance a dreamland will come down under too, should check that out!) Thanks again yā€™all, a real pleasure to be here! ---

> [@The\_Throws\_Of\_Yo](#): > > Is the generously offer ptarmigan the D bearing model (please please please) or C? Iā€™m quite certain that this was the C bearing model. Although not the D model, that in no way detracts from how great it is. Honestly if one takes it for what it is without comparison, itā€™s a great throw. It is a real pleasure to throw. It accelerates faster than the D, on the throw it travels much more quickly to the bottom. It changes direction quickly and requires a bit more accuracyā€¦ thatā€™s all. Youā€™ll love it. ---

Well. The good, nay great, news is, our friend @Cmchappell97 has heard my plea and generously offered the last D bearing ptarmagin to me at a vastly reduced price. Both these beauties are now in transit down under! Wouldnā€™t be here without ya man. Another heartfelt thankyou to you Steve, and again to all in this fabulous community! ---

Iā€™ve really been enjoying these lovely yoyos! Iā€™m pleased I lashed out for the D bearing as well, Iā€™ve bonded with it rather strongly, and was not expecting the beautiful pearl colour it transforms into when spinning (my camera wonā€™t do it justice, so I wonā€™t try) Unfortunately, my vocabulary for describing yoyos is about on par with my vocabulary for describing beer, and falls into 3 main categories. 1. Ooh, beer! 2. Mmm, beer! 3. Thatā€™s F$@#ing delicious beer! Well, these are F$@#ing delicious yoyos! Will call out for interey in the intended Aussie leg of the PIF once a little more acquainted. Thanks @Cmchappell97 you da man, man!
