No one had a big issue with solving the spin-math problem presented by Round 8, so ALL move right ahead. This time you’ve got 2 days to get your vids in.
This Alex Lozyniak trick is a true mid-school classic from the era when ball-bearings were really cementing their dominance over fixed axles with regard to mainstream play and progression. I have always found this trick to be beautiful in its simplicity. It is the quintessential “smooth repeater” and its length and string geometry present a fun challenge for fixed axle. If you don’t already know it, learn it and give me 3 reps with a flyaway dismount. Oh, and do me a favor and don’t make it look all gross and staccato. It’s called Superflow.
i mean… it’s inevitably going to be biased against people who have less time to yo-yo, yeah. i can’t imagine a way to structure this contest where that wouldn’t be the case. ALL of you knocked down what i felt was an even harder trick in less than 2 days.
I won’t have a chance to tape until I get off work Tuesday. I’m out now. Will be out until 4 on Tuesday. Don’t stop it early, I may get it. I wish I hadn’t posted the last trick until tomorrow, but I don’t trust my internet hookup.
well, i just did. i’m sorry that’s frustrating, but i think the change reflects the ability the final four have expressed thus far.
as i explained in our pm, of the 4 players left, most have been knocking these challenges down within a few HOURS, let alone 3 days. a 3 day limit has not been a challenge to our final four in the vast majority of instances.
done. boom. i just changed them again, i guess.
i’m doing my best, yooldman, to run a fun, interesting, challenging (in fact, downright DIFFICULT), and yes, fair contest. believe me, i am PAINFULLY AWARE that in this effort i have not been able to make everyone happy.
lovejoy is definitely not cheating! i’d love to see you knock these down with a no jive (cause i know you could), but tmbr is TOTALLY fair game for this. and that was preposterously quick to learn and hit that trick.
