This would have been cooler if it was the Best Banger that included a grind! I feel like way too many people are going to tie for the longest grind so I think that there should be a different approach that there is a clear winner ---

since we have to hop into the grind, what about grind transitions? or would we have to hop between grinds too? [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/grind-challenge-win-a-code-2/58018.md?page=2)
