Obviously competitions are important but only a tiny percentage of throwers ever compete and even those who follow competitions are a fraction of the larger fan base. I’ll tell you what got me into it and a lot of other people: cool videos. And I don’t mean some guy in his room doing sick combos or anyone on stage, I mean a well produced and awesome looking video with slow mo etc that makes people think “That looks awesome, I want to try that.” This Rally video is IMO one of the best ever made and it is, what, 6 years old? This is the kind of stuff we need [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/2/8/a281a4257dfde673550722545aa87d9d4b5c196c.jpeg "RALLY") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1vVys5kmhM) ---

> [@moby323](#): > > I’ll tell you what got me into it and a lot of other people: cool videos. I can see how contests help keep things going, but this ^^^^ is what got me in and continues to inspire. Some of the craziest, arguably most important, innovators of all time have never made a big splash in contests (umm… Sid Seed, Ricardo Fraolini, etc.). Meanwhile, videos continue to be a great source for inspiring, creative, pure yoyoing (Tyler Vienneau). ---

> [@brandonvu](#): > > I’d consider competitions with different scoring systems. So the people who are currently dissatisfied with how competitions are currently judged have an avenue or criteria that values their tricks. _Maybe the scoring is purely evals or creativity based._ Well, people have been dissatisfied with the contest scoring system for many years and years but it doesn’t seem like there’s been a meaningful change - where meaningful would be a change to the scoring system that shifts contest-style yoyoing away from a simple “more is more” numbers game. Again, some of the most amazing yoyoers are/were not rewarded in the contest system as it is, and I’m pessimistic that this will change. I totally lost interest in contest results and contest freestyle videos but would love to be excited about it again. ---

I’ve always thought the same thing dude. By now it’s become a common practice in just about everything. One of the first things that comes to mind is the use of videos like this in skating. I mean skate teams have been filming videos before YouTube even existed, and since then have adapted pretty well to most modern forms of social media. I think it’d be great to see more videos like this in yoyoing 😃. ---

I think something like Clash 44 would be great for more local “contests”. ---

First, you need a man and a woman, or one or two women, a donor and a turkey baster. Then… sorry, couldn’t resist. 😜 ---
