I don’t think I’m going to get any of them in time, but I just wanted to say: thank you for posting these!

I’ve had a lot of fun since the competition started practicing and learning the first trick. And it’s been awesome seeing everyone else practicing & getting it!

Don’t have an entry to include- but regardless, thanks for making these trick videos & getting everyone to learn them with the competition :slight_smile:

Updated my list with those who have completed tricks. The list is way bigger than I was expecting. You’ve all done awesome. A lot of you didn’t think you could do any of them but you nailed them regardless and that’s the coolest part of all this for me. Very impressive stuff. Thank you guys!

Here’s #2 and #3! I was going to grind out #1 too, but honestly getting #3 down burned me out. The hook in #1 is so hard!

I hope these aren’t too sloppy! #2 and the back half of #3 are definitely going into my trick rotation, thanks for doing these tutorials!

I can’t keep up with replying to all these anymore! I’ve kept my spreadsheet up to date though.

Today is the last day you can submit. When I get up tomorrow morning I’ll close it off and then figure out how we’re doing the drawing

Ok so entries are closed. I think this was a lot of fun and I’m very grateful for everyone who participated. I definitely think we’ll do this again in the future. Special thank you to @AndreBoulay for making this happen.

24 people entered 54 tricks. 13 people learned all 3 tricks and got entered into another draw for a $100 gift voucher for YYE.

I’m very happy, I hope you had as good a time with this as I did!

We definitely made the simple, amazing!

Thank you @chaosgow! I’m super impressed with everyone who participated. We thought it was a bit of a wild idea but you guys proved it a good one and Jordan’s immense efforts really made it work! Love it! :100:

aghrrr in the end I didn’t even make 1 submission.

But I really enjoyed the whole process and learnt a great deal from the challenge.
Thank you @chaosgow & @AndreBoulay for hosting such a fun challenge.

Whilst it was never about winning for me and wanting to challenge myself and see if I can complete these tricks in time, taking 3 weeks off to go to Malaysia and Vietnam in a 4 week challenge kind of killed my chances.

I expected a lot of downtime with plenty of time to work on these tricks without distractions whilst away but in reality I had almost no time to spare at all while I was away.

Still I have taken away so much from this challenge, and I feel like my objective going into the absurdity challenge has somewhat been achieved and I am very happy to have tried.

Thanks again guys for the amazing time.

Pink is objectively better. I can prove it

haha all kidding aside, your yos are jaw dropping beautiful. I have nothing against pink (other than the fact that it’s not green! lol).

Thank you, very kind. But I’m not joking, pink is better

No argument from me :slight_smile: We all like our own things.

This has me wanting to know more about OPYOYOS. I’d love to know more of the story behind it. I checked your site hoping for an article or something on the history of your company and why you’ve chosen Only Pinks.

Sorry I’m being so off topic here!

Sometimes I regret being so narrow with the yos I collect (only collecting 1 specific colorway).
