Yep, I’ve actually been using Airetics since before they were available for sale, and the hyperglo yellow standards are my go-to for boutique strings. ---

Are the shirts going to be for sale? Or he needed a shirt to wear to rep the brand? ---

Just to rep the brand for now. I suppose if I really like the shirts I could order more to put up for sale. ---

I’d probably up the diameter about a mm or so. Just to compensate for the material. ---

Wow, thanks, I also learned that the guy who was ahead used a repost account to get all of his likes, so I feel kind of good about passing him. ---

And you can call me biased, but I’d rather someone from the forums win anyways, since this is where Mark got the inspiration to make yoyos. And maybe you also get bonus points for being a fellow Ohioan lol (though I did have to move to that place up north a couple years ago) ---

So sadly I don’t think I’m going to win because last night I asked Mark to review the voting system, and I think he is just gonna decide who wins. 🤷‍♂️ ---

Ultimately it’s Mike’s call, but I have forwarded your concerns about the reposting account to him. I am not sure if that is disqualifying, but what you did definitely isn’t - you posted your trick on your own personal account. So I wouldn’t worry about that. ---

To be fair, smooth tricks is a really good guy. I dont know if he has a personal instagram account or not, but dont hold it against him Edit: or.mike.could just pick me because I’m awesome 🙂 hahah ---

My guess is Mike will watch all the videos, and take both the number of likes and how much he likes each into consideration (that’s probably how I would do it, so it’s not just a popularity contest). But who knows. Either way - I think it’d be really cool if you won.
