Totally called it!
And many others did too.

Sanchez was defiantly my number 2.
He is a monster

Yay!

I had no doubt in my mind Josh was going to win this thing. Heā€™s a straight out boss! :smiley:

3rd ainā€™t bad 8)

By no means am I disappointed with how I placed, but I wonder how many voted for Josh got simply because he is Josh.

Iā€™ll be fighting even harder for 1st next year. Be ready!!

You better win man!
:slight_smile:
Rooting for ya!

Nah man, placeholder is gonna go all the way nextyear! He got 5th this year and is alreadytraining hard dor nextyear. He aint happy with just a tube of ammo and some type x ;D

ill take that ammo and type x Iā€™m about to run dry only have about 13 of each leftā€¦

Sorry my tricks didnā€™t seem worthy of the top to you.

I like to think I laid down what was needed, although I have learned much through this. I held back quite a bit the previous rounds trying to have ā€œjust enoughā€, but doing this almost cost me (I honestly think Alex G should have beat my previous round)
But in the end, I knew what I needed to bring, and I stepped it up.
There was no doubt.

Nice to have won, but I am happy to have the experience. And it felt nice, been a while since Iā€™ve done one of these big battles. Keeps me motivated ya know ^ ^.

Thanks for holding this contest Alex F! Now to figure out what I even want, with my mentality of ā€œthere are no good yoyos, only bad yoyos, and worse.ā€ I gotta see what trashy yoyo I can find huh. XD
Funz funz.

Consider me crowned.

Haru.

Josh, youā€™re saying it yourself; I also thought it was clear you were holding back. Yet you still went through each round! Itā€™s not that you didnā€™t have the potential (you are some sort of yoyo master that Iā€™ll never even approach; a real world-class player!) but that your videos didnā€™t always seem to be better than some of the competitors.

I think that we both agree that the video that was meant to go against Sanchezā€™s would have lost by a landslide. Not that it wasnā€™t good, but that it didnā€™t have the kind of voter appeal that was becoming obvious throughout the competition. You caught a lucky break that things got confused. :wink:

But all the same, congratulations!

Congrats also to the runners-up who all put up an incredibly entertaining battle. And you know what? Congratulations to those who lost in earlier rounds; there was some stiff competition and it was really inspiring to see everyone ā€œsign upā€ and share with us all.

And most importantly: HUMONGOUS ENORMOUS THANK YOUS to Alex Fairhurst for putting this all together. Truly amazing, man. You really did something extraordinary here, and I hope we get to see it happen again next year!

What were the prizes everyone got again?

Very well done to all that competed, as well as to Alex for doing a sensational job of organising this. Next year Iā€™m totally on it. =D

I personally feel that placeholder was robbed. He had the higher scoring tricks and the flow, but in the end it all just came down to politicsā€¦

Enjoyed taking part of this, definitely wanna see more of this in the future. Grats and Thank You to everyone involved!

This is for sure happenin again next year. Looking forward to seeing how our participants have improved by then.

Huge thanks again to all those who donated prizes.

Weā€™ll turn on the hype machine beforehand and try and get a few companies interested. =P

What would be awesome next year is if the votes couldnā€™t show up to people. That way the tension would be greater and itā€™d be more of a surprise when the results were actually revealed. No idea how youā€™d make it work though, maybe an independent website or somethingā€¦

An interesting ideaā€¦and I quite like it! But youā€™d have to have a way to be authenticated. I wonder if the forum software has some sort of option to not instantly show poll resultsā€¦ hmmā€¦

That is actually an option when creating a Poll. So it can definitely happen.

I was thinking about an independent website. And I like the idea. But Iā€™m lazy so it might not happen.
