Sorry my tricks didn’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 “just enough”, 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 I’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 “there are no good yoyos, only bad yoyos, and worse.” I gotta see what trashy yoyo I can find huh. XD
Funz funz.
Josh, you’re saying it yourself; I also thought it was clear you were holding back. Yet you still went through each round! It’s not that you didn’t have the potential (you are some sort of yoyo master that I’ll never even approach; a real world-class player!) but that your videos didn’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 Sanchez’s would have lost by a landslide. Not that it wasn’t good, but that it didn’t have the kind of voter appeal that was becoming obvious throughout the competition. You caught a lucky break that things got confused.
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 “sign up” 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!
We’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 couldn’t show up to people. That way the tension would be greater and it’d be more of a surprise when the results were actually revealed. No idea how you’d make it work though, maybe an independent website or something…
An interesting idea…and I quite like it! But you’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 results… hmm…
