Unfortunately I believe I am an inbetweener. I am definitely too old to be able to hack my iKindle or download my itunes directly to my clouds; but I am also too young to have gone to one of those nice Glen Miller ballroom dances, to be able to slide-rule, or to be able to designate myself a mod/rocker. However, I will watch this thread with large amounts of age-induced discombobulation. ---

@beezy, angel swag is the hippest kind of swag right now. Thug Angel it up! @Studio42, I definitely never figured youā€™d submit one. Would be a heck of a shocker, though! * * * Updated original postā€¦ every competitor who submits a video will be getting a 5-pack of Jackrabbits. Extra 5 for the winner. Also bumped to the bullet list: In case one of the original criteria has been lost along the way, this battle is open to people with somewhere in the very general neighborhood of a year or less ā€œrecentā€ throwing experience. Tell you what, thoughā€¦ if youā€™re an ā€œold personā€ and youā€™re not qualified to compete based on lengthy experience, lay down a quick sample video of what we have to look forward to, and Iā€™ll have a 5-er of Jackrabbits sent your way anyhow. Iā€™ll have a separate ā€œrocking chair showcaseā€ section. :wink: Just tell me when you send me your link that itā€™s for the showcase, not the battle. * * * Super-big thanks to yooldman, tooā€¦ I mean really, it was his idea. He saw that we have roughly the same amount of experience and jokingly (jokingly, I say!) suggested a battle to celebrate our 1-year yoyoing milestones. I thought to myself, ā€œWhat the heck? Why not!?ā€ and proposed doing it for real. If he had said ā€œno thanksā€ it probably would have died there. :wink: ---

You, of all people, need to make video! Skill-wise, I probably meet the requirements. In real time, Iā€™ve been throwing on and off for four years and really didnā€™t start throwing with real intent until late last summer. I might throw clip together for kicks. I will definitely be watching the battle. ---
