Editing video and applying Icy Hot. Why can I nail a combo 3 times in a row perfect in practice, turn on a camera, and then blow it for 45 minutes straight! I am blaming it on the wind gusts! Editing video now… ---

Just submitted my video. I was on the fence about entering because I’m not very confident in my skills (especially after watching last year’s entries!), but I figured it’s all in good fun, so I went for it! It was a lot of fun filming the video and I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with! ---

here’s an interesting one: although I don’t have time to record a new video, I found an old, unpublished rough-cut on my harddrive. Currently, I’m in my second year of yoyo’ing but at the time of recording, I was still in my first one. What division should I apply for now? 🙂 ---
