One Drop’s very first plastic throw, the Rally, comes out on Friday, and I put together a little trick contest to give one away on the day it’s released.
There’s this trick called Engine Driver I do all the time. It’s a simple repeater, and if you can make a video doing the most repetitions of the trick in one throw, you’ll get a brand new Rally. See? Simple.
You’ve got until 5pm PST on Friday, July 19th. Go go go!
I’ll give it a go ;D not familiar with the trick but I’ll learn it… I’d be fair game if it was a trick I’ve already done a million times like skin the gerbil though ;D
Yeah, I thought I’d do something new, and give myself an excuse to make a tutorial. Plus I really like this trick, and I’d like to see more people trying it.
I suppose it’s possible, but I think the most probable cause for having to quit and bind is the yo-yo going off axis, which it does a little with every repetition, at least the way I do it. So a super sleeper might not be much better than any other.
Quick clarification: You don’t need to do all the tricks in a row, just in one throw. So if the yo-yo goes off axis or you hit a snag, you can do what you need to correct it and start again, and as long as the yo-yo’s still spinning, I won’t reset the count or anything until you actually bind and collect.
And no regens. That’s cheating. Any sort of bind would end your count.
So maybe a BTH or something would give you a little advantage. But still, you’d be correcting it a lot. Nobody’s posted a video yet, so at this point, everyone’s got a pretty good shot.
Two days left! We’ve had a couple really good submissions, but I want to see lots of people try this out. If I get enough of a response, I’ll probably have another contest for the next One Drop release. It’d be fun to make this a regular thing.
The only available color so far is green with black weight rings and hubs, so that’s the one you’ll be getting. There is a blue version, but it’s pre-production and it’s never leaving me.
haha good to see you’re finally doing this contest
