[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7-aUne-zL8) Tell my what you think.  My prelim, out of 61 people.  I had a yoyo switch, but I still think that I did pretty well. ---

Pretty good out of 61 people. If you ever want to place higher I suggest that you try to smooth out some of your tricks. Also, try some tricks that can connect with the audience. A lot of people like that. Just have fun, you kinda looked dead serious. Shadowz143 ---

ZJust have fun, you kinda looked dead serious. > > Shadowz143 My tricks are actually pretty smooth compares to others if you look. I even had a guy come up to me and say I had some of the most smooth tricks of the contest. I was trying to focus more on tech too, not as much as pleasing the crowd. ---

Well, I haven’t looked at the other vids, have any links? And I understand your reasoning for the technical tricks, I personally think connecting with the crowd is pretty sweet for the crowd. Most of your tricks were pretty smooth, but not dead smooth. But whatever just suggestions and constructive criticism. ---

Your prelim score is 100% about your tricks. No pleasing the audience until finals. ---
