Good luck, everyone 🙂 Also, to those who move onto the next round. PLEASE wear a dark Tshirt and use bright string. A lot easier to see the tricks that way. 😛 ---

I thought the rule was 30 seconds or less. Because of this, I voted for those who were closest to staying inside the time limit. This means: Actually, the only matchup with both players staying the time limit is Finch and Nardcopter. I voted for Finch on this one for the cool flowing trick. Nardcopter’s trick was good, but because of the background I couldn’t catch everything because it blended in with the string. I voted for Mazdarx7fd for a couple of reasons. 1) I liked the angle better than Mr.nightshadow95, 2) his trick(s) seemed smoother to me, and 3) the time limit again. Between offstring-stewart and baerinatux, I took baerinatux because of the time limit. His video, imo, was a little better though. Between J Singh 2K and Abby1371, I go for Abby. 1) yes, time limit, 2) I like the gopro angle, 3) I don’t really care for the vids with just yoyo shots. I like it extended out farther so you can see who it is. 4) J Singh 2K spent a lot of time for an intro. So, those are my votes. Boy, I wish I were competing. Could you vote for yourself? ---

> [@LeftyLink](#): > > I was loose about that because everyone’s yoyoing didnt exceed 30 seconds Okay, well, that’s part of how I cast my votes (see my edited post above). Although, everybody I voted for not only had stayed within (what I thought was) the time limit, imo had the better vid as well. ---

Could you vote for yourself? 1. that isn’t a gopro its a contour roam 2 but they have the same idea except the contour is cheaper by $200. 2. when i put it into youtube it must have added a second because it was 30 seconds on my computer 3. I’m not an editing wizard so i just use raw shots because it takes me like 20 minutes just to put music on a video ---
