If a mod thinks this should be in a different section, please do move the thread. :]
So, last month I entered a yoyo video contest (for those of you who haven't yet figured it out...I yoyo. A lot). I then made it to the top 10. Of over 100 submissions. Yay right? Yes, yay! But unfortunately, the voting system they had for the top 10 videos was flawed. It was a poll on a yoyo forum. And people were making fake accounts and voting for themselves over and over. Then hell broke loose on the forum. And that's when the company who's running the contest decided to change things up a bit.
There will be 3 winners, one from each of the critereas that the company has set. And one of those critereas is whoever has the most views on the video. Which is where you lovely people come in!
Each one of your views count, and just clicking on the video is awesome in my eyes. But if you want to be REALLY awesome, you'll send it to a friend, or 2 friends, or 3 friends, or even just display it to everybody on your facebook wall or twitter page...
Or of course you don't gotta do anything. I only really want to win this contest so I can gain a little more money to put towards getting more film gear, so I can start making more professional looking videos, and start a few personal projects I've been wanting to start.
Well, if you were cool enough to read all of this, HERE'S THE VIDEO. :]

Oh, and just so you all know, the idea of the contest wasn't to showcase tricks, but to inspire people to try to make a more creative and different yoyo video. For this video, I took the basic "yoyo video" concept (kid standing in front of a camera, yoyoing), and attempted to make it darker than it would usually be done.
So there ya go. Enjoy! :]
