Video Contest - Win a Bassalope!!


To celebrate the new batch of Bassalopes we are having a video contest where you can have the opportunity of winning your very own Bassalope!!

 

I just had a talk with Sebastian and we came up with some ground rules:

 

1) One trick/combo

2) Your video must be done in one take (no editing different tricks together)

3) Max video time is 30 seconds

4) Mulitple entries are okay

5) Contest ends September 30th

6) You can use whatever yoyo you want

 

Send a youtube or vimeo link of your yoyo trick video to cariboulodgecontest@hotmail.com also please include your name and address so we can get a hold of you and send you your prize at the end.

    What are you guys judging these videos on? The trick itself, or the trick and cinematography?

  2. Joseph Says:

    I am so going to do this!~
    Thanks!

  3. reuben Says:

    Wow! This is great! One question though, are we required to use CLYW yoyos? From past contests, I’d assume not, but it’s better to clarify.

  4. Chris Says:

    We will be judging these videos on the trick themselves…but if they are not shot well and you can’t follow the string/yoyo then I can’t imagine that you’d do very well, because we won’t really know what exactly is going on. So try to shoot your videos clear.

  5. Sebby Says:

    Best trick and overall video wins.

    <3

  12. Baldo Says:

  13. MadDog Says:

  14. Eric Ngu Says:

    is it only 1a

  15. Chris Says:

    Regens are okay, any style of play is also okay. No binds back to the hand though.

  16. Adam Spencer Says:

  19. MadDog Says:

    Sweet, I already recorded a 5A combo last night. I cant wait to get it up!

  20. reuben Says:

    do we have to use clyw yoyos?

  21. Chris Says:

    Eyeballs!!

    6) You can use whatever yoyo you want

  22. Rumen Says:

    Is it a problem if I’m from Bulgaria? ^^

  23. Chris Says:

    Of course it isn’t.

  24. snake Says:

    cool i’m in !

    Just one shot one trick and no great editing job everybody can try this ! cool

    Those litles contests are great because many yoer just make vids for them and that’s so cool !
    Good job guys !^^ (my first time on an international contest …)

  25. yoyoplayer Says:

    how should i name it like CLYW video contest or someting ?

  26. Seth Trimble Says:

    im in =]

  27. Chris Says:

    Hi yoyoplayer, yup that works. You can name it whatever you want really. Just send us the link!!

  28. Kyle Says:

    When it says “Your video must be done in one take (no editing different tricks together,” does that mean we have to land it perfectly on camera the first time? Or, can we record the trick a few times and send you the one that we pulled off the best as long as we don’t string together mutliple recordings of the trick?
    thanks!

  29. Chris Says:

    Kyle, yup just send in your trick when it’s ready. Multiple takes are okay. Just it has to be landed clean if you want to win. No editing different tricks together.

  30. Ernest Says:

    is it cool if we edit stuff before the actual trick? (small intro)

  31. Chris Says:

    Small intro: Yes please :)

  32. nick Says:

    i am going to make my video today.

  33. Eric Ngu Says:

    done and sent
    yay

  34. Marius Says:

    which color is the prize?

  35. Zammy Says:

    So if I read this correctly, it has to be done via a responsive bearing instead of a bearing that is unresponsive and needs a bind?

    aha! Sebby and Chris, your making us have a challenage.

  37. Chris Says:

    Zammy you are little incorrect. It can be with whatever yoyo with whatever setup doing whatever style of play.

  38. Mayo Says:

    If my yoyo not spins for 30 sec?
    can i bind it up and resume a trick?
    is it incorrect?
    answer please :D

  39. Chris Says:

    I guess so…I’m a little confused.

  40. Marko Says:

    Definitely in for the fun of it. ;) The footage is ready guys, i hope there will be lots of videos to watch.

  41. Jeury Says:

    I think he’s trying to say that he can’t make his yoyo sleep for more then 30 seconds, and he wants to know if he can throw a second time to finish the trick.

  42. Chris Says:

    ohhhhhhhhhhh…you don’t have to make a 30 second trick. Your trick can be shorter. It’s just your trick can’t be longer then 30 seconds. That’s the maximum. If your yoyo can’t spin that long then do a regen. No binds back to the hand allowed.

  43. Zuha Says:

    this sounds nice.
    i’ll give it a try…

    three winners?

  44. Logan Horstkotte Says:

    Does the bind at the end count? :p Except a great one from me!

  45. reuben Says:

    Oh dear, I’m not sure if I got the criteria correct. What I read what that we aren’t allowed to edit different tricks together ie something like a collage, but what I did was to have the same trick filmed from different angles, and then pieced them together, with different timings of the trick having different angles, because it can’t be seen from some angles at some timings. Will this be a problem? Or am I supposed to have the whole trick in one shot? Thanks Chris!

  46. George Says:

    Done and sent, hope you all like it!
    And it’s so awesome that there’s another CLYW contest! Keep up the good work :)

  47. Roland Says:

    I hope that my video will be in the top ten :)
    if it won’t, no problem becouse that’s my first CLYW contest :P

    Only 5 days left!
    Approaching the end of the competition.
    Who will be the winner(s), that’s the big question :)

    A lot of worry for everyone, each competitor.

  48. Chris Says:

    Reuben, please watch Krisztian’s video to get an idea of what we’re looking for.

  49. nick Says:
