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?
September 21st, 2009 at 2:13 am
I am so going to do this!~
Thanks!
September 21st, 2009 at 8:12 am
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.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:29 am
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.

Best trick and overall video wins.

September 21st, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Could we include a regen? And could it be any style?
September 21st, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Is 5A allowed, it is all I do. If it is 1A then I fail, haha.
September 21st, 2009 at 7:06 pm
is it only 1a
September 21st, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Regens are okay, any style of play is also okay. No binds back to the hand though.
September 21st, 2009 at 7:20 pm

September 21st, 2009 at 8:15 pm
AWWWW YEAH!

September 22nd, 2009 at 3:43 am
Sweet, I already recorded a 5A combo last night. I cant wait to get it up!
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:28 am

September 22nd, 2009 at 8:50 am
Eyeballs!!
6) You can use whatever yoyo you want
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:05 am
Is it a problem if I’m from Bulgaria? ^^
September 22nd, 2009 at 9:45 am
Of course it isn’t.
September 22nd, 2009 at 12:51 pm
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 …)
September 22nd, 2009 at 1:11 pm
how should i name it like CLYW video contest or someting ?
September 22nd, 2009 at 3:58 pm
im in =]
September 22nd, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Hi yoyoplayer, yup that works. You can name it whatever you want really. Just send us the link!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 6:55 pm
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!
September 22nd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
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.
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:37 pm
is it cool if we edit stuff before the actual trick? (small intro)
September 22nd, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Small intro: Yes please
September 23rd, 2009 at 7:46 am
i am going to make my video today.
September 23rd, 2009 at 6:05 pm
done and sent
yay
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:05 pm
which color is the prize?
September 24th, 2009 at 2:35 am
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.

September 24th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Zammy you are little incorrect. It can be with whatever yoyo with whatever setup doing whatever style of play.
September 24th, 2009 at 9:00 am
If my yoyo not spins for 30 sec?
can i bind it up and resume a trick?
is it incorrect?
answer please
September 24th, 2009 at 9:05 am
I guess so…I’m a little confused.
September 24th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Definitely in for the fun of it.
The footage is ready guys, i hope there will be lots of videos to watch.
September 24th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
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.
September 24th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
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.
September 24th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
this sounds nice.
i’ll give it a try…
three winners?
September 24th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Does the bind at the end count? :p Except a great one from me!
September 25th, 2009 at 3:49 am
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!
September 25th, 2009 at 5:24 am
Done and sent, hope you all like it!
And it’s so awesome that there’s another CLYW contest! Keep up the good work
September 25th, 2009 at 6:47 am
I hope that my video will be in the top ten
if it won’t, no problem becouse that’s my first CLYW contest
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.
