Hey guys, my interview with Keiran Cooper and Patrick Canny for the Scales podcast was just released! I had the pleasure of talking to them about how we used to share yo-yo tricks when I first started yo-yoing versus how we share them now. Listen to the episode below:

The main moral of the interview is: I miss yo-yo videos. Sharing tricks on Instagram through #trickcircle has a lot of pros… but there is something special about making an entire curated package in a trick clip video. So, I thought it would be fun to host a video contest to try and get a few more clip videos out there! So here are the rules…

1) All videos submitted must have the following splash screen at the beginning of the video for 5 seconds.

2) The minimum total duration for the video is 1 minute and 30 seconds.

3) Upload your video on YouTube with the following title format: “Scales Video Contest – name of video”

4) Submit your name, email, and a link to your video at the submission box at the bottom of this page.

5) The deadline for video submissions is Monday, June 26th, 2017. This gives you a little over a month to come up with a video idea, film, edit, and upload!

The guidelines for this contest are pretty open so that everyone entering has a lot of freedom in what kind of video they want to make. I will be judging all of the videos and choose my top 3. The top 3 will receive a ton of bragging rights and YoYoFactory and YoYoExpert were kind enough to put up some great prizes! The prizes are:

1st: YoYoFactory EDGE and an $80 YoYoExpert Gift Certificate

2nd: YoYoFactory Czech Point Pivot and a $50 YoYoExpert Gift Certificate

3rd: YoYoFactory Horizon and a $20 YoYoExpert Gift Certificate

Now get out there and go film! Thanks a ton to the Scales Collective, YoYoNews, YoYoFactory, and YoYoExpert for supporting the community and helping me put this contest together!
