Thanks Larry! It was nice to compile together all those tricks. I believe they are in chronological order, almost all from 2010 (the Wizard Gyro video was from last January).

So yeah, that was a bunch of awesome!!! Wonderful rise to the challenge Mr. Ta0.

The winner will be announced as soon as possible.  Thank you all for your entries, they are all way beyond what I expected, and I thank you!  We have one free tip to award the winner, and I would like to award each participant with something... hopefully that something will be announced with the winner.

Thanks, I enjoyed putting it together.

Did anybody notice the "spintpos" at the end? I guess nobody has, even if the spelling error is in big letters. I only noticed after watching it several times. Funny how the brain works. A problem with Youtube is that you cannot edit the video without losing the link, comments, etc.

spintpos!  That's pretty funny.  I totally missed it.  Thanks for pointing it out.

It's kind of like a spintop typo rolled into one.......spintpos!

S8 Video Contest Winners!
« Reply #52 on: January 03, 2011, 02:04:45 PM »

Great news;  Strummol8 has authorized a $10 discount on a double tip for all the entrants, and $15 discount for second place!

So, without further ado... announcing 2nd place... for submitting several new trick concepts and exploiting the S8's grind-ability, second place goes to...  topper 777!!!

And first place... for going above and beyond in every aspect, we must declare ta0 as the winner!!!

A very special thank you to all the runner-ups; runBMC, pplgrande, MatiasStuntMan, Daveid, and jim in paris [edit: forgot Free!!!].  Each of you made excellent contributions, and I am excited to pull all of your talents into one video (I’ve already started  :D ).  If you don’t want to buy a tip with the discount right away, just let me know your preferred color and I will reserve it for you.

 :)  :)  :)  8)  8)  8)

The offer to every participant is very generous (you forgot Free on the list of runner ups.)

It was a pleasure (and a big help) doing the tricks with such fine tops. I have been working some on two-tip tricks with the Cincy double-tip. I want to test how they transfer to the double tip S8.
