CONTEST for my NEW string!

[Paul]

As you can see in the picture below, Wumbo (the pink string) is 50% thicker than Plasma (the red string).



this string is "TYPE 12"! YES... 12!!

"Wumbo" was developed by me as a side project in search for the best slack string possible. The results were so amazing that I decided to put Wumbo into full production!

Wumbo is very thick, but still unresponsive. It binds just like regular string (nylon is very unresponsive, and therefore the added thickness finds the responsiveness around the same as Polyester string. It plays surprisingly smooth (this took lots of trial and error!) considering the thickness of the string.

It is not as slippery feeling as Plasma, but is made with the same material so play is nearly as fast.

The Coupe de Gras of Mumbo is that it holds slack like no other string I have EVER played.

Here is a link to a video of its Slack Abilities:

I am doing a contest involving this string.



I want you to nominate SOMEBODY ELSE and tell me why they deserve some string.

If the person you nominate wins, you both win 15 of my WUMBO strings - your choice of colors!


go nuts. sumbit videos of them, make videos of them! TAKE VIDEOS OF THEM WHILE THEY SLEEP! i don't care! Just give me a good reason they (and you!) should win!

one nomination per person please :]

people can be nominated more than once, but you can only nominate one.

if you nominate more than one person - you will not be entered into the contest.

he is such a awsome guy, he's the reason I got inspired to get into real yoyoing cuz of watching his vids
and he won first place in a contest in indonesia ( it was his first contest I think?)
and he has gone quite far in yoyoing ( very awsome for a guy that yoyoed for like 1-2 years???)

[Douglas Brown]

Nice contest idea! I have some questions, though. Is it one nomination per person? Can one person only be nominated once? Asked in another way, is the winner based on popularity or the explanation of why they should win?

also curious about that. this string seems right up me alley. thick, unresponsive, good tension, smooth. yep

[nick-m]

it helps to read the rules >.> <.<

sorry forgot to say!!

one nomination per person please :]

people can be nominated more than once, but you can only nominate one.

if you nominate more than one person - you will not be entered into the contest.

but yeah. i did it cause all these "tell me why you should get this prize" turns into a pissing contest about who can suck up harder.

not what i want!

[Sumna]

i would like to nominate vguitars aka Brett, he is really progressing fast and is just getting way to good way to fast, also he has a really awesome camera to film stuff with =P

[FHzero]

I would suggest Tie. Or beverchakus.

He's an awesome guy,nice to talk to. He's actually patient with most people here,which is amazing..

-Andrew

[thebean]

Beverchakus (Tie)

He's a great guy with great tricks and he doesn't take himself too seriously.

[FNG]

I'll try some of your string.

My style IS slack. I'll tell you if it works well or not. 

[Connor1]

Man that guy Connor1 is a really friendly person. He helps new players, supports yoyonation with basically at least one order a month, and uses g-string himself! He isn't that good yet, but with some practice he could get pretty good. I think Connor1 should be nominated for some g-string Wumbo!

[Jayyo]

I nominate Sean VanZandt aka "yoyokos"

He is an awesome guy and a very talented yoyoer, and I know that if he got these strings, he would love em, Slack is what he does.
Here is a video example:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/0rzj1Mh6RSw&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18&amp;rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/0rzj1Mh6RSw&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18&amp;rel=0</a>

5A is amazing too, he could do crazy stuff with slack 5A I bet! :O
He is such an amazing yoyoer and he will put these strings to good use.

Nomination complete!
