smallexis Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I can't beleive my eyes when I see that only 45 members have taken time to vote until this day. What's happen? Remember this is the first time that such kind of event is organized and just for the respect of people that have made a video and for the ones that organized the contest, YOU SHOULD PARTICIPATE TO THE VOTE.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 I think part of the problem is "Sticky Post Blindness." Maybe if the voting thread was in red people would notice it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait how can you tell how many people voted since you're not a mod? 8 minutes ago, HunkaHunkaBurningLove said: I think part of the problem is "Sticky Post Blindness."

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 It actually shows 46 people voted at the headline of the poll thread. Does this forum have a pop up message option when people visit? That way the board could send a message to make people aware of the voting which is closing in a couple of days!

Since you're one of the most active posters on this forum, maybe you can change your signature for the next day or so until it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Are you basically saying that I am the member with the most verbal diarrhea? Why thanks! Done and Done! Um is that too large? (heh I say that to all the ladies... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Eucist Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 That signature is awesome. Meanwhile I unpinned and unfeatured (temporarily) all the stuff in the General Forum aside from this thread and the actual voting thread. Perhaps that will increase visibility. The voting thread has all the links to the other contest threads like the actual submissions and the discussion one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Unfortuntely on iDevices like my iPhone the signature doesn't show up so I'll include it here in the message body! I was going to make a sultry, slightly smutty banner, but cooler heads prevailed. Gotta stay classy and PG-13 . Click me baby. you know you want to!

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Someone's going to win a really nice InMotion V5F+ or shiny, brand new InMotion V8 16" cruiser! Second and third cash prizes are also awesome - thanks anonymous sponsor - you know who you are and deserve plenty of credit! @Rehab1 this whole thing wouldn't be a reality without you and the help from all the mods so we can't thank you enough for your contribution and hard work. @Jason McNeil - you've gone above and beyond so often I want to vote you in as President of the United States as you'd be a sure bet over those other two. It's not whether you win or lose it's how you play the game. There's incredible talent to be recognized by all the contestants so don't be disappointed if you don't place in the top three as the competition level is so very high! I consider everyone who has an entry has won already in my mind. These tricks take a lot of work to perfect, and it's amazing to see them in everyone's videos. Thank you for sharing them.

Thank you @HunkaHunkaBurningLove! The forum moderators @Cloud, @esaj, @John Eucist, @dmethvin, @Jag_Rip, @Shoe73 @Gimlet. along with @Jason McNeil have provided significant time, effort and talent to this contest!! The contest simply could not have come to fruition without their kind and thoughtful assistance throughout the entire process! I am truly honored! Even though I am not a contestant, which applies to about 98% of all the other forum members, we all WIN! You, the forum members, are part of a unique community that has opened its' doors to generously invite strangers in to become part of a special group willing to shares their stories, experiences, and personal videos! You have provided thoughtful riding instructions and tips to members young and old and cared for each other by offering cautionary suggestions to avoid bumps, bruises and serious injuries. In other words: We are Family! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 58 votes out of over 3500 members is a 1.7% voter turn out. If you haven't already please vote for your favorite videos! The contestants have put a lot of effort into the videos so the least viewers can do is help put a vote in. If the US presidential election has such a low voter turn out they might have Trump as president! If you have voted already thanks for your contribution!

kmoon Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm not allowed to vote but I'm wondering whether the jury will take the rules into account. Like the max allowed time and the use of copyrighted material. I've seen several videos longer than 3 minutes and videos containing music by artists who I doubt gave permission to use it. Also.. while I have the greatest respect for Damien and being a huge fan I find that he may be overqualified for a talent competition. He's probably the best artistic rider in the world and he's doing commercials for inmotion, which incidentally is the main prize in the completion. Anyways, I applaud this competition. It's a great initiative and I hope it will be repeated next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 @kmoon judging of the contest results will be done according to the published rules of the contest. In case of controversial or questionable items, forum moderators , who have the prerogative to interpret the results, will make a decision on how to judge. Being "overqualified" does not constitute valid grounds for one's exclusion from the contest. Damien has the right to be a contestant just like anyone else. thank you for your concerns.

Speak your piece! The forum moderators @Cloud, @esaj, @John Eucist, @dmethvin, @Jag_Rip, @Shoe73 @Gimlet. Its ok @Rehab1, obviously everyone is excited and the stakes are high at the conclusion of the contest. Gotta have some controversy! Only proves that EUC is the real sport!! I know this contest is your baby, but dont take it to heart. Its ok if people have concerns or questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
