Hirsute Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Congratulations to everybody! I am very happy to have joined this contest and i hope that there will be other one next year, and the year after, etc... ! Now everydoby have a clear idea of the game, and i'm sure that more people will train to be in next year. Thanks to all the people who organize, people who have fun looking the videos, people who votes, people who discuss about the rules (even if it was boring on the moment). Maybe next year other sponsors will take part to offer more prizes, to motivate people (maybe some V5+, awesome little freestyle wheel). I will talk about it with inmotion France. And i will organize this year some freestyle masterclass in France to boost other riders! Go go go everybody! All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 My sincere congratulations to @Hirsute, @Toby Stevens, @Sidestreet Reny for your winning entries! I applaud the countless number of hours of training, resourcefulness and dedication commited to your training as you refined the numerous stunts and tricks depicted in the awesome video presentations! A very special thank you to Jimmy and Jiliana , (the very first contest entry by their proud dad @Shoe73 ), @Chris West, @JesperF, @WeeJ, @Brian Thompson, and @Tobias Olsen for each of your talented videos! I only wish there were additional prizes to pass out as each of you deserve enormous credit! I will be speaking with @Jason McNeil today to coordinate issuing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes. Best wishes and congratulations again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Eucist Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 @Sidestreet Reny first of all congratulations to your win. I was watching your "slides" with the pedals on your KS and thought they were very original and absolutely amazing. However, wouldn't that wear down the pedals pretty quickly?

litewave Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Awesome job by all the contestants. I really enjoyed watching all the videos and even learned a thing or two I also very much APPRECIATE the very generous support of the sponsors and admins. Very impressive. I think what I enjoyed most was the range of diversity, the participation by adults and youths alike, and hope that the entire EUC community can help support more and larger contests in years to come. I also would love to see at least two divisions – one for young people, and one for adults – and maybe one for seniors in a following year. To fund it all, maybe Patreon, GoFundMe, or other crowdfunding site could help. So, great job everyone, and I hope we can widen the base of support!

Jason McNeil Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Toby & Reny have been awarded the prize money, Hiruste is mulling over the choice of a V5F+ or a V8. If only there was a deep laden benefactor who could offer a Manufacturer X-Prize, like what happened with the Commercial Space race ten years ago, where the total amount invested is many multiples of the jackpot—get the manufacturers to focus on the features which might matter most to the longevity & acceptance of Wheels in a regulated future. First manufacturer to offer significant component redundancy: MOSFET, MEMS sesnor, survivability of one or more battery cells Large capacity battery swapping that can be undertaken in under 20 seconds Ducted fan assisted cooling, control-system that is impervious to overheating Performance to failure margins that are at least 2x greater than anything that might be encountered in the Wheel World Datalogging directly on the control-board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehab1 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 When forum members cast their votes and congratulated the contest winners, we all enjoyed each of the 9 participating videos, every one standing out in its particular way. Many of us felt every single one deserved a prize . We have fortunately received an anonymous donation from a forum member feeling the same way and he would like to award a 4th prize in the amount of $50 each to Jimmy and Jiliana @Shoe73, @Chris West, @JesperF, @WeeJ, @Brian Thompson and @Tobias Olsen. @John Eucist sat in on the initial decision with the donor and we were both thrilled with his kind generosity! Please PM me with details on the best way to transfer the prize money. PayPal would be the optimal method as the donor has already deposited the funds into a PP account.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 What's up with all these crazy generous anonymous donors? Send some money my waaaaaaAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAYYY!!! Isn't there a most colourful wheel octinarary prize for us Flamebot owners (Too bad Rehabby you sold yours! No prize for you!) Seriously though talk about super nice people out there. It really outweighs the slight negatives that have popped up during the course of this contest. Too bad the donor(s) are anonymous... Makes me curious about who they might be... Gonna have to do some deep searches on Google! Someone give me a phone number to start my search! And just when you thought you lost in the competition you still win! Geez why can't my taxes be like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say your previous effort was pretty epic. Congrats to all 3 of the winners and all who entered the competition. There is a lot of EUC talent out there. As for me, my talent level tops out at being able to travel forward and breath at the same time. Your are all winners in my eyes. Keep up the mad skills.

Sorry @John Eucist Thanx for the luv, I am glad some people get it. Sometimes I wonder if folks even know what the hell is happening. So, about those pedals I haven't worn them down too much, amof the pedals far outlasted the the wheel itself! The pedals are still sitting there hanging from a dead 14b....taunting me. Anyway. I look for places that are smooth enough to slide/grind on and if necessary I will wax the edge just like when I session a spot on my skateboard. Marble is the holy grail, metal is second and the painted curb is cool too but usually needs the wax. No sharp edges!! Btw what are you riding?
