As I eagerly await to unveil my contest. I wanted to let you in on a few things before the fun.
1st: The contest will be called “the Dash to 50”. This represents the ‘dash to 50’ likes on facebook! It won’t be necessary to like my page in order to enter the contest, but likeing it will help more people see it. People seeing it means more people carrying yoyos in style. More flaunting of yoyos in style, the more publicity yoyos get. The more publicity, the more yoyoers to have fun with! So it is for the greater good ;D
2nd: The Prize! will be awesome! But it’s a surprise, so check back regularly!
3rd: I’d like this contest to be HUGE! Meaning I need YOU to tell people about it! The more the merrier they always say!
4th: the contests eta (estimated time of arrival) is Thursday. But I can’t promise anything, could be sooner. Could be later.
5th. If you’re wondering why I haven’t already started the contest here’s the answer. I’m waiting on a special package in the mail. This package holds items vital for the prize! This is almost a good thing though! it allows time to
A. Spread the word
and
B. Mentally prepare for all the AWESOME!
6th: Last, but certainly not least: Abby1371 is going to be a judge in this contest! She’s been a big help thus far and this contest would definitely not be as fun without her help organizing. I’d like to thank her publicly to show you… she’s awesome! Thanks Abby!
good for both 2a and 4a, eh? I think That’s doable. I’ll consider it.
A long while back someone asked if I could make them one. I did, but I believe he never got back to me when it came time to pay. I don’t remember the person (sorry person). There message just got so old I deleted it. (But to that person, I forgive you :D)
I just thought it was too predictable. But whatever, it’s not like I have anything against his holsters, I’ve already bought 2 and will be getting another one soon…
If I may say something about a holster holding two or more YoYo’s.
I had a very nice holster made once by a friend that held two YoYo’s, and I found that the length and the weight of two YoYo’s hanging from my belt loop made it pretty much unusable. I found it more optimal to just use two holsters to hold two YoYo’s. The length and weight was to much, and I found I was banging it into everything when I moved which could have potentially damaged my throws. :’(
Maybe there is a way to design it so that does not occur, but I could not figure out how myself.
While I do feel that it’s a great concept, you’ll unfortunately find that in reality it’s not very practical.
To prevent the banging against things and weigh distribution you can design it so it has two clips. One on the top, one on the bottom. So that was it can clip to two belt loops and lay/hang horizontally off your pants rather than vertically. Extra support, and that should even put the weight and keep the yoyos closer to your body. Just a thought, it may not work, but it may be worth a shot to test it out.
