Topic: New Contest: Practical Parkour Video

[ZacharyCohn]

Advertise in person, advertise online! Are you part of any other online community? Are any of your friends? Ask them!

When I said that, I meant that a lot of people around the place I live don't take kids seriously. I would advertise it at school, but everyone that would even come close to listening to me, I've already told. The guys in my school are harsh when it comes to helping other people. I'm one of the worst guys on my football team, so I'm overall unpopular. I'll try more on Monday though. And no, I've already done all I can on myspace.

Chill out, boy... it's just for fun. I look it as a way to test your creativity and whether you know how to apply parkour in real life situations.

And that's what it should be...besides the free advertisement for APK.  lol

[claire]

oh well. since i made it ill put it up, even if not eligible for some apk stuff.. tel me what you think then.

[ZacharyCohn]

When did you submit it? If it was after Friday at 11:59pm EST... then it was too late! Sorry.

Put it up anyway, and post a link here. I'd love to see it!

[claire]

i did put it up a day late. my hardrive crashed, earlier that week.. so it was in repairs to get the files back 

oh well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrwnsV1KaAo&feature=channel_page

[dave.g.1942]

I just watched her video.  That's one of the better ones in the competition.  That really sucks it didn't get in on time; it would have made it pretty far.

[Gregg]

Yep. That's a good one, Claire. Thanks for sharing it!

[Adam McC]

I agree! More Parkour than most videos. Only thing is it's well over 20 seconds, so I'm not sure exactly if APK would have accepted that time. Another video was disqualified because it was like 33 seconds, among other reasons.

[Xeno Gonzalez]

what if none of the videos makes it past 5,000 views ?

[ZacharyCohn]

Prizes are still awarded for the leading videos, it's just that any video that doesn't place at the top, but still has 5k+ views, wins t-shirts too.

[Urban Monkey]

So the contest is ending Saturday...and the only two people with 5000+ views are the 1st and 2nd place winners.  Would you guys consider lowering the amount of views in which T-shirts will be awarded?

God bless,
Daniel "Urban Monkey" Austell

[Adam McC]

Like um... *checks his own views* ... 2,000?

[Juxta]

Or next time base the winner on highest rating. That way people don't search for other PK boards just to post their video, have board members see it and (possibly) judge it as not very impressive and then get stuck with having that view added to the person's video.
