    @Pixels [video=youtube;XkAd265RcwY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkAd265RcwY&feature=player_embedded[/video] Really, I'm being rather pessimistic and it's dragging me down. I sound obnoxious when i say I lose. So I'll just say good luck. Anyways! People vote and give criticism! EDIT: IGNORE ONE OF THE VOTES FOR ME! I ACCIDENTALLY VOTED FOR MYSELF. SERIOUSLY, WTH, STUPID COMPUTER. FAIL. This makes me look like such a narcissist. Score as of now would be 14/17 in Pixels favor. not 15.

    Haha, all right. And really? It's been the same for the last three videos - the angle at least. [Though it might vary slightly from each video.] Well, I have no idea if you did or not, but I THINK you did. But I have no idea why you don't see it haha.

    I prefer Dris's angle and cam quality and the combo was decent. Pixel's combo seemed pretty fast and crazy but the camera was a bit too far away and I couldn't really see everything in great detail not to mention the cam quality could be better.. (I'm a hypocrite) Anyways +1 Dris for being more comfortable to watch lol :D

    I like Dris's style and angle mucho. Very appealing to watch. Pixel did a good job being smooth , but it was just really fast and i didn't like the angle...so +1 Dris

    if you see carefully at pixels combo you'll see a higher difficulty in it. And it is much smoother. appealing will be going to Dris. You just need to be smoother and work on your linkages to make your combo good. Anyway good job To both of you. Mah vote goes to pixels

    Whoa Dris, when i saw your first battle, i was meh... but im like holy shit he's good now (: Really nice improvement. Work on style though (: And you're aiming for slow spinning? Nice job. But i still voted for Pixels cause of his difficulty level which is higher and he had more links.

    Haha, thanks for the feedback! Yeah, comparatively, my style has been starting to develop a lot recently. I hope to get a good medium speed spin style or whatnot. I donno what to call it. We'll see how far I can get. =]

    no i look at his mod as well, it looks a lot like a springfield sc o.o with a clip lol

    I'd say my vote goes for Pixels. His combo was a little... sexier. Yeah. I know I'm not helpful.

    I think this is actually true of some pen spinners or at least, if they don't look only at the finish tricks, it has a majorly inbalanced affect on they view the entire combo.

    Since you are right-handed, then put your camera to the left. I tape my camera to the wall LOL. I don't have tripod either. I just have one angle and think it looks pretty good. It depends I think. Idk if the angle will suit your style. SO try to tape your camera using duct tape. If you have question then ask me. I'll take a picture of my "unipod" :]

    @Pixels What I did was tape my iPod to something that was to the right of me and angled it downwards slightly using a notecard lol. Yeah, I know, I need a tripod. And despite all that, look at that. You're still winning. =P

    Abyss wrote: no i look at his mod as well, it looks a lot like a springfield sc o.o with a clip lol
    And it is kind of like a Springfield sc replica lol. But the cap is a RSVP, I don't think he uses an RSVP.

    @Dris You asked for some constructive critique, so... Try to have the camera a little further away if you're filming tricks that are likely to go off camera. Practice the combo a little more to increase the smoothness and learn some harder tricks.

    Thanks for taking the time to give feedback! And yeah, camera I'll try to move it back a little, we'll see how that goes next time i film. And I will try to practice more, but it's not like I can't do it perfectly off camera. That was just my BEST on film take. =______= And I shall work on learning harder tricks. Thanks!

    I don't think that many more people with votes. Really, this is way more votes than I already thought would be. I think Pixels might just win here. With the gap widening. I think he wins.

    I really feel that you should win... I didn't really put much effort in this combo and furthermore u have better linkages and smoother spinning ...

    Haha, not really. I didn't put that much into it either. It was kind of spammy and it was a FS. And if you look closely at yours, you have some pretty nice links and yours is fast AND smooth. Maybe not to the point you want it to be, but nonetheless, it IS smooth to some degree.
