Did you watch all the videos? See Roto Grip man? Way awesomely shot and edited.. but i guess they weren't judging that kind of stuff...

Maybe because he never actually threw the Cell, which was a requirement for the vid?

You had to throw the cell? I thought the concept of the contest was to feature the Cell in a "creative" manner. If throwing the Cell was a major deciding factor than

The only rule was to have a CELL in the video. The rest was left up to everybody's imagination.Just have fun and run with it.
The judging was probably the same. No criteria, just choose your favorite based on whatever reason they happened to like that certain video.

Well we purchased a cell off the internet just for the video, but when our shoot date came up, the cell still didn't arrive so we had to go with plan b which was having a crazy man offer an undrilled cell (borrowed from the pro shop) as a prize and rolling the RSX instead.
the final product turned out really funny for us, but i guess that doesn't really mean much! we got the cell a few days after the shoot, but man oh man would having that strike cell be something else! oh well, we put our best effort into the video but came up short, no regrets...
we got a lot of views and ratings on youtube so we're thinking of making a sequel of emilio beating parker bohn with the cell haha
thanks again for the contest and we look forward to receiving the cool tee and bag.
