Photo Battle/Shoot Off/Firing Squad

I know people claim to like snowboarding and skateboarding because they are individual activities, blah, blah, but let’s face it: we humans love to compete. The reason I bring this is up is because of YoBeat’s weekly photo face off, which I thought we were calling Firing Squad but this week ended up being “photo battle.” I can’t take credit for this idea, in fact, Adryan was nice enough to suggest it, and Nick in turn, ran with it. But I told Nick and gave him the go ahead, so I will at least take a little credit.

As it turns out, it’s getting quite popular. We are in day 2 of this week’s battle between Jay Cagney and Ben Birk and there are over 200 votes already, a YoBeat record for sure!  Of course, it doesn’t hurt that both photographers have been posting on message boards encouraging people to vote, but we’ll take the traffic where we can get it. We’ve gotten a lot of traffic from thecomeupboard.com, which happens to be a BMX message board. Random.

So for the 12-15 people a day who view this site, if you haven’t already go vote!  It’s good practice for next month and almost as important.
