It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we present you with your next CHALLENGE. Yes, a challenge. To even stand a chance in this next competition, we are raising the bar....um....Or the Jump, Car, Bench, Sibblings.....It's GO TIME!
SlapMaFro has been a HEAVY supporter of the HPISF family and the hobby itself commercially for 5 years. In honor of their hard work and dedication over the years, this time a themed challenge.
Somtimes, forums can be a host to numerous "fish stories" from bashers.
"I jumped my pool, house, and back yard at once."
Well, we want that video. But, we don't want a simple one jump wonder! Anyone can take their truck and jump it off a 40 foot cliff for "cred." Well, then usually a lot of banter follows, lol. We want to see a compiliation of your bashing skills. We want the Extreme Bashing, not a simple jump. I want to see you clear your mama's minivan. Heck, throw in a back flip in the process. Make it interesting.
During your vid, you can have some knick knack stunts and follies. BUT, after the appetizers, we want the MAIN COURSE!
Take a good look at the collection SlapMaFro has on their site here:
http://slapmafro.com/videos.htm
These vids should be at the MINIMUM 3 minutes in length.
- Why? -We want some effort, for you to go all out. This of a certain Monster Truck driver who sports the green and black. You want THE crowd pleaser, the Pièce de résistance.
- What's in it for me? -Bragging rights! That's what this hobby is all about, get your rear in gear. Get out there and chase the dogs! Numerous prizes will be released as the contest gets closer and closer to the deadline.
- Can I participate? -Anyone, any truck, at any location may participate. You MUST be a member of this forum, that's it. Next time you go out bashing, just bring the camera and do your thing.
- Why aren't there contests more often? -We don't like running a million contests a year. We thought about doing these monthly before, but would rather have bigger prizes than just a tank guard every month. We want to give you something you'll enjoy, or have some pride in.
- How much time do we have? -This contest will run until November 18th at 12 noon. For those of y'all going to the Digger's Dungeon for the Halloween Bash, take that camera. See if you can get a pass over a real monster truck, lol. Tell Dennis and the Crew that Chunky Monkey sent you on a challenge! I'll even add a bonus vote(my vote to the video that has some sort of signage that states "Chunky Monkey dared me to!" when your doing some sort of extreme bashing at the Event as part of your submission.
Pending on the number of submissions, which y'all always provide us with plenty, the HPISF Admin will narrow it down to the Finalists. Then, those Finalists will be thrown to the wolves. The members will have the final say in who the overall winner is.
Remember, BIGGER, BETTER, HIGHER, LONGER. Bring on the carnage, we want you to unleash the psychotic basher in you!
So let's see what you got. Stay tuned, prizes will be announced shortly.
Make SlapMaFro proud!
