Isn't it called freehand?

That is an alternate name for it. But in "yoyo terms" and in competitions, it is referred as 5A.

so i've got a question. does the video need to be an instructional video on how to do a trick, or can it be a music video with a bunch of tricks?

The requirements: - 30 second video - sign at the beginning - yoyo tricks - have a tip for at least one trick in the text - make it clear which trick the tip is for So you can go either way.

Nice. Unfortunately, I think I might be doing split the atom for the contest.... I just need to find my yo-yo string and buy a better yo-yo. All I have is the AXLE elite ($39.99), The CrossFire ($19.99), and the very crappy Fire Ball ($8.00.) However that titanium yo-yo looks cool... I hope I win, but compared to you, I'm not sure if I have a very good chance.
You are very good, my friend, and I also hope YOU win, if I don't.
