Perhaps you noticed we were running a little reader’s poll/Airblaster goodies giveaway on the site. Perhaps you’ve even taken the survey and entered to win. Some as you must have, since we got over 650 responses in a week. Now we’re no fools, we know you all just wanted the free stuff (and/or were bored) but we really appreciate your feedback and hope to use it to make YoBeat a better site as well as lining our pockets with stacks and stacks of fat cash from advertisers who will certainly now realize what we’ve already know: Our readers frickin’ rule. Unfortunately we only have one Airblaster kit to giveaway and the 10K  Freedom Pants and Jacket and Ninja suit are on the way to….

For the rest of you, we figured we could at least post all the data we collected with some of our expert analysis for good measure. So here goes:

It’s entirely possible that these numbers may be skewed as the prize in question was guys stuff and as a girl, I can tell you the ninja suit with a fly tends to get a bit bunchy for my needs. But let’s be honest, judging by most ski towns, that ratio looks about right.

This was really great information, as all this time we’ve been trying to keep it semi-appropriate for the kids. Well fucking shit damn, no way in hell we’re doing that anymore!

We like to think someone who doesn’t snowboard at all would want to read YoBeat for its pure wit and hilarity, but I guess we can stop holding on to that dream after all. Also, most of you are probably way better than we are. Crap.

This is another graph we feel may have a margin of error. It can be hard to admit to your friends and family that you are t-shirt and mittens guy. We know more of you must rock that steeze, at least in the spring.

We are in the Pacific Northwest and it’s awesome here. But apparently people from the rest of the country/world out number us overall, so we’ll do our best to keep things not-so-Portland centric. No promises.

You know how we mentioned lining our pockets earlier? Well, advertisers want to buy into us because you are buying into them. So this self-serving question proved that yes, most of you do in fact go out and purchase snowboards. Keep it up!

Another self-serving question. We know that “price” or “performance” might also/mainly be reasons you buy things. But we sure did like how this one turned out! Go Internet!

Does anyone else see the irony that most of you “read” Yobeat for the videos. Well it’s certainly not lost on us.

So you guys don’t really care about the Flying Tomato or the X Games. That’s good, neither do we.

It’s a shame for wakeboarding that you couldn’t select multiple options on this one, totally why it lost out to fishing. But this is cool. It seems like if we post the occasional skate edit, you guys won’t be mad, and that’s good to know.

So Johnny, we hope you enjoy the coveted gear and if you didn’t win, we’ll probably come up with more goodies to giveaway through out the season, so keep checking back. Thanks for reading!
