2011 Firing Squad Champions Battle: Snow!

By • Jan 18th, 2011 • Category: 2011 Champions Battle, Latest, Photo Battle

Welcome to week two of four of the 2011 Firing Squad Champions Battle. Over the past 12 months, eight photos have survived the drama, trash talk and voting gauntlet to become champions. Now they will once again do battle to crown the 2011 Ultimate Firing Squad Champion. The winner of this four-week battle royale will receive the grand prize: a session at the High Cascade Photo Workshop at Mt. Hood (August 5-10) and a GoPro® HD Helmet HERO™ Camera. This week, there will be two winners. The photo with the most votes will receive a bonus $150 gift certificate, good for anything at Buysnow.com, but the top two photos will continue on to the final two-week battle against the top skate photo from last week’s battle. We’ve already determined these photos are good, now it’s just a matter of deciding which is the best. You hold the power, so vote!

  13. I like to think of the back-and-forth that I have with Mike less like actual hate, and more like the “hate” between Australia and New Zealand… I don’t actually know him so I can’t “hate” the guy… but I can make fun of him for thinking that New York is actually a cool place to be a pro shred-o-graphic designer or whatever the hell you would call what he does with his time

  14. hahah you know what jimbo, you’re growin on me. that is a good point. however i wish i could actually graphic design. i just draw crap, scan it, and put it on a shirt. im also moving to vermont, so im either going to be way less cool now, or somehow get even cooler than i already am.

    Id like to know more about you as well, so i can either completely hate you, or think youre kinda cool for talking so much shit.

    maybe yobeat will moderate a good ol’ fashioned man to man between us??

  15. Sparring match? That could be a fun time. I’ll work on my Krav Maga moves and you work on your best dirty-city street fightin’ moves. We can meet up this summer at hood and have a YoBeat Present’s: Upstate Mike vs Jimbo.

  22. Thanks for these tips. One thing I should also believe is credit cards offering a 0% interest often appeal to consumers in with zero rate of interest, instant authorization and easy on-line balance transfers, but beware of the most recognized factor that will certainly void the 0% easy streets annual percentage rate and also throw you out into the poor house quick.aiyi9527$$$$$
