Stickers and Slings for Articles
Nov 4th, 2004 at 12:11pm
 
In an effort to boost the comprehensiveness of the site, tap into the amazing number of intelligent people on the forum, and involve people in the process, slinging.org will be giving away free stickers and slings for written contributions. 

Specifically, you will need to produce a well written article on a new topic (or new spin at least).  It should be no less than 300 words, but there are always exceptions, so email me if you are concerned.  Pictures are great.  These articles can be on any sling-related topic.  Let me know what you’re writing about ahead of time though.  To give you some ideas, it could be reviewing some historical aspect of the sling, a modern group that uses the sling, how to use a sling, how to make projectiles, how to make a sling, different kinds of slings, sling-related archeological sites, sling-related battles.... you name it.  In return you’ll get a limited edition slinging.org ‘Slinging Rocks!” sticker, seen below, or a sling.  Your choice. 

This is a great opportunity to contribute to the site and to the limited information about the sling.  You might not realize it, but the articles on this site have helped thousands of people.  Just last month, October, 519 people read my article on how to make a sling.  That’s 17+ people a day, which is pretty significant if you consider the number of people interested in slings.  471 read Dan Bollinger's article on how to make a braided sling.  381 read David Taylor's “Slinging styles”.  300 read “Slinging advice for beginners” by Bill Blohm.  The list goes on and on and on.  These articles are vital to new people coming to the sport, and you can have your name on one of them.

This is such a great idea (and I acknowledge SnapCut's earlier post), but it's true.  Everybody wins here.  And those are excellent stickers, as has been said.  Total attitude. Smiley

Gun, if you think you can produce a lengthy enough article on the subject, then by all means.  There is a definite lack of projectile-related articles on the site. 

WildAtHeart, double dipping aye?  Yes, you can get one.  But it better be good!  Smiley  Or, if you really want to get on my good side, knock out another article while you're at it.  The stickers are big, 9" x 3" i believe.  Color, glossy, and waterproof.

Thori, any topics you feel you could contribute?

I am thinking, I want to contribute, I want to take part......

But I am not very experienced when it come to writing articles.

I promise to give it my best shot, for you, Chris!

I am gathering information and in the process of writting an article.  The title of the article is to be:

"If Pete Sampras used the sling: movement analysis and comparison between the serve in tennis and the overhead slinging style"

What do you think of that?

It may take a while,  I need to sharpen my computer knowledge for this.

Great!  See if you can get him to try one while you are at it.  I'm sure he would like to  have a new application for his talent.

talent:
an ability expressed by the Metaconscious mind, comprising mastery by the Self. With further study and practice, this ability becomes anchored in the Superconscious mind, where it can directly express the ensouling entity. This deeper development of ability is referred to as a gift, genius, a spiritual power or siddhi.

Is there a time limit like the last special you did chris? It will proably take me a month to complete the whole article because i am still doing some tests, buy more golf balls, and ordering my new digital cameria! And do we get both a sling and a sticker?

Gun, great.  Looking forward to it.
