I'm with you man. This thread has not only kept my interest, but has been a great help to keep me practicing.
I would also like to see more participation. I thought the indoor challenges had a chance to do that, but didn't seem to. That was basically a 'create your own challenge' event. Although admittedly I had a good time with it and posted a bunch of things in a pretty short span of time. There was also NOC's trash sling challenge (not in this thread specifically, but I think it counts), which had a prize. But only a few entries were posted by the end.
I think there's a lot of reasons why folks aren't able or don't want to participate. But if anyone is willing to share their own reason, I would be interested to hear. Is it available time, video recording capability, lack of interest in crazy chance hits (like hitting a coin out of the air
)...
