Amazing stuff, knowing how hard of a time I had with this shot I must say IG made it look easy.
Getting it done 2 times , within 2 days is super impressive.

I personally think IG is one of the best slingers on here.

Throws accurately and has a powerful shot.
His pumpkin video, his egg video, his hourglass and his bottle cap all show how good he is.

He’s a scary competitor if he gets to the international.

Candle.... I’m in I think , should be a pretty doable shot . Does it need to touch the wick or just blow it out .

Match lighting would be amazing with a strike anywhere match ,just grazing the head without breaking the match and getting it to light. That’s gotta be worth a gold star. I unfortunately can’t get strike anywhere matches in Australia and even then it’s probably outside my skill set , that’s a super fine accuracy shot , perhaps the hardest of all shots without pushing distances back.

Just getting a match to light would be cool enough, perhaps some more technical setups that slow you to strike the match on the box , who knows , but I got a feeling that with a little push IG could get it done.

Great stuff again IG
Your smashing these challenges

And technically the shot through the hole into the camera is basically a deathstar swish

These guys have gotten so good over the years. I can honestly.say I dont know who I think is the best anymore. Too many slingers so close to another in skill to decide anymore. When are we getting a video of the whip sling Zud? Cant wait man.

Posts: 575 Nottinghamshire, England Gender:	Re: **Unicorn Alert Reply #33 -** Mar 29^th, 2021 at 5:49am I was lucky enough to pick up a new (to me) laptop yesterday. It appears to have some sort of video maker in it. Only problem is it's an android camera phone and a Windows laptop. I have had some joy with blender so will keep plugging away at it. Cheers. Zud👍

If you want some help, I do most of my challenge videos in Blender. Render settings are a huge pain, but I can show you what works for me.

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

Posts: 2925 PA, USA	Re: **Unicorn Alert Reply #37 -** Mar 29^th, 2021 at 8:56pm That one looks to have been pretty easy after those other two! Excellent throw my man! Once I get to it, I'm going to have a heck of a time getting all these hits.

I don’t need to lie , the film is for dramatic effect. It took 23 attempts but yeah much easier than the bottle cap and the hourglass. The throw through the foot long pipe was crazy, I was thinking it wasn’t possible. Not sure how much of that was luck .
