We figured it was about time we manned up and got an account on here. You may or may not know about the Yobeat.com Firing Squad. It's basically a weekly photo competition where two photos are posted, people vote, one wins. We've been trying to step things up offering prizes from Dakine and having an actual editor (Tim Zimmerman), so battles are well matched. But now we really need people who know about photography to vote! So check out this week's battle and do so!

word...

i don't think either of these will win twice...did you guys run out of backpacks?

Ha. no we are not out of backpacks, but we are just posting the photos we receive. If we started it off with the very best photos we got, then it would just be the same photo for four weeks every time! This way, more people win gloves. Honestly, we are somewhat lacking in banger submissions, so if you've got one, send it in! submissions@yobeat.com

ic, that there makes good sense

these suck, not going to lie

Yeah so I have been slacking, but hopefully you guys don't need me to post on here EVERYTIME we have a battle. Anyway, this week is an important one as we've had some debate within the ranks about if "skate tricks" are cool enough to even be shot, much less winning battles. So we figured the only way to settle it was to post a skate photo against the skate-style snowboard photo and see which one comes out on top. so please weigh in by voting or you know, leaving your thoughts in the comments, and let us know.

You totally knew which one was gonna win

I know which one I think should win, but the internet is a funny place.

True

I like cagneys a lot better than "The challenger"..
