And the winner of the Freddy Battle is… DJ Adex! He had the best overall demo of this unique skratch combo, although there were some great other entries as well. Since these winning entries are linked to from the official Lesson Page, it's really important that we can see what both hands are doing. Congrats to Adex, be sure to check out his video from the Freddy Skratch lesson page in Level 2!
Here's a tip: be sure to record your video at an angle that shows both your record and fader hands so we can see everything you're doing. Students are going to be studying all these videos forever so we want to make it as easy for them as possible.
Next Battle: The Stewie Skratch - Deadline to submit is Monday, June 23!
We have also uploaded an official Stevie Skratch lesson in Level 2, find it in the curriculum:

More about the Next Battle in a minute, but first…
The Battle was fought long and hard, but a winner there must be. And so it was bestowed unto DJ Hypnotize, who most impressed Q with his unique slice variations. One of the original Honor Roll Students of QSU, this marks the HZA’s third battle win (he also won the Tear Battle and the Combo Battle). So congrats to DJ Hypnotize, he'll be getting a Gold Beedle Record in the mail from Qbert and his video is now linked up with the official Slice Lesson here for students to study forever. He also uploaded his winning entry to YouTube so check it out if you're not a member and reading this. Honorable mentions go out to ADA (me) and POTB (aka Pekoe), who also placed high in the Slice Battle.
Next Up: The Joe Cooley Battle
***Deadline to submit is Monday, April 14th***
Now, back by popular demand, it's the latest QSU Battle: The Slice
This underrated Level 1 Skratch Technique is really easy to learn and is a great addition to your skratch vocabulary. Q wants to see who can incorporate it best in your flow - you can mix it up but he wants to see at least 90% Slice skratches in there. You have 3 weeks to enter, the deadline to submit your video to the "Battle" category is March 10. The winner will receive a cool surprise prize, and the winning video will live forever in the official Slice Lesson.
Note: Please limit your battle entries to 1 minute!
