What a wild Expo experience it was! From the bumping subs of the Beastie Boys homebrew to the blinged out games and mods featured in Star Wars Fall of the Empire, Lord of the Rings, and Godzilla machines; thank you to all of you that played a part in making this year’s Expo such an incredible experience!
A very special thanks goes out to all the crazy pinballers that joined us for our first-ever “For the Flip of It” tournament!
For 3 full days, you grinded and fought your way through a gauntlet of matches narrowing it down to a final few who earned the right to battle for a slew of prizes. Including our top two winners, Tim and Lex, who both went home with our latest NBA Fast Break topper!
We kicked things off with a special “pinfluencer” match featuring Jared and Joel Engleberth versus Jamie Burchell and Retro Ralph in a split flipper head-to-head battle. While the Brothers Engelberth brought home the W, it was the hugging brotherly love of Jamie and Ralph that truly warmed people’s hearts! The official finals matches were kicked off (and narrated!) by the full Pinball Roundtable crew (with Cale Hernandez joining in after the head-t0-head snub) whose infectious enthusiasm and hilarious color commentary took things to another level. Huge thanks to all the help the pinball community provided in making this an awesome event, and dare we say…success?!
Finally, we want to give a special shoutout to our friends and sponsors Mad Pinball, Atomic Pinball Arcade, Stellar Pinball, and Stumblor Pinball for contributing to our booth experience. We had a blast working with you and look forward to continuing the tradition for years to come!
