speaking of 4 dexes, doesnt flipsider say that sunil hit like 16 before anyone else hit more then 1. can anyone tell me the 16 quad dexes sunil hit? i can name some: nemisis, arch nemisis, clownface. these are the ones im sure are part of the 16, but other 4's did he hit? ive never even seen him shoot.

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 10 Oct 2004 17:57

David, i dont think clownface was "before." That move was still relatively recently hit. I know shooting star was hit waay before sunil hit clownface. Also, Tuan Vu and Eric Wulff had hit shooting stuff like ss dlo or op dlo before Sunil hit the clownface. As for Sunil's 16. . . .I have know Idea.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 10 Oct 2004 18:48

Sunil wasn't the first person to hit a 4 dex. I think Tuan Vu was the first. Sunil had hit 16 or 17 before anyone else had hit 2.

But there are plenty of 4 dexes:

Shooting ss da da curve, shooting op da da curve - both sides
shooting ss dlo, shooting op dlo - both sides

That's 8 unique 4 dexes and Sunil is very both sided...

Red Shred Husted hit the first ever 4 Dex trick, the Shooting Star (Shooting Down Double Down). I was the first one to witness this (other than Red), and the honor of reporting the advent of this next level of freestyle fell to me. I promptly notified the old e-mail forum. If anyone had hit a quad before that it was far from common knowledge and I would have serious doubts about its veracity.

Funny story about all this really. I'd been freestyling with Genz and Rippin in Colorado for about five years when all of a sudden Ellis moves to Boulder from Texas. A few months later, Red Shred joins us from Cali, and the Colorado shred scene has entered a whole new phase. A few more months pass and Dave Holton, who'd been up in Aspen and coming down to spank us all from time to time decides to join us full time in Boulder, and him, Red, and I all rent a house together. Ellis was supposed to be in on this too, but he found some other place he liked up in the mountains on the edge of town. Brian McKenzie comes out to spend the summer with us in our new place (Summer '99) and the scene in Boulder has never been better (at least, not in all the time that I'd been there.) We even started talking about hosting a comp (the first Colorado Shred Symposium; you may have heard of it). But all of a sudden Red just stops kicking. I'm not totally sure why, but he just kind of quit. He started juggling alot, and I was afraid he'd burn our house down with his new torches. Dave and I were like WTF, cause we'd only gotten into this new house, like, a month before, and we'd all just gone to Worlds, and there was so much shred going on (though, like an idiot, I spent way too much time working all my stupid jobs and didn't have as much free time to shred as everyone else in town. I missed way too many epic jams at Rippin's place for the sake of minimum wage. What was I thinking?) But, okay, whatever. Dave and I still jammed good in our basement and garage, and on CU campus with Genzu, Rippin, Brad Kaplan, Dave Leberknight, Paul Mestes, and some others. But in the midst of all this Red was taking time off. Dave and I trained hard for Shred Symposium in that house (we took 4th and 5th places respectively, just behind Mulroney, Rippin, and Davidson, the top three in the world that year), and still Red wouldn't kick. More than a dozen top shredders spent a long weekend crashing at our shred house, jamming in our basement till 4 A.M., and still Red didn't kick. We try to capitalize on the exposure we got from the CSS and kick alot with at least half-a-dozen newbies from the area, and Red is still not kicking. Months pass, and one night I ride my bike home to find Red sweating hard, and he says "Come downstairs, I want you to tell me if this is clean." Red busts about a dozen shooting down doubles for me, and while not all were clean, more than enough of them were to confirm the first Quadruple Dexterity trick had finally been hit. And that Mother F@#%er hadn't even been playing for way more than half a year! Once again, I was like WTF. There was a meteor shower going on that night (probably the Eta Aquarids in early May, or maybe the Lyrids in late April), and I'd had my eyes out for them while riding home (we were on the edge of town, so we had decent viewing in our neighborhood), so I suggested the obvious name for the trick. Anyway, after that a number of other Shooting quads were soon racked up by various other luminaries of the sport. I remember Genzu started working shooting dlo soon after Red's achievement.
Anyway, thanks for the opportunity to reminisce a little. Those were good times, and I really miss that basement (you can see it in all its glory, and also in the raw in "The California Connection", which, by the way, was edited in large part in that very basement, along with some other early works of Mr. Piltz, such as "Reese's Pieces: Worlds '99 and Churney & Friends"), and having so many cool people sleeping and shredding there.

That as a very entertaining post, Mr. Schneider. Thanks much.

That was a good morning read! Thanks Jon!

Johnny Boy. I think it's pretty funny that you included Dave Leberknight and myself who showed up maybe a handful of times, yet you totally forgot Ernest Cervich who was there all the time (except of course when he was out of the country and had you stockpiling copies of "The Onion" for him

.

But, yeah that was a hot time for Colorado Shred. Running head to head with the massive styles going on in San Fran. Dave's 30+ tripless combos along with hitting the first 2 undisputable 7's with Gauntlet and Symposium Whirlygig and of course "Shred Red" Husted busting Shooting Star and everything else unholy opened up a massive gateway for the shred community. Let's not forget Sunil, Chad, Eric Wulff, Ahren etc... stiring up crazy Furious, Surging, Leaning, and Atomic set moves to really give CO a run for it's money.

That was a time much like now (only I'd say it's happening in Europe)... when new (r)evolutions in the sport are causing players to truly realize the seemingly limitless potential of this sport. Once upon a time the talk was "when and if" a 4 dex would be hit. Now we're looking at over a dozen of them and talking about 5 and 6 dex possiblities.

This is again a truly amazing time for this sport and I hope everyone out there is aware of the part they are taking in it.
