First off, big props to everybody who entered. I think you guys all did a great job, and I recognize that it`s not easy to get off your ass and make a video either. Great showing!

I also recognize that some of these combos were very hard for the player to hit, but I felt I shouldn`t judge based on that. It may be real easy for Vasek to hit blurry whirl-ps whirl- mobius, but Sick 3 is about which is the best combo, not who tried the hardest or pushed themselves the most.

I voted for Kevin. Both pixie sets, and I`m a sucker for symple tricks, cause they`re superstyly. I actually laughed out loud when I saw the combo. That said, I hope Kevin heals up and moves up to Division 1 where he belongs.

If Kevin hadn`t entered, I probably would have voted for Cole. Both atomic sets is cool, and legbeater out of atom smasher isn`t that easy. As pointed out however, I thought his duck was pretty thin, which definitely hurt his chances.

I liked Seath`s hat thing, and I also noted that he used both pixie sets. But overall I thought the tricks and links were too easy for it to contend in Division 2.

Viktor`s combo was cool, but I thought his whirl could have been a lot deeper. Slow mo would have also been nice.

From what I heard, Rory`s combo was a very hard combo for him, so props to him. I also thought it was cool he used 3 different sets, and had steps on both sides. I just thought that Cole and Kevin`s combos were harder though.

Overall great job guys, and thanks to Cole for running this thing. Looking forward to the next batch. Remember though, since you are making this on video, and you have lots of time to hit your combo, there`s no excuse for not hitting the combos really clean.

Yeahhh, that made a lot of sense Ken.

"It may be real easy for Vasek to hit blurry whirl-ps whirl- mobius, but Sick 3 is about which is the best combo, not who tried the hardest or pushed themselves the most."

It's so obvious, but I totally was not thinking that way. I will for the next set though.

year i agree to jeremy! this whirl wasn´t really "sick" hehe....i´ve read about this contest very late, so i made this vid one day before the official start. obviously i was not really fit on these days, cause whirl is a very simple trick for me. afterwards i realized, that a pdx drifter would fit much better...perhabps next time.

the quality of my vid wasn´t very good, thats because i do my vids with a cheap foto-digi-cam with a video funktion....this cam is working witch only 12 pics a second, therefore a slowmo wouldn´t change anything, sorry...

i voted for cole hobson because i liked his atomic sets which are very clean...although his ducking osis wasn´t clean in my opinion...especially his duck.

all in all it was a nice and close competition :) i enjoyed it much and try to film another combo for the next time, btw congratz for your combo jeremy! very impressive....and nice of you that you supportet the viewer with different slowmos etc, i think just few of us would realize what you hit really without these slowmos hehe

I'm so stoked that Kevin won. I was rooting for him all the way.
I'm a huge fan of symple stuff and I thought he hit his combo clean and with nice style.

The biggest factor for me was orginality. Most of the tricks/combos that were hit I see all the time, very run of the mill.

I would vote for a moderately difficult, creative combo over blurry whirl>blurry whirs>ps whirl any day.

I'm a Kevin Regamey fan

edit: Oh yeah, I gotta give big props for the Cone head. If I hadn't voted for Kevin I'd have gone conehead fer shizzle
