I don't know which one of Diving Mobius and Genesis is harder, but I think Diving Mobius is the coolest

. My vote goes to Tuukka

i REALLY wanted to vote for hideki, because his looked so awesome, and he looked so relieved when he hit it. But genesis and diving mobius are too sick, so that was an even harder decision. I ended up voting for Tuuka.

I voted for Tuukka's, as it combines difficulty, originality, and execution. Derek's was a hard move, but 1) it was impossible to tell if it was clean, and 2) the bag came off at a pretty wild angle from his foot. Hideki's was super clean and controlled, but not quite as hard as Tuukka's.

I voted for Tuukka but Hideki was a close second because I love seeing the incorporation of the inside surface.

Hideki's was awesome because it is not your standard Atomsmasher, but I didn't think the difficulty was there compared to the other two.

Maybe it was the lighting or the angle or a combination of the two, but Dereks whirl looked a bit fluffy.

Tuukka was straight up awesome. It wasn't a shuffle trick (which tend to get boring imo) and it had great difficulty and creativity in it's execution. From the description I assumed he was going to spin before the dive and it was refreshing to see the dive before the spin. It got my vote.

I agree, the genesis is hard to judge (but its the op side barraging that he hits fury with in his sick 3!).
My vote goes to Tuukka.

I also voted for Tuuka. I've never seen diving spinning before -- it's so cool. It was 100% CLEAN!! The slowmotion got him points, too -- that was SMOOTH!!! I wish I could see more footage of Tuuka. I also really dig that Derek used the flip furious, for Genesis, as Fury -- sick!

Tough decision indeed.
Dereks genesis : hmm, its a hard trick and i love triple dexes .
Of course i'm miles away from being an expert, i'm just not too sure
about the move's cleanliness/form

Diving mobius is truly fucking sick, and a pleasure to watch since
the move combines a variety of concepts ( diving, spinning, dexing...)
and Tuukka executes it very nicely.
Its probably stupid to think like that, but i expected a "newer" move, since
that one was also to be seen in the fabolous late nite jam, and thats
why i didnt vote straight away after watching.
But i made up my mind, form and variety overrule tripple dexing
and Tuukka gets my vote.
Nevertheless huge props to Derek aswell !!!

Do you think it's possible to hit that without a plant, Tuukka? Awesome move.

Shredster · Post by **Shredster** » 04 Jan 2005 09:47

When I saw the text "Diving Mobius", i assumed that it was a gyro diving torque or something like that...

But it was truly, diving mobius. Awesome!

Genesis is always cool, but i've never seen a diving mobius before.

Inside Atom Smasher Inside looks really clean and crisp too, but not enough to overcome Tuukka.

i think derek hit genesis flawlessly but I also think tuuka hit his trick flawlessly. They were both great.

If you hit inside predator INSIDE walkover, I will give you massive props and vote for you most likely unless someone comes up with something really big...

Inside predator would be super cool though

I'm sure you could do it.
