Is Penske`s blazing barfly clean?

There`s been some discussion lately about whether or not this trick is executed cleanly here:

I haven`t been able to see it yet, but thought I`d put up a poll for those who have seen it. Obviously, don`t vote unless you have seen it.

The set was really nice and the double down was there, he was just a little high relative to the bag. Had he been a little lower while doing the exact same dex it would have been VERY clean as opposed to kinda clean.

IT CAN PLAY ANY THING .

The double down:

Edit: Here is my best attempt to highlight the bag. The second and third frames are a little rough, but I think it is good other than that. Oh, and Ken if you want a sandwich, you have to come here to pick it up; otherwise, I'm eating it.

Can you highlight the bag?

I`m hungry. Could you make me a sandwich?

Looked like the 2nd dex was slightly above bag but I would call it clean.

I would say that the double down is "the". Its a really nice set though

Second one is "the". We must be fair and admit it.

But I am sure he already sealed it!

'The'

It looks 'the' to me, but it could've been the angle of the camera.

If you can look at this double down frame by frame and you still can't call it clean without a doubt, it's the. People are just cutting him slack bacause it's a dope move.

The move looks the to me. Not just the dexes but the butter at the end. When I watch it frame by frame the bag looks like it delays on his foot when it is directly behind his support / dexing leg making the butter pulled which I think is almost as bad as missing a dex.

Simply put, circling the bag with only your big toe doesn't count. Just barely getting a tiny corner of your foot around the bag is hardly a good standard of clean, for any of us, if "clean" is really going to mean much at all.

Its about as clean as C-Fan's slurry sets

jk.

Dear Wicked,

While you are back in the year 2000, could you do me a favor? Please tell Florida not to vote for Nader. Thanks so much.

See you in the present,
Ken Somolinos

Time for a controversial post! YAY!

Ok..

This is obviously the, but you know, this topic bugs me a bit. Its a good thing that Jim doesn't check these forums out, because if it was me, personally, I'd be embarrased and insulted to have an entire topic about just how one of my moves would be 'the'. Who REALLY cares? Does it matter that much? Not enough to have its own topic, IMO.

Maybe just PM Eli and ask him to take it off the site? E-mail Jim about it and ask his opinion? Because honestly.. it's like calling all of your friends and saying:

(Picks up phone) "Hello?"
"Yeah man, your move is THE on this video"
"Gee, thanks."

It's just a lack of courtesy.

Personally I thought it was good enough, which- if you know me- is not my usual tune to whistle. I guess "good enough" for me wasn't up to the standards of the neo-enlightened modified crowd (no offense to those of you who have been around a long time, and have known how to call cleanliness for a long time, and have been surfing modified for a long time). I probably should have checked with Penske personally before posting the move on my site, but I honestly thought it was a very well executed move, even if he swung that battle axe just a little too loose. The timing is there, which to me is the most important thing, as long as you know how to dex, which Jim obviously does. So in other words, I think most of you are obsessing and should shut the hell up.

Regards,
Ellis

p.s. Props to Ken for handling an insult in a way far superior to any other insult recipient in the history of the world.

p.p.s. Forgive my lack of vocab. I'm too tired to think.

p.p.p.s. Y'all might want to look at http://www.flipsider.com/hub/ - entertainment is your reward.
