nice tricks by all 
- chris' toe reverse whirling rev whirl was very stylish
- kevin's trick was sick! (three dex with one leg )
- anssi's was well executed and a phat trick
- Takumi trick was very stylish and huge, really like the combination of components
- bryin's trick was very nice as well, reverse torques are so sweet
but in the end I voted for jorden cause sym torque is just so hard and he put a sym set in front of it

Big props to everyone that entered!
I want to appologize to Cod!
He submitted both a sick 1 and 3 but I was unable to open his video with my editing software. I tried for an hour to download a program that would read his file and convert it into a wmv or something else usefull but nothing would do it. Something about "PAL".
All the tricks were HUGE!
In the end I gave my vote to style Wylie. I love his big stylish tricks.
He executes it SO perfectly and the end result is so great and fluent.
Props!

Thanks for the shout out. Jon
Chris: I thought it was thin at first, but upon further review, it's totally there. Toe reverse whirling is sweet.
Jesse: I had to watch it like 4 times to believe you even had a bag. I can only see it when you first set it up. Good trick though. I can't tell how clean it was, because..well, I can't see the bag. Even on slow-mo.
Jorden: WORD.
The bag went straight up and down, simply fantastic.
James: Clean! But unfortunately, a little too "normal" for what people are probably looking for in this competition.
Kevin: You fucking hack, go home.
Anssi: Your long hair makes for epic ducking tricks. It moves so fluidly and looks so awesome. It's like I'm watching a shampoo commercial. As far as the trick goes, I can't really tell if it's clean due to the camera angle...but based on your track record, I can hazard to say that it probably is.
Takumi: What is Takumi's last name? Tom and I couldn't find it anywhere. The trick looks pretty good, I think it could've been a bit cleaner...super ankles though. (What is "The Beautiful Game"?)
Byrin: Yeah boy! Alberta represent! That looked splendid and effortless. Since when can you Flux?

Hey Mosher, I heard that you failed grade school. Is this true?

Takumi Ozawa. But it`s not written with the Chinese characters you`d normally expect.

"The Beautiful Game" is soccer.

Damn, this was a very hard comp to call. Very big props on everybody for submitting such huge tricks!
Chris May: Toe reverse whirling reverse whirl
The good: Super original. I had never seen this set before, and I thought it was real fresh. In Sick One, originality goes a long way. In theory, I think toe reverse-whirling reverse whirl is a great trick.
The bad: The main problem with this move, is that the downtime reverse whirl is "the." The set was totally clean though. Also, while the trick is very original, I don`t feel the originality of it would beat out the straight up difficulty of some of the competition.
Overall: Cool set. I also appreciate the originality. I look forward to seeing future entries... hell, even just a random vid in your blog showcasing what you can do with that set would be cool.
Jesse Malouf: Jackknife
The good: It`s a cool trick, and your form looks pretty good.
The bad: As Kevin pointed out: it`s impossible to see the bag, even on slow-mo. If you could get a bit more light on you next time you submit, that`d be awesome.
Overall: This was my first time seeing vid of you, and I was impressed. Just try and shoot in better light.
Jorden Moir: Full Symposium Spinal Tap
The good: I had never seen this trick before, so that automatically nets you points. Also, the combination of difficult set+difficult downtime component is also a winner.
The bad: A good SickOne judge does not consider the potential of the player. He only evaluates which trick hit in the competition was the sickest. That said, I was still a bit surprised you chose this trick to enter, as opposed to say, levitating butterfly or blurriest swirl. Then again, maybe they are all so easy for you, that it`s hard to pick.
Overall: Thanks for showing me a new trick. Inspiring as always.
James Randall: Blurry Drifter
The good: Clean blurry set, well executed. Very nicely done.
The bad: When placed next to some of the other entries this time around, it can`t compete in terms of difficulty or originality.
Overall: props on hitting a cool five, very cleanly. I look forward to seeing some runs of yours or playing with you one day.
Kevin Regamey: reverse slapping same side outside to in double around the worlding toe stall (aka Yukon Puke-on)
The good: 1. Ridiculously hard.
2. The whole thing was clean. That says a lot, simply because this seems like a bitch of a move to clean.
3. I had never seen this trick before, which automatically gets you points.
The bad: One leg is doing all the hard work for sure. But I find this (one-sidedness) more to be an issue in a Sick 3 than a Sick One, so it didn`t count against you at all in my book.
Overall: That trick is nuts. Props on a new triple dex, and for really getting those dexes nice and deep.
Anssi Sundberg: Alpine Scorpion
The good: The double down was ridiculously clean. Very rare to see this move so well executed.
The bad: the duck could have been deeper, but it`s still definitely legit.
Overall: Probably the best execution of this trick I have ever seen. I`m very impressed with all the stuff Anssi has put out.
Takumi Ozawa: Phobia
The good: Very hard trick.
The bad: The fairy set could have been better, and the torque was kinda peeled off the ground. I`d still give him credit on the trick, but the fairy definitely could have been deeper.
Overall: At the rate Takumi is progressing, y`all haven`t seen anything yet.
Byrin Wylie: gyro reverse torque
The good: No plant on the dex leg, looked in control throughout, the dex looked clean. Very hard trick, very nicely executed.
The bad: Nothing really.
Overall: Such a phat trick. Simple, yet elegant, and well executed.
The verdict: I`m still not sure who wins this... which is a testament to how hard some of the entries are. Right now my front runners are Kevin, Jorden, Anssi, and Byrin.

... And I still am! I voted for Planet Earth. Again.
I can't hit Stampende (Full Tap), no matter how hard I try, I just don't have enough power to do the Symp Mirage after the set. So I just dropped my jaws when I saw that trick. What cereal (sp?) do you eat for breakfast Planet Earth?
I voted for Jorden. His trick was just massive. Everyone elses was really good too, but I just think Jordens was the biggest of them all.
Tricks I have hit out of toe reverse whirling (traverse whirling?) set:
Butterfly, Mirage, ss mirage, Symposium traverse whirling ss symp mirage, ss rev whirl, almost op rev whirl. I will do more though, perhaps try to duck it.

But I had no idea that everyone was raising the bar a mile, damn! I was really surprised I even hit this move with my recent injury and all. Props to everyone because you guys totally blew my mind away just when I first seen the poll with your moves listed. Wow. It kinda feels like a joke to even have my move in there . . .
James Randall
I don't think blurry drifter is "normal" at all. It may not have a crazy set or anything like that, but compared to common 5's like phoenix or paradox torque (and many others) its pretty impressive.
Jorden clearly wins this one; his trick was huge. But I wish there was some way to vote for our 2nd and 3rd choices or something like that, so we could see a better distribution to where everyone stands.
