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

nice tricks all

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! 8)

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. :D 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. You can find it written on the Big One Jam page on www.footstyle.net

"The Beautiful Game" is soccer.

It was some absurd hour in the morning.

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 was thinking about changing my hairstyle (to much shorter) before Worlds! 8O ... And I still am! 8O 8O 8O


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 . . . :wink:

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.

Jorden in my book.

Anything that ends in Symposium Torque is ridiculously hard and to have it preceded by Symposium Tap is icing on the cake (even though you put icing on afterward :D )

Not to mention Jorden was one of a few who sealed it with another trick.

I hadn't realised that another trick made the trick better. :/

I'll do that next time.
