Vasek, Franck and Arthur to break records on French TV

max · Post by **max** » 01 Jul 2005 06:05

Hello all,
just a quick post to inform you that Vasek is coming down to France for a couple of days to attemp to break a footbag record on a "record-breaking" show. It will be aired on national TV, France 3 to be exact, I'm not quite sure when.

Filming dates:

- 6th of july: Vasek will attempt to break the diving butterfly record
- 9th of july: Frank Remy (FR) will attemp yet again, he tried last year, to break the Eclipse record.
- 3rd of August: Arthur Ledain (FR) will go for the eggbeater record.

Just so you know, I doubt these shows are very official and I'm not sure what "current records" will be taken into account when filming.

I'll keep you all posted on how these go and air times. I think that Frank will record the shows and make them available on the internet in the future.

The current Diving Butterfly record is 20 by Mikko Lepistö. I'm sure Vasek will double it

Just to be clear. Lon Smith and Lonn Irish are infact completely different people...

But that sounds cool. I'm sure Vasek will beat the record and Frank seems to have very good eclipces. Haven't seen much footage of Arthur but I wish them all lots of luck!

That was awesome! It was so sweet how the guy would just ask for a trick and Vasek would just bust it no problem.

So cool to watch! Thanks!

Yeah, that was crazy how Vasek just busted out with ripstein upon ripstein on command!! Thanks for the video!

Yeah thanks for the vid!

I was actually worried because lately there are no vids of Vasek shredding, and i was wondering what he was up to and bam! This vid showed once again how much of a telent he is, man that was so awesome.

"Vasek, can you do some datw's please?"

BAM! Makes it look so easy......

Ripstein > inside > hop over swirl> spinning cross body hand catch

Sweet! You should have said
"Vasek, now can you hit 20 fearlless please"

"Vasek, Nemesis please, i know its easy for you"

Fkystyl · Post by **Fkystyl** » 10 Jul 2005 14:12

i of course agree with you, but I actually asked Vasek if he could hit nemesis during the show and he said no, so even though i would have liked to see that so much, i just had to respect his decision.

the wise man spoke...

Do you know why? He looked pretty nervous, but he did awesome. In front of all those people I would've probably passed out.

Fkystyl · Post by **Fkystyl** » 10 Jul 2005 14:37

i think that at the begining, he was a little bit nervous, but it means that he was focusing and concentrating on what he was going to do, so it is normal. Most of the artists are a little bit nervous or afraid just before doing a performance, but it is usually a good sign, according to me.

So that's why he did not hit nemesis, but i am sure that he could have done it, in one or two trys max.

then i think that he did awsome, just because he is THE man; he got a so strong mental, and that's part of the key for everything. And playing in front of a public or cameras can improve the way some people perform. I think that this is called being a show man.

the best is actually to ask him, but here is what i think.
