I was just digging through a bunch of old videos i havent watched in a while, and i came across vasek doing the only atomic set ive ever seen him do, the first trick to vaseks shred 30 final, worlds 2003 is a legbeater.

anyone else seen him do an atomic set?

He is doing Atomics, trust me.

Just not as often as say Stepping.

On some GFO (I think) video from, like, 2002, or something, he hits rubberman > johnny quest attempt. He hit some atomic spinning move in a recent video too.

His Atomic set is quite strong really, in Croatia he was doing runs with Atomic blenders and whirls bsos, alpine legbeater etc, tapping dlo

Its also quite ironic that for such a ridiculously strong clipper player (maybe dominated), he hit the first verified 5 dex with a Pixie ATOMIC set

Let me guess...Pixie Atomic Whirl?

That would only be 3 dexes. The confirmed 5 dex that Vasek hit was pixie atomic flurry.

Whaaaat? Why was there no news? When was this?

Faco · Post by **Faco** » 06 Dec 2005 15:03

Whoops, my bad. I thought 5 Add, read it too quickly (and was wondering how the hell was this his first 5 Add lol).

Pixie Tapping Flurry? Yeah I can see that

I don't like how people say it was "verified" and "confirmed." Ales saw it and vouched for it, and that may be good enough for some people, but it's not good enough for me. 5 dexes is a lot, and even in a trick like sailing ss flurry there are lots of places to "the" a dex. Its possible Ales was focussing on the flurry, and that was clean, but maybe the pixie in the sailing was thin. Without video confirmation, its impossible to say. There are very few people who i trust to call "the" live (sunil, honza), and even if they vouched for it, I'd still wait to see vid before jumping on the wagon.

Ken - if move isn't verified for you, it doesn't mean it isn't at all...

Honza (?) told us some story about Vasek's atomic, and why he doesn't use it a lot, and why there was a period, when he didn't use to perform atomic moves at all... But maybe I noted it wrong, and it wasn't about this things at all

Os I won't write this here, because: 1) I'm not sure about how it was 2) I don't feel intitulated to tell it to others 3) I don't want to create gossips...

I'm sorry, I don't understand your comment.

If everybody who saw the move thought it was clean then its clean. Over analysing is pointless. It wouldn't matter who saw something or even if it's on video often you can never really know if it was clean or not. I think most of us play for ourselves and not for other people and if you're happy with something and there's no reason to suggest otherwise then I think that's what matters. With the 5 dex I hit - I was never really happy with it and that's why I never made it public and spent a long time trying to get it on video. I'm happy to accept the fact that Vasek has hit a legit 5 dex.

I watched some vid from worlds 2003 today where vasek starts a run with reactor(atomic whirl)>flurry>reactor>run so his atomics are fairly strong.

I lol'd when I read this

Not every waking footbag moment can be caught on tape

Hell, Gauntlet almost wasn't [they were at the end of their shred]

If someone vouches for it, and it's not like they have a reason to lie, I'll take their word for it.
