[Cod]

That "Beta Phasing Near Pickup" has only one dex... Sorry, Toby.

That's all what I want to tell about Sick One competition today. It's 3:30 am . I'll post more tomorrow.

[vettehunter123]

Is this the same as the 3rd quarter comps?

[acxel22]

Actually the way I see it, I don't see any dexes,
the fairy is done over the bag, the swirl doesn't seem to be going over the bag , and the pickup is a toe stall

that's the way I see it, but defenetlylooks cool anyways, and I love it

*I must say due to the video quality I can fairly be wrong about the swirl...

[Zeb Jackson]

NICE editing NIC!

heres what i think of the nov sick 1 and 3!

these arent official results lol this is just what I think lol, so please dont take any of this offensive!

Nov sick 1
1.Matt Coffman- Pdx Flail
When are you going to go open man?
2.Kyle Hewitt- Legbeater
Nice kyle that was clean!
3.Benjamin Benulis- Ps mirage
nice man i really liked it new scince the Us open?
4.Ron illinois- Blur
from what i could tell it was pretty clean, good job
5.Zac Miley-Dimwalk
I though this dimwalk was really clean, good job
6.luis rinowski- Zulu mirage
Nice it looked like it was really easy for you
7.fred noinaj- weaving osis
I liked it! one of my favorite tricks!
8.Julien Romiti- Pixie Diving Clipper
i though the pixie was a little thin sorry =(, but pixie ducking/diving is hard anyway so props to you for that =)
9.cody carter- toe ducking butterfly
I probably wouldve like this more if it was from clipper, but good job anyways!
10.Ben Rae- Refraction
Nice ben i liked it
11.Robert wojcikiewics- dada curve
no comment i though the execution was good ;P
12.Matt hennemuth -parkwalk
maybe it was because you didnt plant after the pixie? I think it would have placed WAY higher if you would have planted the pixie foot
13.Trey Mcmeans- clipper mirage
Nice! CLipper set mirages are fun!
14.Samantha Hennemuth- pixie
for being as young as she is this was really cool!
15.Devan Hennemuth -toe stall
likewise with Devan

Nov Sick 3

1.Asmus helms- datw>dimwalk>ripwalk
i think this was the best combo out of all the entrys, and it was really clean IMO
2.Julien Romiti- Tapdown>ducking clipper>dyno
Tapdown? That was sick!
3.Aleski Zikin-Torque infinity Torque
WOW for the torques man they are awesome! a little more variety would have given you first easily!
4.Kyle Hewitt- Smear> Dimwalk>Double legover
i think this was really good, your pixies were really high
5.chris miller- Duckin pdx mirage>dimwalk>diving clipper
i think i would have given you 4th if the diving at the end were more clean, but other than that i think thats a GREAT improvement scince Us open!
6.Danny Petrick- Symp mirage> rev whirl>drifter
that toe set rev. whirl was awesome!
7.Louis Rinowski- Symp mirage>refraction>ps mirage
Ps mirage midstring? NICE!
8.Ron Illinois- Diving Clipper>Pdx mirage>PLO
Pdx mirage to PLO? thats a really cool combo
9.cody carter- symp mirage>mirage>ducking clipper
the ducking clipper i think is the reason why i liked this one
10.Fred Noinaj- Pixie SS cliper>weaving clipper>osis
the pixie SS clipper was pretty good and clean IMO good job!
11.Robert wojcikiewic- Mirage>butter>Refraction
nice and controled...i liked that
12.Axel Tai- Butter>pdx mirage> symp mirage
the 2 different mirages at the end of this combo is a cool link
13.benjamin benulis- symp mirage > butter> osis
man ive seen you hit way better than this before! (holding out arent ya?;))
14.Zac Miley- symp mirage>butter> mirage
Your symp mirage looked REALLY easy nice job
15.Ben Rae- osis> butter> far osis
nice ben! far osis is one of my favorite tricks, and you did it perfectly!
16.Trey Mcmeans- Walkover>toe delay>butterfly
i think walkover is a trick that even novices dont use anymore, so i think this one is pretty unique!
17. Matthew Hennemuth- pixie>pixie>atw inside
pixies look pretty good, and that around the world inside is a Neat-O trick thats really stylie
18.Jared Illinois- Mirage> Legover>butter
Nice combo, i think if yo drill that your tiltless game will be REALLY good, it also seemed like you had it dow pretty good, i think by adding the delay to make sure you caught it makes it harder, but at the same time, i dont think it really makes it consecutive, good job though

[B_Man]

Can't wait for the Sick 3s Nic. Great job on the editing as well (and song choices - The Love Song = awesome).

Woo another fan of K-os!

Is this the same as the 3rd quarter comps?

Yes August = the middle of 3rd quarter of the year .


I left Open sick 3 uploading when I left for uni this morning, unfortuantly it doesn't seem to be in the gallery so I will have to check out what went wrong when I get home (8 hours from now) - sorry for the additional delay!

[vettehunter123]

Oh, cause my entrys didn't make these. I got an E-mail saying thanks too. Oh well its all good, I'll just keep practicing for the next comps! Props to all of those who entered!

[BalinorNZ]

Oh, cause my entrys didn't make these. I got an E-mail saying thanks too. Oh well its all good, I'll just keep practicing for the next comps! Props to all of those who entered!

I just checked and your entry is indeed in my inbox and was indeed left out of the competitoin - i'm very sorry about that, I don't know how I missed it and it makes me very annoyed that I did . The responce you revieved was automated, I won't be using an automated responce next time as it seems to lead to these kind of mistakes.

Recieving entrys through email is a very inefficient system and if I have more that about 50 entrys it gets quite complex making sure I haven't missed anyone out - I think in the future I will have to devise another system of recieving entrys. In a few months I will have a job and will buy webspace, perhaps I can have a page where people can upload entrys too for me to recieve.

I would take the competitions down, add your entrys and upload them again, but that takes about 3 hours per competitoin and I just don't have any time left to spend on these competitoins at this stage I'm sorry Travis.

When I get home tonight I will upload your entrys and include links to them so they can be judged along with the rest, but I won't be able to add your entrys into the actual competitoin videos

[vettehunter123]

Nah man, that would take too much time, I'll be sure to enter next time. Thanks for organizing the comps Nic, they are fun to watch.

1. Honza Weber – Pixie Flurry
Damn. I guess we’re all competing for second. Huge!

2. Anssi Sundberg – Your Mom
Damn, nice. Super clean and completely controlled the whole time.

3. Byrin Wylie – Spinning Ducking Swivel
Damn man! Sick Loved it. You started spinning much too early, but the duck and the dex were tight!

4. David Castillo – Blurtigo
Damn you! I entered that! Nicely executed, and very hard trick. The step was a little slurry, but the drifter was more controlled than mine, props!

5. Jamieson Hickingbotham – Blurtigo
Real nice set, although it wasn’t exactly straight it was pretty darn close. Drifter could have been earlier, the catch was a little too forward and the seal could have been better.

6. Henry Griese – Flailing Torque
Holy cow man, you make such a hard trick look so casual! Such tight windows on those dexes, the only thing I can think of wrong with this was the osis… everything else was beautiful, big props.

7. Mitko Dimitrov – Ingyro Torque
Dope! Loved it perfect execution and a torque done the way they were meant to! Major props.

8. Nic Bathgate – Atomic Blender
Sick man Real tight efficient atomic set, props on that, although it traveled forward a bit. Blender could have been a touch more controlled, but a sweet job. Props.

9. Phil Morrison – Pixie ss Tap
Nice man props on originality, and all clean and well executed.

10. Kevin Regamy – Sailing ss Eggbeater in socks
Socks? Sick trick, for sure, but the lack of shoes downgrades the difficulty a lot. That said, it was perfectly executed.

11. Hernan Moreno – Frankenstein
Very controlled, nice job! Second swirl might have been a little thin, hard to tell with the bad framerate, but you definitely had control of that trick

12. Samuel McAulay – Blurriest
Wow. Um, impossible to see the bag at times. Just watching I couldn’t see the bag until you caught it, frame by frame I could juuuuuust see it sometimes, throughout the double down. It looked clean, but it’s hard to tell. Maybe a little shoey… endeavour to get some clearer footage in future We can’t judge what we can’t see.

13. Aleksei Zikin – Toe Ducking Torque
Nice Torque, but the duck was quite thin. Hard to tell from that angle, but it might not even be there at all.

14. Axel Tai – Merlin
Sweet Second dex could be deeper, but it’s definitely clean (I’m being picky there ), good job.

15. Chris Miller – Darkwalk
Props Pixie was a little thin, but it was a sweet dive and butterfly, good job.

16. Josh Munstermann – Alpine Legbeater
Atomic set was very slurry You almost set it under your knee, but the duck and the butterfly were very clean and controlled, good job on those.

17. Asmus Helms – Pixie Diving Osis
Cool trick Pixie diving is cool… unfortunately the pixie and dive were both a little thin.

18. Chris Balch – Pixie Paradon
Very controlled, good job. Paradon was a little shoey, but there.

19. Evan Lovely – Pendulous Rev Swirl
Sweet, set could have been a bit straighter but other than that it was very controlled, nice unique trick.

20. Toby Suggate – Beta Phasing Near Pickup
Sorry Toby, Michal is right, there is only one dex.


Hot damn that was hard to rank. Big props to everyone, a lot of those were hard to decide Oh yeah, I'm not an official judge or anything, just offering my thoughts.

[janis]

[BalinorNZ]
