With all due respect, only clean moves go in the Massive section. Her Stepping set is completely pull-thru. It's pretty incredible that she could nab that Torque on such a sideways set though; she has a great Torque. I really wish someone would coach Hania on a few things like Clipper form and Slur; her game would go through the roof. She'll probably figure it out for herself though, if enough people are honest.
Can any of us hit blurry torque? I think some of us can... cough cough
I don't think Hania's move is that bad, both dexes could be cleaner but I wouldn't call the set "the". It's a little slurry, but I think the bag leaves the setting foot before the dex.
my video (shot in sep 2003) also is a little slurry I think, but I still think in I hit the move (just these days I hit it cleaner). - Same thing in Hania's case - the first few times you hit a move it tends not to be perfect. I would say that many of the massive trick videos are not perfect, but I think you can hit a move legitimatly without hitting it perfectly.
Props to Hania!! That's really sick!! NICE form!
I agree that both dexes are iffy. I slowmoed and the torque was definately the. I'm not too good at telling with stepping sets, though. I think a first move is only ever iffy if the components you're working with are new to you and/or all the rest of your moves invovling these components are slurry. I don't the stepping and I don't the torques so my first blurry torques were clean as far as I know.
Definate props, though. That's really groundbreaking for women's freestyle (as discriminatory as it may sound)! What else is Hania hitting? There was a girl in the GFO04 video that looked really good, does anyone know who I'm talking about?
Hey Eli...let's get Caro up on Shreditas busting a 6...I know she can do it if she hasn't already! Caro's dexes are deep and clean.
Hania has been hitting pdx torque clean for almost a year now and I have it on video, so I'm not concerned about that half of the trick. The stepping set is there, just needs to be set-dex, separately, rather than all at once. I also used to have trouble with that on one side. It was a bitch to change, but I had to re-school the set.
Anyway, I'm stoked Hania and Lise are pushing women's freestyle by trying these huge tricks!

Yeah, that girl kicks ass...that is Lise Thygesen from Denmark, a.k.a. "Shredette" Apparently she has a long long list of 5's and 6's that she can hit relatively easily. Looks like she's got style too...thanks for pointing that out, I totally would have missed it.
The footbag is right at her foot on the second dex - which I personally think is a lot harder than doing a torque with a high dex. I tend to think the higher you can dex on a torque the easier it is.
