Congratualtions to everyone who competed especially those who made the top 10! Even though it was a demo how come Vasek didnt win the Sick 3,did he compete in it?

King Monkey · Post by **King Monkey** » 01 Aug 2004 16:17

MAX! how did the doubles go!?!?

I thought Vasek won Sick 3 with Janiwalker>Superfly>Frontside Flurry...

no, vasek didn't win... toni did.

where did you hear that Ovetin?

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 01 Aug 2004 18:13

I would DEFINATELY choose
janiwalker > superfly > fs flurry
over
whirlygig > whirlwind > spinning blender

(They are both really one-sided though...)

Vasek didn't compete.

From what it looked like to me... the sick 3 was very unofficial and kind of brought together at the last moment. I had heard rumours during the week that it wasn't going to happen, and then like with an hour or two left in the last all night shred, they announced they would do one.

The crowd chanted for Vasek to come on and hit something, but he didn't. Not many BAPsters competed, and not many people in total competed, but Toni was announced the winner. End of story.

No

At least I didn't see him or hear of him being there.

This was his first worlds and he is not a veteran of competition. Thus it was not that he was sandbagging; he was simply a top competitor at the intermediate level and he executed to his ability level.
Congrats David!!!

Agreed.

Well said.

Props David. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

so was sick3 almost not held because of poor organisation, or did the tournament organisers just not want to really hold it?
cos i think its a pretty important event... like i mean sure we already know who will win (if he competes that is), but its good to see ppl push themselves to hit knew and exciting combos, and change the idea of what is Sick and what is not so Sick...i think it should be becoming more official than less official

I have no idea why the event was almost not held. I definitely agree that it should have been part of the "show" that took place when a ton of footbag players AND people seeing footbag for the first time were there. However, it was done late in the night, when only footbag players who were shredding were there.

cclaudia · Post by **cclaudia** » 01 Aug 2004 19:03

yeah i found that awfully strange as well.... i don't know either why it wasn't held at a better time.... it was at 2 am, and i went home earlier thinking it wasn't going to happen... i would have stayed to see it, oh well.

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 01 Aug 2004 19:14

No sick 3 is silly. Maybe they were worried about the controversies with judging, though. That seems to be the case in most sick 3 comps, especially when Vasek or a beast combo is involved.
It's sad, though. I think a lot of people go to Worlds hoping to compete in 30 second shred and sick 3 and don't even care about routines.
