The first night has been fun.

Mosher, that sucks.

I'm pretty sure Ianek showed up last night.

Hope it was amazing!! I thought of you all very much this weekend. I have learned that I should become better at communicating!

Will Digges · Post by **Will Digges** » 13 Nov 2006 07:09

I am sorry you didn't make it Tom! I missed you,,

Yah communication is good, it would be better if we could telepathically.

Anyways, the weekend was a blast, I had a very good time. The venue was awesome, the juggling was awesome, the footbagging was awesome, the parties were awesome, the juggling show was awesome (Mostly Ken's performance). The hosts were very cool and everything went fine. I wish I was still there!

Peace!

I had a great time at this event. I got to see Ken, Jorden, and Clavens all in one event and they were amazing.

Everyone else was shredding really well. I had a few "first time ever" moments with some move combinations. I don't remember them now.

The frat house was awesome. Foosball with Aric McIntosh as my teammate was great. I will never forget point 7 for the tie against Pete and that other. I can't believe they won that game, but congratulations to them for that. Someday we will have a rematch, someway, somehow.

It was nice to see some of you again and to meet some of you for the first time. Whomever still owes me $4.00 for pizza, just buy me a Guiness Draught next time you see me and we will call it even.

Peace.

Jesus, the level of play these days is incredible!

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 13 Nov 2006 20:19

Seriously! I hit pixie wonton eclipse, bs bed, and symp whirling eclipse, and I STILL had no chance.

Clavens also hit stepping mullet, and Jorden hit blurry symp flux. Each player only had 5 tries, so the level was even higher than the results may indicate.

Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 14 Nov 2006 00:25

Sick 1 Top 3 -- all quad dexes!

That's gotta be a first.

Cornell rocked. I loved these types of events. Sick Venue, crazy talent, solid juggling show.

Unless Seattle knocks on my door, count me in for next year.

Furius Motion>Blurry Symp Flux?

(When ">" means Greater Than)

sampotter · Post by **sampotter** » 14 Nov 2006 17:39

Easily.

The Cornell gang is awesome, the event went well overall and I had an awesome time. I'll probably have a long detailed post in the blog later on. Just wanted to thank the hosts for being really nice and hosting a great event/party, also to expand on the results a little, because it makes me look good

.

Open Circle
4th Will D.
5th Aric M.
6th Pat T.
7th Matt C. (Matt and Pat may be switch... can't remember)
8th Ianek R.

Mirage Race - Aric M.
Guiltless Shred Race - Aric M
Infinity Race - Ianek or Ben K. can't remember
2nd Mirage Race - Ben K.
Smear Race - Ken?

And to clarify the judging for sick 1... it got rushed. It was held last day, when some people had to leave. The awards ceremony had to start before the judges of sick 1 even new who the other judges were. They decided the winner about 30 seconds before giving out the reward. In my opinion it would have went different had there been more time, and if the judges could have looked at the footage.

**From my angle and opinion
Jorden - Furious Motion - the motion was footy, and definitely seen him hit a better one earlier in the weekend.. still very impressive
- Blurry symp. Flux - was nuts! definitely would have liked to seen it in slow-mo

Will - Blurriest Swirl - huge, i think nice and deep. but would have liked to see in slow-mo

Dave - Nemesis - clean, great form
- Alpine Whirly Gig - Couldn't see the whirl, set was nice
- can't remember his 3rd trick

Ken - Symp. Blazing Eclipse - not as explosive as the other tricks... but definitely overlooked in this competition, had a bad angle to judge cleanliness
- Beta Frantic Eclipse - also overlooked
- BS Bedwetter - also had a bad angle

Without viewing the footage I would have placed it like this:
Jorden - Blurry Symp Flux
Dave - Nemesis
Ken - Symp. Blazing Eclipse

Almost same rankings, and viewing the footage could have changed it some more.

Will Digges · Post by **Will Digges** » 15 Nov 2006 09:40

you'd pick symp blazing eclipse over a 4 dex?

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 15 Nov 2006 14:02

yeah, I'm with Willie on this one.

Symp blazing eclipse is not a very hard trick in you've got a whirling set. Blurriest swirl is an ass kicker for even the best shredder.

Will Digges · Post by **Will Digges** » 15 Nov 2006 14:16

Thanks Senor :p that one baffled me
