Has (insert viable, difficult trick name here) been hit? PG1

[BenRea]

dude. You dont think he hit the alpine nemesis before? That looked pretty damn close and it didnt look like he reacted too much to it like...oh damn, that was so close! i dunno, maybe he just doesnt do that. But it looks like he's hit it before, i really think he has.

[shredzilla]

Yeah, I'd say he's hit it. If he got that close on a random video, I'm sure he's sat up one night and hit it within like 15 or 20 minutes at the end of a session.

[max]

So considering the short vid from Euros this year showing Vasek dropping Alpine Nemesis, should we assume it has been hit? Anyone want to confirm it for us? Generally you dont see him try stuff he hasnt already done...

Any other phatness thats come out of Euros?

A BAPper confided that he saw him hit far ripstein recently.

[B_Man]

Double Flux?

Sorry if it's already been asked.

I hit pendulous ripwalk rake today. It was pretty epic and clean.
Naming rights?

I'm pretty sure it's been hit. The set name is pendulous I think.

Pretty sure max meant to say "the set name is Stepulous."
Evan Lovely is a pioneer of this style. He invented that set. He's probably done this trick. My bud Chris Balch is also hella good at pendulous and rakes and I'd be a little surprised if he hasn't done this too. But then, thats all a little speculative.

The trick is still pretty epic, though, and a cool freestyle road to go down, in my opinion. Keep hitting cool stuff like that, bb.

The only "stepulous" trick Evan Lovely has hit is pendulous ripwalk.


Has quantum ducking torque been hit? I don't understand how people can duck that set.

and if people are starting to duck swirl, and people can duck fairy, has anyone ducked fairy swirling (phasing) set?

[Zac Miley]

Yeah, Quantum Ducking Torque has been hit.

[Asmus]

SKAALDAAANYYYY!

I believe he named it Quartz.
Since Quantum Ducking Whirl is Crystal and Quantum Torque is Quark.
DOPE TRICK FOR SURE!

pendulous ripwalk rake is so cool! It mirrors awesomely!

what about pixie same foot (non symple) reverse swirl?

I hit it today. I think Vasek can do it judging from his Drifter Rev Swirls..

I'm not really good at rev swirls or twirls for that matter.. but I think that you need lees room to do a twirl than a rev swirl, probably because for twirl the swirling dex is not really a full dex.. anyway, your experience may differ

I don't think that's a healthy way to look at twirl and I also think that is why alot of people THE their twirls heavily.

[janis]

and if people are starting to duck swirl, and people can duck fairy, has anyone ducked fairy swirling (phasing) set?

I remember trying that ages ago, very hard to do cleanly.

I'd love to see video if anyone can do that set cleanly.

Anyone have vid of this trick? I want to see it, cant understand whats it like. :/

Sorry late reply and also in response to a couple of other comments apart from the one I quoted

I don't think the alpine nemesis attempt was that close. The bag hits his body so he doesn't get a clean duck, and he bails out of the dexes. If you assume getting that close means that he's probably hit it, you'd be amazed about the stuff you could assume I've hit. I also think it's hard to read much from the reaction. I don't think I've ever seen Vasek drop a move and get excited about being close to hitting it. I think there are a lot of players out there who do never get excited about moves unless they hit them, and certainly my only reaction to nearly hitting moves is anger and frustration at almost getting it right.

[BenRea]

That's a good argument and at this point i support both sides. i really think it could go either way.

Yeah I don't know where the vid is to watch it again, but the way I remember it seems like he got the duck over his neck, and he almost got the double down dex but it hit his calf or something and propelled the bag away.

So I figure the reason he didn't just sit there for 10 minutes until he hit it is because he's in a shred circle and doesn't want to disrupt the circle to that degree in case he doesn't hit it in the subsequent tries.

I just assume if vasek can duck a set, he can definitely double down it on the way down.

[BenRea]

That's a key point. I mean, that has to be true right? especially with double downs like his?

[King Monkey]

If you assume getting that close means that he's probably hit it, you'd be amazed about the stuff you could assume I've hit.

However we are talking about Vasek, not you. Clearly his abilities are superhuman and *generally* (I used this word before also), you see him try a huge move, miss it, and then find out shortly after that he has in fact hit it.

Only this is not the case so now the community has gone into a rage

[Jeremy]

Hopefully somebody at worlds could answer this question for us. Perhaps a little wager on it Ian? Say a case of beer next time we kick together?

[King Monkey]

I would but i couldnt risk losing a whole case of beer
