Yet another video from finnish footbag open

Post by **Allan** » 19 Oct 2004 21:47

Wow.

Can someone please do me the favor of re-encoding this video to DivX or something, anything, other than wmv?? If it's huge, I've got FTP information for anyone who comes forward

Truly amazing.

I don't know about everyone else but aside from the insane stuff Vasek was hitting (the first run was SOOO cool that he just did EVERYTHING and so styely and so unpredictably!!) Aaro's cameo was my favourite part! What style!!!
spinning dlo > smog > dimwalk > ps whirl > osis > butterfly > whisk > CLIPPER!!!!! > spinning eggbeater dropped

I loved all the bothsided Vasek stuff. First time I've seen flip double blender I think and maybe first time flip ripstein and all in the same run beesauce as well as symp whirling swirl! There was one run where he tried to just kind of toss an alpine food processor midrun and it looked SOOOO casual. What the heck?

Thanks for the video, Aaro. I hope to see more of you in future videos as well! I saw a clip from another recent video, too, I think, where you hit pandemonium? Sick stuff! Thanks for hosting, Ville!

I REALLY had to play after watching this but somehow ended up doing homework instead (that's so backwards!!). I REALLY REALLY wanted to write out every single run but everything was just unbelievable. Oh, the flip pixie shuffle was great!

Awesome vid! Thanks for posting!

The shred is unbelievable but what I liked about this vid was the music. Especially the first piece! Piazzolla's Libertango--you stole my idea of putting a footbag vid to Piazzolla! EXCELLENT choice of music!

Was that a really unclean furious pdx barrage I saw at 9:57?

Vasek is so way ahead of everyone else it's sickening.
He's truly mastered what I consider to be most of the coolest concepts in footbag (swirls, ripsteins, barraging sets, whirls, spins)
Thanks for the great vid.

more like a frontside fury butterfly, isn't it?

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 20 Oct 2004 09:50

No. It's Symposium Barraging Pdx Illusioning Butterfly.

to me it loos much more like miraging but its hard to tell exactly. crazy trick anyways

jon · Post by **jon** » 20 Oct 2004 10:44

i thought it was an illusion to

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 20 Oct 2004 10:54

It is a clear Illusion. I've been watching it like 20 times now and sure of it.

It`s Symposium Barraging Paradox Ripwalk.

Yeah, it's no illusion. Watch it frame by frame and you'll see. The movement for an illusion would look a bit different. So it's a

symp barraging pdx miraging butterfly.

He did that move in another video I think. Also, in the sorcery101 video
from Eric, he's close to hitting it right at the beginning.

I WAS going to confirm that we were talking about the trick at around 6:10, but a few posts above that's mentioned.

I might be put in my place later, but I don't see how anyone could call that a mirage. It's blatently a barraging pdx legbeater.

ebo · Post by **ebo** » 20 Oct 2004 12:11

the mirage is done very quantum-style.

after watching it again, i must admit it could either be an out-in dex
or an in-out dex. it's very hard to tell from that angle. still, I believe
it is the symp barraging miraging butterfly that Vaska has hit on
several other occasions.

david · Post by **david** » 20 Oct 2004 12:13

either way, i really dont think its a 3 dex set.

sick video.

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 20 Oct 2004 15:45

It`s symposium barraging set, followed by a downtime ripwalk. The last butterfly is so small I think it is hard to count it. I agree with David that it isnt a true `set` since the bag doesnt rise (or stay at its apex) after the 3rd dex.

Anssi, look carefully again, its definitely not an illusion (no pun intended). I think that set with an illusion would be much easier to turn into a real set. katoppa vielä uudet parikytä kertaa, dude.

Muffinman · Post by **Muffinman** » 20 Oct 2004 16:32

Definately not an illusion and I agree that the last dex is PULLED -- it almost looks like it rolls down his leg before stalling. I also really liked the furious barrage despite the lack of cleanliness. I'm not big on the's -- to me a move is just as cool if it is the and I couldn't really give a crap if I hit symposium furious miraging butterfly and the last dex was the: my opinion.

Colin · Post by **Colin** » 20 Oct 2004 18:10

Alright, I'll concede. But I'd still like to hear it from someone who was there.

As a side note, Chan mentioned that the bag brushed against the side of his delaying leg on the way down, which is true. Wouldn't that be much more likely to happen after a super tight illusion than a mirage?

I need to work on my concessions.

Edit: Back to the video, something that I'm sure lots of folks have noticed in the past months, but I haven't seen it mentioned. Vasek often doesn't realise that he's dropped untill after he's completed his next set - sometimes even a complete move (7:23). Is it just me, or is that really cool? Does anyone else do that? I certainly don't.

Actually, I work under the assumption that I've dropped until it's confirmed otherwise. Hah.
