Who likes it when (no video)

Post by Shredster »

Who likes it when during a video, one crazy shredder goes for a combo, then immediatly after that, another crazy shredder goes for a combo that is exactly the same?

Its interesting to me to see two different players able to hit the same things different ways. A couple examples:

Worlds Sideline video: Felix goes for Triple Spinning Osis. Immediatly after, Jorden goes for Double Inspinning Osis (I think). Though these are two different tricks, these are somewhat close in that they require insane spinning ability. Its amusing to me to see that both players came so close to hitting these.

Second example: Suomi Summer video, felix goes for Spinning pdx Eggbeater (mantis?) > frankenstein > montage. Vasek goes for Mantis > frankenstein > nemesis. This was entertaining as well.

Am I the only one who thinks that two players going after the same combo and coming really close to hitting the same combos, entertaining? I would love to see a video, a sick 3 video, with felix, vasek, jorden (for example) all trying to hit the same difficult combos. That would be a great competition too.

The same sort of thing can be seen with footage of players trying the same trick at the same time. I can't think of the video where Ales and Vasek (I think) hit (Mullet?).
I would prefer to see the combos side by side, rather than one after another... I don't know why.

I guess it's kind of like when you try a combo or a trick and then when you pass the bag, the next person tries the same thing and maybe even hits it... it can kind of piss you off.
I don't know what point I'm trying to make, so I'll leave it at that. (I'm having so much trouble typing this!)

I prefer one after the other so that you can't have to choose which one to watch

my favorite is when two kickers do the same string at the same time. like vasek and honzas incredible doubles routine.
