Shred Global contest #3 (ends June 1st)
Shred Global contest #3 (ends June 1st)
In light of Damon's recent, inexplicable, hateful and particularly nasty insulting of me on the forums, I think the solution is clear. Damon and I need to do a video hackoff of at least one footbag challenge. Nasty shit-talking is bad for the forums and the community, and enough damage has been done. I feel the most entertaining and fair way for two footbaggers to settle things, is for them to have a video hackoff.
See Double Elimi Nathan for an example:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IetPDRswEDU[/youtube]
So without further ado, I am officially challenging Damon to a video hackoff, that will include any combination of the following events (all on video):
1. Consecutive osis contest.
2. Consecutive gyro clipper contest.
3. Best spinning gyro clipper
4. Consecutive spinning osis contest.
5. Best trick.
6. Best routine at NYJ.
7. Best sick 3
8. Best blog post article for EC Kick.
9. Best overall shred video of yourself.
Damon: For the entertainment of the forums, I think it would be best if we did all 9 elements (plus any other footbag-related ones you suggest that are related to our "feud"), and then determined the winner based on who wins the most events.
I know you have a camera and can make videos, so it's really a question of "put up or shut up." On that note, let's add some stakes: whoever loses the contest stays off modified for 3 months.
Frankly, you insulting me on the forums has only limited entertainment value. I am confident that a series of video contests between us would be way more entertaining and productive for the forums.
How do you want to go about doing this? I'm willing to be flexible with the events, the formats, and the stakes. But I honestly think this would be the most fun and entertaining way to settle our differences.
Are you game? Or can I expect another lame troll excuse of a response?
The bag is on your foot. Let's do this, and make something good come out of this lame situation.

Best solution to online drama contest: so far I got to go with Ken. Damon, man- what can you bring to the plate?
This is such a constructive way of settling an online feud. I seriously hope this comes to fruition. Regardless, let's keep this fight clean!
Also, bare in mind, we are all too old to be stirring shit on a forum.

The move in question is osis. Not big 3s and shit. If you want to battle here is the format:
30 osis non carried in Nucleus shoes brand new out the box. Put your form where you mouth is!

1. Once I buy a pair of nucleus, we set a deadline.
2. Whoever films themself hitting more consecutive osis wearing nucleus during that time, wins.
3. The loser is banned from modified for 6 months.
4. Modified admins will enforce the ban, by blocking your account.
Of course we are silly. Did you see the video I posted? Silly video hackoffs are THE best way to resolve modified disputes.brianbear wrote:you guys are silly, and this would do nothing.
I know you make a living on making outrageous challenges, thinking nobody will call you out on them. This time you're wrong. Here's the deal:FlexThis wrote:30 osis non carried in Nucleus shoes brand new out the box.

Look Ken, I am in no shape for any of that stuff. You win on all of that stuff!
My personal beef with you is that you propagate bad form and then talk from the 'we' person. Speak for yourself and I'll respect you.
I was not calling you gay. I think the idea of a hack off and calling it a hack off is very zohan. It's just a dumb thing to call it. Head to head shred sounds a little better, let's add that to the DS And I am always down for some MMA style fun, if you like that sorta thing. No threats, it's a sport too!
I think it's great that at your age you still want to compete. I do not want to compete. I have no doubt you can hit more of just about anything than me. My challenge to you is to take it back to basics and show your best 30 osis with what you believe to be proper form. I will do the same. I pick Nucleus because they REQUIRE proper form out of the box. They will not let you slop anything, you will drop if you try.
I don't agree to your terms. You are not modified, therefore it is not yours or mine to gamble. You can't silence me, so deal!!!
Like I said 30 proper osis. The community decides, winner gets crowned osis king. That's all I'll agree to. Unless??? You are willing to wear 40 extra pounds worth of weights while you perform all that stuff. That would shut me up for 6 months lol otherwise I really can't hang with all that and I admit that. I just want you to admit your form is off.

In your own words:
If you can't even do this, then you should stop talking shit on anybody else.
In your own words:
I'm game. Let's do this and have it count for something. Loser banned from modified for 6 months. I am accepting your challenge (a challenge you proposed). Will you accept your own challenge? Or did you not expect me to call your bluff?FlexThis wrote:Like I said 30 proper osis. The community decides, winner gets crowned osis king. .

No bans. That's dumb. You just want power and you are tripping dude!
I challenged you in Nucleus!
30 Osis, proper form, no carries.
That's it! Bring it! I got a fresh white pair in my room. 2 for 1 sale, whatcha waiting for.
BTW - stop feeling so threatened, you got skills, go on brush your shoulders off.

OK Ken! I will make this easy for you. I will do my BEST to film 30 consecutive Osis in BRAND NEW NUCLEUS shoes tonight after work.
You will have between then and the time you receive your Nucleus to study my crap form and improve upon your own to beat me.
Rules:
1.) Must be brand new nucleus out of the box
2.) Must be 30 complete Osis with no drops.
3.) Form is decided by anyone who cares to cast an opinion.
4.) Winner gets bragging rights and ownership of the forums for 6 months.
That means if you win and I make a post in a thread and you make a post in a thread, I will graciously bow out. IP bans are dumb, I work on several machines and can make a new account at anytime. So it's fruitless to even go that route. I will self regulate, it's not difficult to do, I already do it for MC cause I like the guy but don't want to push his buttons so I lay off.
Deal? The sooner the better really. I don't want to keep pushing your buttons either.
edit: stick and stones dude!

OK, let's set the terms of this then, and make it official.
1. Ken will order a pair of nucleus. When they arrive, Ken and Damon will set a deadline for posting their videos.
2. Ken and Damon will make a thread where they each post their video.
-Each player will hit 30 consecutive osis, in unmodded nucleus shoes.
-To prove they are unmodded, right after the 30th osis each player will show on camera their shoes aren't modded. This will be one continuous take, to prevent editing shenanigans.
-A voting period of 3 days will commence after both videos are posted. Votes will be made by people posting in the thread, in order to ensure votes are tied to real modified members, and not anonymous guests. Voters must have been members of modified as of 10/25/2010.
3. The loser of this competition will not make any posts on modifed for 6 months. If the loser breaks this promise, they will be banned for one year.
If you agree to these terms, I'll go ahead and buy the shoes. I'm willing to spend money on shoes I don't need, just to get rid of you for 6 months. If I'm going to do this though, I need to make sure you'll actually stay off modifed for 6 months.
Agree to these terms, and it's on.

You keep changing the rules. We get it. Spare us your official shenanigans.
I will post mine tonight. I don't care for all the formalities.
It will be posted here in this thread for all to see and judge.
That's it! None of this added 1 year BS.
That's all I got to offer you - I don't compete, so I really don't care for all the formal crap.
You said put up or shut up right? That's what I'll do. You can do whatever you want, it's a free country.
