I would do that Ken, but for some reason when I try to play Byrin's avi the movie works, but no picture appears.. It's just a black screen. So I'm unsure whether me making an avi from that will work and be able to be seen.C-Fan wrote:Could somebody be a darling and convert Byrin`s vid to either wmv or mpg?
Thanks.
I'm hoping someone else steps up and formats it to WMV and hoping that will work too. I really want to see the blender > barfly link .. Sounds cool.

Oh yes, and also a reminder at what's at stake here for the winner - aside from bragging rights of course.
Kevin Regamey has offered to send a music CD of shred beats to the winner of the this competition. Perhaps some extra incentive for Kevin to want to win this competition, so he doesn't have to mail anything out?

Ok I've watched all the vids and here is my run down of each combo
Anssi:
Janiwalker>pdx torque - awesome! Janiwalker is really good. Slightly off balance with pdx torque but good anyway. Ripwalk - boo!! The difficulty of the links isn't that hard - but Janiwalker in a sick 3 is impresive!
Chris:
Sweet combo - all moves are definitly worthy! It's also good that you do hard stuff with both sides. It would be nice if you didn't do two pixie sets on the same foot in a row - but that's ok - pixie out of a symp mirage shows that you are getting a nice high and solid symp mirage dex so that's good! I'd like to see you start the paradon much earlier in pixie paradon - Change feet in the air - rather than planting both feet and then doing it. I'd also like to see the PS whirl dex a tiny bit higher around the leg. I think both are clean but they could be deeper!
Jeremy:
I think that while the difficulty is easier on this combo to my last - the variety is much better - it goes hard triple dex>alpine move>all down time symp move. We have up time sets of pogo nuclear and pixie ducking and a down time mirage, butterfly and symp double down (on the other side to the butterfly). My only criticism is that the set out of the superfly isn't straight up - but off to an angle. I think the quality of my beard more than makes up for this. I also think that it was a mistake to draw the circle around the slow mo - it is light and a good quality vid so it would have been fine to just show it in slow mo without any effects.
Ben:
This is a cool combo. Definitly one of the coolest combos in the competition. However I could never vote for this - even if it was up against toe stall>inside stall>walkover. It's simply way to dark to see what's really happening. You can barely see the bag and you certainly can't see if the dexes are clean or if the bag is just passing in front of the dexing leg. The video tells me nothing - you may as well just post that you hit the combo and not show the video. This is annoying because it is a good and imaginative combo - so I think it would have done very well if you could actually see what's happening.
Kevin:
Looks really good - everything is well hit! good variety too. It's a shame that both pixie moves are on the same side. Also I think this combo is basically too easy. All the moves are too easy I think - although the link of pixie ss flail out of eggbeater is good! Sick 3s should be judged in terms of which combo is the hardest to hit - that's why they are called "sick" 3s - it's all about the sickness (sorry Kevin - but your combo didn't make sick
)
Byrin:
Obviously this has symp butterfly in it so it gets my vote. I get the picture Byrin only entered to keep the numbers up since he hit much harder versons of the second and third tricks in this combo. However there is no cooler move than symposium buttterfly and this combo easily out weighs any others - good work Byrin!
Here is a wmv version of his vid - just for Ken!

- good work Byrin!Here is a wmv version of his vid - just for Ken!

I also voted for Byrin - while the moves weren't the biggest, it was -very- well executed, on par creatively with the other combos, and it had a good variety of concepts. I think Kevin would have won if he had made the bubbabeater symposium. It was a creative, and well executed combo, but not quite sick enough, like Jeremy said.
Is it OK if other people watch it too?Jeremy wrote: Here is a wmv version of his vid - just for Ken!

I mean, thanks.
That paradon was so fast from Chris! I was like, "What?!" when I saw it. 
And Jeremy, though my combo may not have made YOU sick, it sure made me sick. Sick of trying sick 3 combos.
Next time I refuse to "settle".
I don't know who to vote for yet. Probably not Jeremy because I don't want to send a CD to Australia.

I'm too lazy to write an opinion about every combo... But here is something what I think:
I voted for Kevin. Just because it had variety and I think that all the links very pretty hard. And Pixie ss Flail looks cooool.
Holy cow, do I hate Symple Butterflies But that didn't look too bad, Byrin, altought it could have been better. Just the links were too easy. Your Mom > Double Blender > Superfly would have been very good
Jeremy's combo was somehow nice but then not...
Well the first link is cool. I somehow don't like shooting so much, altought it is clean and everything. If it would have been Sumo > Phoenix > any set 5 (Blurriest?) it would have been very good.
About my own combo...
The Ripwalk is there because I think it makes the link with Janiwalker hard enough and I didn't want to try anything like Blurriest > Janiwalker... so, shut up Jeremy!
The Pdx Torque is from other side than the last round if someone didn't notice I could have hit it more nicely, but that was the first and only one we caught on tape and Antti doesn't want to spend the whole day filming me
Oh god I hate my support feet positions there
Especially on the first two Clippers They're turned inwards like --- I don't know., but it looks awfull!

Everything was very clean and amazingly executed!
And his knees are f'ed up now, so he better win this competition!
jeremy yours was sweet too, but i just hate your camera, it is like a really fast slideshow.
Sure i could still tell that everything else was clean, but Byrin Stylie Wylie was more stylie

I voted Byrin last time, but I think Jeremy's was by far the sickest this time around. I wouldn't have liked sumo > phoenix > blurriest -- that would have changed my vote completely (I probably would've voted for Ben second -- I LOVE pdx blender...i find it sad that he has no votes right now). I am not a fan of shooting, either, but it was that superfly that did it for me! STYLEY!! That was a SWEET superfly. I also agree with Anssi about his links -- janiwalker is crazy midstring -- a combo starting with janiwalker would have been less impressive, but he proved that he can throw it in after a non-bail!
Thanks goes out to everyone who voted my way, along with Henry - thanks for the support!
I attempted harder combos earlier that night, but like most of you know my knees are messed up. I shouldn't have even gone for a Sick 3, but alas. By the end of the night, my knees hurt so much and I finally gave up on big combos and went with something easier. Like Jeremy said, I went in not expecting to win but for the sake of adding more competitors and having one more video for you guys to watch.
With that said and out of the way, I voted for Jeremy again this round though his combo was not pwning everyone else like last time. The combos were not as difficult imo, but they are definitely a lot closer (in difficulty) this time.
This can be told in a simple, precise statement:
If this competition were to be represented as a z-score, the standard deviation would be much smaller
EDIT: How come the people who competed last round didn't compete in this one? Come on you slackers! You know what I had to go through? First off I had to lick/warm the batteries in my camera about 5 times until they were completely dead. Next, I ran upstairs and stole the batteries out of my gameboy to use. Once they died, I went to the bathroom and took the batteries out of everyone's electric toothbrush to use. That was just enough to get my video on cam.
What's everyone elses excuse?

Yeah I constantly have camera problems - because I'm using a digital still camera with a movie function I can only have two attempts every minute approx. I was actually having three attempts to begin with but I hit my combo on the third attempt and the last move got cut out 
It's either that or no combo at all - next time I might go with the second optionHenryG wrote:jeremy yours was sweet too, but i just hate your camera, it is like a really fast slideshow.
Jeremy of course i was joking, i just knew that you were going to win so i just voted for someone else
Dont worry, its not bad at all, its very clear infact. I was just kidding around.
