so whats the deal, just because its a really hard move there suddenly shouldnt be any standards? the dexes were almost completely vertical (not helped by the camera angle, i noticed the second time through), and the second dex was somewhat thin. it bothers me that it doesnt look at all like a symp whirl done twice, or a whirl at all. when i first started playing freestyle i didnt understand the difference between a ss butterfly and a reverse whirl. someone said to me that if they felt like the same move to me, i had to be doing one of them significantly wrong. i wonder how different a near symp barrage feels to that (or whatever it would be)
now dont get me wrong. firstly its still a very impressive move. and secondly i dont have any dislike whatsoever for anyone who has responded to the video yet, so i dont want to seem like a dick when i mostly just pictured it differently in my head...
so feel free to debate, but i dont want to cause unnecessary problems, believe it or not.

well the difference between this move and symp. barrage is the same difference between a symp. whirl and a pogo. Or roughly anyway.
I saw the symp. whirr and you are right: it's not always clean (he hit it many times), but it looks NOTHING like a symp. barrage bail to clip.

yeah i'm gonna have to say it's a nice looking symp whirr and i don't think it looks like a symp barrage bail to clip at all. firstly he's got his knee flexed his hip is slightly flexed, abducted and his leg is inverted. for a symp barrage, his knee would be flexed less and his hip would be flexed slightly extended, it would be more adducted and enverted . also look at the bag in relation to his body, it's lateral and posterior to him, for a symp barrage it would be underneath him more (think symp furious). i think it's pretty easy to tell them appart. also, maybe talking about standards isn't the best thing to do when a trick has just been invented. ofcourse it's going to be sloppy, and you're probably going to drop it more often then naught. maybe when there's 100 people hitting it, or even 10, then we can really start talking about standards. i'm not saying you have to like the trick either, there's hundreds of tricks out there that some people think are the bomb and i think are hideous, but i think props when props are due (and yes, they are due here!) is a good way to think about this trick at this particular moment in time.

Guess I was wrong.Jeremy wrote: think a genuine symp whirr is impossible (both dexes done outside the knee and without planting.
Man that looks soooooooooo good. I am going to learn that move. Definitely a legitimate symp whirr in my opinion. The last dex was really toey but still there. - ie. it's clean but only just. Still for such a hard move I think you'd have to do the dexes low down like that.
Awesome - highlight of the day.
Yeah, that must be it.
I hope you don't mind, Marco, but I just had to slow-mo this:

wow. perfect. (it is 100% clean)
I re-encoded it (much like the slow-mo version, but with better quality) and uploaded it to the Massive Tricks section at Flipsider. http://www.flipsider.com/tricks/massive/
Let that be a reminder to anyone reading this. Please contribute your clips of this year's biggest moves to Flipsider. That doesn't mean you can't use them in your own videos; just take an extra few minutes to encode the best individual moves for the Massive gallery. email me with any questions/comments.

I agree. It's SICK but the dexes being vertical makes it not completely clean I think. I was debating this for 10 minutes last night with jeremy haha.the dexes were almost completely vertical (not helped by the camera angle, i noticed the second time through), and the second dex was somewhat thin
