Didn't know spinning clipper could be symposium.

Good shit vaska - but why was everyone letting him self serve so goddamn much? I would have left that circle so fast. I mean, a club session is one thing, but Euros??

Maybe I'm wrong.. I'm not a master about footbag tricks.. but spinning clipper can be symposium.. at least if you don't step the foo that you throw and you catch.

I'm wrong?

Also I gotta said that maybe he don't do 17 symp tricks of 19.. I see it more than 10 times and I think that there are 19 tricks in that run, and I see 17 symposiums.. can anyody tell me if he/she see the same number of tricks as me...? or there are more? or less?..
I don't know.. I just said what I saw..

Those circles were more of a Vasek shows, if you would have left the circle fast, that would have been great. Then Vasek would have got bag earlier again.

That indeed wasn't a normal circle, more like groundbreaking tries in a group or something. Take no offense

Yeah there is some crazy stuff in this video. Also I laughed when one of the guys in the background gives vasek props for walking in a circle doing outside kicks. I think I can probably do that too

Just one thing that interested me - it seems like Vasek's toe op dex set game is fairly weak - he really looked like he was struggling with those consec atomsmashers and toe blurs - or was I missing something (like a pixie set at the start). He has very strong downtimes so he can hit stuff like toe bedwetter but it looks like it's hard for him to get out good sets and certainly he's a long way from some players in regards to those sets.

I really liked his whirrs also - they looked a bit different to how I remember seeing him hit that move in the past and maybe a little harder - but then when he hits blurry whirr you can see how that technique is good.

I remember how stoked I was to hit superfly>whirr a while ago - that run is insanely awesome - even with the "muted" spinning clipper.

His dexes are so close to the bag it's rediculous.

Oh, and his crank is still extreme.

at the beginning, i think its fun to see how an mobius is as easy as an inifinity

i cant wait to see some footage of him at worlds and his routine

just a question, he knows hes the best of the whole world .. does he have a big ego or he's very fun to talk with ??

I really think there was more to those Quantum Mirages...Pixie or Symposium I believe.

Altough I must admit, those Atom Smashers looked a bit hard for him...so perhaps we must accept that there are some tricks in Footbag that other players do better than Vasek

Or he was just having a bad day

Maybe I'm wrong.. I'm not a master about footbag tricks.. but spinning clipper can be symposium.. at least if you don't step the foo that you throw and you catch. I'm wrong?

You are wrong. Symposium concept applies only to Dexterity tricks (Spinning is a Body trick). What you described is more Gyro than Spinning. But not Symposium.

From the few interviews and what the other players have said, I've got the image that he's nervous and not that confident about being the best before the big competitions. Or then that's just the image he wants to give, maybe he's really made of ice... of ice that flows and hits symposium whirrs.

And it's a fact that other players are achieving him, although he's breaking the limits all the time.

Wow. Awesome. I can't wait to see the better quality version, because, to be honest, the quality in this one is a bit crappy. I would download it even if it were 700 MB large. So.. Anything under 100 MB won't satisfy me.

I think it is not good to judge someones personality on an internet forum.

Moreover it is not hard collecting your own impressions at tournaments.

Would you like that people would talk about yourself in this manner:
I have heard that ..... and that...... and others told me that....
and I have heard that Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

I can only tell that I enjoyed to shred with Vasek pretty much and at my impression he is a nice guy.

It is footbag, players are in your reach, so no need to talk about them and guess so much.

My two cents.
