    Pe/PDR resigned from the WC in the semi-finals because SweSpin chose bävern above him, even though they promised Pe/PDR would get the turn then.

    And from where have you heard that?

    I have no clue how good Pe is nowadays, and as far as I've experienced he's not very good with deadlines. I've asked him to send in videos for the rounds even though he wasn't to participate, if we needed a reserve or otherwise so I could see how he was. I never received anything. I just don't know if I can trust him producing a combo.

    As for promising him the spot in the semis, no one was ever promised anything. Most of us agreed for a start that the double would be Pe + Ålan, but due to reasons I will not release in public, since I think they are highly interboard, bävern was chosen instead. I would've wanted Pe in the second round, but had no clue where we had him then. I'm sorry he never was in the WC, even though he was in the team.

    He never resigned from the WC-team either, he has just been really inactive over the past few months (well, years really) atleast forum-wise and all of a sudden made a thread about his "departure from the forum", even though most of us hadn't seen him there for quite a long time already.

    Well, I'm sorry if I didn't tell the truth in your eyes, but this was more or less what he told me personally.. Thanks for explaining what really happened then.

    Some people have already started bitching about the hack in my video, which was caused by Premier, and which I didn't fix due to lack of time. If you actually know what you're looking at, you can see that the trick I am doing continues directly after the millisecond long hack. For those who want to bitch more though, the source video for my combo can be found in the info of our Double Video on youtube.

    Oh, and Saizen was pure <3 btw.

    I don't know, I think it's going to be a tough decision. SweSpin and JEB are both really good.

    I liked the semi-final battles better. A lot of good videos then. I miss key3. How could they not use key3?

    Date: Sat, May 17 2008 21:18:02

    break down for your combo Sfsr? thanks, twas one of the best

    saizens combo was sweet, but the video lacked and i vote for swespin.
    toro kinda disapointed me, he was good, but i think alan is going to win.
    kuzu won in my opinion, but swespin will beat JEB

    and for the 3rd-4th battle:
    minwoo
    McDudelsaeck

    not too sure who will win in the doubles tongue.gif

    congrats everyone

  44. Sfsr
    Date: Sat, May 17 2008 21:34:30

    Haha, kind of. The thing is, I filmed that on Thursday, and had before getting this combo down planned to film more on Friday. I got down a combo though, figured it was good enough, and ended up using it. Haha, so I just had to throw that towel in what you saw there + a couple of more times.

    Oh, and as for the source video, I now replaced it with a downloadable version of the Double Video that I re-exported from Premier in higher quality, so the hack is gone there.

    I'll try to break down my combo later, it's just a freestyle though so I'll so how good it goes... I bet it would be easier for someone else.

    uh?

    the whole concept of double video is to make a transition... although it doesnt have to be an aerial.

    here is the first instance of "pen pass" as you call it:

    i think this video dates from August 2005.

  50. Yiep
    Date: Sun, May 18 2008 07:01:21

    I think this is a really close one. I think Toro wins over Ã…lan. I think Hamor and Sfsr wins the double, and Ceedgee vs kUzu is like 50/50.

    @ Zombo: Aah, sweet memories at that video.

    Date: Sun, May 18 2008 09:41:49

    seriously,i dun think swespin will win
    alan vs toro(winner)

    Ceedgee vs kUzu
    both have chances to win,but i think ceedgee is better

    Sfsr & Hamor vs Saizen & Pesp
    is clearly that saizen and pesp video is better,the smoothness,difficulty and creativity is just really better than them

  55. Sfsr
    Date: Sun, May 18 2008 13:28:38

    Dash. This doesn't matter anymore, check the new youtube link a few posts down instead ->

    MY COMBO IN THE DOUBLE VIDEO HAS NOT BEEN CUT. DUE TO LACK OF TIME AT THE DEADLINE I EXPORTED A LOW-QUALITY VERSION OF THE DOUBLE VIDEO FROM PREMIER, WHICH CAUSED A HACK TO APPEAR IN MY COMBO. A HIGH-QUALITY EXPORTED VERSION OF THE DOUBLE VIDEO, WITHOUT THE HACK, CAN BE FOUND HERE -> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PU9VIVBS

    THE SOURCE VIDEO FROM WHICH I CUT MY COMBO CAN BE FOUND ON DAILYMOTION.



    Do I really have to re-upload it to YouTube or can people just read this..? The new video I exported in high-quality shouldn't even be needed, it's obvious from the video with a hack in that it's not cut, if you just look closely.

  56. Zombo

    No, that was just a new style toro employed -- at least I think so. It's a nice style. His pen flick was pretty cool. Can anyone guess how it's done?

    you add PDS, MyPSC, BPST, split the hong kong team, TWPS, and a wild card team (BRPSB, SPSC, VnPSB, PSUK, the other smaller communities)
