Couple of interesting stunts here.

SabotagE: An ok stunt, pretty old and not too impressive. But considering the limitations of the challenge, it was alright. Height and distance was pretty mediocre. Landing on that higher part of the roof was a plus.

Turtle Dick: Looked more like an SA stunt. I didn't know you could land on that. As far as I know the stunt is new, but not very impressive. No real difficulty on the bump but the landing was fairly tough.

I think Sabotage's stunt, although old was still more impressive than TD's. I felt aside from the landing, there really wasn't much of a degree of difficulty in TD's stunt. My vote goes to SabotagE.

SabotagE: Props on getting a decent bump on what looks to be a kinda annoying object to bump off. Not much height off it, but not having any experience with that bump myself I dont really know whether its hard or not. Nice (somewhat) precision landing too.

Turtle Dick: Going through the pickup in mid-air was kinda cool. A nice precision landing, made even nicer by the fact that it involved having to land on the BB, hitting it in such a way to turn you perpendicular to the direction of which you were moving in. Nice little stunt.

My Vote: Its clear that this was a tough challenge, I guess it ain't easy to find a really good stunt in which you pass through a pickup. It may also make it harder if you use my scm that removes some of them . I am going to give my vote to Sabo - to me it seemed a more impressive stunt, while TD's landing did look cool, thats really all he had, the extra elements of Sabo's stunt and the less-good-but-still-good precision made it look cooler.

I'm not posting this to "save" TD or anything, but SabotagE posted his way after the deadline. It's up to the judges to decide what to do about it, I guess.

I didn't even think to check.

I am sure NoAP will come here (and DF v X thread) and straighten things out asap.

EDIT: I am glad NoAP is still here to clear it up, because I always seem to calculate things wrong when dealing with timezones. I actually tried to calculate this one, and it appears I am wrong again, because I got Sab submitting it just in time. I trust your calculations more than mine Tack, I wonder why I always get it so wrong?

Oh, maybe it was the one who told me who counted wrong. He said I posted my stunt just minutes before the deadline, so I assumed everyone who posted after was too late.

EDIT:
It would've been so much easier if he could write like "Deadline: 72 hours from this post", or something... That way we only need to check the date of the first post, then add three days.

That stunt turd did is a bitch, a very annoying precision landing. Sab's stunt is old I think? (and apparently that means something going by my earlier matches haha)

Turtle Dick:
awesome precise landing, that thing was quite thin but you managed to land on it with quite a distance. also you went through the pick-up in the air which is more harder.

SabotagE:
nice precise too, although the stunt was old, that landing zone was new.

i'm glad to see 2 precise stunts in this match. TD's landing area was smaller and his air made landing on it harder since he reached it when he was loosing height already, not while gaining height.

My vote: Turtle Dick

Turtle dick - What a great stunt . Nice find. Good job landing on that little BB there.

Saboyotage - Landing area is bigger than TDs BB, but u still used very little of it. IMO it was harder than TDs
since this bump is kinda annoying, and its a bump, not a ramp.

My vote: TD, looked better to me, rampage pick-up thing, was in the air, and that made angle a bit harder, lol.

Great match guys, it was hard to decide.

TD's landing was thick lol, if the cols were correct, then I'd say TD's was better but Sabo's gets my meaningless vote

Eddeman · « **Reply #27 on:** March 30, 2007, 07:33:40 AM »

TD: Nice work landing on that one, though the distance didn't really impress me I still think it's a cool stunt.

Sabotage: Old bump spot but well executed, and you landed the higher part of the roof which is more precisionish.

I'm gonna give my vote to Sabotage, cause he had more impressive height and distance, and it was a bump. Also the cols on TDs sign are pretty much like a box which takes away some from the stunt.

Nice work guys.

Laketown · « **Reply #28 on:** March 30, 2007, 07:44:56 AM »

WOO, SABOTAGE!

TD woulda been gone next week anyways, he's in barcelona.

NoAPOlogies · « **Reply #29 on:** March 30, 2007, 01:42:07 PM »

SabotagE's stunt was submitted 5 hours before the deadline so its ok.
