I don't wanna bitch and moan or anything but

1) Is Eddeman even active?

2) Dannye.. I know you're on the forums

You know correctly - I got a bit of free time today so I should be able to get it done. If I dont then definately tomorrow cause its my day off.

@X: Regarding Eddeman, I assume he is active because he hasnt told us otherwise. Seeing as last week he did his voting on the Friday, I gather its one of the few bits of free time he has at the moment and will probably do this week's voting also on Friday. (I am just guessing though).

Xtramus: Very original idea in that it was an upsidedown skimmer grind. Very creative idea in that you chose the top of one of those billboards to grind rather than something like a thin wall or a rail. The fact that you were able to turn yourself upsidown and aim yourself, in such close proximity to the target itself was impressive. The grind itself was nice, well, as nice as a skimmer grind can look I guess. Shame about the gap that existed between the two boards because a longer length grind would have been cooler. Although its very irrelevant, I just thought of a nice idea - go at it from the other direction, grind those signs, and then keep going and grind the two (lower height) signs afterwoods as well.

Kenny: Nice looking psm setup. Short runnup made the great air time even more impressive - good height, and very nice looking spin/flippage. The grind itself was also quite nice, locked on quickly and easilly, and continued to grind right until the end. This combo had a nice smooth flow to it which I liked.

My Vote: I am sure X knew when trying this stunt that his vehicle choice had the potential to be the Achillesâ€™ heel for his stunt, and yet, he kept at it and submitted the stunt anyways, he opted for a chance to be original and creative even though it might possibly lower his chances at winning the battle - and I really respect that. That said, although X's grind was great, it was great 'for a skimmer' (as I said earlier), and looking at both stunts I just cannot honestly say I prefer his stunt. Kenny gets my vote because, to me, it is a more impressive grind stunt. A message to all competitors, even though I am voting this way, DO learn from what X did, he chose to do something 'different', and I reckon that sort of thinking is very useful, and although I voted the way I did, I DO think there will be matches where trying something new and original will be a big advantage - so next time you are looking for a stunt, at least consider taking a page out of X's book. Congrad's to you Xtramus for sticking with his guns, good luck to both of you in your future matches.

Kenny and X must be having multiple heart attacks, what a thrilling match this has turned out to be!

This is how Fox and I ended up...2-2 waiting on eddeman

Kenny: A smooth PSM2grind with a krail thrown into the mix, can't say it was a very original spot but it was nicely executed.

Xtramus: Nice idea, didn't see that one coming. Grind was on the short side cause the edge nuged you, but I've never seen anyone grind with a skimmer like that (except for neogloups thingy, not really a grind maybe but w/e).

Wasn't really a tough decision for me personally, I've decided to give my vote to Xtramus. Although Kenny's grind was real smooth it's not really a hard stunt cause it's a psm, and Xtramus stunt had that special touch that makes you say niiice.

WOOOOT!

Thanks for the votes guys, and thanks to Kenny for being a gruelsome challenging opponent

I'd salute you if there was a fucking smiley to express it with (or am I just missing it?)

Dannye · « **Reply #70 on:** March 01, 2007, 02:20:09 PM »

Great match guys, well done to both of you.
