agentQ said:Alright, had a feeling you would be bringing this up... So lets do it.
First off, me saying that was a _guideline_, using words like "I think"
"cranks should". This was an attempt to push the level of ridding and
not setting a sub par standard for how we classify tricks. If we said
at the begging that 1.75 flip will count we are selling ourselves short
before we even start. My flip was a bit over 1.75 and I left the
ground at a bit over 1.75. Anyway Thats what I got, I uploaded it and
awaited feedback on whether it looked acceptable or not. Perfectly
allowable by our rules.
That being said lets move on.
I would say you are being a bit [censored] here. I personally feel that my
video shows a clear enough double flip. I would not have posted it in
the manor that I did if it hadn't. Even if the flip is not landing with
the cranks horizontal, its pretty clear that it is a double flip.
Although, I am willing to hear opinions, 'sall good. I did not break
any rules or anything, just may have opened my mouth a bit much😄 . I
just tried real hard to land my first acceptable double. I think it
went pretty well.
It should:eek: are you new here? You broke the 1st and most important
rule of these comps. Dude, you know how these comps work. You are
seriously gonna claim your video should count after being quoted saying
that you have landed a double. Bahahha. No hard feelings or anything,
but id say an apology is more in line than claiming your video should
count. Sorry, you do not qualify for this comp... no need to be upset,
its a trick you can already do. You are already a winner.
Anyway, your doubles and nice and clean. Good job, you catch them very
nicely.
I havnt actuly seen your vid so I wasnt saying it shouldnt count, I was
just saying that from what everyones saying it sounds like it wasnt
full.
I honestly think I should qualify although Im not realy that bothered,
I landed it. If anyone else had actuly seen my flip all that time ago
they wouldnt have said I landed it. Im sure it didnt spin near 2 revs,
my feet landed on something then I hopped to the side and fell. You
know what its like when you land a new trick, you get excited, you tell
people about it, even if its as sketchy as hell, well thats what I did
as I was excited because I fluked it. That was then I try not to do the
same anymore.
This was so long ago that I had honestly forgotten that I actuly had
"landed" it and I hadnt tried since because I was learning other tricks
and I didnt think it was worth trying for another double because I was
so far off.
Like I said before If I could land doubles already I would definatly
have put them in ne of my vids and if I could land doubles all that
time ago you dont think I would have put them in any of my last like 3
vids? 6 months, If I could land them back then i would easily have them
down sets by now.
This is like someone trying to do a 180 unispin, they land sort of on
the tyre and fall then like months later they enter a competition like
this for a 1 spin and win it.
Im not apoligising where I havnt done anthing wrong.
Im not bothered, If you think im getting angry or anything Im not. Im
just trying to set it straight.
I dont care if you were to take first I just want you to uderstand this
/\/\/\ is the truth and I hadnt cheated or anything and I was abiding
by the rules.
