Sthlm Battle Camp - Holmberg vs. Philip Warren Gertsson SEMIFINAL

who is the winner for you?

[Gustav]

Bratte was a bit better I think, however holmberg did well too...

But please stop give appluadse to that stupid trick eclipse, its like a crossover ffs, saves energy and only makes the combo easier.

Although I definitely agree the Eclipse is an overrated trick, saying that it's like a crossover is ridiculous, no offense.

yes ofc but you know when you can do eclipse it will be aobut as hard as a crossover,, you need no power, and it saves so much energy,.. its different from when you do a no touch, even if you know it very good it takes a lot alot energy.... and the ppl(especially noobies) claps more on a eclipse in a combo than a no touch.... thats ridiculous

[BigMac]

the eclipse is an over used trick I never been interested in learning it myself. On topic good battle, pwg is solid as always and holmbergs crab ass combo was stunning!

Yes, I agree it's ridiculous, but at the same time, I find it also ridiculous that after all this time you've been on the freestyle scene, you're still surprised when people who know nothing or very little about freestyle itself and the difficulty of the tricks, are impressed by more attractive tricks like the Eclipse or some acrobatic move than a more technically demanding move.

BTW, just out of curiosity: can you do a proper Eclipse?

[Gustav]

No im not suprised Miran.. where did you get that from ?
no never intrested in learning a flashy version of a crossover ; )

[Miran Pirner]

Thought so... no wonder you're comparing it to a crossover then. You probably wouldn't be if you took some time to learn it. You can't make comparisons of tricks you're not able to perform and therefor don't have a objective opinion on its difficulty.

BTW, about you being surprised, I got it from your replies/reaction. If you're not surprised and understand this, why make a fuss about it?

[Tom]

Go Gustav!

I love Holmbergs NT combo, it's damn beautiful!

kung


its not a comparision in the way you think miran, its just like it saves energy just the way a crossover does, and ive seen freestylers that cant do the most easy stuff in lower do that trick, ive got the impression that it is very easy


I will try it just for you Miran,

[Miran Pirner]

I understand in which fashion you meant it, but trust me, the difficulty is not the same as a crossover. Also, depends from which foot and which you way kick it when you do it in a combo.

I've seen people who can do really high level lowers, but couldn't do heel cross or the simplest of uppers/sits, so it's all down to what you practice and focus on. ;)

[kuminho]

difficult or not, beautiful or not... Dear God please have mercy and let people do whatever they wan't to! All this nonsense about what people think and what they don't. If the majority thinks that an eclipse is awe then leave them be god darn it...
