Vertax is rubbish

[Hathaway]

The two diabolo excalibur grind column in 40 below Pt. 2. Watch it if you think vertax is rubbish.

That actually makes me think even worse of vertax...

I hate vertax 

I wholeheartedly stand by my original sentiment.

[Marko]

The 2diabolos in vertax is generally not a good thing. If you go for numbers it's never gonna be anything more than, "I bet he/she can't do one more..."

I like the idea about vertax. But yea, otherwise it's totally rubbish.

[gravity]

it is 100% personal prefrence but i have never turned my nose up at eny style of diabolo i practice body moves, slacking, 2d an vertex an now arfter 3 years im reaping the rewards. the way i see it evry new trick i learn the betta i get an same for you lot im shure.

[wgm]

not trying to start a big argument here- but i think this is kind of a dumb thread. if anyone cares that much about what style of diabolo other people do they need to forum less and diabolo more 
EDIT: im not trying to start an ANGRY argument. if you disagree with me feel free to say so

[Marko]

So basically you're saying that people should do diabolo only for themselves. And that focusing on the social aspect of diaboloing (this case talking about diaboloing) means that you're not juggling enough. Yet you are yourself commenting on a thread you claim not to care about?   

On the topic also, i believe this is more to gravity. "...but i have never turned my nose up at eny style of diabolo..." But still you don't practice all of the styles as much. So all i'm saying is that everyone of us prefers something and likes to practice something. We are all choosing styles we like to play even when we could practice everything. Like i don't practice loop diabolo (1d and 2d in loop, no sticks fellas) almost at all. So isn't that the same as turning your back on some style? Or does the turning the nose here mean "talking bad about some style", in which case i understand better.

For both of these, well i'm just trolling to see where this ends up. Not meaning to be mean for anyone.

[wgm]

im not saying not to be social- but we shouldnt tell other people what style they should be doing. if i told all the people in my juggling club how they should be juggling they would not go anymore.
sorry if its hard to understand what i'm trying to say, i find it hard to have conversations over the internet (but that dosen't mean they aren't worth having)


disregard the statement about the forum- you are right marko

[EvIlAlEkSi]

I'll just leave this here.

[Jasper]

i dont think excalibur is rubbish, I even like it and if your doing excalibur duo its even more nice =]
why dont u guys like it then?

[bourgeois.jason]

Because I enjoy performing, I practice what I know will please a crowd.  Vertax, even if it's simple, generally pleases a crowd of non-diaboloists.  To please a crowd of diaboloists, the vertax skill needs to be at a certain level that I have not attained, yet.

I say that to make this point... If practicing vertax helps you achieve your diabolo goal or goals, it is not rubbish to you.  My goal is to please whatever crowd I am in front of, and vertax helps me achieve that goal.

If you like vertax, keep doing it.  If you don't like vertax, keep abstaining.  It makes no difference to me.

Nev, what do you mean, you hate vertax? What about the fans??

Vertax Fans are pretty rubbish really, hard to get into and sloppy at the best of times...
And you need to understand sarcasm on the internet a bit better.

I've only been Diaboloing for a couple months and relly getting into it, after seeing a tutorial about doing Vertax Genocides and Infinite Genocide, I became hooked on trying to get the diabolo even onto vertax is insanely hard!!

Something to aim for I suppose.

[Marko]

Just a thought. Vertax is clearly rubbish. If it weren't rubbish we would see lots of videos focusing only on vertax tricks.

I don't think so.
But anyway, watch the last video by hooker (I think is called 'Awake') and you'll see that vertax is not rubbish.
Or the last year videos by LKQA and his friends.

If i remember right, M4U does got a whole vid of only veratx called vertax games.

[Hathaway]

I'm afraid that for me whilst Hookers vid did have some new vertax stuff it just showed how unpracticed and sloppy that vertax is...

[Jasper]

I dont think vertax is rubbish i really like it.

@ marko, ppl just dont do so much vertax because everybody knows diabolo as "not vertax" and with vertax you can do less tricks
