Marki:

First, find my impressions about everyone :
Pasha :
This video is definitely one to be named in the most legendary one. The level of difficulty is so high and the control is insane as well.
There were so many new patterns in some of your creations. When it comes to control and difficulty, you’re definitely ranked #1 in my opinion. Also the fact that you can be as good with weak and strong foot is unbelievable. That requires so much work and patience. Well done for this video.
Gabriel Parke :
I enjoyed watching that video so much. I saw some of the most difficult and original combos ever done in sitdown history. When you reach that level of difficulty, it’s of course sometimes difficult to have a perfect control. Control was of course insanely good but if you could improve one thing is sometimes the stability with some stalls (which is insanely hard with some of the combos you landed of course). I also liked how you added some weak foot tricks in your flow. It makes it even better.
Miguel :
I don’t know if execution and control can get even better than that. This is also a must-watch video. You showed some new patterns and new ways of combining the different stalls you have in your wide range of tricks. We can see a lot of inspiration from Cherny and even though you came up with very fresh combos, I wish you could have shown even more different things in your own way.
Nick :
For me this video represents a real new step for you. That’s where I can really see what direction your style is taking. You managed to pull insane combos with both foot (especially with pisy stall). The execution was very good as well. The control is great too but I feel like you can even make it better and more stable.
You opened many new doors for new tricks and I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with this. Great first WPSC Final and I’m pretty confident to say that it’s not the last one.

General impressions (1) :
Huge congratulations to everyone. It might be the best final ever in terms of difficulty. But when we reach such a level in a final, it all comes to details to decide who wins. My wish in the final was to see new combos and evolution of some combos.
General impression (2) :
Pasha did it really well and he managed to step even more his game. Gabby showed some combos that would have never been conceivable. Miguel embodies control and execution. And Nick stepped up his ambidexterity and difficulty.
For me Pasha did almost the perfect video when it comes to control, execution, ambidexterity and difficulty, that’s why I rank him first. Second place goes to Gabriel for me who show why he is one of the best in the world with some of the most difficult combos ever done. Miguel gets 3rd place for me. I conceive it might be hard to rank him 3rd with such a video but it is really tight. Nick is ranked 4th. I think he was a bit inferior to his 3 opponents but damn you improved so much ( you’re not far at all). Potential is huge.
Not an easy one to judge for sure but here is my final ranking:
1. Pasha
2. Gabriel Parke
3. Miguel
4. Nick

Michalix:

1. Gabby
I would like to point out that it was the best and most equal final in the history of the WPSC. All of the movies were absolutely brilliant. I will not point out mistakes to anyone, because they simply were not there. Some competitors simply played stronger tricks/combos and that puts them in one position and no other.
1. Gabby. You did something incredible. Every single clip had the effect of „wow! How is this even possible!?”. This is one of those videos where it’s hard to contain your emotions. I myself shouted several times in disbelief. Phenomenal control. Particularly noteworthy is the use of a real heel stall. The entire video is kept on a highest possible level and the final clips will be shared on multiple occasions on multiple sites over the coming years. You also showed a lot of creativity. You have created lots of original/signature tricks and combinations. I am sure that most of these combos cannot be repeated by anyone else in the world. Style, trick difficulty, creativity, and variety within your chosen style are all things that make up the top spot in my eyes.
2. Miguel
Miguel. Man, I think we can call you a Tom Folan of sit downs! Your style is simply beatifull and noteworthy is the fact that all your films are perfectly edited. If we were to judge films as a whole – including editing, you would have no equal in this tournament. You also never miss when it comes to the music choice. That’s why you remind me of Tom Folan. Lets go back to the freestyle skills, so as I said – every combo that you performed was smooth and very clean. The level of action was also incredibly high. I had the feeling that there was a bit too much nao stall in this video and at some point it started to get very noticeable. Some of these clips could be replaced, for example, with dimetto actions, it surprised me that you decided to not include any classical dimetto combos in this video especially when we consider how insanely good your are at these tricks.
Anyway – I’d love to say „incredible video” but more suitable word to describe your work is „movie”. Pure cinematic experience bro. I would love to give you 1st place but Gabby killed it this year so I put you in 2 place. Btw. I liked the clip from 1:40 the most, ingenious idea. I also loved the editing transition in 1:05.
3. Pasha
3. Pasha. It scares me that I only put someone who showed such a high level in third place, but I had to make a decision somehow. I had the biggest dilemma when choosing the second place because there was the most fierce fight between you and Miguel. 1.29 is certainly not the hardest combo you made in your movie, but I liked how well structured and smooth this combo was. Overall, you’ve shown a lot of creative, original tricks and combinations on an extremely high level of difficulty. I also appreciate the freezes and advanced acrobatics. In Miguels movie there was an overdose of nao stall and in your video I have a similar impression of an overdose of headstand. Anyway – You made a great movie. Already in the previous edition of the WPSC, the fight between you and Miguel was extremely fierce, then you won but this year Miguel gained a slight advantage.
4. Nick
4. Nick. You played beautifully. Great movie, great style, well structured original combinations and I truly respect the fact that you were the only one to play some basics 😀
The only thing that puts you in last place is the fact that your rivals played at an incredibly high level. The difficulty, fluency, and speed of your tricks were simply lower than the rest of the participants. However, this does not make it anything to complain about. I appreciate the controls in Pixy stalls on both legs, I also love the 1.54 trick and the final combo. Respekt bracie.
