I like!
The only critique I could think of is the shooting angle.

Wow, thanks a bunch guys. :) And thanks to Cody for getting this out!

I'm pretty happy with this video, I would just like to see some more variety from myself. Like more spins.

Any critiques are totally welcome and appreciated!

I really appreciate all the compliments, but does anybody have anything that they'd like to see changed (I've been doing a bit more fairy, and I just suck at torque, but I'll get to work on them!)?

Like I said before sweet vid! More spinning and zooming would be nice. What about your swirls and rev swirls? I don't think I remember seeing any of them. Also ducks, dives, weaves zulu could be a kool little twist to your game, if you were to add more of them.

Enjoyed the vid. The only critique I'd offer is that your osis is farther from your body than it should be, and (consequently?) has strange timing. It looks like that makes your torques harder than they should be.

I laughed at Toolan's comment, because I had a similar reaction. :lol:

Thanks for the vid. You're progressing real well.

Really nice shred Zach. Some of those strings were nice and long. You have a good amount of variety. Nice toe blurriest (I don't know the official name for it).

I recommend adding some toe ducking, like ducking mirage and illusion. It's a nice change of pace for long strings and can sometimes offer a little breather for you.

The ending was abrupt. I was hoping to see some thank you message or credits. But that's just what I was expecting.

Thanks for sharing.

yo zac,

seriously, great shred and style throughout. very enjoyable.

I think the osis on that paradox torque was... I dunno, it looked difficult. try to keep it smaller and tighter. Try to find some video of jason crook doing it. talk about perfection!

also, the night shred was not as enjoyable to watch. the daytime shred was very easy to see.

maybe for the next video, a few more surprises? there are SO many easy moves that no one would really expect to see... just an example, maybe try ducking (or muted spinning, or both!) drag instead of clipper. stallburgers, calf bumps, knee bumps, head stalls. Your technical game is looking great, so there's room for some weirdness.

looking forward to the next video. I really enjoyed that one.
BRICK!
