Sorry, it's way too long and I forgot to cut in between the two bedwetters. Also that one midstring swifter is totally the. If you watch enough to see me in both shoes please vote for which style you think is better.

It's like 10 minutes long, 150 mb. From two weeks ago. I'll upload it to Google video or Vimeo or something later today, but I'm just posting it here for now.

Enjoy.

The music is by Massive Attack (Man Next Door and Teardrop).

Comments, especially critiques, welcome.

Its hard to say which style is better. You played so well in both and both looked fine. But I'm voting for the quantums. There was something about them that seemed a tad better with them.

I'd also like to see a bit more zooming from left osis. The majority of the zooms seemed to be from right side (unless I only paid attention to those ones).

I thought having a lot of those pickups in there was good and got away from the PLO norm.

Worth the 10 minutes

Your style looked, pretty much identical to me. The Gunits didn't even seem to make your density or trick selection go anywhere, which was surprising. I didn't vote.

Really long strings, alot of genuine, consistent highlights throughout, alot of shuffle variety past ripwalk->blur->parkwalk*rpt. I'm impressed.

Again, most impressed by the long strings that had many different tricks all around.

Curious Question: Do you spend more time doing strings, or drilling during your sessions now-a-days?

Thanks guys.

Yeah, I've been drilling flip zooming but it's just not coming out in my strings for some reason - I'll have to make it more conscious. Thanks John.

And Jay - thanks for the comments. Mostly I do strings, but I have also have drill sessions. For videos I don't do drills very often. Maybe I'll make a drills video some time?

I didn't watch all of it yet because I was actually going to go shred as I got this, but it seemed like you use ducking here and there but rarely diving/weaving/zulu. Easy components that add variety, which is already pimp!

Good work, I liked what I saw and will finish this later

My favourites are your swirl tricks. You make them look really good. Paradon swirl BSOS was a highlight for me. There was ONE spinning whirl, I think, and that really stood out to me as a real mix-up from your usual fare. Also a couple symp mirages which looked really good and unconventional.

I'm not sure about style... I almost want to say the first shoes (Quantums?), but that I like the colour better of the G-Units.

Also, nice shirt

i definitley liked the quantums better... it might just be cause i like white better than black, but w/e. i can understand why youd like playing in those specific units though... thats pretty rad.

your ps whirls looked a little strained... thats the only criticism i could come up with. i agree with erik, your swirl moves were boss, and i like that you use legover, pickup, mirage, and illusion all evenly. shuffle just looks intense like that.

massive attack rocks... but you stole eoghans music =]

I liked the Quantums better.
Your game just looks more smooth to me in Qm than in Gunits. I really like the length of your strings and the variety of different sets you're able to involve into them. Your quantum sets look pretty awesome.
Thanks for that really long video, you're one of my favourite players to watch.

Darn i want to watch this too.But megaupload tells me to finish the other download im doing but im not dling anything :(

Post by **Zac Miley** » 25 Feb 2009 16:28

I tried to upload it to vimeo but it wouldn't let me for some reason, I made an account and then every time I tried to upload it the browser froze. Sorry Aleksei and anyone else who wanted to watch it. :\

I've succeeded downloading the video this morning.

I want to say that i really enjoyed watching it.You have definatly improved Zac.Loving all the good controlled varied pixie tricks and the zooming action.

I liked the G'6 game more.I dont know why.It just looks better to me

nice links also quantum drifter>pdx blender

smoke>vortex

Add some spinning/ducking variotions of osis and maybe more dlo and eggbeaters and just downtime trick combos(toe whirl>dlo>drifter>bubbabeater>paradon) that kind of stuff
