Hackrifice: First Day Out: Erik Chan

And a Manna segment coming soon.

This is probably the best I've ever played on video. I'm super happy with it :D YouTube isn't quite processed yet (at the time of writing this), but I'll embed it anyway and it will work when it's ready to work:

Really, really, loved that a lot.

When did you get your double downs so solid?

I love this string of videos you've been putting out. Keep em coming!

awesome erik! you rule. Thanks for putting this out. you looked great.

I liked how you didn't "dumb down" your shred for the people watching. I always go for really long strings of really easy stuff with slow style, but you just kept on busting huge.

thanks :)
BRICK!

I don't know if you noticed, but there is still snow on the ground.


Nice stuff :wink:

oh my god, Erik. Just incredible. I read what you wrote before I clicked play so I had really high expectations. . . Shattered. So happy to see barflies (so right away I was smiling) and some of those power combos were insane. And I appreciate you putting it up on .org as well. I'll have to download this. Thanks!

Sweet vid! The bag was very visible against the background, and you wearing all black clothes somehow made you look badass :) Great combos, nice music.

Thanks a ton for the comments, guys. It really made my day!
The song is a remix of a folk singer from Montreal, Coeur de Pirate. The song is Comme des Enfants.

Erik, wow! Great stuff! I agree with Matt about the not "dumbing" down the tricks in your string while people were watching!

It's great to see some nukes from you again! I remember a couple of years back on a Christmas Calendar vid with you and Johnny where you bust quite a few nuke tricks! They go really well with your style imo.

More, please :D

That was awesome! I really enjoyed the variety and density of your combos. It's nice to see some double dexes and nuclear. As always rev whirls and other creative stuff were great. Props! :)

Thanks again, guys.
I think it was somewhere between 2 and 7 degrees celcius that day. We got a blizzard, like, the next day, though, so back to indoors and the cold.
