Last time playing outdoors this year. It's getting colder all the time.
Not hard shred. Some feelings, enjoy.

Wow....

It´s nice video. Finland is to splendid! I want to see Finland sometimes in future.

And good shred. You shred everywhere.

Assasin from a table, synchronized Symposium Tomahawks.

What is it in 2:30-2:45? It´s hard core shred. Perfect idea!

Thx

Another great video from you, Tuukka! I really dig your videos. Nice
setting, great shred, and your styles are so fun to watch.

Can't wait 'till worlds next year!!

That was so beautiful and creative!

There are so many incredible shots in this movie!

I really liked the silhouette style shots with the sky in the background and the montage>run away shot.

When I read the title of this thread I feared the worst and I pictured someone having a season ending injury on film. This was much nicer than that.

It's the same as 10:36-10:49. The place is a small downhill skiing center and we have there these "anchor"-elevators, which take you up. The thing I shredded on was the thing you throw "the anchor" after reaching the top.
Some kind of stabilizer, so those "anchors" wouldn't swing all over the place or something

And thanks for the feedback everyone, great that you enjoyed watching. I'm trying to get some footage next week, when Jere Vainikka and Juho Marjo come to shred with us. So maybe a vid coming then.

That was so beautiful. Seriously, the shots where you'd pan across and zoom in on guys playing like 200 feet away. Fantastic.

This is some quality work.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention those.

The 'top of the hill looking down' and then the corresponding 'bottom of the hill looking up' shots ruled!

There were SO many cool shots in this movie!

oh I forgot to put it there, but most of the shots were taken by my girlfriend Tutta. So she deserves the credits from that. The ideas like making that long distance shoot and playing in those stupid places were thought up together.

If we are talking about freestyle players (not just kickers, but those who go to tournaments and so on), then I would say something like 50.
But the thing is that the level of playing is pretty high. Everybody's busting well. In FFO we had around 25 players in open division and the level of routines was so high that, only few guys knew that they would get to semifinals. And in the semifinals there was no-one who could have said "I'll get to finals easily" (except Vasek of course).

that was pretty sick.

I really like a lot of your shots, but the camera shake can be distracting. This is just due to handholding the camera, and the natural tremors of humans. I think using a tripod in some of these would make your shots monumentally better.
Manual focus would be nice, too, if you have the option, but I know a lot of cameras these days don't have it anymore. This would let *you* control what's in focus and when, esepcially when your camera is being stupid and refuses to focus on the subject (like when you tried to zoom in on the guy playing on the table from really far away at about 5:00)

Anyway, these are just my suggestions. Don't take them harshly, I'm only trying to help. You had some really good shots in there, especially with the angle of the soft morning (unless it's dusk) light.

Stephen thanks for the feedpack. The long distance shot would have been better with tripod, we just came up with the idea, when it was too late to take the tripod with us. And I don't have an own tripod, but I was thinking of buying one. I just need a very small one 'cos in my opinion the best shots can be taken from below.

One problem I have with my camera is that it hasn't got so good optimal zoom. If I get some money I might buy one of those telephoto lenses. It would help with the long distance shots.

and I know how you all hate shaking. I hate it also. If I would make a video, which I would sell, then shots would be taken with some minitripod.
