East Coasters in October - faster link

david · Post by **david** » 16 Oct 2004 13:06

Normally shredders in PA, NJ, and NY gather about once a month to kick in Sommerville NJ. For this session, Alex Strassman brought his cam along. The next weekend myself and Josh Benham visited him at his house in Long Island, NY, and we filmed more there. The product is a 4:37 vid that includes:

(in order of appearence)
David Clavens (Bethlehem, PA)
Alex Strassman (Long Island, NY)
Josh Benham (Philadelphia, PA)
Chris Kovacks (Sommerville, NJ)
John Schiender (Sommerville, NJ)

The video is 70mb and 4:37. Its really big, but the quality is sick, so I guess it's a trade off. Alex editited the video, so perhaps i can get a smaller version for dial-up people. Its hosted on footbag.org, but that server seems to be going faster latley.

Thanks for watching.

-David, Alex, Josh, Chris, and Jon

Yeah nice work David! Great to see some more footage from you and you're looking really good - I would have liked more outsider footage but that's cool.

I was faced with a nine hour wait for this movie and then David gave me the high-speed link and all the sudden I was watching it.

What a movie!

David and Alex are SO much better than at World's!

David has such a smooth and powerful style, it looks like the creativity and coolness of his strings are just a matter of what he can think up because it all looks pretty easy.

Alex's whooole game is about 30% better than the last time I saw him! Your midstring atomics are really nice and fast, I like your style on them.

And as for style in general you guys have it like crazy!

A few people have pointed out the first string, the one at 2:52 (ish) is effing incredible!!

Great movie!
