Hey,

If you remember, back in like, March I posted a video entitled B-town 1 when Alex Strassman from NY came down to shred. Well, 2 weeks ago he came down to play again. Here is the best stuff we hit over the weekend.

We hope you enjoy our video and hope to see everyone at chilly philly.

Peace,

David Clavens and Alex Strassman

thanks mike for hosting!

P.S Alex froze the last shot so i look really stupid. I don't normally look like that in real life.... i hope.

Well I wasnt as impatient as the others here, so i checked it out:

Good stuff!! Yes the pixie set looks fine, and you have some pretty crazy combos going on there.

Alex too has gotten better.

Im impressed!

first link seems broken or is it me?. I'll edit a comment once download finishes
Great shred, I wish I had only as much free space in my room so I could play more easily..
Good music as well !

Great video guys. Alex I really love your style, it looks like you could certainly force out some harder links and moves, but you opt instead for consistent and smooth links. It seems when you are linking more 4s and 5s you will just be so smooth and precise. That is the way to go. Nice juggling too! Props on mobius at the end!

David: Wow, you are the man. Keep that up, I wish I could have as many 5s in my runs as you. Soo smooth as well, really good stuff. Nice ripstien sealed to a run! Overall run length was fantastic given the difficulty. I really liked... hmm I think it was pwhirl>pwhirl>pdrifter and barfly>barfly>ddd in the same run. I may be a bit off cause I only watched it once so far, but I was really impressed.

Better go watch it again.

Thanks guys, that was a really cool video to watch on christmas.

HOLY COW!!!!! Strassman is shredding guiltless!!! I'm sooo pumped.
Way to go fella's, GREAT vid! Need to shred.....NOW!

edit: Just watched for the 10th time. Alex's last run was EPIC!!!! and yeah dc's scorpions>whirling swirl was vasek-esk! Props homies!

Nice video indeed.

I love that song, and I always love watching the two of you bust, as you both seem so controlled and smooth.

It was really cool to see how you both got excited over each other's accomplishments on a couple of the lines.

Sweet vid.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 25 Dec 2004 18:38

holy shit!

You've both gotten so fast and precise. Crisp and definite.

I really like your bounce David, you have a nice rythm when you play. And that ripstein was sick! scorpions tail>whirling swril??

I love your double downs.. and your whirls and your spinning and your torques, good shit david.

Alex, I am really impressed with your constant progression too! Your shuffle has that same Strassman Sass it had before, you look really confident with everything you do.

I also really like the song choice, The Postal Service seems to fit shred well.

Hey I just thought of something, was there a single duck in the movie?
Oh well, I am sure you both dominate in that regard too.

Keep slaying dudes, you guys are big motivators for me.

BalinorNZ · Post by **BalinorNZ** » 25 Dec 2004 23:27

Very cool vid

Love the juggleing, love the last shot... oh and love that footbag!

you're styles are really choppy, you both need to work on smoothness:lol:. just kidding. the video was playing really really choppy for me for some reason (i had all programs shut down, and it was still super choppy) i couldn't handle watching it, it was driving me crazy. i did see the barfly> barfly> ddd. i was like "Ohhh, snap!" and i think i saw gyro mirage (or spinning mirage) bs from alex, which i haven't seen him do much of, which was pleasantly surprising! i'll see if i can't get it working, and then i'll edit this with some real coments... merry christmas?
