Wow! How many people attended that jam?

I have to say, Brian's style looks kinda European (Finnish?). Good thing.

Nice Tom! Keep swirling. May I request more spins? I think that would really suit your style.

DANKS a lot for that vid!

I was so surprised to see my name in the video section. Can't wait to see the footage - downloading now.

Here's a link to my blog post about this day :)

Edit:
Just watched the video. It's so awesome! The music and the cool intro and outro were great. I laughed so hard at the ripstein high five bonanza. Dan makes the best vids!

Awesome vid. Parsons was hitting some craaazy stuff in there. Nice to see he's still shredding hard.

Sweet long runs from Tom as I would expect. Really liked the run with quantum butterfly and toe whirl>whirling swirl all midstring and smooth.


BTW I might be coming home this weekend so if anyone is up for shred on saturday, and possibly sunday let me know. I'll have more specific details tomorrow.

Very very sweet. Watching this vid, and the previous Klokow vid, makes me really miss when you`d put out vids on VHS. The jam looked awesome.

Some minor constructive criticism: the fisheye looks really cool, but when its zoomed out, it can often be hard to tell how clean moves are. Also, in a couple cases, big moves which were highlighted looked "the" or thin to me. Normally I don`t call "the" on vids, but when it is a slow-moed, featured move, I think it needs to be called, otherwise newbs will think it OK to hit a move with the same degree (lack) of cleanliness. I though the whirl dex on the first montage was thin (pulled back before the whirl completed), and "the" on the second one (toes). Also, the ripstein was shoe-y on both dexes.

Minor complaints though, about an overall great vid. Props to Brian on all the toe symp whirl combos, as well as the longer string length. Tom also has improved a ton since the last footage I`d seen of him, but I think that was reeal old stuff.

More Klokow vids please! :)

I really liked the vid. I thought both Brian and Tom looked awesome, but Brian didn't do almost anything toe, which made me a little sad. :( The fish eye lens and the music worked really well and helped with the overall presentation. I agree that the dex on the montage was sketchy, though I can't say with certainty that it wasn't there (hard to tell). Either way, it was an impressive way to start.

I hope you guys are coming to the Christmas Jam though, cause that'd rock.
