7 megs, 4 minutes

The eggbeaters and dlos hurt my hip, and the double downs hurt my knees :(

Nice runs Erik. I really dig your style. It such an inspiration to see you recovered so well from your injury. Watching you play really makes me want to skool my dexless.

Some constructive criticism on the video: maybe you could move your camera to different spots a couple times a session? 4 minutes of black and white tripod footage from the same angle, all of the same player, can be a little difficult to watch.

I also thought the music didn`t go with the shred at all. Not saying the music was bad, just that it didn`t mesh with the on-camera action. The low key music, combined with the tripod footage didn`t hold my attention very well.

Thanks for the video, it`s always great to see you play.

Niiiice run length yo!

Who's the person sitting at the table around 1:00? Is it a person? Your editing made it look like (s)he/it appears out of thin air and vanishes the same way. Spooky!

Other people have said this before, but your style is pretty Lon-like. Lots of BODY stuff with occasional shuffle.

Request: I'd love to see more toe tricks! (if that's no strain on yer ol' bones)

Just downloaded and watched. Great stuff Erik.
My favorites ere the super easy eggbeaters noth sides and the spinning ducking run.
Still keeping in the same format of your game I think that ducking / diving osis would be a nice addition. Maybe drifters also as they're cool to spin out of.

Anywaym it's always great to see a vid of you shredding!

wow Erik! This is really inspirational! I love your confidence, it is very very impressive.

Your bothsidedness is absolutely admirable! I have nooooooooooooo idea what side you feel stronger on on any of your tricks.

I felt like the music went well with your shred, don't listen to silly Ken. :)

I like how you sprinkle in unexpected tricks and cool links like BAP drill and osis>blur and stuff.

Your runs are FOREVER long!!!! I am waaaay jealous, I envy your control so much.

Your game makes me want to work alot more on my dexless stuff, you make it look so great and overall very balanced between all the different concepts.

Go Erik! :D
