You can write to shop at footbag cz! That's what I did.

I really loved the Ales section. It's pretty massive :)

I haven't seen it, but I wanted to comment on the length of Shred videos in general. One of my favorite videos of all time is "Sultans of Shred". It is something like 2 hours long and packed full of awesome shred and great music. I think that videos with great shred and music can be as long as you can make them. I think it gets too long when the shred and the music turn bad. On the other hand, if you have 5 hours worth of awesome footage and music then make the whole thing 5 hours.

Where can you actually get the Art of the Game?

Done and done..... :D

Man you should check out the special edition Guido has, it has Ken doing his review like a commentery, oh wait, that was Ken eating breakfast a few feet away, doing his commentary while I watched.
I'm not a fan of the headless shredder footage although there are certain exceptions - often a slow-mo/leg focused bit of footage is exactly what you want for certain moves but thats not what the Art footage is. But like many have said there is still some good stuff on there.

I've just watched ART and this is my first impression:

- good choice of music
- you can't compare it with sick 3, it's another style of movie
- Very good shred
- a bit too short :(
- cutted heads, sometimes
- no special effects, but some huge shred!
- the dvd looks very professional
- too expensive

A very good Shredvideo without vasek, but still extremly huge! Buy it! :lol:

i think jeremy mentioned this some other time but i hate it when the first thing people say is "No Vasek". Its rude and theres other players that can blow your mind off as well.

its ok to criticise like camera angles and stuff, but just saying man theres no vasek...a bit rude i say

EDIT: sorry i didnt realise this topic was old :oops:
