Wow, smooth shred here!
The editing and the music were great but filming was not. I prefer watching the whole player, not just their legs.

Are they playing with crochet footbag in the beginning of the video?

Maybe a juggling ball? Just in the opening scene?

This was so awesome, Kevin!! I was hoping too see more of your cool creative effects, though. Like Ales says, I hate shred where you can't see the whole body, but you know what? This video was so awesome that it didn't bother me at all!!! It was very refreshing -- it's like there was no time to get bored of anything -- how could you?? Great music, awesome shred (cannot understand all of those moves Jorden hits...the "gyro inside stall" ones? Or whatever... looks like an ankle-messer to me >_____<)
It was totally worth the wait for the footage!!
Thank Kevin!

Awsome vid!!!!! :P

Good: IMO the three best shredders in north america going at it!!!

Bad: In the first run most of the double downs are the'd.

Yeah that was a great video, thanks for making it Kevin :) I really like your editing style, everything is like in a perfect routine - totally to the music :D All the transitions made the video look very dynamic and fast. Good choice of music. And of course it was great to see such good players bust all this crazy stuff. Jim is crazy good!

Sick vid!

But..
A bit overedited for my taste, but great footage!
I think the editing, the fast cutting and music fitted Jordens unique- and Penskes aggresive style really great. But i dont think it pays enough credit to Lonns crazy smooth long runs.

I'm going to go ahead and agree with you. :) For the more intense bits in the music, I was always looking for Jim stuff to use...such an aggressive style, I think it worked great.


Thanks everyone for the comments. I definitely didn't give this video my all..wasn't really feeling it, but decided that I should get some Seattle footage online, as no one else has thus far.

I agree with most of the negative comments. :P ...Although I actually like filming such that you cannot see the whole shredder. I'd rather focus on segments of their body, and show their entire body over the course of the whole video. I don't know, maybe just my style. Hackrifice was filmed the same way.


I disagree that most of the dd's in the opening shot are the. Maybe the last one, but I think he dropped that one anyway. :P

Colin, Sympro is kind of a new name. I was going to go with that name for Hackrifice, but changed at the last minute for some unknown reason. I think I will not change again. :D

Again, thank you everyone for the kind words, it's cool when people appreciate my putting this shit together.

Furthermore, anyone like the Red cameo? :D heh




Note: Edmonton players are poor, and we spent a lot of money to get to Seattle...if you'd like to help support our tourney endeavors, please buy a SHREDMONTON 2005 shirt. :) Details to come shortly.

Yeah. I caught a Byrin cameo too :D
I pictured Red making his next video with more awesome footage when I saw him with the camera too. Whose was the big camera -- that wasn't Eli was it? It looks like his smile, minus the cap.

Thanks for making the vid Kevin! I was too busy shredding to watch the big names so I was counting on this video for some phat action. I was the opposite of thwarted in expectation. My favorite transition was somewhere in the middle where Jim hit a trick and Nick Landes was about to give him props, but then gave him stop-frame props to this weird zeeeeeeeoooooom sound effect instead. My favorite trick was Jorden's doubledownish walk over.

I love watching Jorden's creativity...he has got to be the most creative player I've seen...and that he is good enough to actually do the crazy stuff he comes up with!

Enjoyed the vid...

I had to comment again. I've watched this video several times, and each time, I find myself yelling at it...

"NO way!!!"
"Whaaaaaa!!!"

Stuff like that. Such intense shred. Waaaugh!

it's a blurriest ending in a monster. Monstrometer (not really the name :roll: )


DUDE, nice kevin! It's funny because at 2:10, I just like stopped the circle I was playing in and watched Jim go off, I'm sure everyone else was with me on that one though :wink:

What's even more funny is there was way more crazy shiz hit. One time I looked over after picking the bag up to see Jorden hit triage bsos. Crazy fun time, great video Kevin.
