You've gotten really solid since I saw you play last. Your variety is very nice and your links are moderate throughout your great run length, with few bails.
Only two things I would like to see from your game, and that's bigger combos (two move combos). And you move around quite a bit when you shred. If you concentrate on staying in one place it ensures that your hitting each move effectively. I know I'm shredding sloppy when I move alot, so I slow it down and try to retain the same position. Other then that though, your progressing nicely.
I'm not going to lie. I thought you were good the first time I just wanted you to make another video. I think everything looked really solid. Your big tricks were phat. Was gansta your first 7? I wouldn't mind seeing maybe some more pdx dlo/egg/bubba/drifters stuff in strings and some of that neat flail/symposium stuff. oh. And toe spinning/ducking.

spinning ducking paradox torque was my first 7. gangsta was my 2nd. if you count xdex there are blurry voodoo and stepping p miraging flail but I'm not a proponent of xdex
Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it. I love seeing you improve.
One critique about the editing: If the position of the camera in your room doesn't matter too much, you might try moving it around after a few good runs, just to switch up the angle. 4 minutes from the same angle, with the same color and a single song gets a little hard to watch.
The shred was interesting throughout, so I didn't care too much about the editing, but it's a small thing thats easy to fix and could improve your vids, so I thought I'd mention it.
EDIT: I agree with Grom about the knee cushioning on some tricks. You could bend a bit more, and that would make it smoother. Still though, top notch stuff.

FINALLY! Someone to tell you what they DON'T like about your style:
So, im not totally sure how to translate what Im seeing that displeases me, but I'll try. I think that when your support leg lands, it is not cushioning you enough. The lack of support leg cushioning or knee bending actually makes your shred seem "choppy" and non-fluid (as if one trick doesn't flow well into the next trick), maybe as if one trick is completed prematurely before its logical flow has ended. Does that make sense?
Ill try to list trick times in the youtube vid so you can re-view it and see which tricks I think are done with improper cushioning.
At 33 seconds, you hit your first spinning whirl and your support leg doesn't bend as much as I think it should. Same withthe flip later on in that string.
Well, it turns out I need to do some work, but I see the lack of knee flex in your drifter tricks as well as in your whirling tricks.
The knee bend you achieve for osis . . . try to get that much for your harder tricks. It will help you to control your sets out of bigger moves.
Just my critique.
