Ok, this is my first video, all of it was taken from two sessions on thanksgiving when I was in West Virginia, some of the whirls look bad, and a lot of the strings are very similar with the same links and same moves, so sorry about that.Its my first time editing so I'm still learning everything and I know I didnt choose a good background. Despite all of this, Please give me feedback

Dude, don't worry. Coming from someone at your skill level - its a great first video! Your style seems very casual and efficient. You're hitting spins and ducks I could only wish to. I really liked your stepping whirl (i dont even know what its called!). Also your atomics - good work. You've inspired me.

Lets see some pixie!

Great video Matt! I was watching it and thinking "hmm this guy has a game that just SCREAMS zooming.. I should tell him that" then you bust out zomming clipper BSOS. Then I'm still watching and thinking about how some downtime components feel as if they should be part of your game, components such as eggbeaters, and bam what do you close on??

Anyway, overall I think that your game is very very controlled, meaning that if there are some downtime components that you're not yet comfortable with you will be able to master them with little to no effort. I also think that your game is very well suited to tricks such as downtime dlos drfiters and torques (and eggbeaters).

Great spins and cusk / dives btw.

Matt,
Very cool video. That's so cool that you have that perfect little shred spot right on your front porch. Not everyone is so lucky.

I can see the Luis Monhollon influence in your style (and in Ben's). It results in your movements being silky smooth and completely controlled. Wow. I wish I had that kind of bag control, especially the spinning stuff. Your illusion dexes are super tight, I want illusions like that too. Props on pdx egg at the end there. I enjoyed this video. I know you always hit awesome moves for the online comps each time, so I'm curious to see what you've hit this time, you're probably ready to make the jump from Novice to Open.

What I really want to see is an all-Oklahoma, or just really all-Tulsa video with you, the Rinowski brothers and all 3 of the Monhollon brothers (word on the street is that the younger 2 can rip like no one's business). That would be awesome.

Keep shreddin.

Ben

thanks for the replys everyone!

@Max: Thanks, I am in the process of drilling eggbeaters a lot and trying to learn torques and drifters but I am not grasping them at all, and DLO's are very hard, I'll start drilling all those some more

@Ben:We'll thats not my porch, thats my grandma's porch in West Virginia(thanksgiving), I like it too. I didn't enter the comps this time, just couldn hit anything I wanted to hit.I'm gonna make a vid of Louis, Ben, and Luis from the footage I took from yesterdays session, it might take me awhile though.
