nice video, you seem to have a very solid foundation, which is a very good thing :).
Im not the best, but from first glance, i think you should try and stand a little straighter when trying to execute moves, at times you stood straight pretty good, but other times you seemed to have been completely bent over, straightening your self will help you improve i think. :)

also with your osis, i think it would make it easier if you waited a little longer before you try to go cross body with it ;)

nice video, i love the sound of lavers on pavement.

Welcome to modified ;)

I'm really happy to see someone playing in Eygpt thats really cool.

As for your shred, you do have a very good fondation, learning all of the basic moves and getting them really solid is the best way to start. A lot of people tend to try tricks that they really aren't ready for when they first start. The only tip i can think of giveing you is you seem to fall back on your heels sometimes which is not a good thing, i noticed on your harder links you didn't do it but on the smaller tricks you were flat footed some of the time. That will hurt your game and slow improvment try your best to always stay on your toes always bouncing.

I didnt see the hunching as too much of a problem if at all, though hunching will wear you out qiucker. As you seem to have already discovered (as in the paradox mirage) that there are multiple styles of doing each trick. I noticed you were doing pdx mir no plant style and shuffle style. Try to school every trick in both styles if possible.
