Olaf Special

Ners · Post by **Ners** » 03 Mar 2007 08:30

Two videos are always better then one, so I present a bonus

I recommend it because of a rad shred by Olaf. I'm looking forward to your opinions, also about the editing, as I tried to get a specific result.

Enjoy!

hey i think a lot of people would want to see this but its not downloading for me, and judging by the lack of comments its probably not downloading for anyone else. you might want to try uploading it to some other place lie youtube of fizzied. from footbag.org its downloading at 1.7kb/s for me... 7 hours

Same here. And it's the same deal with the other video you posted.

jay7 · Post by **jay7** » 03 Mar 2007 14:30

Don't mean to burst your guys bubble's, but it downloaded in about 3 minutes (2-400 kb/s) for me off of footbag.org
The other one took about 5 minutes.

On to the videos, I really liked the WRC session. The song and the editting seemed just to flow better for me or something. I guess it felt really natural.

As for this video, it was good as well. When he hit torques, sometimes he barely spun at all. I figured he would do that for all of his tricks, and then I see a blender or two and he spun quite nicely around. Then again, if you can hit that trick at 1:15 (no spoilers here) then I don't think it matters if you spin or not

A few different times I noticed that you zoomed in, either in steps, or really slowly during people's strings. I think that adds a nice effect, almost as if you are concentrating harder.

Thanks for making these videos, they are a pleasure to watch.

You know what's up Ners. Sick as hell video. I loved it.

Olaf can go forever it seems. The last string was crazy.

His body type is like a young justin dales. Tall and lanky, but he makes it work. Crazy.

props.

olaf rocks. He learns things so quickly.

Really liked some of the links, like hard blender tricks>stepping stuff. Can he do PS whirls? i dont think i saw any of those, im sure he could.

Some things i noticed

-A couple (maybe only one) left leg double down was the
-His atomic from left toe looks really weird, i slo moed it, and it looks like on one or two of them he didnt even dex them

Really cool video, liked the music, shred, and editing!

Henry, didn't you see whirlwind in the beast ?

I agree with You,Henry about the double down. that's true blurriest was the, but i don't have reservations about atomics.

Olav, i always liked the lightness with which you do torques. alpine big apple was phat. blenders look good in your game. i want to say that two of three tricks in the beast are a little bit THE - i'm talking about sruging whirl and whirlwind.

The editing was done real well, and while I enjoyed the song a lot it made me wish Christmas was tomorrow

Nice video Ners! great to see such an incredible style. I LOVED gyro diving symp torque! so clean and nice looking. There was a the here and there, but the way I see it:

everyone the's. not everyone's thes make it onto film.

So I don't care. props for trying big shit. I love seeing you crazy poles. I guess a few more toes would make me squeal with glee, but all in all, a good video.

Thanks Ners and olav!

Olav · Post by **Olav** » 04 Mar 2007 13:15

Thank you all for comments, they mean a lot to me!

Ners... I love you for making this video, you've made me such a huuuge surprise as I didn't expect any 'olaf special' thing (I have always dreamed about one though). Liked the editing and music. I owe you a beer my friend!

few more Toe's, PS Whirls, clean Double Downs, some Jorden's trick, trying big shit. OK, I've got the idea for the next video

but Henry... I can't clean my flip? Atomic up because it's... Quantum? (and just one flip? Atomsmasher which is clean...) I've already heard my Quantums are weird, should I change them somehow?

Thanks again
Olaf

HG · Post by HG » 04 Mar 2007 13:17

oh ok thats what it was! haha then no, theyre fine. I thought you were going for atomic, and it looked like atomic, but now that i look again its like.... an atomic motion without the dex, and then a quantum. yeah its weird but there.

Representing the high level of Polish shred as always.

The diving symposium torque was very thin on the dive part. Kurva.

Otherwise, I envy Olav's string length a great deal.
Love.

nice torques and blenders

mikeanello · Post by **mikeanello** » 07 Mar 2007 11:10

Wow, what a nice video. The music was really good and the shred was great. My only suggestion would be to get closer with the camera in the future, but I know this can be difficult when using a stand and having a group session.

Peace.
