Post by david »

I went home for break and got some footage of my friend and shred partner Mike Toolan. Hope you like it. Leave him comments if you like his shred.

TOOOOOOOLLLLLLLMMMMAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Downloading, comments later. :)

EDIT: Sicksicksick.

Awesome style, I really like your paradox whirls. You kinda just stick your leg out there and the bag dexes itself. Sick.

Scorpion's Tail was awesome.

Do more shuffle strings, instead of hard trick>osis a bunch of times.

I really liked it though! Weee!

I really liked the opening. Even 10 seconds of production makes a bunch of difference, although I would like to see what the building you were headed towards was.

Shred was great and fun to watch. I liked your whirling swirls and your drifters looked surprisingly effortless.

It seems like your hair got surprisingly darker when in front of the blue gym separator thingy. Did you dye your hair? I didn't even recognize it was you from the dc1 vid.

Was there a scorpion's tail? I completely missed it @___@
I LOOOOVEEE your swirls! You make those far symples look soooo easy. And whirling swirls. Whirling swirl is my dream move. I kept waiting for a flip swifter too. So cool. Awesome stuff, Mike :D
Thanks for the video, Dave!

Brian the guy in the video is Toolan, not DC. That is why his hair looks different. I could understand you being confused, since they look very similar. Also Dave taught Mike to play so his style his similar too.

Erik, Scorpion's is the first trick in the vid.

Props on having dyno as a bail. Very nice spins, cool to see a lot of them.

So you are super awesome, and way better than me but... My one comment is that I didn't see any illusions. I'm not sure if they just didn't make it into any of the runs that ended up on video, but I didn't see any (or eggs, blizzards, etc.). I noticed Mike bails to pdx mirage quite a bit, would be cool to see a pdx illusion thrown in there instead once in a while.

Glad to see you guys got a chance to shred together over the holiday. I'm sure it was heaps of fun.

Hey Man, nice shirt!

I really admire the swirls. Everything in this video seems so low to the ground and fast. The statement about bails to dynos and the other one about lots of paradox mirages seem to reinforce what I know firsthand about hitting tricks low to the ground. Seeing more illusion (which I suck at) stuff would be nice, but so would ducking and diving.

It's too bad you weren't around for Cornell or the NYFA jam.

There, I knew it wouldn't take long for Mike to get better than me!

Looking great!

There were many things worth giving props for, keep it up!

The beginning of the video looked strangely familiar :wink: Nice combos, good to see you throwing more 5's. Props for Scorpion's Tail and Blurriest midstring. Keep up the good work :)

I know. His hair gets way darker when in front of the blue background. Its probably just the lighting.
