holy shit, I must have been living under a rock until now. Evan, you're amazing and I had no idea up until this video. I'll definitely make sure I watch everything you put out on vid from here on. Loved the editing too.

Evan it's so funny, videos of you are so rare everyone always forgets who you are. Maybe stick around modified some more eh? Share some of your fairy gyro wisdom, or whatever else you got for us.

The Alan video is from February of 07? What? I think I've seen it before. Was this a mistake?

Anyway the EG movie totally smokes my entry coming up tomorrow... but please still watch it.

Evan is sick. It's not often I say "WHAT?" when i watch videos, so you got at least 2 whats out of me from that vid, props to you. I think this might be my new favorite of the vids so far.

Evans vid was soo sick. Your trick variety is really remarkable. I saw so many different kids of things. I realy enjoyed the first song as well.
Overall great video. Thanks for that.

I thought the day 14 video was remarkable in terms of the shuffle variety and such. I love seeing fairy tricks, and it's awesome you throw so many into your runs, props, and make more videos.

Wow, with so much hair I hardly recognized him!

Was this shot with that insanely thick/dense 32 he practises with?

I liked the video Ben, the next time I'm in Houston I'll definetly make arrangements to get to Austin somehow.

i'm just gonna keep echoing how good evan is. dang. props sir.

thanks for making the video, ben - even though we should include footage of everyone next time, but whatever.

and jay, that session was NOT with one my crazy dense ultrasuede practice bags. haha, i remember getting up in the mornings during worlds and having warmup sessions with that thing to get the blood flowing - and you being like "wtf kind of bag is this?."

Aww. I kept meaning to comment on these videos.
I look forward to midnight every day! (Thank you Zeb!)

The German champs was sweet. Stefan's routine was one of the most entertaining I've ever seen. Like some people said it was really different. It was kind of weird when Yves did a similar thing though? Juggling or something? It's been a few days. Yves was obviously sick too -- that consistent shuffle in a routine?? I didn't really dig his routine, but that shred... I love watching both players a lot, and it's neat to see Yves' new expanded trick repertoire!

Oh yeah, then Alan's video. I remember liking the music and wanting to comment that you have great taste in music ;) I also really loved the toe set dynos. That is a STYLEY trick! I remember your last videos seemed to have longer strings though? Anyway, it was fun to see you shred again.

I don't know if I'm missing one, but the Evan special was so sick. I really liked it. The second song was a little annoying, but not super lots. I love watching Evan shred. I had a dream last night that Evan was performing at Worlds or something (but it was in that same living room for some reason) and Vasek gave him a standing ovation and ran over and freakd out over how good he is and stuff. Hehe. At Worlds someone said that Vasek liked his style, and Evan was all modest and, like, "No way." Anyway. Awesome. That's gonna be one to rewatch a lot of times!! actually, I wanna watch the tone to the Star Wars song again now too!

I also really love watching Cody play. He is soooo smooth. I saw him playing barefoot at Worlds, but didn't realize that he's an exclusively barefoot player now? Is he? The whole time I just kind of was worried that he was tearing up the soles of his feet on the concrete. I wanted him to move onto the grass! But yeah, great stuff. I loved the spinning stuff. Gyro mirage > legbeaters were neat. The double dex run was sweet. Fun stuff :D

ha, not very "in the christmas spirit" were they?

nice shred, ben. solid looking stuff. i liked the spins, in particular. good big tricks too, and both sided! only comment shred wise is your osii looked pulled and scoopy on one side, but very solid looking game other than that. i enjoyed the song, that's such a great movie! i though there was too much standing around in the video, editing wise, and it could have been trimmed out. The ending was spectacular. "YOU THINK I'M A FAILURE AT LIFE???" priceless!

Cool video Ben, i was thinking if you're going to do a handstand again while the intro and there you did.Props, spinning ducking? neck delay to a handstand looks cool.

Smooth shred, osis is a bit weird tho well im pretty sure you know that.

You are so good, Ben.
Sooo smooth. Everything looks so easy. I was thinking the whole time, I want to see some different bigger moves, other than blurry whirls. And then pixie paradon BSOS... looked just as easy as yur regular paradons! Wicked!!!

Man. Your drifters look awesome. I kept waiting for some blurry drifters, or tombstones. Stepping whirls too. You're too awesome for blurry whirl. Vortexes would be a sweet addition to your game. And I was going to says blurriests, but those pixie paradons are way cooler than blurriests.

Awesome game. I would love to see you mix it up a bit more next time, though. I challenge you, even!
