I'm having a terrible experience with Josh's video.
It plays unbelievably chunkily. I watched it all the way through anyway, but that was really annoying. I've never put your name to footage of you before, so I was impressed with your skill level. The fearless combo was great.

My two biggest criticisms are that you depend too much on that one osis (this particularly bothered me with the one-sided food processor and locomotion), and that your surging is probably the most the I have ever seen. (Although the run with the peeking osis > gyro mirage both sides was really refreshing!)

I guess to clarify, food processor and locomotion are huge tricks, and I was impressed that you hit them in the same run with great form and control, but I personally find bothsidedness far more impressive. Paradox blender BSOS would have blown my mind in comparison. (I'm trying to be constructive, not a jerk.) And second, I don't usually ever care about thes, but the surging was really, really obvious and didn't look good. Like, you're still stalling after you've completed both the dex and the spin.

I just mean to be helpful. It was nice to see the different scenery -- that's always fun. I hope you take my comments the way that I mean them.

Thanks for the video, i enjoy the christmas calendar more than any other time of the year. seriously, when else do we get 25+ videos in a month? so thanks for contributing. i didn't find it chunky. it seemed alright to me. yeah, i'd call each and every one of those surges "the", so i think you need to rework your form on those. i'm no surger, but they stood out as being blatantly the. i have to side with erik about the osis too, although i am guilty of it my self. i rely on my strong osis far more than my weak. however, it seemed like every other trick was osis, either side. andwhat about toe sets? i don't recall seeing a proportionate amount of to sets in comparison to stepping. I really dug the fearless combo! i rarely ever see gybas!!

i warn you now that this is a drunken ppst, so please disregard all of it.
cheers

some comments for the last few vids

Allan: would have loved to have seen a new vid, still good to see some footage of you again.

totally sick shred Evan

Thanks Ben for posting the vid of Cody, I really like all the barefoot clipper stuff, inspirational barefoot shred

the butterfly/whirling swirls and just the swirls in general were awesome, much props!

"RawSko Shreds" vid was great, wtf was with the guys at the end?

Josh, that swirling same torque was totally phat, osis is looking very solid too.

Nice Ken! I never thought you would use an Ol Dirty Bastard song. I like it raw. Cool combos. Could have been deeper in the middle on the second datw.

Good video though.

awesome, cody! great video.

hacksterbator · Post by **hacksterbator** » 17 Dec 2007 22:26

ken, i was very happy that the video was not raw, but did have music. i can't handle raw vids. great song! and great shred, i dug all the bsos's drifter stuff. insanity. was that muted blazing near reverse whirl at the beginning? was nice to see pixie what on video and the ripcurl ala reverse swirl was cool!
i think my fave part was missing the sauce on blurry drifter> vertigo and flailing your arms in anger. i like seeing what people do when they drop, every one has their own "fuck, i dropped" style. also liked the dropped food and how you were like "okay, well this is what i was gonna do after it..."

Ken sauce! That video was so tight and your double spinning is so much smoother! I'm going to watch it again right now actually. A definite keeper, props!

I was really impressed by Evan's video. He plays like I want to play - without a flipside and doing all kinds of tricks. Also some very cool links and a smooth style. Props!

KEN!

Going old school with the new. That's the kind of raw deal that Dirty himself would have tipped one to.

Having footage of Ken put to vintage Wu... Damn!

Xmas did come early! So many of those combos were so bad-ass, but most of all- the frigging style! The combination of unique, difficult tricks and diverse, imaginative, dynamic links kept me on my toes like a UK Rap Battle!

Thank you, Ken.
