Finally got the chance to watch this vid, and it was well worth it.

I loved the rev swirl > pdx torque > rpt > swirl > pdx flux > rpt combo.

Thanks for the post Jim

Sick! I dunno if it's lavers that make such a difference, but your style has slightly changed in this video. It seems like you're not playing as aggressively as you usually do. Props on the vortex swirl too.

EDIT: This is one of the best videos I've seen, very original and creative! Loved the live sound too!!!

5) naked in the winter


Uhhh, not to be over technical but that wouldn't be blazing barfly because blazing implies paradox. It would be whirling barfly? I could be wrong though.

Did I see an almost blazing ducking blender in der Jim? Wew

"Relaxed" is definitely a word that comes to mind but don't get caught up in shoes having such an impact in your play. I think your just progressing, thats why you look more relaxed.
First think about how to practice or don't bother practicing.

I think my style depends on a lot of things. The shoes I'm wearing does make a slight difference. Not really in my style but the way it looks from 3rd person when Im playing. g units look a little bigger and bulkier. They have an easy to catch inside and I think they make my crank lazy sometimes. Lavers I have to crank hard to catch clipper and osis. And quantums are somewhere in the middle. I don't really have a favorite shoe anymore. I like using all three. Also I think it depends on how much energy I have and my trick selection for that particular day. Sometimes I feel like playing slow, paced, controlled kinda like vaseks style. Other days I feel like shuffling as fast as I can and being really agressive. It depends on what I'm trying to hit and what kind of mood I'm in. If I'm mad about something I'm more likely to play aggressive. And the major thing my style depends on is "coach." If I smoke I tend to do long smooth runs with a lot of bails. Kind of like Lon's style. But if I stay sober I usually do short, fast, technical runs. Like a lot of triple dexes and fewer bails. Another thing is when I release videos they're always from about a half hour session. It's hard to get a feel for someones entire game from 30 min. of one day. Most of the stuff I hit never makes it to video. I think if I made a long video from several different sessions people would get a better feel for my game. But I like to stay underground and keep my game a secret. Especially when there's big tournaments coming up.

You're insanely good. I dig your style in all shoes, but I would deffinately like to see more Bunny Slipper shred.

Also, when you go to rev. swirl and you thwack your bum with the hack, you should land that and call it a Bum Bump :lol:
