Garage Shred 1

Post by professor »

Took some video of my training/shred session last night. Put some of the runs on this video. I've been working on improving my style. This is the first video I've made that I actually like my style somewhat.

I would really like some tips. Especially on my stepping and toe tricks. They don't seem to be correct.

Hey Ben. You've improved a lot since NYJ, especially in style. I used to not like it very much, but now I'm tempted to put you in my favorite styles. Mostly because of your new looking double downs.

Great string length and all that. The nemesis was the, but you know that... uhhh...

I loved the video overall, could have used some music but it was really great. Great mastery of the basics.

More pickups!

Good shred, my favorite links were swirl>twirl and osis>ddd, rarities amongst today's players. More illusions, eggs, dlos, drifters. Didn't see much if any of that in there.

edit: okay re-watched the vid, you have a lot of dlos in there lol, and the one pixie drifter, but the rest of the stuff I'd love to see in your game if only for the fact that you have such a clean style. props all around though, the pixie ss swirl (I think) was pretty sweet lookin.

hey ben. your style is really good. its so smooth and clean, semmingly effortless, i like it alot. you guys in vegas are like squeaky clean, i wish i could play with you both. anyways, my comments:

i liked the gyro clippers. not too many use them, and they look cool.

toe shuffle>combo looked great.

i agree, the double downs look sweet.

louder music is better!

haha messed up atomic>clipper made me laugh.

pixie swirl is SO cool


thanks for the video.

Your style reminds me of Flash like crazy. But personally i like watching you more then Flash. Good vid, was fun playing with you and Evan at SoCali. Vegas is harboring some insane sickness. If i ever go there I'll be sure to bring a ton of vitamin C.

That was a nice video. I agree that your style improved, i haven't seen any big problems with your style in this video. I was actually impressed a few time on how smooth and effortless some moves were executed. Your variety is also very good.
