Inspiring, yes.
Impacting, yes.
Unbelievable, yes, I don't believe it.
First think about how to practice or don't bother practicing.

Again, thanks for all the comment. I will post the original sound for the last clip soon. It sounded even better in slow motion :)

I have not checked out the video section in awhile. I am so glad this was near the top of the list.

Great video Ken. You have certainly learned a few things since the last time I saw a video of you. I was pleasantly surprised many, many times.

As for your pdx mirage bail... If you find yourself bailing to pdx mirage in a string get the bag over and hit pdx mirage on the other side. This gives the impression that both were intentional and doesn't let the one pdx mirage stand out so much. Just don't tell anyone you bailed. ;)

My only other advice would be to go to GRASS 2009. YEAH PLUG!

Peace.

Tricks I hit in this video: TATW, blurry flurry, double spinning eclipse, toe flurry, toebius, enterrage, sailing dlo, scorpion's tail, vortex, symp torque, spinning pdx egg, etc.

Tricks people want to talk about: pdx mirage. :roll:

I dunno, maybe that IS the most interesting part of the video. I'm just surprised that so many people chose to fixate on that (especially after I said I'm working on it) when there was so much else in the video.

Anyway, I think Age did a great job editing this. Thank you for putting in so much time and effort in making this.

Ken,

I hope I didn't bring you down talking about pdx mirage. The video was great. Your skill level is always improving. I would have been move specific with my props but sadly I don't know the names of most of the big moves you hit. Also, I wouldn't want to ruin it for people who haven't seen the video yet.

Peace.

Love it. 8)

I haven't seen this vid in a while. I think I'll check it out again. I love the blurry flurry, double spinning eclipse, sailing dlo and spinning pdx egg.

Everything else, well, I don't like your style so much (lol-jk)

I hope to kick with you soon.
