Any advice or feedback on shred is apreciated.

Wow! Super genuine! Sick shred.

The strings were diverse and thick with adds and components.

The only thing I would have liked to see more of was maybe a few more big add links/tricks. I feel like your guiltless shred is strong enough to throw in a few bigger tricks mid-string.

Great style. Enjoyed the vid tremendously. Is the music the Faint? Love the bizarrely electroclash-sheik background with the music :)

Liked how fun and dynamic your game is with relatively few high-impact moves (knee-safe ones).

wow mathieu, youve improved immensely since GRASS last year, good string length, variety and trick selection.

my only suggestion would be to set the camera up not facing mirrors, it loses focus sometimes when it thinks the mirror's image is the subject. auto focus will be more effective with a matte background.

Thanks for the vid. I liked the spinning/gyro legover mixups the most. I'm really coming to appreciate how cool spins are, and I like the way you use yours. Keep em coming please.

thanks for the comments, it means a lot since I feel like I'm going nowhere since a year or so and I work so hard and I see very little result, so comments make me feel better

For the camera, mirrors or no mirrors, whatever settings I use the camera loses focus all the time, It's old and it fell on the floor a few times, need a new one

Your Spinning and Ducking tricks somewhat remind me of Lon Smith, flowy :) I liked the Gyro Guay, the run with Vortex BS and DSOs. Thanks for the vid!

I think your toe shuffle and pixie stuff would look better if you kept your back straighter instead of letting your head and shoulders fall forward with the sets. I enjoyed the video though!
