Salutations modified!
Here is the new Fourkast VM, this time edited and produced by Nick Landes himself. This was originally supposed to be part of a DVD project he was working on, but due to some technical issues he decided to release it one part at a time online. The video itself chronicles Nick's progression in 2006 and 2007. It was shot on regular video but is decent quality all the same : ) Enjoy!

Finally, man, it seems like Nick has been talking about this video for the last year. Been waiting anxiously since he first brought it up. Thank goodness he is finally releasing it.
I would like to mention the first footage was at the Folklife Festival Jam in Seattle we threw that year, which was a blast. We would love to revive it since were not really doing SJFF anymore. It should be around the 3rd weekend in May so put it on your calendars now.
I also noticed I had my camera out in one of those shots and bet I have footage from that day as well. Hopefully one of these weeks I'll pull it out and showcase that event.
Great job Nick! Way to tear it up!

That combination of style and technical level is sooo amazing. I don't say inspirating, 'cause I feel like I could never play like this. Absolutely unique.

I knew I shouldn't watch this at 430 AM - now i want to play. Kick-ass video Nick! I never knew anyone hit that move at the end.

Nick , nice man- I like the trick selection and the flow of the strings. I thought it was cool how in one scene you were shredding in front of a hacky sac circle. And that last trick I can hit in my sleep.

ONLY in my sleep though.

That video got me psyched to play too. It rocked. My favorite parts were the quick pdx barrages midstring and all of the fearless runs. Nice stuff Nick!

That one room that was nearly all white was sooooo cool looking. I wish I had a spot like that to play.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who posted feedback. I'm glad outdated footage of me was received so well. Please look for the next installment of the Sidekick Chro(nick)les. This was originally supposed to be a DVD, but more on that later

I feel that I need to mention a few things about this video:

1) The beast near the end is the first time I've ever hit a 6-6-6. Later that day, the bag I used exploded and died.

2) That was one of the only times I've hit Paradox Whirr cleanly, thankfully it was on video.

3) All of the fearless was a continuing record of how many I had hit at the time. The last one (12 I think?) is the last video confirmed fearless record I have.

DUDE! so great. Loved it.

Some videos I've seen lately have been pretty sick, but this was downright grotesque. Your style is like no others. pdx whirr was unreal.

Aesthetically, I liked the white room shots the best, just because it was such a weird contrast to the rest.
