Erik Chan, summer 2009

Post by Muffinman »

My girlfriend filmed me in Toronto for one of the few and last times I played hack during the last half of last year. I was out of shape, trying a rehab session without the knee braces. And I only had my old Climas with me.

Bleh, too bad the song won't play on YouTube!

You do look like Ken. How did your knees feel without the braces? It certainly looks like you play just fine without them.

I'm still not sure if this was Ken or Erik. I never thought the two styles were at all alike until now. Well, who ever that was, great shred! ;)

look closely... im pretty sure those arent even climacools he is wearing. i think they are some of ken's black g-units. i could be wrong, but if you watch this video and then watch another erik chan video, the styles are totally different, especially in clipper placement/mirage and ducking style/ spin style.

its pretty obvious to me, i just dont understand why they did this haha.

I had my suspicions on the spinning ducking clipper-drop, but I want to believe that Eric's knees are better.

I still don't believe Erik would deceive us like that. His footbag style just changed a whole bunch with the braces off, he lost a few pounds, cut his hair, and changed his taste in clothes. That's it, I don't see why it is so hard to believe it's Erik Chan in the video.

I think the main thing you guys are failing to realize here is that Erik Chan and Ken Somolinos have been the same person all along.

Haha, Rory must be right. Erik Chan by day, Ken Somolino by night.
But seriously, you look atleast 5 years younger in this video for some reason...
