1. Props.

2. Watching this made me wonder: what is the highest Shred30 score you think you could get? 20 unique 5s in 21-22 seconds is already 200 pts. Assuming you can stick in another 9 unique tricks in the remaining time, and have another 2 or 3 5s in there (or even a 6), and *bam*, you're already in the 300 range. Hitting it in comp is another question, but even if somebody hit a 300 in practice on video,that'd at least show its possible.

3. Frobs.

You know Disney's version of Herculese? The part near the end where he becomes a True Hero and starts to glow like crazy and a cloud comes down from the sky to get him and bring him and his chickypoo up to mount Olympus? I'm pretty sure that what pushed him over the line from Human to God was his risking of his life to save his girl-friend. ...well, I'm pretty sure that you were only one or two contacts away from earning that inner glow/cloud ride. Does that piss you off?
That was effing insane.


amazing.

Setman,

You've critiqued like every video I've put up. You said my janis were slurry, and now you say 20 unique fearless could be better. I respect your opinion, but I don't know what basis you have. How could it be better? I think everything was pretty clean? Please tell me what's wrong, or even better, go out and film yourself hitting 20 fearless so I can learn my flaws.

Thank you everyone else for the comments.

Many times I thought about that 300 points in shred 30. I thought that only czechs are able to do that by luckly I was wrong.

Lets make a pool of money from donations from footbagers to pay that person who will beat 300 pionts in a open competition. I bet that there are more people like me that would pay for example 10 euros to see that on live when someone crash 300 pts in shred 30. :twisted:




Props David!!! That was really cool!!! :lol:

That was sick David, i love how your fearless strings are unique (not always common tricks and links)

speaking of 300, if Vasek hit 35 fearless then id assume that in 30 seconds he would have scored over 300....

Thx for the video, pony.

...just disgustingly ill sickness.

Im downloading it. The comments that stand out are 'school your twos' and 'you make them look hard'. And I went into my standard 'oh david relax more and style blah blah.'. but then I kept scrolling down the comments and I see all this stuff like... you made that dude 'feel small' and I just decided FUCK IT if you are gonna shred HAAARD and tear it up and blow out your knees. (OR NOT HURT YOUR KNEES AT ALL) then at least u are doing it on video and showing people watsup.

SHRED HARDER... I assume u shred hard already but MORE!

ok I'm gonna go watch it now...

edit:

yup
I think that when you are pushing yourself super hard you are shredding harder than vasek when he is playing normally... I think when vasek shreds super hard he will still surpass you. Probabaly theres a reason for that. But, I'm sure it doesnt matter.

BEST ADVICE

watch this video a few times WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED and listen

to

the

breathing


good luck

wtf ure really good

Great video. I, like QuantumBalance, could not ignore the heavy breathing. Sexy, maybe. But more importantly it sounded strained. Of course the shred was incredibly difficult and certainly calls for serious breathing, but perhaps David you could somehow work on making your breathing more efficient. Being that I cannot shred anywhere close to the level of difficulty I see in this video, I am not sure of any specific instructions to give regarding your breathing. Maybe just bringing your attention to it will help you.

Keep up the good work. You are a great inspiration to many.

Peace.
