posted this in my blog a while ago and had a bunch of folks tell me to put it in here. i was also saving it incase the christmas calendar was short a vid, but since it has been finished (big ups to all the film makers and zeb for organizing) i thought i'd toss it out. consider it day 25.
turn the volume up.

Great video, great style. Really liked the editing, the music, everything. Liked the breakdancers in the back as well, that was a cool addition. I really think your basics are solid as hell and your shuffle shows that, so if I want to see anything its more fearless links.
Thanks for making my holiday even better.

Great video Andrew. I remember watching video of you years ago and thinking that you were really dedicated and pushed yourself hard. Your commitment is certainly paying off. You are so good and are getting better all of the time.
Thanks for sharing this video.

Hell yeah ATG in the house
I haven't played in almost a week. This video makes me want to strap on the q2s and get out there. Your style is looking a lot smoother, like it's easier on your body. Looks like you are doing a lot more fairy and quantum, but maybe I just never noticed you doing them before. Way to really mix up the shuffle and not just do the common stuff.
It was really good to see another video of you. Now I'm gonna go shred

p.s. propz on the beast

thanks for the comments all.
jay: I've been trying to work on my toe game alot, mostly influenced by k-reg's toe insanity. i used to be clipper heavy, but i'm trying to find a nice balance right now. i was going to carry the stutter editing through out the video, but got lazy. i was just going to do the first track, but then i had a bunch of stuff left over. i just cut them to fit the bars of the track with no real editing. and then i got really lazy, cut the track in the middle and threw the other clips in the trash, cut it and print it.
Lauri: thanks for the comment!
Doctor D: Those were seriously either the worst or laziest breakdancers i have ever seen at the uni. some times i share the auxillary gym with some really good ones, but these guys spent about an hour watching me, lying on the floor, and occasionally trying to bust a move or 2. maybe the smell of my climas put them off their game?
yeah, fearless doesn't really interest me too much at the moment. right now i'm more interested in playing genuine and improving my link repatoire a bit more, as i always seem to hit the same combos ( something ending with whirl> schmoe, dlo> pixie ss mirage). i would like to finally hit 10 fearless though (been at 9 for ages, ungh) so maybe soon i'll start working at improving the quality of my 5's. thanks for the push in a new direction though! glad i could brighten your holiday, haha.
benzilla: thanks for the props.
mike: commitment has been lacking since worlds, so i need to get back on that. i seem to be playing just enough to not get any worse at the moment, but thanks for saying it looks like i have improved, it makes me feel better about my self hahaha!
Ben-Ben: Not too often i get up in this mother any more. i should try to put out more vids, but i can't be bothered half the time. Glad it gave you itchy feet and got you out kicking though! Quantums were part of my repatoire back in the day before my hip injury, but hip flexion and external rotation (pretty much what you do in a quantum) are exactly what injured it before. the speeds required for quantums make me nervous, so i have been slowly playing with them trying to get them back. fairy i have been doing for a while, but i've been working at incorporating it more into my shred. my goal is to one day be able to shuffle and make use of every (common) set. i'd love to do a huge shuffle run with stepping, furious, pixie, quantum, fairy, atomic, nuclear all bothsides mixed with a variety of mirages, illusions, legovers, pickups, butterflies, whirls, dlos, eggs, drifters, blenders and double downs. essentially i want the largest shuffle repatoire on the planet, hahaha. i'm coming for you, Yves!!! hahaha
