Shit.....wow. I'm just awed by these two submissions. These, in complete honesty, may perhaps be my favourite two submissions. Never have I had this hard a time choosing between....
TWO videos. OMFG!
I'll start here....
Loosey: I think that your video in general is more of what people are expecting to see here in the FA. And, I say that as a good thing, trust me. I don't like tryin to watch a
quick video and it turning out to be some too long and drawn out video. You were direct to the point of the challenge and got your point made
clear. I think your butt scratch at the end(
) just placed emphasis on the video in general. Oh yeah.....I caught that....no bother in even
trying to hide social indecenties from me.
Ahem....I really enjoyed your trick as a submission. It's got the qualities I look for in them.
Difficulty, effecience of delivery and eye candy. The immediate catch and releases of the knives is something I personally won't be trying anytime soon.
You weren't hesitant at all on getting the knives from one hand to the other. Awesome. The trick has fantastic looks to it, and has even more potential if one were able to do it faster.
The Bad: Your submission deserves a second angle man. I'm sure most people will get the experience of your trick watching this video, but anotehr angle or two would've been nice and with the trick (and the video) being as short as they are, it won't hurt the length of the video.
And....you scratched your butt man.....wtf?
Str8gallis: Holy shit! That is the trick you have
GOT TO submit in the so-slow-getting-here IBTC. I bet you'd be surprised how many people would vote on that. It's a simply stunning trick. I can't put enough emphasis on that. A better angel would work miracles. The upside-down camera angle actually gave me a completely new perspective on looking at tricks period. I can't believe I've never thought of looking at a trick upside-down. It gave a lot of compliment to your trick as well. Believe me.
Your stance on the trick was superb. Most videos I see where people are bending their knees in order to catch their balis behind their backs or similar, it just looks sloppy. It seemed that you spent a lot of time either infront of the camera (
) or a tremendous piece of spare time to get this trick to look as good as it did. Your knees weren't bent back so far your hair was picking up static like most oethrs.
The Bad: The flips added a very nice touch to your trick. It simply made it amazing to look at. Although with that being said, I think your trick could have gone without it into the poll. It seemed more of a filler than a part of the actual trick. Too much time spent drawing the focus of the viewer away from the objective being voted for. And and all....five in five stars, mate!
Me talking again....Jesus...I haven't typed that much in a while...how long have I been sitting here...where am I? Oh...the fucking Flipping Arena!
This is going to be really difficult for me to vote on you guys, thanks.
If I didn't like the tricks as much as I do, I wouldn't have bothered with writing something this long. Which most likely get erased due to the fact that the computer I'm on is a P.O.S. and will probably freeze up not a second after I hit the "Submit" button down there \/ and reboot the computer....thus deleting this message and even the clipboard cuz....you bet your ass I'm clip this to that board....
