Hi. I am nobody especially important, just a person that happened to discover the gtastunting forums over 6 years ago during the golden age of SA stunting. I have been inactive on the forums for a few years, but suffice it to say I have seen a great number of stunt videos; enough to know when someone is modding. I have seen modders get caught firsthand, and I've experimented with modding myself so I would be able to better recognize it. However, I have never released a video containing modded stunts and passed it off as unmodded. I will not tell you who I really am, because you would probably use various logical fallacies like saying you've never heard of me to discount what I'm saying instead of addressing the facts. The evidence is all there in the video. I have listed the exact seconds where evidence of modding is visible. I really feel sorry that you need to feed your ego by putting together videos with hacked stunts so you can somehow feel superior and validated by a bunch of noobs that wouldn't know legit (or fake) stunting if they saw it. I'm only doing this because I truly have a love of stunting, and I hate to see this movement hijacked by cheaters who use mods to get popularity. True stunting will always be about finding inspiration from your own creativity, a love of the game, and respect for the community. So, know that the spirit of true stunting will never die. Know that those who came before are still watching. And know that those who earned their respect the old-fashioned way do not like what they see.
1:52-Definitely modded. Obviously used SACC. Tackleberry was able to get away with this kind of thing, but even he got caught and had to admit it. I'll explain exactly what type of modding I'm talking about below. (I'm speaking of tackleberry's bbm from Out of Reach by TMS. Funny how it's always the person editing the video that thinks they can get away with modding...)
1:56-got a little too much air from that, but can't tell if modded or not.
2:40-A tell tale sign of using SACC to alter your trajectory. You seem to freeze for an instant in midair.
3:09-Another example of the subtle extra frames/glitching forward effect from modding directional speed with SACC.
3:48-Crystal clear example of modding. Same story, increasing vertical velocity with SACC. Obviously impossible otherwise.
4:00-I thought this was the only legit stunt in the vid at first, but you clearly jerk forward like you badly tried to edit out the effect I'm talking about from altering your trajectory mid-stunt.
4:07 and 4:10-more than one instance of modding in a single stunt! I applaud your very creative use of mods!
4:44 and 4:46-More of the same. Obvious speed boost out of nowhere then another jerking motion midair.
5:07 and 5:09-You almost did a good enough job editing this one to make it look clean, but I don't believe it is.
5:14-How clever of you, the editor, to cut in the clip when you did. Like, the second after you speed hacked.
6:15-GOD AWFUL. If you did not notice that there was something fishy with this video at this point, then stop calling yourself a stunter. He literally shoots straight up and it looks sketchy as fuck. I don't care if he used RAD's method, there's only one thing that can make an NRG do that, and that is SA Control Center.
6:31-You were in the middle of a spin, and then suddenly you stop spinning just in time to land the grind all clean...Not letting that slip past me.
6:36-no mods this time, just don't think you're the first to do a quadbike grind.
6:43-again, you jerk and move in another direction all in mid air. I'm starting to think the modding will never end.
8:33-What more proof do you need!? Blatantly modded. He just boosts up like a rocket and overshoots the tower by more than enough to be obvious about it.
Don't believe me? watch at 6:15 and 8:33 one more time. There is really no room for arguing. Have a nice day!
