Amazing video.

some crazy stuff man! Really didnt expect the level that this video would be at, especially since you were usually an SA stunter.

Just curious what made you come back to it after all these years? I sometimes miss the feeling that stunting gave me, but just hard to find the time for the grind these days. Crazy to think that one of your SA solos inspired me to start stunting, which at this point is almost 20 years ago, and we are still here in this forum.

I love landing big/hard stuff, but i find the same (if not more sometimes) joy by landing small/funky stuff, there's no need to grind endless hours on stunting  also sharing with the community is one of the most fun things.

Thanks again guys. Nice to see comments from many old friends as well

A combination of things really. I was already trying some easier spots in 2019 or so, just for a lil fun and nostalgia. From which I ended up with a few reps, without a video in mind for them. That lead to trying some of my older unlanded ideas, as well as some 'known' harder spots. Some of which I did actually manage to land (tank bump, dam grind).

I'd say around mid-late 2022 it became a commitment to put these reps into a solo. And at the same time - screw it, might as well make it the best I can. With age and responsibilities it's unlikely I'll have another opportunity again in the future.

Guess I'll leave a comment as well:

I was really surprised to see a VC solo from you, as KM said, for some reason I had always thought of you as an SA stunter, who occasionally popped up in VC videos (like most SA people do), but never thought that you'd dedicate your time to doing a solo, let alone a solo, that is this amazing.

My jaw was on the floor throughout the entire video. A lot of legendary spots, that people have had in mind for almost a decade have finally been landed (without TAS). This video embodies the spirit of GTAS and perseverance like no other and is partially the reason, why I decided to de-rust as well and return to the hood.

Thanks DC!

Outstanding. The stunts were absolutely jaw-dropping, tackling locations that were previously thought to be impossible. Watching these stunts landed so perfectly was nothing short of amazing.

The editing by Haywire was clean and polished, perfectly complementing the stunts without ever overshadowing them. The music choice was also spot-on, adding to the overall atmosphere and making the video even more engaging.

Hats off to DeathCobra for breaking barriers with this one and to Haywire for delivering an edit that was truly worthy of the incredible stunts. Vice City stunting continues to evolve, and this video is proof of just how far we've come. This is definitely one for the GTAStunting history books.

What a feat in stunting history. You're a madlad.
It's one thing to find these spots, figure out if they are technically possible and another to see them through. The amount of dedication and determination you had for these spots and the game in general really shined through. I also loved seeing the stunting progression of these spots as that gave so much insight into the intricacies that are so hard to spot in a stunting video. There were some stunts that almost seemed like fillers in the light of all the insane big air stuff, but I know that even those have been tough to land. That just speaks volume about the quality of stunts that were landed in this. There was also a nice combination of grinds, big-airs, and precs, which was important for the video's dynamic. Seeing some of the TAS stunts landed clean as well as some old spots (such as the LC pillar which Gryzlek came so close to) and other spots that were just mere fantasies before you came around was impressive and validating to see. You really pushed the boundaries of what is possible.

Song choice and the complimentary edit by Jason was a great combination, focusing on clean angles and great visuals that let the stunts speak for themselves. Some run-ups I would have liked to see more of, as well as some alternate angles on the still camera shots, but I also get that the song was pretty short. Either way, really enjoyable watch and I liked that you tried out something new with 60fps. It didn't make me want to incorporate that in future edits but I liked the vision and outcome.

This made me want to dust off some old spots I felt discouraged from trying again. Thanks for the inspiration.
GG!
