Review-Intro to ze review: I'm sure the second you scroll down the forums and see a new topic in the ATS section you are practically ready to piss your pants. (As you are for other crew vids ) So you anxiously wait and wait for your download to be done until Firefox gives you a little pop-up tell you that the latest ATS vid is done DLing. In a constant rush you hurry to open up the file, to watch it in VLC, Winamp or WMP; you can't choose since your all giddy giddy with joy.
Stunts:(I picked out my favorites and the ones I just seemed to like a lot)3:40 (Docta Luv): Great stunt man, from the starting I noticed several old stunts and thought that this stunt was going to be a golden oldie also, but that grind proved me wrong. Awesome stunt dude it was really clean looking.
3:53 (Dannye): When I saw this my mouth made an expression that was sort of like " " the stunt was absolutely great man, it must've been really hard since the rail didn't have a arc to it who cares if you didn't land it on your wheels, the stunt is really one of the best ones out there.
4:18 (Dannye): I could never do those kinds of bumps off poles, maybe because I never tried them. Another instant classic from you Dannye.
4:30 (Dannye): This one was the biggest standout for me in the entire video. It shows that someone is pushing the limits of stunting to see how far it can go. For me this stunt shows the evolution of stunting overall, from the great push off airgrabs from 04 to this fantastic stunt; jumping onto a bike couldn't have looked any better. Although this type of stunt is very limited to the area it is performed on I'm hoping to see more of it.
4:55 (Daffy): Really nice and unexpected stunt d00d. I liked the cool landing at the end.
5:12 (Kaneda): Fantatstic stunt man, the bump, the spin, the landing - it couldn't have been any better (well, unless you did a backflip )
5:29 (Samurai): I've was looking for a way to land there and I've had several ideas, nice job on landing on that billboard thing bro.
5:36 (Neo): Great stunt man, I loved it but there was something that made it hard for me to appreciate the stunt.
6:00 (Dannye): So many people have landed on top of the construction site in LC, way to mix up it man. Really nice spin and landing.
6:12 (Kaneda): When you showed me your failed attempt at the stunt I was in awe, when I got to see this; I was amazed. Spectacular stunt.
6:17 (Nagual): Sick stunt, reminded me of GTAF.
6:30 (Dannye): After seeing all your stunts I needed to call a doctor to reattach my jaw, for some reason I thought you were going to do a airgrab back into the taxi.
6:49 (Dannye): First time I've seen Dannye on a black PCJ, my heart is filled with joy Probably the best PCJ wallride combo ever.
7:18 (Samurai): Awesome spin man, I liked your version of it so much more. I have a thing for PCJ grinds where the tail of the PCJ is in a area it shouldn't be (Like water, fire, the back edge of a roof and in other places )
7:24 (Kid A): Great job man, I've been trying to land on that and grind the rail connecting to the lower portion of the roof using that bump. Cool little bonk at the end.
7:30 (Madmax): Going for another one of those stoppie airgrabs again man...not this time. Loved seeing a double variation of that stunt, it was great the first time around but even better the second.
Intro / Outro: My favorite part were the big red letters at the dam, the music and everything just made it fit for me. I didn't see that skull logo anywhere in the vid. I liked it too when you guys beat teh shit out of Daffy too. The only part I didn't like was the goat thing.
Editing: You've probably heard this before but it's really good. I liked the use of the black and white mod in the first 20 seconds of the main part, didn't expect the entire vid to use it. I'm guessing you edited the timecyc to make VC and LC grayscale. The credits were top notch, and I don't say that about all the credits.
What to expect if you haven't seen it: This is definitely a twist from what others might call "the old ATS." There isn't anything thats old, it's just how you were accustomed to it at a different time frame. This video offers change, and change is something that is inevitable. You might not like it but it's going to happen. For me ATS has always been about the stunting but this video made it look like that you guys had started to care about the style of your videos. Feron offered some valid points in his little post de jourve (yes I just made that word up ) but ultimately it's up to the crew or the stunter to decide on what the video he / she / it creates. You guys make videos because of the way you want to, not because your making it better for others to watch. These guys aren't making this video just to impress you guys or whatever, and their probably not even making these videos to impress me either (Yea I know ) But whatever you guys do, before you start jumping to conclusions. Ask yourself this, do you make videos to impress yourself, others or just for fun.
Conclusion: *stretches* Ugh, I'm like the bible but a bajillion times more inspirational and crap.
Oh yea I just remembered;
Maybe you guys need to realize that some stunts do require RADS method.
9/10ths of the stunts people do with RADs can be done without it. It depends on their dedication.
