I liked godsons and darkyy's stunts.
Editing was cool but at some points a bit overedited.
Pretty cool vid anyway.
Good job USS.

Have to say I was little disappointed. Perhaps I just had my expectations too high.

The intro...it started ok (was glad to see a good old resolution ) but then it just went on and on...it got too long (you even used the same locations over and over again).

As for the main....I liked the song, it wasn't too dark. The editing however was a let down, it was overedited. I hate when stunts are cut for some annoying effects which are synced to the song, it really bugs me. Also the colour changing in Xtramus's doublegrind for example was ANNOYING, it ruined the (good) stunt for me. Another thing about the editing was that I saw a lot of obvious mistakes there (for example the post-rep flash in the end), which surely shouldn't be seen in a video of this level.

The most important part is the stunts, which were also a bit of disappointment. There was only a small amount of stunts which I got excited from (Xtramus's doublegrind and bigbang container landing), the rest of the were stunts were mostly P2Bs and BSMs, which would of been normal in ~2005. Although this is understandable, since everyone in the video/crew besides Xtramus (and Kingjad) are quite unexperienced. I was just expecting to see more creativity like we've seen in the past USS videos.  I couldn't recognise the person in the credits who tried to land on the small platform on top of the grocery store, but it would of been a great stunt. Shame he didn't try it for longer.

I know this was a rough review but I think you guys can take an honest opinion and critisism well.

Please start doing videos more often guys, I'm really looking forward for the next one.

OMG Godson, that wallride2 grind was a screamer as well as all your other stuff. Oh and the rest was good too

You guys delivered, for me USS vids always have a good noble feeling. Might be the songs chosen. Anywas X's natural doublegrind on the same rail was amazing as well as Godson's wallie to grind on the boat, some other stunts impressed me but ill have to rewatch. More comments coming.

I agree with these points. I did bring it up with darky about having subs in the credits but he said folk should be able to recognise who was who. I think because he himself is a USS member, he knew easily who was who, but for outsiders it would be difficult to tell if you couldn't see easily. Xtramus' double-grind was, as Brulla said, over-edited like mad.

But I also have to consider USS' predicament over the past couple of years. They've had to suffer BJ retiring, X being more inactive, good talent like Plethzorb choosing to go elsewhere so they could be more active etc. They've had so many obstacles to overcome just to keep continuing. Amazing perseverance has been shown when it would've been easier just to go elsewhere. The USS of now have fought hard for this day. I'm making this sound far more incredible than it ought to be, but credit to them for not giving up like many others would have done.

Pretty solid vid guys, editing could've been better in places and one or two stunts looked a little easy. Apart from that fucking awsome. The finisher was.. wow.

8/10

Thanks a lot everybody that commented so far, we read every single post with attention ( at least I do ).
Thanks Brulla for that review even though it's kinda negative, at least it was explained and I respect that, thanks a lot King and yeah some stuff could have been way better but we did what we could.

Overedited ? Damn usually I got some underedited complains =( Well next time should be the right


I am already planning stuff for the next video, and I also have stunts ready to be used and better than those.
