This week's blast from the past was selected and written by Sweet.Haywire had never been one to set the stunting world on fire, and that's fine; not everyone is a Daffy or a Kr3mlin or a Kert. But when he released
Spiengraph in late 2007, Haywire showed us what he could really do. It was pretty much his last proper solo, 404 was half a solo and so doesn’t count.
The one thing that this vid has that it needs to be commended for was variety. This was back in the time when not many people were doing different types of stunts. Haywire had grabs, high flying PB's, high flying GRINDS. He had it all. He over-whored the CSM's a fair bit, but this was back when the CSM was quite new and not many people were catching on, and he did some great ones that would still be considered amazing today. He also made them look stylish, with most of them involving some type of spin or flip.
The editing also has a certain style to it that not many videos have: Haywire's editing style jumped off from this one, let's say. He edited the sky colors for black to suit the style of the video, and while he did the same idea much better in later vids, it was still a very novel concept that not many people use to date.
