WOW ! Some amazing comments so far, thanks heaps people. I am glad to see you all enjoyed it. And I very much appreciate all the comments, i just wish i could've posted sooner, cause there have been so many. Here are some reply's:

Yoda: Yeah I know, I had some plane stunts in mind, but I kept putting them off to work on my other stunts, and hence never got aroung to doing them :P .

Omni (and others): I realise that the movie intro was probably not the best idea for a stunt video, but Im really bad at coming up with intro's otherwise  ;). Anyway, yes, the voice over was straight out of the movie (notice that he says "his real talent lies in ...' - in the movie it says CARDS, but i tried to make it sound like CARS, geddit (lol, i know its kinda lame).

Brainkiller: I gave it that description incase there were some ppl who just looked at the tga download page (where it only shows the first bit of the description), so having the word 'awesome' as the first word, would hopefully get more downloads :D . That speed editor was a little program done by Marklund, i used it just for the intro jump bit.

Kr3m: I am so dissapointed that my wallride was old, I seriously had no idea.  :( I was so happy when i did it, i actually remember thinking that you would really like it. Ohwell. What vid was it in of yours, i really wanna see it. About the packer, i must admit, when i did the stunt, i just spawned the packer in there, assuming that it COULD be done normally (like finallight said), altough i never actually tested to see if ya could though.

Sweet: According to the stats that came up when I did it: 226ft. My original plan was to land in/on the actual thing, but seeing as it curved outwards towards the top, that kinda ruined that idea, but nevertheless i was happy with the stunt.

Kaneda: Yeah that was my plan, to show that taxi stunting in SA is certainly possible (albeit alot harder and less cool than in VC  :P ). Yeah I loved that firetruck grind, it only just made the vid too, it was the last stunt i did before editing it. Its funny, i kinda like some of my credit stunts more than some of my main ones, lol.

Overall: Thanks to everyone who liked the variety (I did work hard to get a good variety, and I'm glad to see that I definately acheived that), the taxi stunts (they're not as easy as VC but they're still possible), and the credit stunts (i came up with that MiB style 'roof run' totally by accident while trying to just do a lame taxi grind in that tunnel  :P ).

I didnt even think that it could be a record, it didnt even occur to me, which now i think about it is quite odd considering how many times i went for the taxi height record in VC. When i was doing the stunt i was so happy when i finally got it that i didnt think to save a screenshot until after the stats had gone away, hence the only proof i got is the rep and a screenshot of the brief screen taken straight after, which i will certainly understand if you guys dont think its proof enough. Ofcourse i could probably just go do it again if i can be bothered  :) . What is the current car height record anyway?

Nice name finallight  :lol:

Awesome vid. The taxi stunts were great. Would've loved to see some of your plane stunts. Probably some awesome stuff there. If you wanted to be in a crew we'd like to have you in WH, but if you feel solo's are better for you that's cool. Pretty sure Taclite would accept you...

great vid. a lot of unique stuff here. some old bike stunts, but the uniqueness and pwnage of the other stunts more than made up for it. :) and i must say, either your aim is a lot better than mine or you have a lot more patience, because i always get frustrated when trying to do taxi wallclimbs off a packer because i hit the struts on the packer 9 out of 10 times. ugh. the taxi ceiling rides during the end credits blew me away.  :o

Yay someone who shares my pain  :P Yeah those struts can get BLOODY annoying when doing taxi stunts (or any car stunts), and they did, at times. How annoying is it when you stuff your line up and hit the strut, you not only stuff that attmept but also ruin the positioning of the packer... (bad memories   :D ). There was one that i had heaps of trouble with and never ended up even doing, it was supposed to be a wall climb, but i just kept hitting the sides, and also it was in a spot where the tram would come along and ram straight through it every now and then too, my patience didnt last long with that stunt  ;) . Anyway, thanks heaps for the comments!

Dannye i hadnt released it, but it was very close to release so you got the spot out properly first

@finallight: the packer can into that compound but not to the side where the stunt was performed, no room anywhere to drive it through to there

Oh and the struts aint toooo bad, im so used to trying to hit them that i welcome the challenge of car stunts :P

Yeah, I just checked and there's not enough room to get a packer through to the back, that sucks.

@finallight: Oh well. I guess that rules out the possibility of getting a wr height then. Its okay though, i know another spot  where i can climb something about the same height... ;)

@Kr3m: Ah okay then. I wanted to go higher on mine, but since my main goal was mainly to hit her anywhere and land on the roof, when i finally got it right (probably took longer than it should've,  :P ) i didnt keep trying. If only it were possible to go so high you could go over/or hit-and-somehow-land-on her head, now that'd be cool. I shoudl've guessed you'd find that spot, you wallriding king :D .

All ive got is that mine is higher doesent really make the stunt that much better just trying to save ground cos you got it out first :P
