Skills on first vid: Thumbs up

Makes me wanna invest in shiney pants and paint my helmet.

 

I'm waiting for someone to say they just aren't G a n s t a!

Watch Phieffer's winning run at the 03 world championship... He links everything together effortlessly. They've been doing this alot longer and it shows

 

usa rules man look at what there riding and wearing it just aint the same. i dont get the same bus as the us guyz.

 

I could care less what someone looks like .... if they can ride a bike then it's gonna be exciting to watch.

 

Absolutely - it's a stunt show not a fashion show

 

Speaking of european stunters... this guy can ride

---> Joni Tammela <----

 

hell jeah he can... dunno just seems those guys ride to have fun and look like it. Too much thuggin and drama here.. I salute them.. plus they have motards

 

it wasnt that great 05 stuntwars viddy was off the hook. I think US stunters got more style.

 

i dnt know.........that kid joni....rockin circels better then anyone ive seen and hes jus 19........damn hes gona be sometin to watch

 

definitely can ride, look goofy as all hell doing it, but they can. All three songs in the video suck, but when was the last european video you heard with good music?

 

When was the last time you saw a US vid that didn't have the exact same sounding rap track on it? This isn't a flame, but FFS, every vid is exactly the same these days. Over the last five or six months especially it's become incredibly boring 'cos everyone's copying everyone else

Irrespective of the riding content, you guys used to rule where the vids were concerned, and the rest of us played catch up. But now it's just the same thing regurgitated over and over again. The riding gets better every single day, the camera work's slowly getting better, too - but the editing, the music and the thought behind how it's all put together is so stale because no one's trying, or daring, to be different

You can always spot a Stones Films' vid, but they're it - pretty much everyone else seems to edit the way they do because that's how everyone else does it, without ever understanding why the person who first used that style did it the way he/she did or why it worked. And what's even worse is that the Euro editors are starting to do the same thing now, too - copying what they see on SL without understanding why they're doing what they're doing

Some of the music may be crap on the Euro stuff, but at least it's different crap

At least, for now, anyway...

 

Great vid clip.

I WANT UMBRELLA GIRLS TOO! :YEAH :YEAH

 

in the last week or two, I heard the same song (not even that good of a song) in 5, yes 5 stunt vids..

I completely agree with you man.. i didn't want to quote the whole post.. but you're dead on.

 

**** that's all i'm saying. So true so true. That game song has been out for like a month and i've seen in half a dozen vids. And if it's not rap it's disturbed. **** makes me want to throw up. As far as the vidz themselves go. People just go out and ride with a camera. no one is really settin up any shots or **** like that. At least its not showing through.

 

Uh, regardless of the style of clothes, helmet, bike etc... I think that was some pretty damn good riding.

 

good watch

 

Damn that was some skills there. Did I see it wrong or did that guy do a 12' o clock highchair burnout.................... thats sick.... I havnt been following stuntin for about a year though now so it may not be as crazy as I think it is anymore.

 

Just cause they're not all "ghetto" or wait ... I mean "gangsta" doesn't mean that they don't have flavor and skill. I thought it was entertaining as hell. All you see in most us vids is people doin cirlces... then a nice segment of "yo dawg dis shyit be da hottness na mean *****!"... then a circle... followed by an occasional spreader. I liked that.. showed serious skill and personality. Hate on the clothes and music if you like... it's another country. Of course they aren't going to be like us. I personally liked it a lot, and would love to see US riders be able to keep a crowd that big entertained like that.

 

if we rode with manner's and class,well we just woud'nt be american......but damn those cats really know how to put on a show
