Hard decision but i choose chris because of the smoother grinds and more technical tricks.Adriens uni flip was amazing and 1080 side

[Edmund Leduc]

I'd have to admit I prefer Chris's but not by much.
Adrien would've obviously dominated if it was a flatland callout.
I just found that Chris's riding was so creative, fluid, huge, and stylish.
He went big stunt wise, if you get what I mean, and Adrien went big with treytriples sejs and all.

Despite the seatwhip, the 1080 (which I tried not to count tooo much) since they're flat tricks... I still think my vote goes to Chris.
(Adrien's edit was really dope though :P)

I really loved both videos...but I just enjoyed the street lines in Chris's so much....also going huge with "older" tricks beats newer tricks on smaller obstacles in my opinion. :-)

I think overall Adrien's video was better, everything was really clean, along with the edit.

However in my mind this was a Street video callout, and Chris's vid was freaking gnarly, so my vote goes to him.

so...I think its a tough call....

I think its wrong to say that Chris's riding is more techy. Sorry Chris, its not. Adriens tech is amazing and smooth. But i will say that in his edit he uses no slow motion which which i think takes away from a viewers ability to appreciate the tech. and i felt that there was more flat then I wanted to see.

Chris is grinds are not just better... they are WAY WAY better. Adrien's grinds all seemed like he didn't even want to do them.

Chris jumps much bigger into all his trick and catches pretty much every trick which is a style I personally like better.

so... tough call to me

I pretty much agree with everything else. Chris's Street and grinds were much better, but just something about the feel of Adrien's video makes me really happy. I really liked the music, filming and editing, and some of the tricks just blew me away, even though they weren't down huge sets or used in the environment as well as Chris did. So maybe it's bad to judge on riding vs overall video, but I voted for Adrien because I liked his video more overall.

I honestly am in love with both videos. </3

I have to start by saying, obviously, both videos are freaking dopesauce.

Now, as for my vote, I have to give it to Chris. When it gets down to a raw, gnarly street video, you can't beat it. It's got blood, speed, and Chris's clear agressive style is just tough to match. The edit's nothing special, but it's totally enough to accentuate the high points of Chris's riding. He don't give a eff about nothin'.

Adrien, your video is just awesome to watch, and the edit can't go unrecognized. Beautiful filming, great song choice, and the whole thing was fast-paced, really what a street video should look like. You really hit the mark with tech stuff, with the ridiculous sejside manny pad lines, the hicktrip from grind, etc. And of course the clean whip and 10side.

Chris's video has just enough small tech stuff (2.5 from switch crankgrab, manny pad line with the bayflip) and then the rest is huge. I can't deny, though, that I really love them both.

[unicycledood]

I do really love the filming in Adriens video. I'm too lazy to use a tripod but after seeing how effective it is in Adriens video, I think I will start.

[JacobSpera]

Chris you got me on the variety of grinds you did and the ride down the rail was steezy fresh!

Adrien loved your video to! You are an AMAZING rider! Loved your style man, one of the coolest styles ive seen with tech street.

I like big street a lot and thats what Chris's video was. Super ballsy and gnarly in all forms

great riding from the both you

[JohnnyReggae]

Initially I thought Andrien's, but then I went and watched Chris' call-out and I'd have to agree that Chris was better. Much more air, and some gnarly tricks. A definite sense of really pushing it. In context of the whole call-out .... I am super impressed with both, but I tip my hat to Chris.

[concierge]

Voted for Chris because it looked way more flowy to me. I´d say Adrien has the harder tricks but then again as it was said above I prefer to see "easier" tricks done with a lot of flow, cleanliness and air over what-the-fuck-was-he-just-doing-tricks that look so hard to do.

Video wise I liked the song more than Adriens as well, but that´s just subjective and doesn´t really matter I think.

Strange thing: Adrien´s vid stops on me everytime at 2:07!!!

In the end both vids are going to be shared on my fb to make people see what is possible on a uni because they are AWESOME :-)

[willriley]

My vote goes to adrien, although i love chris's style and his tricks adriens video blew me away, I have to say that i really appriciated the lack of slowmo too! my vote goes to adrien

[Matti M]

WHAAAAT !? why do so much vote for chris even if it´s a sick video
adriens was just even more insane a lot of different tricks and all hard and clean i vote for him
