Beast Sauce.

:astonished:

hey eli.
best vid, i’ve ever seen from you!
you got so creative. :slight_smile:

That was just awesome. :astonished: Everything was so creative. I don’t know how you can do this many videos in such little time. :slight_smile:

Dude it’s really sweet how you can make soooo many videos in such a short time and have them all be diverse and interesting, with new tricks in each. It seems like you practice only a small section of flat for a couple of days (like backsidespins) and have crazy quick progression in that area, and then progression slows down/you get bored, and switch to something new. Which results in a very well rounded flatland rider, and a lot of happy video viewers. :stuck_out_tongue:

I especially liked every trick, but the combos with crank idling stood out. Standup ww-fulloutspin-rolling wrap was nice too, has anyone ever done that?

Edit: After rewatching it, 360 sidespins to seat out look really weird haha. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them done that, and at first I didn’t recognize the trick xD. And what’s with the tape on the back of your seat?

Absolutely amazing! There was so many tricks that I didn’t recognize and looked really cool :slight_smile: How many hours do you ride every day? :stuck_out_tongue:

wow. i really enjoyed it watching this video:)
How can you film so much cool tricks in such a short time :stuck_out_tongue: crazy… ;D
keep it up

thank you for making this, i was thinking you won’t progress in filming/editing :stuck_out_tongue:
this is the video i prefer from you, it was great to see other backgrounds than usual, the editing is simple but cool
i won’t say anything about the tricks, because there’s nothing to say about it, it’s all good :slight_smile:

Highlights: Goose (?) in the beginning, oneway-sign, tank. :smiley:
I really enjoyed seeing you melting flat and freestyle melting into each other, that IS a tendency for sure. I wonder if freestylers will start flatlanding as well. Too bad there´s not much freestyle going on in the forums. Anyway, as always your riding was superb, song choice was mellow, grown-up and suiting the peaceful landscape scenarios.

Something popped into my head just now: Could you do a reverse-ordered combination of unispins down stairs? like the 1080 down one, 900 down 2 and so on? I´d so like to see this in a non-cutted sequence, on one staircase, although it might be too hard. just imagining.

Actually…don´t do it. If you break your leg trying, I´ll become the most hated person on the forums xD

I think I’m the first to do the fullout-rollingwrap from standup wheelwalk.

Ooh, and as for the tape :stuck_out_tongue: Well… My bumper is literally being held on with it right now xD The bolts of my CF base are all rounded out, so Will helped me fix the seat in a way that involves me not having a bumper. But I really wanted to have one, so we decided to tape it on.

I don’t even know, really :stuck_out_tongue: Maybe like 3 or 4… or 5…

Thank you :slight_smile:
I’m not sure if I’ll get much better at editing, but I’m going to work more on the filming and different locations from now on.

Hahaha well I’m currently working on 1080unispins down a 4 set. :roll_eyes: hopes Pele reads this

Lots of people asked for Youtube:

Grouse eli.

You keep learning new tricks and combo’s and they keep getting cleaner…its insane.

Some of the shots had a lot crsiper finish to them, if they were all like that it would look even nicer…

Thanks, man. When you say about the shots having crisper finishes, do you mean the actual combos or the clips themselves? I’m a little confused :stuck_out_tongue:

oh, my bad. :stuck_out_tongue: the combo’s are super crisp!

I think its just lighting in some of the clips. like the one at 3:45 - 3:55 looks really nice and clear and you can see everything that is going on. but some of the clips are darker and blurry. I had to say something bad or your head might blow up man :stuck_out_tongue:

P.S. About the CF base - Mine also stripped out the squares so i just have regular bolts with nuts on them and you just hold them from the top and tighten them. works really well. mine are allen key head ones too so they dont cut hands :slight_smile:

you can see my seat about half way down this page Custom Kris Holm Unicycles

Hahaha, I see what you mean now :stuck_out_tongue: Thanks :wink:

That seems like a good idea. I’ve been tearing up my fingers for the past few days now with the sharp bolts :roll_eyes:
I actually have an axel base on the way though, so I think I’m just gonna stick it out :stuck_out_tongue:

You are such a beast dude. Awesome vid!

dang dood, you da man! i loled at the beginning with the ducks

Thanks, guys :smiley:

I had to film them hahahahaha. They were there, and I had my camera out :roll_eyes:

That was cool. I liked the glide-fullout-blind 3-spin, the way you used the kickflip at 2:06, and the hickflip, hickdouble, hicktriple part.

Sick video. How do those side jumps at 3:11 differ from normal ones?
They look so much nicer but as far as I can tell they’re just normal side jumps :\

Well they’re seat forwards and they’re from seat in to seat in.

Thanks, everyone :slight_smile:
