Thanks for the link.

Yea the video was just uploaded recently so I guess it's still propagating. The url I provided works though.

So is this one as heavily edited as the last one? I mean, I could probably make an outstanding video if I could also have a bazillion takes over a few days with time out to repair the body damage the mistakes caused...

chinoxs203 · 06-01-2009, 01:21 PM

that was nuts at the end.. i couldnt imagine staring the car down flying at me!

edited or not, there's no way you can deny the guy's skills.

i thought the paintball scene was stupid, and the slo-mo was overdone.

awesome nonetheless.

yah the editing did get annoying, but there is no denying his driving skill, insane skills

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn · 06-01-2009, 06:21 PM

very very cool. I'd hate to be the guy that has to clean up those broken bulbs and ballons.

danniexi · 06-01-2009, 08:25 PM

yay for green slime, water balloons, light bulbs and the fiery fap hand in slo mo.

that video was damn cool.

EpicE92 · 06-01-2009, 08:45 PM

rcracer_tx · 06-01-2009, 08:48 PM

Actually, with a lot of editing, you can have a huge number of takes and only get the best ones. Any decent autocrosser could duplicate it given enough takes. I just see a reasonably decent pro/amateur driver playing with a lot of takes. After the last video and seeing what damage he did to the car during the shoot that got edited out, I'm not as impressed with his madd skillz.

Yeah, it looks like a lot of fun, and I'd love to have some time to try some of that, myself.

gshb · 06-02-2009, 01:46 PM

good vid. im totally ready for 30+ more threads on the same vid!

He's still seems talented to me, at least I'm guessing he didn't fall off the pier into the water in one of the missed takes.
