A lesser person would say "fuck it" and give up even trying to improve after repeated comments like that from "veterans". I could do the whole song and dance and counter every point your attempted to make in your retort, but I don't want my threads to go off track. Fact of the matter is, I'm looking to get better. So any feedback a person leaves in one of my threads to the contrary of offering me advice and insight to get better will be met with the way I met the same way it's delivered.

And as far as EA killing the community, they only pulled the plug on the life support system. The community itself drunk it's own poison. Just because I've only posted 10 times here in 2 years doesn't mean I wasn't in other communities. Of course you assume that because that's what people do...assume. I've watched the community deteriorate thanks in part to comments like "Stevie's". Instead of helping people improve their filming, majority of the "cool kids" throw them under the bus, yet they're all in each others threads kissing each others asses. How do you think that makes it for a new jack, or in my case someone who stepped away to do other things?

Bottom line, I'm not looking for praise. I'm looking for insight and advice on how to improve. I don't even mind if your a douche about giving it. I'm a grown man with pretty thick skin, and being a smart ass isn't knock on me, it's a knock on the other person's insecurities and their need to vent because their own lives lack meaning. All I want is feedback on what I need to do, and what I can do to improve my filming, lines and mindset to produce better quality stuff. If a person can't give it, as Stevie didn't, they're just wasting bandwidth.
I....have to agree.



As for the video, definitely needs work. Filming could be greatly improved by getting a little closer to the shin area if you're going for the whole "realistic" thing. Filming in general is like that for the majority of us. Tricks were a bit weird at times. I don't think a 360 inward heel over a 10 foot gap is "realistic", nor does it looks terribly good. And if you're concerned about playing realistically is boring, mix it up a little. A little gap to skinny can look realistic, even if you add a kickflip, and they can be damn hard, as well. Stuff like that.
