Colorado Shred Symposium 2 Footage
Erik Chan has been posting videos on YouTube under a new handle (nonHackrifice) recently. He’s been publishing a cool selection of videos, one of which (in two parts) is the video I made almost 7 years ago now after the Colorado Shred Symposium #2. He had to bust into two parts as I “spaced out” a few times in the production (I was new to video editing) and included some long juggling shots. There are some good historical shots in there, however, including Lon Smith’s epic 45 second shred. Erik writes in the video description:
A documentary by Allan Haggett of the Colorado Shred Symposium 2. I had to split this file into two parts for YouTube, since the original is, like, 19 minutes long. This video includes Lon Smith’s epic 45-second shred. Of course Ryan wasn’t at this CSS (as far as I know he was only at CSS1 and CSS5 I think it was…), but it was still monumental for sure.
Featuring: “Big Add” Chad Devlahovich, Daryl “Genzu Blades” Genz, Kenny “Enforcer” Shults, “Disco Ninja” Tuan Vu, Allan “
Talon” Haggett, Sunil “Tsunami” Jani, Jon “Outsider” Schneider, Peter “Executioner” Irish, Richie “Renegade” Abshire, “Shred On” Lon Smith, Eric “Ironman” Wulff, Ahren “The Torch” Gehrman.
On a trivia note: this is the tournament at which I was inducted into the Big Add Posse along with Richie Abshire and Yacine Merzouk. As the video states at the beginning, it also has a bit of footage that was shot at the same time as Tricks of the Trade 2 an instructional footbag video that we sell in the shop.
And here’s Part 1 for those who don’t want to make the jump off-site:
Keep up the good work Erik! Thanks
