Conor Davidson did a better job on Tilt 1 than Dylan did on Tilt 2 in terms of editing, song choice and overall feel imo. Tilt 2 was great, but every song was so similar, maybe except for Jordan's. The vibes from Tilt 1 is so much better than Tilt 2. It might be the VX, or maybe the diversity. Having riders like Josh Young and Tyler Wheeland in the video made the team seem so much cooler. RIP badass Tilt

Usually I let people have an opinion on videos, parts, etc but I really think you're wrong. I love Conor and his work but apart from the animation/titles, Tilt 2 just had better production quality.
Song choice in Tilt 2 was so much better. I actually felt like these songs matched the riding and person unlike Tilt 1. Jordans song in Tilt 1 was probably the worst song to ever be used for a part.
I know that you probably like the VX but this was probably the first time that HD scooter parts have looked good apart from that shop in Barca.
Love Josh but his footage that he uploaded that was supposedly for this was subpar and Tyler wouldn't of had any footage anyway.

Oh ok, so this time you wont let me have an opinion? Cool.

Anyway, I also respect and like Dylan's work, he is in fact one of the few people in the industry that I feel takes his time to make well made videos.
That being said, I still like the feel of Tilt 1 better. Better vibes, for the most part better song choices (I do agree that Jordan's song is pretty weird though), better filming and bigger contrasts. That's actually one of the main things I disliked about Tilt 2. When all the songs categorize under the same (kinda boring) music genre, it doesn't feel refreshing when a new part comes on (Jordan's song is an exception). With Josh and Tyler, this wouldn't have been the case. Josh always has some crazy gangsta rap haha and Tyler usually use cool songs.

Still, I will let you have an opinion on the case, but I really think you're wrong too.
