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.
Definitely the vibes of the two videos are completely different, mostly due to the camera and song choices, but tilt 2's was not that much worse. Some riders (especially monky) are more suited to being filmed with a vx, but some of them I thought benefitted from the camera choice (Dylan, Jon, and Jordan). As for the song choices, you can't really blame Dylan for that, because the riders got to pick their own songs. Either way, the songs weren't that bad at all. The only one's I can think of that sound generic were Isaac's, Jona's, and Tom's, and those songs weren't even that bad. I do agree though that Josh and Tyler made Tilt 1 a lot better. Ralph and Erik will definitely be similarly missed in the next one. As for what you said about the filming, I can't really see much of a difference in the two videos.

In my opinion, Tilt 2 was released too early. My reason was that all of the riders could've done way better, I think there was too much hype around the release. I feel that with a couple months time could make a huge difference . Also can we talk about how Matt Mckeen is on proto and river, like is that even possible!?!?

He got on River first, and then he got added to the Proto team. Would be strange if he quit River at that point. I'm sure Andrew Broussard doesn't mind having him on two of his companies even though they both make wheels.

Thought I'd give some input.

It's a little hard to compare the two, for a couple reasons. Obviously format switching from SD to HD completely changes the vibe (or is supposed to). Tilt 1 was a homiecam VX video. Tilt 2 was a homiecam video pretending to be a high production HD video. Scootering isn't at the point where we can have one filmer film the majority of the video to keep things consistent, which sucks. So the filming on each IMO was pretty much the same, save for B-Roll that was virtually nonexistent in Tilt 1.

The other difference was that for Tilt 1, none of the team saw ANY of the video until the premiere. Conor edited everything and we had no input on our sections (and yeah I did not choose my song!). Tilt 2 we were able to work with Dylan to make adjustments in our parts. I had like 7 or 8 drafts, going through a few songs until I found one that both Dylan and I were hyped on. Dylan in general does tend to pick the "safe" song choices, which is strange because he used to kill it with song choices. Also Tom's song is Tilt 2 was tight af and if you think otherwise you're dumb and I hate you. It just fits him so well.

For sure it sucked not having Josh and Tyler, and will suck without Ralph and Erik now. But everyone still on the team is rad so anything we do should be cool.

There was some talk on if we get paid or not...we get a small amount monthly, compared to what the envy/phoenix/grit/etc guys get. We also do get a payout for each production run of signature parts. Nowhere near close enough to live off, though. However, this year is going to be a lot different for Tilt so we'll see what happens.

ps buy my sig wheel it should be out in spring?? it makes u have godlike balance and swag
