Well, yeah kind of. I don't hang out with him on the weekends, but we enjoyed filming together. But I'm mainly backing him because of A. I think he is very talented at videography, and he makes it look very smooth and appealing. And B. because I feel as though people shouldn't be hating on this video too hard based on the fact that it is very positive exposure for our sport, whether people love or hate the video. It has already become the #1 trending video on YouTube and Redbull has shared the video and acknowledged that scootering is getting big.
It's also the idea that I don't like people hating a video just because of the equipment used. I use a glidecam, I like glidecam, DSLR videos, I like park, MGP, Elyts and AO videos, but I still enjoy watching Addict and Proto videos. They aren't filmed the same way I like to see, but that's not always the only thing about the video. I think it's just kind of annoying to me that people aren't very open with what they like. They like one type of riding, filming, editing, and rider, and if all of those don't match, they don't like it. I just want people to be more open with their interests in videos.
Haha that was long.
