One time at Breck I was cruising down to the park at speed which I thought was decently fast, nothing to be impressed over. But then here comes Spong flying pass me, switch. I thought it was pretty legit.

Did I really spot a Trapcode trial-version watermark (red X) on the shot at 0:36 ??  Come on Rage, you can afford to buy legit After Effects plug-ins...

that day at bachelor was so damn sick! he started off at his 5s and worked up the ladder till he got all the way up to 10s both ways and switch. then started chucking the doubles. all with saying like 5 sentences. later that day i caught a smile of mhim on camera...that was another breakthrough!
