Xtramus - Hot Potato

Hot Potato
A VC/LC Parkour solo

Hey everyone, happy to announce a new parkour solo by me. In my opinion, it's short and rather simple yet sweet. The video is actually the result of a lot of things coming together.

First of all, the section hasn't seen all that much activity lately; don't worry, we ain't dead yet! Some things just take their time. Second, I've been doing quite some parkour lately meaning I had quite a few reps lying around. Third, I've been wanting to use this song, as it's pretty fucking laid back - perfect for a parkour vid IMO.

Now, life has become increasingly busy (hasn't it for all of us) and with everything going on I didn't feel all that much like putting all my free time towards editing (actually, I didn't want to edit it at all...). So, I figured I'd just keep it simple.

Nothing more to say - enjoy the video!

P.S.: If anyone wants I can upload a download link, but I've noticed parkour usually doesn't get a lot of attention so I figured a streaming link would be enough. Let me know if you want a DL link though - I'm happy to provide one if anyone wants it.

Awesome stuff, X. I particularly enjoyed 0:51, 1:12, 1:19, 1:39, 1:59 and 2:18. The creativity on some of those spots was just great. It reminded me a lot of the parkour part in Colossus.

Was 1:56 planned (the last jump) or just a happy accident? If it was the first then it's sick  :D My favorites were the heli jump (genius) and the telephone thing landing. Very entertaining video  :a-cheer:

That was great, it's always nice to have a break from all the monotony of the typical big airs/heavy music videos. Standouts (for me atleast) would definitely be the bigbang golf caddy at the carpark, the heli jump and the combo on the LC bridge. Very enjoyable video, gave me some nostalgia to when Excellent II came out :cc_detective:

Planned - the bump from the police van is slightly annoying (getting the angle), the jumps leading up to it are easy. The jump at the end at least makes it a worthwhile combo (otherwise, it's pretty simple).

Thanks for the nice comments so far to everyone :)

What an amazing parkour video. My personal favourites was all the combos. Because after all it is a parkour video. It was pretty awesome to watch than GTAS is more than just people flying in vehicles. Good too see and there was some pretty creative stunts within too. I think it was an good idea to keep it short and split the videos in the the future videos. It was quite simple and awesome. Good job, X!  :rolleyes:

That was refreshingly random - also, you're still active? Mental haha.
