Thanks for all the nice comments! I've gotten more into this kind of taxi stunting with all the rollboosting going on, which I personally think is pretty shit tbh but to each their own. The boost function can be used for so much more though, so I had a blast doing these stunts. Particularly the fact that the combo stuff requires much more input than just mashing the boost button like a madman, which just makes it a more enjoyable way of stunting for me. If I succeeded in capturing that in that video then I'm fully content - and going by the comments that went pretty well.

So thanks, and I hope to see more taxi stunting like this from others too! :)

Also liked that all stunts were done without rollboosts
You wouldn't even spot the difference in 90% of the stunts in this video, if not in every stunt shown here. There isn't a solid difference in the height you can get apart from rolling being more consistent when it comes to supplying inputs when the game can handle them.
I don't understand fully what do you mean, but i know that for stunts like Xtramus did, you can use button or mswheel and there is no difference in the height. When i wrote my post, i more had in mind that it's more interesting to see those boosts, compared to simple high rollboosts to roof for example..
Of course most of them are far more interesting than simple high roofs, but jumping down from a roof onto a burger falls in the same boring category for me. I really enjoyed this video, don't mistake my words, but all these rollboost claims left, right and center annoy me. RedX has been using normal button mashing boosting since forever and has gotten massive height off of really tiny walls. I could show you lots of stunts and you wouldn't be able to tell if they had been done using rollboosting or doing it the regular way. That includes simple high roofs. I rarely ever land a 'big' roof unless the boost to get there is somewhat stylish, but even on my 50ft boost2precs people give me shit for using my mouse when it makes absolutely no difference at all. I'm not magically going to fly up 1000ft, this is not SA. You could've just said that you liked the video because it was not focused on just landing high places but instead you took a dump on people's effort without knowing you're wrong.

Yeah, i could say like this, my bad (it's because of my bad english). But please don't think that i hate rollboosting, i don't care if stunt was landed with button or mouse wheel, i more rate the idea and execution of the stunt. I wrote not correctly in my first post, i'm sorry.
P.S. Anyway, i think that rollboosting give the advantage in boosting and some spots are not possible to land without rollboost.

I think it's clear which stunt I liked the most.  :P amazing landing on that precision man. I liked it alot , it's great to have guys like you who show variety with creative ideas when most of the rest of gtas is more concentrated on bigairs, crazy double grinds ecc.

Damn this was great! That electricity tower stunt stands among the best VC taxi stunts ever landed. Some of the grinds were very good, and I liked some of the unorthodox combos on display. I think that you could have snipped away some of the more basic stunts and replaced them with more unique concepts; they didn't stand up against the rest of the stunts. I wanted to download this video properly, but the links were dead, so I downloaded it from Vimeo instead :euro:. Good job man.
