I - The Beginning: [T]eam [Ur]ban [F]ree [F]low

At a Gamespot SA PS2 forum, 5 guys met eachother. Their names were:

    * bj070893
    * Brainkiller
    * Swoish
    * Goggle Eyes Mcgee
    * pwnd618

They formed [T]eam rban [F]ree [F]low. Three of them made Where The Streets Have No Name: bj070893, Brainkiller and pwnd618. They released it at Gamespot. Many people liked it there. This was still in the PS2 SA stunting era.
II - Wins And Losses: Major Changes

After WTSHNN, CORBO_152 joins [T][F][F]. Xtramus auditions for [T][F][F] on their first forums, which at a night crashed. Trying to help [T][F][F] recover, he aids them by creating a new one for them. Several weeks after the creating of this forum Xtramus is accepted into [T][F][F].

On the new forums, [T][F][F] decided to change their name. A poll was created and the outcome was.. Urban Stunt Syndicate!

III - Resurrected: A New Start

In a period were USS hung on a silk string, new light shined in the form of new members. After Liviu joined, along with Akuma. Stuntman auditioned several times, but was refused twice. When he comes with a third audition video, USS decides to take him.

Resurrection, a SA video featuring bj070893, Xtramus, Liviu and guest m3rrix and tommydanger gets released.

IV - Wins And Losses: Major Changes II

After Resurrection, USS plans a VC video: Paramount. Liviu and stuntman don't stunt in VC and decide to make a collaboration video in the meanwhile, Two Man Army. Liviu auditions for XSA and is accepted. Stuntman has his doubts about leaving USS, but is convinced not to worry by Xtramus on a night. He auditions for XSA as well and gets accepted too.

The work in Paramount almost completely stops. There are just not enough members to make it work.

Xtramus releases Pandemonium, a first video that is quite a disappointment. People expected more from him.

Xtramus releases Delirium, a second video with some, for his level, mindblowing stunts. This contains his first ever LC stunts and comments are very good.

Several days later, bj070893 releases a SA solo entitled Voltage, which is his return to solo videos. An amazing effort seeing as how the improvement is jaw-dropping.

bj070893 and Xtramus make a collaboration video called Aversion II, the sequel to Aversion, which featured bj070893 and Brainkiller.

After Aversion II, USS gets an audition from Falcon, who is fairly new at the time. He is accepted into USS. Not much later, Question auditions as well and is accepted.

V - A Success Story - Time To Shine

The long awaited crew representative collaboration, Phenomenon, is released, which featured Xtramus as the USS representative. At the time, Falcon is already in USS but he still represents his old crew Lost Elements. The comments are slightly disappointed seeing as how people expected more...

However, having received a boost from the two new members, USS re-starts work on Paramount, and after a lot of hard work it's released. The comments are fabulous, and USS takes a big ego boost.

Xtramus releases Dynamic, a third solo video which is rather slow paced, but contains some awesome stunts.

Question releases a solo entitled Abolition, which contains stunts by him and is edited by BurnoutLS13.

bj070893 releases a emptying-the-rep-bin solo called Diffusion, to practice his editing for future videos.

Still on the high from all the good comments about Paramount, USS starts working on another crew video, Backdraft. After fast but hard work, it gets released. Even though people find it not as good as Paramount, people still like it. However, due to inactivity Akuma cannot participate and later on is kicked from USS.

After Backdraft, Plethzorb joined USS.

VI - First In History: The Three Crew Collab, Delta.

Question participates in a night themed collaboration, Total Blindness, alongside BurnoutLS13 and Fate.

Just a few days later, the new US video, Unlimited is released, in which Question is a guest star. Two collabs in such a short time, an amazing effort.

Xtramus, shortly after Backdraft releases a LC solo entitled For Trust And Honour. It�s a personal marking point, seeing as how some of his best stunts are in it. The comments are fabulous, people even go as far as saying one stunt is modded. He returns to LC to re-do it and wipes all the accusations away with a re-done version of the stunt.

DSU, TMS and USS team up in one of the most amazing videos of 2006, a three crew collaboration entitled Delta. This is the first collaboration video with 3 crews, and is a landmark for USS. bj070893�s editing was amazing and the stunts were superb.

Xtramus decides to step down from his admin position only after being it for just a few weeks. He says he lost the urge to stunt and apologizes for his unexpected departure. A few days later he returns and explains he was stressed out that night. Luckily, people forgive him for it and not much later he has his admin position back.

A while after Delta, Xtramus releases two 24H Grenade boosting videos:

Excellent

Excellent II

Both of these took 24 hours each, including editing and uploading and were made in two days altogether. An amazing effort, two solos in two days!
VII - A Big Step: USS hits the spot

USS receives a spot on GTAS' own crew network! A well deserved spot, according to theirselves and a lot of others.

bj070893 releases a best of video called Sentenced To Stunt. He didn�t have his replays from Aversion anymore so stunts were recorded straight out of Aversion.

Question features in a taxi collaboration, Skyward, alongside ATS' Neo Anderson, XGS' BurnoutLS13, Ralleee before getting in USS and ZS' THEFTman. The video gets lots of praise from a lot of people.

USS gains a new stunter called Ralleee, a great stunter in SA and open to VC. Being convinced by his SA solo, Arrival, Ralleee will be a fine addition to the team.
VIII - Reformation of Loss

Falcon leaves the USS, eventually joining TMS.

Question leaves the USS, to pursue his own projects.

USS reforms and bonds as a four-man crew. New ideas brew, more ability is gained.

The USS lives on with plans for action.

IX - More Losses

USS get to work on their next crew video, Nobility, and drop plans for an SA video as there aren't enough members to call it a crew video. Shortly before Nobility's release, PlethZorb starts talking to TMS about joining. Nobility is to be his last crew video with USS.

Nobility is released, edited by bj070893, and a lot of people like it. PlethZorb leaves USS for TMS.

A while after Nobility is released, Ralleee and Daf-Fy! start talking of merging WH and USS. bj070893 and Xtramus are against the idea. Ralleee decides to leave to join WH.

X - Reconstruction

USS begin a search for new members. Two members would not make them a crew. After a while CJD sends in an audition, edited freshly by TMS' Kingjad. He is turned down at first but after serious thought reconsidered and accepted.

Not long after, Xtramus releases two solos; Black and White. Black features high and far stunts, whilst White focuses more on creativity. It is greatly enjoyed by the community.

CJD organizes a collab called Desire. A lot of people enjoy it, and congratulate Cjd on a pretty good first editing job.

Not much later CJD and Xtramus appear in the new community video, "Interlocked", which featured a total of 39 stunters. The video gets much praise on several places including GTAStunting.com and YouTube.

Things start tumbling in after that. bj070893 has his exams coming up and disappears to study. He occasionaly pops in for a bit of talking though.

Xtramus organises a collaboration, which he planned to edit himself. However, due to school cutting down his free time he hands over the editing job to Torque, who manages to create a very impressive video: Lockdown.

Written by Xtramus & bj070893.

Awesome stuff, but I remember saying this before but heck I'll say it again  Aversion wasn't my audition for .:vERt:.

[Turtle Dick]

Very nice.  I like how it's written in different 'chapters', GJ
I missed the part where KaynT got in USS for a while, or is that on purpose?

[Makrame]

Awesome job on writing this, that was really enjoyable to read. I only knew the story from the 5th chapter

[Crazy]

Awesome job on writting that! It's interesting to read  But shouldn't the: BJ releases his best-of Sentenced-To-Stunt be in the X - Reconstruction ? Or did i got something wrong ?

[Darkyy]

[Raskal]
