Burnt Ass
A new duo by Burn and Taz
Hi folks !
After a fairly 4 years working time we finally did it ! I have to say we really put a lot of efforts in that video, most of the stuff is like the best we can get of ourselves. This is by far the video I'm the most proud of, first of all because this is a collaboration with my idol and favourite stunter and also because I had to push my own limits for that final project. You can expect a lot of big air stunts in that video but also good technical stuff for some fresh variety. I hope you guys are going to enjoy that shit as much as we enjoyed playing that game through those 10 years.

Burnt Ass - Full Review by VaNilla
Stunting:
Taz - NRG Big-Air Bump to Billboard (00:22 - 00:33): Brutal opener; amazing stunt! 10/10
Burn - NRG P2B to Rail Building (00:33 - 00:40): Never thought of this; fantastic job! 9/10
Taz - Infernus Bush Bump to Bonk to Caligula (00:40 - 00:50): Just when I thought Bart killed this building, you owned it. 10/10
Burn - NRG Grind to Backwards Bump to Grind (00:54 - 01:03): Shame you lost this to Biel, but great job landing it. Biel's execution is my favourite, provided it wasn't modded. 8/10
Taz - NRG Grind to Wallride to Grind (01:03 - 01:23): Nice twist on an old concept, but I think it's a little soso compared to MeetMyMeat's spot. 7/10
Burn - NRG Packer Double Bump to Casino Building (01:23 - 01:34): Fucking nice stunt man! 9/10
Taz - NRG P2B to Building Bump to Top Landing (01:34 - 01:54): Excellent stunt; I was trying this naturally a while back :P. 9/10
Burn - Infernus Double Bump to Four Dragons (01:55 - 02:20): Loved it; I found this while stunting for ANOMALY, pretty fucking hard spot! 9/10
Taz - NRG SF Bridge Backwards Bump to Grind (02:20 - 02:36): Brilliant stunt, and it looks much better than leetcake's modded landing! 9/10
Burn - NRG Spin Bump to Wallride to Grind (02:36 - 02:53): So stylish; absolutely sick! 9/10
Taz - NRG Stairs Bump to Building (02:53 - 03:11): God damn... you're from another galaxy. 10/10
Burn - Infernus Double Bump to Huge Building (03:11 - 03:26): Insane stunt; it was a pleasure to watch you land this on Twitch! 10/10
Taz - NRG Bump to Ledge Grind to Breakable Spin Grind (03:26 - 03:35): Best version of this spot, and the best breakable grind. 8/10
Burn - NRG Hammer Grab to Grind (03:35 - 03:44): My favourite kind of stunts are grabs and grinds; lovely to see them in San Andreas! The spot and the speed of the grind was slightly underwhelming though. 8/10
Taz - Freeway Bump to Double Grind (03:44 - 03:57): So good! Must have been a pain in the ass. 9/10
Burn - NRG Bump to Wallride to Bonk to Grind (03:57 - 04:07): Great find; looks tricky! 8/10
Taz - NRG Big-Air Bump to Naval Base Grind (04:07 - 04:26): GOD LEVEL! Rochepeach ruined this with mods; great to see it taken back! 10/10
Burn - NRG P2B to Bonk to FleischBerg (04:26 - 04:32): Finally landed to the top; amazing work! 9/10
Taz - Infernus Fence Dropbump to Huge Building (04:32 - 04:38): Dan modded this, but your landing was wonderful. 9/10
Burn - NRG P2B to Quarry Building (04:38 - 04:47): Damn it, I really wanted to try this someday :euro:! Fucking amazing. 10/10
Taz - NRG LV Highway Bump to Massive Building (04:47 - 04:55): I'm comfortable with saying this is the best natural bump of all time, including VC and SA. 10/10
Burn - Infernus Double Bump to Massive Building (04:55 - 05:12): Just like Bart's landing, a truly incredible stunt. It's a shame that you lost it, but you did land it first! 10/10
Editing:
I was surprised to see that Taz made this; I was expecting JL to pick up the task. Good job man, you did pretty well! You never got in the way of the stunts, and it was constantly enjoyable. I liked the way you gave the stunts room to breathe; it was important not to rush through such masterpieces. As far as downsides go, the colours were okay, but a little boring in my opinion, and the while the finisher is insane, I think you should have finished the video with Burn's NRG P2B to Quarry Building. Thumbs up, you did your thing man!
Soundtrack:
Cool song; I think it worked well! Neutral point for me; I didn't love it or hate it.
Overall:
Wow guys, I'm blown away. You managed to land the best SA big-air stunts of all time, your car stunts were monstrous, and some of the grinds were brilliant. Burn proved he's one of SA's greatest stunters, no doubt; I feel like you've always been on the verge of the top 5, but you pushed yourself to a whole new level. Taz though... man you went god-level here, for real. My favourite stunts are usually not big-air stunts, I'm a bigger fan of super creative shit (not to say you're not creative)... but despite this, you might have just taken the best SA stunter of all time label. If I really had to nitpick you guys, the level of creativity/variety on show was a SUPER minor flaw in my opinion; I wasn't too surprised with the spots you landed, compared to some more unorthodox stunters, and while all of your stunts were amazing, landing some aircraft/boat/bicycle/cabbie stunts would have made for a more rounded video. But this video was mindblowing; I'm honestly shocked by how far you guys pushed the game. If this is the last high-level SA stunting video, I think GTAStunting has gone out on a stratospheric high point ;D.
10/10

Burnt Ass - Full Review by HITLER
Stunting:
Taz - NRG Big-Air Bump to Billboard (00:22 - 00:33): Unfortunately this one got modded a few years ago already. It didn't come as a surprise no more and you could've picked something more fitting for the opening stunt imo.
Burn - NRG P2B to Rail Building (00:33 - 00:40): As soon as I saw you approaching, I was hoping you'd have gone for the grind, cuz I've been trying to land that long ago myself.
Taz - Infernus Bush Bump to Bonk to Caligula (00:40 - 00:50): Well known spot and not surprising, but very nicely executed and impressive by it's difficulty. The execution really makes you assume the slightly higher part with the tiles could be a thing.
Burn - NRG Grind to Backwards Bump to Grind (00:54 - 01:03): While I appreciate the thought of having variety, I consider this stunt waaaaay too weak for a video of this kind. In fact I've had this just as a derp'ish fun spot myself a few years back. The fact Biel landed/stole (?) it not long ago should've discarded it anyways imo.
Taz - NRG Grind to Wallride to Grind (01:03 - 01:23): Again, a tech'ish approach, but this just doesn't do it for me honestly. Greater stunts have been pulled off with those exit ramps already and a grind 2 wallride 2 grind wasn't anything new as a conceptin.
Burn - NRG Packer Double Bump to Casino Building (01:23 - 01:34): Another reland of a previously modded stunt. I can give you props for investing the effort it takes, but it comes to no surprise it's not catching one off-guard.
Taz - NRG P2B to Building Bump to Top Landing (01:34 - 01:54): This combo was more than obvious ever since Dani0 landed the roof. It's yet another spot I tried myself for a while and therefore it was no surprise. The additional Packer was a bummer, even though I know how annoying it is.
Burn - Infernus Double Bump to Four Dragons (01:55 - 02:20): Now, that's what I'm talking about! Unexpected and big natural stunt with a tricky way of bumping. The execution with the bonk on the tip looked very nice. Landing the tip would've completely killed it.
Taz - NRG SF Bridge Backwards Bump to Grind (02:20 - 02:36): Aaaaaand another reland of a previously modded stunt. Very good execution nonetheless.
Burn - NRG Spin Bump to Wallride to Grind (02:36 - 02:53): Great new approach and usage of the terrain combined with a slick execution - that's the way I like it!
Taz - NRG Stairs Bump to Building (02:53 - 03:11): I did not see this one coming. No matter how picky I am, there's nothing to complain about!
Burn - Infernus Double Bump to Huge Building (03:11 - 03:26): With this one you pretty much made the most out of Infernus bumping. Props for the effort on this thing.
Taz - NRG Bump to Ledge Grind to Breakable Spin Grind (03:26 - 03:35): While your execution was very nice, I still think this stunt is just too weak for this video.
Burn - NRG Hammer Grab to Grind (03:35 - 03:44): A proper airgrab to grind was long overdue in SA. I like the fact you didn't pussy out and went straight for a ledge grind instead of a just fence alike grind (the plane collisions, that the bikes just lock on, you know).
Taz - Freeway Bump to Double Grind (03:44 - 03:57): Meh, another reland. It's been done in both, SA & SAiVC, but with different vehicles already.
Burn - NRG Bump to Wallride to Bonk to Grind (03:57 - 04:07): I like the idea and there's nothing wrong with your execution, but it still feels too ordinary for a project like this.
Taz - NRG Big-Air Bump to Naval Base Grind (04:07 - 04:26): Well... it's been modded before as well, but regardless of that, this stunt is just mental, amen. The execution was flawless too.
Burn - NRG P2B to Bonk to FleischBerg (04:26 - 04:32): And again, no surprise, because I had been trying this one too. Well done!
Taz - Infernus Fence Dropbump to Huge Building (04:32 - 04:38): Yet another reland, meh! The only thing I can appreciate about these is the effort it takes to land them, but that's it. They're boring and not impressive anymore imo.
Burn - NRG P2B to Quarry Building (04:38 - 04:47): I tried landing this shit by P2B'ing the higher part of the building. About fucking time that cylinder got nailed. The outer precision is a bit too much to ask for, but you know I'm a crab!
Taz - NRG LV Highway Bump to Massive Building (04:47 - 04:55): I knew this was possible in theory, because I measured and briefly tested it some time ago. I never expected anyone to be mentally defective enough to put in the effort and nerves it takes. When I saw you approaching it in the intro already, I was pretty sure you'd only have landed the lower part of it, but then you just topped it off. This one should've been the finisher imo.
Burn - Infernus Double Bump to Massive Building (04:55 - 05:12): Unfortunate you lost it. You shouldn't have used it anymore and replaced it with one of your spare stunts.
Editing:
H265 & FLAC - check. I'm glad you've taken over this job, because I think JL couldn't have done justice to the stunts in terms of quality. The editing itself was pretty generic, but I guess that's what you guys wanted. Nothing fancy, just some complementary effects here and there to the stunts. However, personally I would've liked something heavier and unoridnary to round it off as crazy package on all aspects.
Soundtrack:
The song is fine to me as a whole. I just don't like the rather calm parts with the vocals that much. I think it took the wind out of the sails a little at times. Anyways, the guitar parts are pretty dope! It could've been better/worse, but it was a safe bet kinda.
Overall:
This was the only video that I had been looking forward to for years. Unfortunately I knew way too many of the stunts that you guys landed already. Many sstunts either came with no surprise, were too weak or just relands of previously modded stunts (I consider these old; I know most people don't). I just can't really appreciate relands apart from the effort they take. On the other hand, there was some real killers too, so this was a really weird mixture to me. I expected you two to go completely all out and land every stunt in the absolute best possible way without a single compromise. There's certainly some flaws, but I'm just a picky asshole - no hard feelings. Regardless of that, the tremendous effort you both have invested into some of those stunts can not be denied and is simply astonishing. There's never gonna be a perfectly flawless video, considering that opinions always vary, but I had my hopes up for this one. I have to admit that it was a little disappointing as a whole, but don't get me wrong, this was the strongest video in years! Maybe I just expected a little bit too much
