10+ years of GTAS!
« on: September 19, 2014, 06:03:19 AM »

Hey there everyone! GTAS has been around for over a decade now and i think everybody kinda forgot to make note of that. If anybody knows the exact date of creation of this forum, shoot please. A lot of stuff has happened in that decade and this place went through many phases. After all, i'm very glad this community still exists and i'd like to make a nice editoral blog post about everyone's favorite moments, events and especially video releases.

What made you join the community, which videos do you remember the most, what inspired you to stunt and what do you like about this commmunity?

Tell us all about it in this topic!

10 years! :a-cheer:

- JL

CONGRATULATIONS!

I started stunting when i had my playstion 2 and bought san andreas because i saw the video with darkness and keneda that was an awesome time, Also when i started stunting on pc i didnt know about framelimiter ( Pretty funny ) also starting to stunt on singeplayer but didnt find this intresting because i could not save and load so thats why i playd samp way more. After i got to hear about danyes main scm that ptrvy told me about i started installing it and started stunting on pc.

I guess the first and important thing to say in the blog article is the people who was all this years working to make this alive, like AJ Collings, Daffy, Simon, this guys always are making good job and helping everyone. Watch stunting videos and make stunts is a quite 'easy' thing, but behind all the funny and cool things are the organization and hard job.

Of course in all this years people maked memorable and legendary videos, like Hachi said, but show for new people (like me) how this forum become so big and gorgeous is a thing that i would love to know. The first stunters, very first videos, guys like Bearot an professional videomaker who created three classic SA videos and disappeared.

The evolution of stunting is being faster year by year, only five years ago people was stunting with FL ON and cabbie stunts like Grescha's finisher from Ubiquity were impossible to imagine, icons like Barney, Makramme, Daffy, MtS, talk about this kind of stuff would be cool :)

Sorry, but I reckon that's not entirely true, FL OFF was quite the norm in SA in 2008 already (I know as I joined in March of that same year).

Anyways, the videos that got me into GTAStunting were, ironically, pretty much all in VC: WH's Doperide III and Neuralgia, Daffy's Post Mortem and Dannye & Brulla's Tandem for standouts. Since I was mostly involved with SA from the beginning, if I had to name the most groundbreaking SA video I seen while here, that'd definitely be Onslaught, it kind of extremely moved the barrier of what's expected from an awesome SA video. The videos I'm most proud of (as productions I was involved in) may be found in my signature: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (my best of), dv's excellencE, The Emergency II and Memento. And my personal favourites would be Backstage, Aproxxage and Two Takes It.

Hope this gives at least some useful material :)

There's already a collaboration being set up regarding this! Sign up, yo!

Man, how this started; I began up in SA-MP doing those regular stunts with a friend, approximately 8 years ago (2005-2006). After a while, I began scrolling around GTA-WorldMods (modding community) where I found the first German community video Breath of A Nation; where I got first introduced to GTAStunting. And to word it up, that video still holds me up as it introduced me to who I call a some-what distant role model Cold Death. After a while, got into some small time bits of stunting (I was called PKDR4G0N back then :lol:). GTAS simply taught me a lot - not just in media or gaming technology, but diversity, world views, and what so.

Honestly, without this place - a lot of what I did wouldn't of been accomplished (outside the gaming views). I should remember that I keep in mind the usual bunch like Salyn, NoLimit andMugetsu (though we stopped talking a bit). People like Cold Death, Kr3mlin and such has really inspired my daily life activities and thoughts - I must say. I can never forget the joy I'd get when I did something here and the love I got from many people from this community. Participating in a collaboration in itself was something for myself, or even editing a video for someone else's career improvement. It became much of something that I began adding my expression of emotion and my art of mind into the hidden messages within these bike lifting videos. A place I call home, that is.

A happy 10th year anniversary GTAS, keep up the unusual please!  :wub:

First off, Nice blog and I love the pic you made JL  :a-cheer:


It all started for me in late 2005 when I was searching stuff about gta sa for pc, somehow I found gtas and I was hooked in. The very first video I remember watching was a ps2 video by Master Yayo, and a solo called "back in Black"(Tackleberry/kert duo I think) At the time I had a pc (not mine)that wouldn't run any games so I bought my own specifically for stunting on GTA SA,playing SA-MP and MTA.

Although there are so many ground breaking videos from so many different stunters over the years, these stand out the most for me. I stay mostly in the SA section, so not many VC vids I can name. If any of you youngsters have not seen any of these video, I highly recommend you do ;)

1. SA Smackdown (Darkness & Kaneda)
2. As One Again (XSA/TMS)
3. Onslaught (TMS)
4. Impure (XSA)
5. Wergild (GLS)
6.Trial by Fire (ATS)(VC)
7. Illusions (TMS)
8. Never Gonna Stop (Kert & Tackleberry duo)
9. Chapter XXIII (TMS)
10. New Blood (TMS)
11. Out of Reach (TMS)
12. Techjam (TMS (VC)

Ok, I have more but that's all I'm going to share or I will end up posting every TMS vid made :p

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GTAS!!!  :euro:

The first GTA-community i joined was GTA-worldmods.de on there i would meet people like MFox and Aschratt with whom i'd do some easy stunts on SA:MP like bumping onto wang cars.  :lol: Also KillaMarci and ColdDeath were hanging around on that forum and after a while stunting even got it's own sub-forum there. It wasn't until that point i'd learn about GTAS which "shocked" me at the time because i couldn't imagine there was such a big community about something that seemed so minor to me at that time.

The first proper stunting video i watched was As One Again and it blew my mind, made me join this place. I made my first solo with the lovely editing-help of BoBsaget and worked my up into XSA with a shitty audition. I joined XSA about the same time as godamit did, but never starred in any video, because i quickly switched over to WH as an editor (fun fact: never got to edit a single vid) after releasing Watch This! together with taz. :)

Most memorable vids for me:

1) AOA
2) SA Smackdown
3) Touch of a Samurai
4) Unorthodox
5) TMS Techjam
6) Nitzkit in general

Been here since Sept 2006, and I remember the whole day too. Watching Fugitive's GTA SA stunting tutorials lol. I just hate that I am not a very active person. I never made a video, and all my attempts got turnt down on collabs. Regardless, this was my 2nd online community I ever joined. I love coming here to know that there are dedicated GTA fans unlike the ones on GTAForums.
