Untold Story of RAD
« on: May 29, 2024, 03:51:59 PM »
Well well well... The time I've waited the most.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present a video that took a fk ton of time to make, and without some of you guys, I would've never been able to do this. First can we get a huge thanks to PaTt? that man is a freaking legend, spoiling the whole story for himself just so he could help me out and voice over his fellow Australian stunter :). Thanks to puzzle for coming through with the crazy ass quality mics and giving me the nuttiest voice of gtas to explain stunting tech for the normies. And thanks to all of you who pitched in this in any way they could.. Thanks to every single stunter who helped out and sent me their replays. Even Burn found few of Taz's replays.. CRAZYYY. But mostly thank you, RAD and you too Sheikah, you hit up RAD with my questions.. You're a legend man, it was my dream for years to make a video about this.. And it finally became a reality. Enjoy.

)P.S I skipped over some very small thingies RAD mentioned, but the full script has been released in the GTAS Discord. So if you're a story lover, be sure to hop on gtas dc and have a read  :wub:

So fun to see something we're all so used to and have normalized shine in a documentary format like this man. Legit puts things into perspective, this shit makes me extra proud of the community and especially you for taking the time to put it together.
Never gonna stop giving you props for this <3

Great video Komp! There was a fair amount of info in there I wasn't aware of which was great to follow along with.

Thank you for having me help tell RAD's story. Honoured to be part of it!

Great video, it was cool to get to know the exact story. And yes, what we see as totally normal today was once non-existent, so somebody had to discover it. It must have felt awesome to find out you can go significantly faster, or have that edge for a certain period of time. Also, I have thought about the name of this method as well and thank god it was found out by a guy named RAD  :lol:

Good man, love the deep dive format and it was so polished and well executed here. Bonus points for the intriguing Lithuanian accent.

Thanks to Rad, Dannye, Fugitive, Aries, Samurai, Kr3mlin and other teachers, creators and innovators.
It's sad to see our community in this state but we will always remember the glory days. Kudos for the effort put into making this video.

Quite an interesting watch, great work putting it all together! Cool to learn the details about how it all came about - until now I had only recalled that at some point people started doing it, and that RAD was seemingly involved, that was about it, haha. I also got a nice chuckle from the included reflection on how things might've been had TD or someone else introduced it to the forums instead.
