Blast From The Past: Twos Tale

[m3rrix]

The blast from the past section of the blog will remind readers of videos that have had some effect on the GTAS community. I hope to update this every week-or-so and eventually bring on guests to introduce us to one of their favourites (and hopefully explain what it means to them). So, let's get things started.

Emerging from relative obscurity, Nagual and Pep released Twos Tale in June of 2005. In a period dominated by BSMs and rock anthems, their take on stunting brought something fresh to the forums.

The video is split in two parts. In the first Nagual gets the video going with some great pole bumps and roof stoppies. Pep’s section, prefering more cinematic camera angles and experimental editing, includes a couple of impressive wallrides and to my knowledge, the first stoppie-ledgegrind. The style of the stunting was something new and the community had mixed reactions.

Perhaps where Twos Tale stood out and remains of note to this day was in its editing. Pep's choice of colour filtering and music is what gives the video its vitality and the splicing in of other clips only helps build the momentum.

A big influence on TMS’ kert and kr3mlin, Twos Tale remains a one-of-a-kind video, refreshing and inspiring.

Amazing! Two thumbs up for this "Balst from the past" thing, I already look forward to the next one!

Shame I haven't seen this video before, the stunts are seriously sick for it's time. Great video.

This is good use of the blog space, nobody cares about steam sales! Great read and great video

Very nice idea, gonna keep a watch on this series. Twos Tale is one heck of a sick video for that time of day. Pep is such a beast.

Oh man, this series is exactly what we need. A lot of new stunters could learn a lot from watching videos like this. I still don't get why Pep was the only guy ever to edit with trails turned on 

Although I only joined in 06, I'd love to guest in this.

One of my all-time favorites, I remember not expecting much when I downloaded it (just did it because I've always enjoyed Nagual's stuff), but then being totally blown away. Easily a 10/10 for me

This is one of my favorite videos ever. The stoppie ledge grind was shocking the first time I watched it . The part where it was taking a picture of that girls ass was really funny and cool.

I totally agree, I was the same.
