Foreword:
Hey there! It's been quite some time since I last posted a project around here, but well... here I am for possibly one last time. To be precise, I wanna present you a farewell video, which - at the same time - is our homage to San Andreas.
Info:
The project has now come a long way: it started all the way back somewhere in 2018. In the beginning it was Ktulu & me only, but we struggled with the progress and had jeff joining us in for a trio. As time went on we gathered more and more participants (PrzemOO, Bart & Artifex) for the stunting. During the process I think we've all reached the point where stunting no longer was fun anymore. Instead it felt more like a tedious and necessary duty, only to get this over with. Lack of interest and motivation led to the insight, that we might be better off just stopping for good after this. Taking these struggles and a few minor setbacks into account, I am still very thankful for all the valuable contributions everyone has made and I think it turned out well. It really was a pleasure to have you guys on board for a final ride.
As for the editing job, Kacknase was kind enough to accept it at first, but unfortunately he vanished at some point last year and we had no more intel about the further progression. We hope he's doing well and I wanna thank him in the name of all participants nonethelese. Artifex was then kind enough to pick the project up. He managed to realize the video with the iconic SA live / console video feeling we were looking for. Thank you for taking all the time and especially for constantly taking our critical feedback into consideration. Shoutouts go out to MtS & Reynolds for helping out with several stuff during the creation progress hereby as well.

Stunts:
PrzemOO - NRG grind to FBI Rancher bounce to grind (1:22 - 1:41): What a creative stunt! 4.5/5
Ktulu - MTB bunnyhop to backstoppie TEC-9 bump to palm precision (1:41 - 1:54): This is your best spot with this method, great stunt! 4/5
PrzemOO - NRG ramp to gap to bump to military grind (1:54 - 2:07): Nice thinking, well done! 4/5
Bart - Infernus Packer to ramp to dropbump to building (2:07 - 2:20): Bart is back with a banger :ninja:. 5/5
Jeff - BMX curve ditch to satchel grab (2:20 - 2:30): I love the idea to ditch along a curve like this, the satchel grab was simply the icing on the cake! 4/5
Artifex - NRG bump to wallride to tree precision (2:30 - 2:40): Great stunt, not much else to say :D. 4/5
Bart - Infernus ramp to bump to SF ZIP building (2:40 - 2:53): My favourite way this building has been landed is still your Ultima spot, but this is impressive too! 4/5
Ktulu - NRG vertical PB to building (2:53 - 3:06): Damn good. 4.5/5
Jeff - NRG curb bump to 360 spin to bump to pizza precision (3:06 - 3:16): Very stylish, didn't blow me away though. 3.5/5
Ktulu - Infernus PB to building (3:16 - 3:28): Somehow these Infernus PB's tend to lack a sense of urgency for me, probably because the width of the Infernus on the Packer locks you into such a specific angle that there's not much room to manoeuvre. Still a fantastic stunt though! 4.5/5
Jeff - NRG bump to bonk to Ammunation billboard (3:28 - 3:40): This was nice but I know someone that may be disappointed given another possibility here, I liked it though :). 3.5/5
Ktulu - Cabbie boost to palm recoil to antenna precision (3:40 - 3:58): Awesome stunt! You posted this spot aaages ago, I'm glad you landed it :happy:. 5/5
Bart - Infernus tree dropbump to building (3:58 - 4:04): Dope spot. 4.5/5
Rusch69 - NRG PB to bump combo to chimney precision (4:04 - 4:24): Fucking awesome, you know I like a good ol' bump combo :euro:. 4.5/5
Ktulu - Taxi multiboost to chimney precision (4:24 - 4:37): Great stunt, something tells me it's old with a cabbie but I may be mistaken. 4/5
Rusch69 - Infernus ramp to bump to bridge dropbump to water gap (4:37 - 4:52): Not bad but it wasn't super visually appealing to me, I'm guessing there's something more to the difficulty that I'm not seeing without trying it. 3.5/5
Jeff - BMX and Monster Truck catapult to LS airport tower precision (4:52 - 5:10): Whaaaat? GOAT tier stunt, brilliant job! 5/5
Bart - Infernus vertical double bump to The Pink Swan building (5:10 - 5:30): Incredible stunt, you've been killing it! 5/5
Jeff - Vortex helimagnet backflip to naval grind (5:48 - 6:14): Now I wasn't expecting that, awwww yeah! 4.5/5
Bart - Infernus ramp to bump to SFPD building (6:14 - 6:23): Powerful stunt. 4.5/5
PrzemOO - BMX stoppie to explosion bounce to grab to grind (6:23 - 6:37): So good! I love the thought of having to catch up to to explosion from a distance, it gives it a real sense of verisimilitude. 4/5
Jeff - NRG curb bump to grind to explosion bounce to grind (6:37 - 6:45): Smooth and well designed, me likey :ninja:. 4/5
Ktulu - NRG side PB to beamride to crane precision (6:45 - 6:51): I haven't tried this, so I can't comment on whether the side PB was necessary. But this spot is quite pleasant, I must say :cc_detective:. 4/5
PrzemOO - NRG double krail to bonk to grind (6:51 - 6:58): I like the feeling of it in the moment, but it's not as memorable as some of your usual stunts. 3.5/5
Bart - Infernus dropbump to LS ZIP building (6:58 - 7:11): Amazing stunt! I'm not sure if the mid-air speed boost is from the editing or frame rate drops in the replay, but it did give it a slightly strange look. 5/5
PrzemOO - NRG grind to wallkick to double grind (7:11 - 7:24): This felt like a prime candidate for some MMM wallspins, but it was suitably stylish! 3.5/5
Bart - Infernus billboard dropbump to building (7:24 - 7:36): Great stunt as usual, but something about the stats doesn't feel as impressive as your other stunts. Nice use of the billboard though, clever man :happy:. 4/5
Jeff - NRG double bump to SF ZIP building (7:36 - 7:44): Splendid Jeff, you've got moves :ajaja:. 4.5/5
Rusch69 - NRG PB to LV parking lot precision (7:44 - 7:54): I've always wondered if this was possible with a vertical bump from Makrame's spot, this is still dope though! 4/5
Artifex - NRG roadsign spring to roadsign precision (7:54 - 8:02): You have an eye for the unusual, I'm down with this! 4/5
PrzemOO - NRG bridge backbump to backflip to grind (8:02 - 8:10): So stylish... you and your backflips :mellow:. 4/5
Jeff - NRG bump to Garver Bridge (8:10 - 8:16): Big stunt for sure, I'm guessing it's tricky but I don't know so yeah :P. 4/5
Ktulu - NRG side PB to Four Dragons tower precision (8:16 - 8:28): Sick man! That NRG though :happy:. 4.5/5
Rusch69 - NRG dropbump to tower precision (8:28 - 8:42): Dope stunt, I always wanted to dedicate the time to trying this with an Infernus but I never got round to it :(. 4.5/5
Bart - Infernus double bump to The High Roller building (8:42 - 8:56): Super impressive stunt, it doesn't have quite the same impact as The Pink Swan though of course :cheernutz:. 4.5/5
Ktulu - NRG double bump to wallride to ship precision (8:56 - 9:06): You did it man! I know you wanted to land this for a long time, phenomenal job ;D. 5/5
Final Thoughts:
I love this video. It exudes the sophistication and feeling of San Andreas, without fault. Everyone pulled together to land fascinating stunts, I can sense the spirit of collaboration down the bone. Artifex did a superb job, he really captured the wondrous immersion and atmosphere of playing the game for the first time, and I felt that sense of nonchalant joy via every idiosyncrasy of the presentation. You guys have been close for a long time, and that kindred connection is self-evident from your collective dedication to the vision. I congratulate you all on your final send off, hopefully I can talk to you guys again when I come back in the summer if you'd like :wub:.
5/5
