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 (http://www.gtastunting.net/index.php?topic=5018) 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.
