Session With Lon Smith

Post by Chase » 12 Aug 2008 01:58

So Lon and I had been talking about the raw vids that players have been selling links for, but he's kinda afraid the matrix will get him if he becomes too involved in the internets...

So I'm helping him get started, $5 per link. You can paypal me at chase.cardburns@gmail.com, and then PM me so I can send you the link.

Sessions with Lon 7-22-08
12min
(271MB)
Good quality, not just the video option on my digital camera...


It's not just a raw shred video. It's highlights from a session, kicks, laughs, a short story... kinda... but mostly awesome shred.

Thanks for your support!

Here is a youtube preview that doesn't do the quality of video, or the quality of shred even remote justice.

The title is really fitting; watching this really felt like being at a session with Lon. So fun. Only, I didn't notice any Weezer in the background. :-P

Thanks for making it!

Ah, I see it's up.

Worlds footage looks great so far.

I'm glad to see you guys are excited about it. Thanks for the compliments and such.

I wore my white shoes that were sanded down on the sole first. Then I changed shoes and wore the ones I ground down the sole of by bicycling up and down a hill uses my feet for brakes.

It was a fun session.

This stuff is great, some rare links from Lon Smith.

Random conversations are funny as hell.

I like your new ripwalk style better. :D

Lon,
great shred. I especially the long runs of ducking tricks and double dexes. Your concentration is on and your groupings of tricks show the time spent and the familiarity of the various families of tricks.

My ducking game and torques were inspired from your shred.
