<div class="IPBDescription">he'd have nothin on this kid</div> I thought I was pretty good at <a href='http://content.collegehumor.com/media/movies/innebandy3.wmv' target='_blank'>Street Hockey</a>. But this guy makes me want to never play again in fear of sullying it's name.

That is insane.
Im a bit sus about the holding ball on the tip though....
"Whoa" - Neo
Um, 9.8m/second/second. The ball is about half a meter off the ground. You're not going to see any noticable change in speed from gravitational acceleration...
He's just mannipulating the blade like a hand, curving it around it and moving it around.
But some of those *tricks* <i>must</i> have been edited.
His little "routine" involves moving the stick in one direction, stopping suddenly, and going in reverse. The ball would fly off. Sometimes even working against gravity. Glue.
First thing a dork says when he sees something he can't do is that it's fake. You know there are people out there with talents beyond overclocking a video card right?
I'd assume the beginning is real, middle is glued/stickied and the end is real.
if it is edited... he must be good to do it
if it is not edited.... he must be even better to do THAT <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The problem being is that I am not sure at exactly what positions. and how much is real skill and how much is editing.
1) The guy does have ALOT real skill.
2) There are certain parts mid rutine where there are some obvious edits (watch shadows)
3) Certain tricks (namely the one where he tosses it off scrn) don't seem exactly genuine (For that one I amguessing some one simply tosses in a second ball)
4) My assumption is that most of the dits are infact only there to make the routines fit to the music better.
O,h and for those 'gravity defying' sections:
Thats compleatly possible
what alot of you are missing is that alot of the tricks come from quick reversals of the stick (thus killing momentum as well as allowing him to nearly instantly revers direction)
Think about centrifigul force (take a bucket of watter and spin it around, none will fall). Now basicaly make tohse changes happen MUCH faster.
and ppls did you at all think that him tossing the ball of the screen and it coming back to him was him tossing it into a wall and it bouncing back at him?? or was it too obviouse to think of?? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I figgure it is probably some one tossinghim another ball (still cool none the less)
Reminds me a good bhopper who uses a +3jumps script. "OMG, without the script he would TOTALLY SUCK."
Other than that, nice job kid.

or hes for real but he just goofed a bunch b/c its hard to do, so he just spliced together a bunch of his good outtakes for the video.
People have skills you wouldnt even want to imagine, I've got some movies of a guy who's been using a yoyo for a year, and is insane. Some break dancing and martial arts movies, people have skills. Just because you cant, or you think you cant, doesnt mean someone else cant.
The worlds full of amazing people, and people with too much time on their hands.

Can you upload them, but the Breakdancing one?
That's Joe Eigo's movies, he's a damn good martial artist, and is a stunt person/ backup person for a lot of movies these days. I suggest you get, if you can find them, JoeEigo-April1-02.asx and JoeEigo-Sept-02.asx .

Oh, nice dig Forlorn. Way to bring up same topic <b>again.</b> *Sigh*
Apart from the obvious jumps in editing (it's blatantly done over several sessions) I couldn't find any problems taking it to bits & back in Photoshop but hey, that's why I don't work in forensics right? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But I have to register to the Forum, no fun.
And I've gone over it... he DID cut together 'good takes', but beyond that I'm pretty convinced that he'd actually done that. There were no artifacting changes (which COULD mean it was edited before compression, but feh), I didn't see any shadowing incongruities (which could be Debevec RNL, or just a good lighting setup to keep shadows minimized).
In fact, I'm inclined to believe that it was all real, albeit cut-together from multiple takes. If you watch him (DAMN he's quick) the paddle always stays behind the ball, except in a situation where he could have given it a quick 'scoop' to reverse the fall. Definitely a very light ball though, and not a regulation stick.
I'd like to see the yo-yo stuff as well. I used to be pretty big on it. Kept one or two in my pockets at all times... still love my Yomega Fireball, Saber Raider, and Saber Wing Fireball. Sadly, I haven't kept them maintained and will have to replace the bearings and transaxles if I want 'em back up to snuff. Well, after I find them again. All I've got handy is a crappy Duncan Neo. After free-floating bearings, never could get used to a fixed-axle again for hang duration.

Damn man you need to chill. I think some parts were edited.
