Heya guys.

I've been working my passes for the past few days and think I've improved a fair bit. I have no idea about the names of the passes because I just learn them from watching other people's videos . any comments welcome!

Sorry it's not up to my usual performance standard but this was just a video I made for my own use and it turned out ok IMO so I thought I'd share. Sorry about the shaky performance!

Enjoy

Steve

p.s. Yes I know I have massive veins

Nice passing

However i would have recorded it from a diffrent angle becuase everything can be seen

Also with your first pass, personaly i felt that you took them up too high.

But overall nice work

Thanks for the tips. I was trying to get it at a difficult angle so that I was making it harder for myself. Also I saw someone else do it at this angle and I was like so I tried it at the same angle.

Also just another thing i forgot to say was that your last pass was extremly quick however it looked a bit unnatural and your hands were a bit erm.. i don't know how to put this but 'twitchy' and a bit 'stiff' looking so maybe if you loosened up a bit it might be less suspect to the layman.

But still they were really nicly done

Yeah, I realised that I'm a bit stiff on the pass right now. I'll really have to work on getting it smoother and more relaxed. Thanks for the advice!

And 92 views on the video link after like 15 minutes of uploading? Wow?! But I only posted up the video here on TM! And there's only been like 20 views... I'm confused and I hate being confused lol.

Steve

looked good, how long have you been doing the pass for?

Thats a lot of views

Also rember my tips are from an amature hobbist, and that your quite a lot better than me so i could be totally wronge with all my advice

Err... Well since I got Born to Perform like a year and a half ago? But I never thought I could reach that speed so I didn't bother to practice it. It was about a week ago when I saw a few XCM videos and saw some passes that I liked so I decided to do a bit more practice on it and here I am!

I think it's great advice so I'm taking it! If I'm not showing an actual performance of a video, I'm asking for advice and I think it's great! Thanks

Steve

Wow nice job Steve, where did you learn those passes ? Born to perform and just by watching some videos? cause they look pretty great!

Yeah I was about to say u look tense cause of your veins, but it didnt seem to affect your pass

As a man obsessed with the pass, It looks great to me... Love the mraz...

Hey

Could you post a video of you doing the pass becuse i think it would be interesting to watch

http://youtube.com/watch?v=wfsTodU5tSQ
one of the best ive seen

Thanks guys for the comments!

My veins are naturally that big lol. And yeah, I learnt passes from Born To Perform and other videos .

And yes, Jason Mraz rules!

Steve

Woah...

As you all know, I'm a pass freak and I must say, those were fairly decent. The angles used were interesting, I didn't even know you could hide a pass from that angle.

The only thing I can see is that on the classic pass, you can see a clear space between the top and bottom packets as they're getting replaced which gives the pass away. Better to have a more natural pass than a faster pass (at least in my opinion). I might post another video of what I mean as the current one up is a bit outdated.

Can you film a pass vid from straight on? I dont THINK it'd be any different than from the side, but I want to see what it looks like head on before I say anymore.

Great work though, very impressive.
