Nah last I heard they dont film much anymore.

Yeah but they have a ton of good footage. I guess I like it so much because it's similair to mine. I met the dude off ckf and he just happens to live about 30 minutes away..we live in the same county (or did until I moved to LA). So it's cool seeing him do shit because I know a lot of the areas he's doing them at. Some of the members from WS actually used to live where they live and know eachother.

LNDL - Overated (Not saying I don't like em)

dunno about underated, er... lemme think
post #13
08 August 2006, 14:32 UTC#13
I wouldn't say LNDL are overrated, we hardly hear from them, at the time their footage was great, bush jumps where still hip back then. :D

Overrated:
DR - Cba explaining yet, but I'm not joking or anything.

Underrated:
Sectioned - I've only ever seen like two videos from them, and they where just teasers, looked like they where hiding even more good footage.

GMC What - Dunno if they have changed their name yet but all of their footage seems alot different than anyone elses, even their skating.... they don't seem too follow anyone, need to release another video.

I was also gonna say UW, but they have really improved, a hell of a lot, their not underrated or over, I'd say with a more mix of stunts, instead of mainly jumps they could be one of the top groups. Don't get me wrong, most of the jumps are sweet, some of the best but yeah..... oh, the editing is awesome of course.

SPDST.... really? I think they pwn in pretty much every category of "HG" which is rather hard too do, imo.

Also, thats basically what I was trying to say with UW.

im not a fan of the editing which is a big part of it, and I know this 2nd dvd will be a lot better, but after seeing the first I thought they were highly overated.

I forgot about Despro, they are too underrated to the new people, cause they have YEARS without releasing shit. I hope they release a trailer or something for their dvd.

I dont think any group is over rated,

theres groups that alot of people enjoy

and then theres people they dont appeal as much as others.

I dont think there is any hype on a group that they havnt earnt fairly with what they do TBH.

Yeah, thats a good point actually.

The thing with DR is that (from what I've seen) I don't see why they are recognised as this awesome group, their own stuff, without Retardz.... lightubes, jumps, pranks.... which of course jumps/pranks make up most HG videos today.... I've seen their stuff done from other groups and much better, their jumps are sloppy and seemed forced, their lightube stunts are nothing special, they do have a good amount of originality though, but it's not like 100% original if you get me... like the "3 lightube head shot" .... seen it done before, just not like that, alot of their stunts seem that way too me.

I think alot of their popularity has come from their editing which is awesome, Mono's like an artist and they have Retardz.....

JUST MY OPINION.

Edit; I mean Mono is soo good at editing and PS, I think with them two combined makes an awesome HG video.

without retardz is just without me, they've only filmed with me, I just rep retardz while im there, but no longer. DR isnt the most hardcore group but thats what makes them good, you can still be entertained by DR the same as watchin SPDST but you get a different feel and vibe from each group and its due to the memebers...eg FAT Videos, can u tell the members apart? no...they all act the same like a boy band, with DR you have each memeber who looks different and brings a different role to the group, you have louzy who motvates the others, pulls off embaressing pranks on himself to get reactions, does the od hardcore stunt but seems to always mess it up, you've got mike who films and edits and basicly gives DR its image in the way its presented, you have creed & lozerkid the stuntment, you'll see some great jumps and flips by these two, rob & liam are there for comdey value but do end up doing the od big stunts to keep there place in the group. they all put the effort in, and im not blowing my own horn but when im around they want to impress and want to go big so they put in the effort and pull off some big stunts, alot of awesome DR footage hasnt came out and will be saved for the dvd, but then that can be alot of groups idea, but I'll tell you DR are one of the best working groups, and after every stunt they all hug each other...awww but yeah,
if put DR in the top 5 groups at HGF, I just wish that they'll try stay on the same level of entertaining instead of going in the "if its not hardcore its useless" way of thinking.... but having some hardcore scatterd around the dvd will be good rather than stright hardcore from start to finish as it gives the dvd and stunts depth.

rath over. its your opinion but thats my view on DR.

if you want to explain more on the stunts you was refuring too we can both debate that because lets face it..what else is there to talk about. this is intresteing.
