all of you who insulted adam only did so because this is a comment board instead of a message board, grow some balls.

Adam has a point, it was a COLLAB video. Look at the winner of the UDCC, they INTERACTED with each other thats why they won. F501 was an awsome video, no doubt it was one of the best videos of this year so far, but it was not a collaboration video in my opinion. Adam and Steve used moves that utilized each other instead of just doing moves next to each other, theres a huge difference.

IF U HAD HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY THEY WERE PLACING THE VIDEOS DONT SAY SHIT AFTER YOU DIDNT GET THE PLACE U WERE LOOKING FOR. IF U HAD A PROBLEM THEN U SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING BEFORE

That’s a good point,Dasuprememep.
However, I guess Adam doesn’t care that much about people emotions either when it comes to video comments.

Anyways, I enjoyed the video but I don’t get this whole thing here.
What can I say? You mentioned flourishing should be for fun.So stop bitching and move on.
And for T11… I recommend the same time for all videos in the next contest.I was surprised there wasnt a simple rule like this.Tough to judge videos from 1 to 5 minutes, isn’t it?

haha, and the people here are making points from THEIR perspective. He was the the one bragging and whining, so who’s the one who should shut up because he has something negative to say?

Guys! If I had 3 words to say to you all it’d be:

FUCK OFF HIM…

Geez… He’s making a point from HIS perspective. Respect it. If you have anything negative to say, don’t post.

** in the last sentence, I meant to say when they DO give you third place

Here’s the conflict in this situation. You create a video based on what a good collaboration should comprise of: originality, personality, and teamwork. Your video showed you guys having a fun time and taking flourishing to the streets. That’s good and all, but you entered a contest on theory11. That means in order to win, you have to appeal to the judging of the t11 staff, and frankly that’s usually the material that f501 shows more of, with more crisp professional cinematography and dressing up nicely to go play with cards around a fancy looking vehicle.

I’m not saying you should conform to their style with all of your future videos. A lot of people really enjoy your style and the feel of your videos, and you shouldn’t change that over what a few judges think.

However, if you’re only doing cardistry and making videos to win contests, then you have two options. One, do conform to what they want in a video. Two, stick with your videos, but don’t get all upset when they don’t give you third place because someone else had what you didn’t.

“You have good points in the essay but they are only there to disguise your whining.”

I’m with uglyface on this one. From what I “know” you you’re a good guy Adam, but let this go.
