Encounters of the ACM hobbyist - possible video series
« on: January 11, 2023, 03:02:59 AM »
I don't know if there's any interest or if it's helpful to some. Was asked about what we commonly call 'reversals' so uploaded a few examples. Maybe more to follow.

Nice shot. I tend to start my reversals further out.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Thanks. I almost have 6 subscribers already and am thinking of becoming an influencer. Today, a new video will drop (as the millennial say) featuring an entirely unnecessary high-risk fight in a G14 on the deck against a well-flown F6F.  :banana:

Nah there's no way I can match your fantastic camera angles and cinematography. These are just elaborate ahf files really.

New video today which I hope shows some practical application of that oft-talked about one-circle & two-circle fight business.



I hope the quality is okay. HD somehow presently eludes me.

Happy Friday  :banana:

Thanks.

Hard to gauge what people are interested in. So far the one with the highest how-to theme has been the most popular. Not that trying to be popular is any sort of valuable activity  :old:
