What is up, everybody.
Dom here.
Today, I'm going to be looking at some old clips that my manager,
Samantha, found online of me.
So she scoured through YouTube and found just like some random clips of me.
So I haven't seen this project yet that she has put together and this
will be my first time going through it.
So you guys are going to kind of watch it with me.
Let's see how it goes.
Right.
I look way too thin.
Um, yeah, that was freshman year of college.
I was 17, maybe 18 at this point.
I started working at...those kicks were good by the way.
Really good.
So when I worked at All-American not All American, so when I worked at MGTC.
I was not that good
camp.
That is the trampoline that I broke my ankle on and had to get screws in my
ankle, It called a full in and back out.
So it's two backflips.
It's technically like a double back flip, but the first, the
first back flip has a 360 spin.
That's called a full twist so it's a full in back out.
Correct.
I'm ready when you are.
My friend Sterling is the one who made this video and then ended up
being like a big highlight of our like little school newspaper and stuff.
Rare footage of me going into a pit really rare footage of me going into a pit.
Probably turn this down a little bit.
Yeah,
Really bad.
Yeah.
My friend Derek made this video.
Me, some of this stuff is actually pretty cool, but it's cool to watch this.
But God, I was not good.
I miss those shorts.
I don't know where that went.
Round off.
Double layout.
You won't catch me doing that anymore.
Actually.
That's one thing I did.
I can probably still do, but I don't think I'll ever try that again.
Handspring only.
Who was I?
What the heck?
This is groundbreaking.
Round off handspring double lay whips swing through double cork.
I'm still the only part only person and the only person in the world
to do that, I've only done it, like accomplished that I think three times.
But yeah, no one else has done that one yet, or this one double lay
punch double full on floor, slightly under rotated in this one though.
And I was a bald.
Like razor bald almost.
I don't know why.
Oh,
Valdez dub backs.
I haven't done one of those in a long time either.
And I also want to know where those shorts went.
Yeah, standing double back in a living room off like a mini tramp at
my friend Leland's loft in Toronto.
That was always a crazy spot.
Scotty skeleton was there.
What the hell?
Woo.
You guys don't know him.
Scotty Skelton, look him up.
He was the first ever triple cork and a bunch of other legendary tricks.
Super cool.
Super amazing guy from Australia but he's an OG and he was randomly
in Toronto when I was there.
I think there was definitely a gathering going on.
Must've been Saiyan gathering there's Scottie, and there's the man.
Leland.
My old roommate.
Julian!
Hadn't seen him in a long time.
Oh, that's it.
Wow.
That was a little blast from the past.
That's fun.
That's cool.
Thank you, Sam.
Sam's behind the camera right now.
Oh, that was nice.
Gosh, some of those I haven't watched the, I've not watched like the
high school, not high school, the one from like Northwood and we'll
watch that one in a very long time.
Okay.
And I haven't watched the radioactive sampler all the way
through, in a very long time.
Cause it's cringy to me, not the editing and stuff.
Just skill-wise and the one that my friend Derek had made.
It's funny.
Yeah, definitely come a long way.
it's weird.
I didn't even remember doing some of those skills though.
So now I need to get back into some of those more kicks, more.
Random round-off stuff instead of just always round off handspring,
even though handspring is the power move, but wow, nice.
Speaking of getting back into some of the old skills I used to do, normally like
when I truly do get into the tricking zone, that's when I'm at gatherings and
some of the past videos I've done, a lot of them are obviously like adventure
and stuff like that, but some of them are also the cool tricking gatherings.
I take part in and a couple of those being one is Neo, which is like the
biggest trick event in the USA held in Ohio every year by some close friends
of mine and I have some blogs from there and then also hooked, which is the
biggest tricking gathering in the world.
And that takes place in Amsterdam every year, normally, but with everything going
on right now with the pandemic both of
those events had to be canceled that this year, unfortunately, but since
those are canceled this year, you can watch some of them on my channel just
to kind of see what the vibe is all about, and hopefully that stuff can
pick up next year and I can make some new content at those awesome events
and maybe see some of you guys there.
But anyway, thank you guys for watching and make sure you check out those videos.
