Alex’s was dope! Keirans wasn’t as clean which takes away from his speed and flow to me. Wasn’t much substance besides speed ---

I really liked Alex’s tricks and flow. HOWEVER why did you film from the top! I find it so much harder to see what is going on and it really takes away from the tricks imo. That along with no music had me voting for keiran. I really liked both vids though ---

the angle is a little wonky. I’ll get more towards the front next time. I like people being able to see what the actual trick is though. and maybe being able to learn it if they so choose. ---

> [@Alex Fairhurst](#): > > the angle is a little wonky. I’ll get more towards the front next time. I like people being able to see what the actual trick is though. and maybe being able to learn it if they so choose. I think seeing the trick from the front/view of somebody watching makes more sense for something like this, I feel like the end part of your trick lost some of its “oo” factor because of the angle. ---

I can actually see the string hits better, see more of where the yoyo is going, and overall I can process what is going on more. For a battle like this, it might not be the best angle, but for just another video showing off some tricks, I really like it. PS, Sanchez has been my pick from the start, and I’m sticking with him. Dude is crazy smooth. ---

I also liked the angle Alex (Fairhurst) chose. I thought to myself, “I wonder if anyone would appreciate the work being done here if it was front-on”. I supposed there’s always the 3/4 down view to try for next time. :wink: ---

Yeah, I think it’s pretty safe to say I’m out now. My trick seemed a lot better to myself off camera. :wink: Sanchez brought it, and that was no less than I expected. I still see him making it to the top 2. [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/battle-royale-round-of-8/54717.md?page=2)
