videos of everyone that made the final

(i hope that works for everyone, i compressed the files better)
some notes:
1)oprea uses single-single-single arm swings
2)kenta bell/meletoglou wear the most old school shoes ever..
3)melvin lister might have the worst technique ever. he is out of control and his limbs are all over the place…friggin nuts
4) u learn so much more by not watching just the good jumps of these freaks, but the bad jumps as well, like when their hop is too high and u see olsson collapse on his last phase… good stuff
