Web Video Reviews in 10 Words or Less.

Occasionally in Holeshot I do a feature called “Reviews in 5 Words”. I didn’t invent the idea, in fact I’m pretty sure I stole it from The Factsheet 5 Reader. A zine I have never seen, only heard about from the depths of, hold on while I cringe before I say this, zine culture. Being that it’s pretty fun to describe something in so few words, I decided to apply this method to reviewing web videos. I picked a bunch from TheComeUp, Defgrip, and a few other sites. I only picked edits that were less than a week old (I think) and not a trailer for anything. Although I did break that rule, as well as the 10 word or less rule, once. Enjoy.

1. Chase Hawk “How-To Moto-Whip”

Amazing. Watch out for the impostors this week though.

2. Travis Kiesow Vital Edit

Good but too slick. Looks like some weird Apple trailer.
