Dude thank you so much Jared this is insane for me, I’m so glad you included me ❤

[LukeJeansonne]

9:06 thank you SO MUCH for including me within the top 50 entries Jared! I feel extremely grateful to have made it this far alongside many other fantastic players. I’m glad you enjoyed my solo enough to include it within the top 50, hopefully you and everyone else likes it enough to include it in the final cut for the shred collab! 🤞🏻

First of all congratulations to everyone who entered, and of course to these players who made the shortlist! It was tough to choose, and took several watches to narrow it down to just three, but my top three (in order) are:

1. Syndrone 5:20
2. Kirill Mazhuga 8:05
3. Alessandro Zilio 6:41

All three showcased exceptional feel & tone and were a cut above the rest in my eyes, however in the event of a tie then these following three were just outside the top spots for me:

4. Ernest Mel Viajeros Polares 13:13
5. Vitalii Scherbina 20:04
6. Ben Laf 12:12

Wish everyone the best of luck!
