Evolution Promo Video
« on: March 24, 2006, 08:01:55 AM »
HEY FASTTRACKERS!

Since I founded "Evolution" in January, I have recruited 2 other guys since then..."The Rookie" Michael Bradford (The Original Chewmiester) and the "Beast" Dain Stewart...almost 3 months have passed and once again, I have recruited 4 new members to the group! The following bowling video is a promotional video informing you who the new members are! I was bored last night too and wanted to put something fun together for you guys to see! I honestly want your thoughts as to how well this idea is...the story of my creation is explained below!

Evolution (founded in Jan. 2006): The Story

I have been throwing Track equipment full time since around May of last year! When I took over coaching duties of my youth bowlers in October, I had a brainstorm...of course the pieces didn't come together until the new year; however, I had an image...I have always been an avid wrestling fan for quite sometime and I always thought that when Triple H formed Evolution on RAW that it was the best faction in wrestling history. So just to have some fun, I knew that one of Track's slogans was "Evolutionary. Revolutionary". So I took the idea of that and founded the group of my own.

Goal:
My goal was to form a unique group of elite bowlers who proudly support Track equipment. From January to early March, I had two of my best friends become Track fanatics. Michael and Dain jumped aboard when they saw that I was throwing nothing but Track. I got Mike out of the Brunswick phase, even though I feel the Inferno line is a superior line to say the least. Once Mike bought my Arsenal Reactive and Phenom Unleashed, he was hooked! So I inducted him as Tag Team Member # 2. I came across Dain once I started coaching the youth league on Saturday morning and noticed he already had a Crunch Time in his arsenal. I took it upon myself to give him one of my three ball bags and found him some old stuff to complete his whole Track arsenal. He joined as Tag Team Member # 3 with the Rule Delta 1, Crash, Crunch Time, and Desert Heat in his arsenal! The following below is a promotional video I came up with last night after I got done with league. (Very bored, but it was fun once it was complete!) Now with it being March, four more of my youth bowlers are throwing Track products and wanted to join my team of Evolution.

What I'm Wanting From You Guys As Readers of the Forum:
* Check the video out for yourself and let me know what you think of it all around. From the promotional part to the whole aspect of my idea.
* Replies with your honest thoughts. Yes, to some this may seem very silly; however, Track has been good to me, and I like promoting a great product when the results are spectacular.

Finally, this video I made, I have no desire to make money off of this or violate any copyright laws. The logos and names are of their respect companies. This is just something fun I put together and it has grown quicker than I thought it would! So let me know what you guys think, I want feedback! Thank you and God Bless you all, have a great week!

the truth must hurt because nothing I said was wrong. he asked for an honest opinion and that is what I gave.

I'm not in the "Click" and I'm definitely not his demographic so when I point out the views that maybe other people will share with me,I will bet there are many,
you just go and delete it.

nice. I guess freedom of expression is only for butt kissing the click. when I see Del or other track personal backing that video then I will say that I am wrong. but I doubt Del will be sending me an email.

until then, I take fries with that!

Roberts,

Your feedback is appreciated. I just feel you need to take alittle more time on what you were saying. The way you said my music was "White Trash" was alittle inapproriate. Your thoughts of how we throw the ball I felt were alittle much too dude. I feel no one has a "perfect" style. Even if they can average 230 plus. Even the best sometimes cannot average that high, the pros struggle every day in changing the way they bowl week to week out on the tour. I'm not expecting Del Warren to send me a message telling me how brilliant my promo was either. I'm not expecting him to come to my town and hand me a contract either. If I'm meant to have a contract from Track one day, then the Lord will see to it. If it doesn't happen, then so be it. I can, however, try and make things fun for everyone on here and support a company I have had tremendous results with. I don't have a problem with "constructive criticism" as long as you use the right words to help me make it better. I feel though that "bashing" doesn't provide solutions though. You have to take each hand in hand as their is a great difference. Also, your comment on "us being gangstas looking stupid"...that wasn't our goal, we just had that pic taken and it turned out the way it did, we all perceive things differently than others. Maybe next time it will be different. Overall, Roberts I appreciate your brutal honesty on some of the issues.

Nick,

I don't really know how to take that comment, but if that was a reference to us being "retarded" or making fun of us, then that is totally unncessary. You are one BR user that everyone looks up to on here. I started doing my videos honestly because of the ones you had posted. I thought that if you could share yours with the Brunswick Nation, then I could do the same with the FASTTRACKERS. I don't bash other ball companies either, I feel we all match up to what works with us best. In this case, you have a thing going with Brunswick and I have a thing going with Track. Which is cool, but on the brighter side of things, the great BrunsNick did make a post in one of my threads, which is totally awesome in my opinion!!!
::Gives the Thumbs Up::  

God Bless you all and have a great week!

well, all I can say is that it was put out on the web and I gave you the simon cowell perception of it. you can take it anyway you want because it was blunt. look deeper into the comments without your emotions view them objectively.

personally I like the music.

 but if you are not aware, bowling has struggled with its image. it is seen as a blue collar game for drinking and betting.

 if it is to ever regain the respect it deserves and become a true sport in the eyes of the world it needs a better grass root movement. one lane at a time. one video at a time.

what was the point of the vid? the bowlers or the balls?  if it is to stand behind a product and be supportive of it it misses the mark. if it to show how you look to your friends then dead on.


as far as looking good comment. come on. haircut? there is saying in the business world "perception is reality" think about that.

  think olympic athletes? not drunk looking stoners. it's not personal it is an observation that many will make. I'm just pointing it out. the truth is never as important as perception.

I still stand by the poor choice of photo with the wannabe flashing. write this down! some day you will move on in life, I hope, and you will look at that picture and cannot belive you did that. at this time your life you can not possible look objectively at it. you are in the moment and are the ones not being objective.

now then, if you would like to thesis like discussion about every little thing I would do it over the phone or some beers as I do not like to type that much. I don't sugar coat anything.I type even more blunt than I am. I love a good discussion.

I'm not trying to disrespect you guys. if you ask I will give it to straight and can back it up with reason and logic.

in the end. I personally don't care about you guys, you evolution/revolution thing. it doesn't matter at all.

I will refrain for commenting in the future since you are sensitive and I lack sensitivity. just not a good match.

as for my vid, why would the world want to see an out of shape guy throw a ball and shoot 200's. they can go to any bowing alley for that. if I had something to demonstrate or teach I would put it up there.

I am also concerned that the moderator has the right to delete posts from his thread. talk about lack of objectivity.

Nope, it wasn't in reference to being retarded!

More along the lines of being almost cult-like "recruiting" and such. Another thing, being fairly religious and founding the "Evolution" ... Ahhh now that's kinda funny too!

Cheers!

What's wrong with the music? I was never aware that Motorhead was "White Trash".

Great job Michael...now when are we going to see a "wrong"sider in Evolution!?

Hey Roberts,

Now that is what I'm talking about...I got the whole idea of what you were trying to say the second time alot better...that is "constructive criticism"...the point of the vid was just to inform that I had more members coming, I wasn't trying to sell anything, as Lane1Bowler said, I was just trying to have some fun...thanks for your comments Roberts and God Bless you!

Hey Nick,

Alright, I got you now dude! It's funny you say that because one of the guys in that video is ultra religious and calls the faction rEvolution...simply because he doesn't believe in the "evolution" theory...but thanks anyway dude! God Bless you too!

Have a great weekend and God Bless you all!

Jeremy,

The Four Horsemen were indeed the prize in the old days...but when it comes to newage, I feel Evolution is tops...even better than DX back in the attitude era.

1. I sent you a message on our ages.
2. Sometimes the shot is "wide" open, but on some nights dude, we have an OB and it can be quite a pain; but on the brighter side, more of a challenge!

Thanks for your comments and God Bless you!

Hey guys...I like the vid...I took it as some guys trying to have some fun with something....and even if it does not fit what some people think a bowler should be or whatever, don't forget our nation is a melting pot...we accepting any and everyone (and still do to a point)....

Lighten up guys....just relax and go about your business..no need for hostility...some people will like, some will not....its like everyone who bashes Lane 1, Elite....while I do not agree with their pricing or Elites deceptiveness, to one their own....
