Montages

[RAFIKI]

I happened to come across a 1997 performance of Time to say goodbye while channel flicking in a hotel and it reminded me of a great gymnastics montage.

If you weren’t on the gymternet in the 00s then montages are what the creative people in the community used to make. Does this still exist on instagram or somewhere else? Can’t say I’ve seen a good fan montage in yonks but then I also haven’t been looking.

Anyway I thought it would be fun to share our favourites from back in the day. I’m about to go down a YT rabbit hole but here’s the one that got me thinking about this topic…

Tooting my own horn here. A GDR montage I made back in 2006.

This one led me to the music of Ludovico Einaudi (this song would be used in a P&G Olympic commercial five years later):

RIP Aleksas:
