Oh my goodness Allan, you are ripping it up.

You were there shredding hard at the beginning of my footbag life, just about as long ago as you were BAPtized, and have legend status in my eyes. Being able to still see you pushing is an honor, seriously. Thank you.

Edit: Is there a particular reason you use Vimeo over Youtube? Any pros/ benefits of one site over the other?

I'm not a big fan of how advertising has taken over youtube. I understand that they need to make money somehow, but it feels like it's turned into a bad version of cable TV where the ads are unavoidable and just as shitty. Targeted or not, I straight-up refuse to watch most advertising. I stopped watching cable TV 18 years ago to avoid it, and that was before they could track everything. Youtube Red is compelling (though not available in Canada), but at this point I'm just not comfortable with their business model (for example, there have been quite a few stories about what amounts to the extortion of indy music artists), and while I understand that the social networking aspect of youtube is important for footbag promotions (it's all about the kids, after all), for my personal videos (where I don't really want 1,000,000 views), Vimeo is a much, much better solution. Minimal advertising, limited tracking; I know their business model doesn't depend on ads; the interface is awesome and the picture quality is top-notch. Works for me 8)

Love the symp twirls on both sides. I find flipside to be impossible, so its really neat to see you throw them so easily on both.

Really liked the scenery in this video. Nice warm colors, sunlight, cool furniture / design etc. Dunno if that was the desired effect but cool nonetheless yo!

Haven't watched the new one yet, but I agree with the others..

The "Museum Patio" is a great video. Sick highlights, great location, great clothing, love that it has the real sound in it.

You get an A+ from me.
