Thanks Matt - just some cheap New Balance I had for non-footbag needs - like walking...Lavers are too shitty for my shins/wide feet etc etc.

very nice........you just gotta take out those toe delays. I mean at least make those a 2 add. Throw a pick up or leg over.

Hi, my name is Kenneth Ian Brill. I used to kick on those "Ruins" (as Dan Kramer used to call 'em) in Washington Square park, 8 hours a day. If there was ever one thing more horrible for my body than the lack of support and narrow sole of the Lavers, it's that wretched surface. Just be warned man- I was hopping up and down on them 8 hours a day for years, and as soon as I started kicking anywhere else my game was better.

The area just a little east of there, middle distance between some benches and the elevated "sand pit" (or whatever it was...) always seems a lot better.

Also, the G-units have rekindled my love of this game, precisely for the reasons you ditched lavers. My game is growing faster than it ever has, despite a bad knee (right side- double round the worlds/ pixies- no stretching) and being a lot older, and %50 percent of it has to do with having fianlly decent foot-wear. The other half is having a good group of people to kick with.

I miss the NYFA days, and I hope to meet you next time I come back home, but till then:

Nice work.

Now try working that other side.

Peace!

Good shred, you got some phat links. But as Justin said you gotta get from clipper to toe in more than 1 add. Toe bails just really bog down the flow of your game. Near mirage out of clipper is another good suggestion besides pickup or legover. Paradox mirage/illusion is even better.

Flip

Post by YoungOldskewl » 25 Sep 2006 12:10

Flipsidedness is my nemesis...never schooled anything lefty...just learned left clipper recently. Maybe I was lazy, but the prospect of learning left clipper or left inside stall was always far less appealing than working on my Phoenix, Torque or Sidewalk...Starting to get into it now though - maybe i'll be able to post a better vid next year.

Thanks for the feedback.

;) nice footbag!




i think youre doing really well and youve got the idea from everyone else to try not to bail... but thats a given and you knew that before anyone said it. just keep kicking and things fall where they are supposed to.


oh yeah.. you shouldnt wait a whole year to make another vid.
