Very nice guys.

Eoghan: Glad to see your break didn't hurt you too much. Your game is coming along really nicely. But you're a little shit for hitting a 4 dex before me.

Erika: Don't be so camera shy!

Cale: I'm really enjoying your style. Everything is really fluid. I have some advice for your spinning though, but I understand that you just learned it. You're doing the spin in 2 steps, which is why Eoghan's is faster. The idea for a fast spin is to set, and rip your leading shoulder around. You don't do any footwork more than a small hop on your pivot foot. Also, try not to plant your set foot until you've completely finished the spin; this helps you with your body's accuracy, and also maks you faster.

Good video guys, keep em coming.

I dunno, I like your style too. I can't believe I didn't comment on this before. I think I must have mentally. I really dig the styley duo that is Eoghan and Cale.

Since you specifically asked, I tried to find things wrong :p It was tough. But I think you could stand to hold your stalls longer on some tricks. A lot of your tricks ending in toe kinda just go up and you have to bail, if you try and hold that stall and control it a bit better you may find it easier to play out of tricks. I found the same on some clipper tricks, particularly whirls -- that you set the bag back up way fast... Eoghan stalls for a long time and it makes his game really fluid. You're in a great hands. But you're both awesome. Erika too.

Wasn't your toe hella messed up for a while? Is that why you stopped playing for so long? How is that now?

Haha. Remember when you called me saying you were in town and you were in a completely different country? Did you drive specifically there to shred with us and have to turn around and go back to Portland? :p

haha yeah, i did drive some way to the wrong town... no worries though, well shred at worlds.

as for my injuries, yeah, my toes were initially why i was out for a long time... then i sprained my lcl in my right knee, and was out for an even longer time. recently, i may have sprained one of said problem toes... but its feeling alright. i seem to be injury-prone in footbag... but im back and kicking!

i see what you are saying about my delay time. i was analyzing my stepping today, and found it was better if i held the bag longer, so ill try to apply that to all my delays. thanks for that!

anyone else? i love getting advice.

No tips, but enjoyed watching the vids. Eoghan's crank is ridiculous. Nice combos caley.

It's funny to see how people used to be really impressed by nemesis. If he would have hit that trick like 5 or 6 years ago; there would be like 50 comments about that!

Props Eoghan. Seriously you progressed a lot in a year.

Eoghan's style reminds me of Evan Gatesman. nice kind of smooth control going on here.
