Me and Matt Cross decided to take my new camera out for a spin. This is what we came up with. :D

Funny and informative, not to mention unique. I loved it - and I love seeing high quality filmmaking come into the footbag realm.

Well produced video, but I disagree with the technique. Matt keeps his dexing thigh perpendicular with the ground. I think the method Vasek uses where he lifts his knee up so his thigh is parallel with the ground makes blender much easier, as it gives you a lot more time since you can dex the bag higher. I think Jordan Moir has some more specific advice about knee and hip positions when you've got your leg up that high, but I've found just lifting the knee up is the big difference for me in feeling relaxed and in control with blender, or feeling like I have to really rip it.

I absolutely loved the video! Some shots were just stunning... and my favorite moment: "and you finish it off with little osis". Watched it several times.
I'm so envious of the camera. ;)

ya, re: Jeremy and Jorden

I've been meaning to say - take this thing with a grain of salt. It was not planned or well thought out in any way.

We made it as a silly joke. I'm glad to see that some of you are enjoying it as that.
BRICK!

That was a hilarious video. Great job guys. All you need are some puppets and a cardigan, and you'll be Mr.Rodgers.

Thanks guys! I think that there might be more of these to come. For the record I'm not a fan of waffle crisp cereal. I'm a straight up oatmeal kind of guy. Matt on the other hand.......... We are going to have a serious discussion tonight at the beer garden about this and many other pertinent issues. 8)

Wow, Matt.

This video made me lose respect for you.

This hurts the image of our sport because you are obviously drunk and high off your ass just talking crap into the camera. I mean it's funny. Wait, scratch that. It's not even a little bit funny. Ppl will get it wrong, too.

This kinda crap hurts our sport.

Not to mention your form is horrible and you are the the wrong person to teach blender. You catch late, you overcrank, and you suck.

i sure hope you are joking and this post is actually a sarcastic post between good friends. if you not you really suck a whole lot worse and present a shitty perspective of footbag, yourself, and Matt. you accuse people of being high or drunk and rip their performance.

It is noted that this was camera testing and for what it is this was a funny video and reminds me of Mr Rogers Neighborhood......lighten up.
