My vote is for Eoghan because he was more both sided and his runs were longer (the ones that he actually got. ;)

Very close though. Manna's first run was really good.

We don't want to see Eoghans reaction after run 5 :) .
I think both had some good runs even though both of you dropped early in some runs. Manna had a really good first run, but Eoghan had a nice fairy&pixie mixture.

This was pretty tough, both guys had similar difficulty in trick selection. What I don't like in these hack-offs is when someone bails to toe and then continues the run as if that counts towards that particular run. If you can't at least keep it tiltless, the run is over in my opinion. Mana's last run was essentially 3 runs broken up by the toe stall, and then the subsequent kicks after that.

The two sets of runs in terms of contacts, not including toe stalls broke down like this:

Manna: 16, 10, 12, 5, 14 (4, 10)

Eoghan: 0, 23, 6, 17, 19

Given this, Mana had four 10+ contact runs, and Eoghan had three, but one of them was a 20+ run. Both players bailed to tiltless about the same amount of times, both had ABOUT the same number of bops though I'd have to give Eoghan the edge on that.

That being said, it's almost a dead-tie for me. But since I can't vote for both, I'll go with Eoghan simply because again, I'm not thrilled with players continuing their runs after toe bails and/or kicks in a competitive format (even if this is just for fun :P)

Also I really think it'd be nice if players sped up the video during rest periods. It makes it harder to remember what you hit in runs when they're separated by 30 seconds of players pacing around each time.

Oh and Eoghan is totally the Napoleon Dynomite of footbag.."What?! GOSH!" :lol:

Thanks for the feedback guys. This was a lot of fun.

The song in the beginning of my video is called Handlebars, by Flobots. It indeed is an awesome song.

Hope to do a lot more of these in the future.

LOL... It was very close for me too!!! Thanks shredzilla for breaking down the math for me. But the ending is what did for me on the runs. Eoghantotally got pimp on the end of his run. I think he could have kept going. Oh....who was that you mom? :lol:
