We also need to change the names of our heroes to savage and majestic birds like Hawk. From now on we should only refer to Vasek Falcon and Kenny Eagle.

That is a really good idea but they have to start with the same letter or flow really well. Honza Hawk, Olaf Ostrich, Damian Duck, David Dodo, Jim Crow jk, Jorden Pterosoir, Ricky Rhea, Tuuka Tucan and Vasek Vulture are all good ones. However Phil Penguin or Felix Flamingo do not work.

I actually have a friend IRL who's called David and his nickname is Dodo, and he's a skater.

Roy, you are NOT going to believe this, I live in Pennsylvania but I am 90% sure I know your friend Dodo in Israel... Is he in a Ska band? Called Beer7?

Damn, that's him!! And it's so like him to be known by random people from all around the world, so even though I'm surprised I really shouldn't be.

Where do you know him from?

Haha, yeah there can be only one "David Dodo the Skateboarder from Israel" :P He and I are both really big Ska fans. We used to download most of our Underground Ska music on this file sharing program called "Soulseek" a while back. His band was actually supposed to write a song about me, because I had probably the most shared Underground Ska files in the entire program haha Song never happened, but I caught up with Dodo on facebook this year after a few years since I quit using Soulseek. I actually quit because I got really into footbag :P Tell him "Ska King: I_Hate_Ska -Polini- says hey, he'll freak out haha. That's so crazy that you know him! Small world!

Edit: Oh and to contribute to this thread, These ideas are pretty damn funny, Ben. I know they're only jokes, but I really do feel like footbag videos should be more interesting, instead of, like you stated, "shot in basements". Get a cool background in some videos, like in front of a cool serene landscape or something of that nature. Also, footbag videos, in my opinion, shouldn't be completely serious. I think they should have awesome shred in them, but also be humorous at points. Like in Badassery, when Jay claps Jorden's hands together or Jorden pokes the bag on the floor. That's just minor humor. But you could do so much more. I always try to use some in the videos I make.
