2008 PHS Talent show-Jitterbug Footbag routine-chris n James

Myself james and my shred partner chris o'bara, made a routine for our high school Variety show, it is to the song jitterbug by WHAM! we performed in front of about 800 people, students and adults, we were nervous to drop so we didn't bust out hardcore, but overall BADASS

lemme know what u guys think 8)

Hi. It's really cool to do such performances. Props on that! I've got a bit of advice for you, though. In my opinion, you should have shorter combos. You'll have less drops with that I think. You should also train more Doubles for the next show. I heared the reaction of crowd. They really liked that! They also really liked a Pincher. You should add more stuff like that next time.

Once again, props for the performance. Especially because you have not so many drops at all.

MAD PROPS!!!

I thought it was pretty damn good with a nice drop ratio

The crowd dug the music i think and the ending with the doubles seemed to get em' pumped.

GOOD JOB CHRIS AND JAMES!!!

Awesome job, guys. The only thing that made me smile more than the routine itself was the woman that says "oh my god" over and over.

Did we get any detentions? :wink:

EDIT: James's shorts are red but I think the camera makes it look pink.

That was great!
I loved watching it! Well done for getting out there and promoting footbag

Likes**
Great song choice
Obviously planned and practiced
fantastic crowd response - you guys seriously got them going
Didn't look nervous - continued really well whenever you dropped it
things were varied as you went along
syncro just totally rocked their socks

Dislikes**
When you played individually - i would have thought getting the less talented player to go first would have made more sense
and the shred would have been better a bit later on
obviously drops arent great - but you dealt with them well

Looks like you guys will practice more, have places to show it to people and continue to improve!

Its really good to see :)

I thought that this was awesome, but I agree with Dan's critique. It probably would have been better to start out with easier tricks and then start the shred once they figured out what was going on. Great job tho, the crowd was going nuts! It must have been a great feeling.

These two gave the BEST performance in the entire V show, mad props for a job well done! As a parent of one of their friends, and knowing these guys, I can tell you they were dedicated to practicing often (daily); and the show was incredible because of them, becuase otherwise, it was actually quite boring!! Could care less who went first, bottom line, everyone in that audience loved them, and when they synched their preformance, it totally rocked! :lol:
