I did my part - http://www.flipsider.com/news/headlines ... en_win.php (also on the front page). Good luck, J.

what is breaking the flow to most is breaking the monotony to me. I am so bored with standard shred it's not even funny. I can't watch.

Buh-Bye


p.s. I really need to change my screenname, so it doesn't look like my opinions represent Flipsider(.com). I'm just the administrator of a website, and I ...

hack circles where everyone is really into it can be more fun than shred circles.

I wrote an article about this very topic on Flipsider long ago, called "Recruit the Right Way". http://www.flipsider.com/know/advice/recruit.php

Read it. It's good advice.

Prediction: Chard Cook.

Yeah, I've been using flip4mac's WMV Studio for a couple years. It's nice there's a free version now just for playback.

Hey, I don't know how well this works, and don't have Windows to try, but there's this software that works with Windows Media Player to enable enhanced frame control of videos, like QuickTime (or maybe better). Give it a try and share what you think. It's freeware, so you have nothing to lose.

when he said most the top ten players in the world don't smoke
Two corrections: I was referring to all drug use, not just smoking weed. And two, I did not say most of the _top ten_ players, but "most of the top players" which is vague but true, then and now.

Ha, I just read the article for the ...

"now 22"? when was that interview done?
Umm, when I was 22. ;) A couple months before Worlds 2001 if I'm not mistaken.

Zohar Productions? When was that? Four/five years ago?
Yep, five.

I couldn't believe it when he said most the top ten players in the world don't smoke though. Off the top of ...

I'm pretty sure I'm going to this. It'd be sick if there were a place where I could stash my car though. I will be driving there, but I heard that driving in Montréal is treacherous, especially for driving noobs like myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There's some good Montreal info on ...

I just wonder if it's neccessary to have competitions as to who is the best circle kicker.
Ok, that bothers me (though your comments are welcome). Is it more useful to have competitions gauge who is the best at hitting moves all by himself in a variety of formats and constraints? To me, the best ...

It only makes sense for competition to reflect how we play. I am sure those qualities you mention will always exist, or if one day they become tainted, the Circle contest will not be to blame.

Re: Bag Choice (Ners)

Yes, that is a problem, but having everyone use his own bag defeats the purpose of a circle... except maybe for you Polish guys. ;) Our solution would have worked really well up until about 5 years ago. Today preferences are all over the chart. Perhaps it's a good thing to ...

you should make footbag.org/worlds2006 redirect there. Why not just host it on .org though? Whatever, be a rebel.

thanks for the comments. I'll reply in order.

unfortunatly it's a subjective judging system though so judges preferances will come into the results.
Consider how many other sports successfully use subjective judging. It's really the only way. The Judges Guide is very clear about bias: "Also ...

hehe, I'd rather not know actually. I was just pointing out that watching the video doesn't mean one will necessarily know which move he's talking about.

Is it working to just left-click the Download link, or do you have to Right-click, Save As..? Is it the same for all videos in the Gallery, or just the WMVs?

The way it's supposed to work is when you click the Download link, the video should automatically open a Save As dialogue, or just download ...

and now thanks to Ianek, I will be there as well!!! Thanks, Ianek!

Get ready for the Circle contest you guys. It's going to be something special. See the General Footbag forum if you don't know what I'm talking about.

To clarify, I will quote some of the email exchange I had w/ Jochen, explaining what I thought was apparent about the new flipsider, but obviously has been overlooked by many:

How would the revenues from such possible sales be split?
SELLER: 100%, ME: 0%.

A small donation from the profits is suggested to support the site (for anything sold in the shop), but otherwise people are pretty much free to do what they want. Make a shirt that says "footbag" or make a shirt that ...
