Vasek's style influenced and influences me the most. I feel he has the most efficient style. He dexes the quickest way around the bag, his sets are perfectly straight, and he is almost always balanced. (of course his insanely flat ankles help too)

Chris P. I think the first "shred video" (as opposed to single tricks) I ever saw was Pinkus' featured video on the OOPS freestyle site. I keep asking Sam if he's got it, because ironically I do not.

And I bet none of you could've guessed.

my two biggest influences have been lynton stephens and ales
lyntontaught me from atw on the flipside till i was doing guiltless easily
ales has taught me since early this year
lynton helped me hit tricks, ales tought me to understand everything about the trick and then to hit it using the minimal risk and the best form
i am surprised that everyone doesn;t say vasek because it is inevitable that there is at least some influence. i've been ifluenced by him in some small ways, but not big ways
the thigns that have influenced me have been the balance and linking of whirling and spinnign tricks. most obvious is whirl to step and osis moves to step tricks also there is a hop in vaseks whirls that make them nearly impossible to miss if he does what he knows is right, little things like that
the big things ales taught me are to set straight and move around the bag as much as you can, landings, switch technique

sebastien d and ales has influenced my in keeping my style similar to theirs. i just love it how all the legs are moving and their upperbody is as still as(straight posture). My style is about70% based on that or going to be based on that.
i especially luv it when ales starts doing toe moves, and his legs are just visible lol, i luv sebs style with his arms in midair apart all the time

Dan ednie and jeremy o'wheel.

I don't know if they have influenced my style, or perhaps subconsciously they have. Anyway there style is very cool, and yet they are both very unique and different in comparison to each other.

Lohn Smith and I guess Vasek in some way cuz I've always admired him since I saw his EC 2001 video. Rap Superstar

Yay Stepping!

Felix Zenger. We two were about half years the only players in the city. And he taught me almost from the very beginning - well, not even almost, but...

Mine has always been the people I play around and not the people I watch on video. My style was based around the Eugene shredders I commenced footbag with, and a little bit of Abshire.

I was first influenced by James Risden and Ellis Piltz. I used to do a lot of the same tricks and combos that they used to do on video.

Scott Bevier probably influences my game now. I shred with him often at East Coast tournaments and always get owned. He's influenced me to be both sided and come up with original combos. I don't play like him much, but I usually want to get better after being in his circle because he has always improved each time. I usually look forward to showing my new skills (if there are any) at the next tourny.
