check it out!

This was filmed this weekend when Ryan Seath and Dan Wax were up visiting.

I made an 'all me' movie so I could be completely self-indulgent.

The footage of Ryan is being sent to him so that he can do the same.

Enjoy!

HAHA!! Tom is so awesome!!!! I can't wait to meet all you Ontario guys again. (I'm kind of scared to meet Ryan, though. He is very menacing and mysterious! More so the menacing -- I have images burned into my eyes from his old avatars...)

Seriously, though, Tom -- your excitement is so infectious!!! I LOVED when you chased after the girls and jumped up over the bench!! (Nice toe spinning, too!) Your style is really starting to set itself -- I love watching you. You've come so far. I loved the pigtails. I loved the TOM MOSHER TOM MOSHER TOM MOSHER. Your style is somewhere between Matt Cross and everybody else (in a good way for both of you!!) You're really really smooth and precise! AWESOME video!!!! I find it sad when such GREAT videos are presented in such low quality, though. The blenders are really inspiring! I was trying blenders a bit today and I think I figured out the secret!!!!! I also did some toe spinning today

On another note, after reading what I wrote, I have the BEST first impression from that first day I met you! You drove up onto the sidewalk and rushed out to meet Marita and I -- that's 100% Tom Mosher! I wish we had a Tom Mosher in Winnipeg.

PS: Double hyper is SWEET

yo tom,

you spun!! i saw it, I swear

and that was awesome when your friend with the tape tattooed on him did all those stalls. it's cool that he's getting more into freestyle. how many pairs of lavers do you want tomorrow? and what's the plan? pm me some details.

i'm flattered that erik thinks we have similar styles... hahah, "matt cross + everyone else"...

nice vid, can't wait to watch it at home where I can listen to the music.

Hey Tom - Sweet Video dude!! Too bad we didn't get the part where you dropped all the 7 bags at the same time to see which one you ought to use and toe stalled the Felix. That was awesome.

We'll shred again soon hopefully, in Kingston or Ottawa, doesn't matter.

Haha, The part where you chased after the girls to give them militia propoganda was classic!

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 19 Nov 2004 11:17

Eeeeee!!! There is nothing more exciting than reading what people think of your work!

Thank you SOO much for being so nice to me guys!

Erik: The reason the girls screamed was because they didn't hear me coming until my foot slammed on a wooden table when I had just reached them and it made a loud BANG and I popped out of no where.

About the size, when I originally exported it on the Mac I made it on it came out as 95 megs, I knew no one would DL that so in the interest of getting people to watch it I compressed it in a common format that just happened to be really small. I can g-mail you a good copy if you want.

Oh, and I have fallen in love with toe spinning, how it looks and how it feels.

jon: see the top post I made, it says I am sending ryan his footage.

I am flattered that matt cross is flattered I look like him! When he shreds it is such beautiful poetry, I am at best an akward haiku written drunk on the back of a napkin.

Here is a little piece of FUCKED UP CRAZINESS that you guys won't believe.

OK.. think about any piece of video/music timing that may have looked kinda cool.. now think this... IT WAS ALL A FUCKING ACCIDENT! heheh

I chopped up the clips and had them sitting in the general order I was thinking of using them in and then when I was finally able to add the music track (I had problems with this) and hit play the movie played as it appears with almost NO changes!

How fucked up is that??

Oh, and that is why it ends so flat, I hadn't really planned on the last tricks being the end of the shred but I couldn't resist just leaving it in it's current state.

Oh yeah, and if you are wondering why it switches from B&W to Colour, it's because we filmed by accident in B&W and I only figured that out the next day. It was actually reaording at the time of figuring out, you hear me say "somethings.. off.. "*click* and it goes colour.

Thanks for watching my movie! If anyone wants a better quality one PM me and I'll gmail it to your ass.

It's always great to see how much fun people have playing footbag

toe spinning! yes!

great vid! Were you guys playing in a mall? Does your militia ever have run ins with security?

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 19 Nov 2004 17:42

Before doing some toe spinning attempts I actually said to the camera "This is for Rory!"

Security came and watched us play! I was afraid they were going to kick us out but they assured me that wasn't the case.

And that was the University Center that we were playing in.

Tom!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that was a sweet video!! Man your style is smoooooth!! Great paradox whirls! Haha and when you jumped in front of those ladies it was like... GO TOM!

Man I didn't know you were that good, that is so awesome!! Way to be, I had such a fun time watching the video!

Yeah!

Thanks soooo much man!!!

WOOO!!!

FUCKING FOOOOTTTTBAAAAAAAAG!!!

Sorry, I get carried away.

I just wanted to point out that that was 100% CLIMACOOL SHRED! in case anyone didn't notice.

And you know what? I really think they work!

I like these space boots!

I just recently used my shiny silver pen to make a crisp outline of the 'sweetspot' in my blades for maxhein clipperage.

Oh, and I really really really want honesty here - since I posted a video of just me it's sorta like.. uhh.. I feel naked now.

Can you guys rip my shit apart and give me pointers on my stuff?

I guess I should say that there are some 'staple' things that I do that are not in this video like pdx illusions and drifters.. which is odd. I guess I just didn't do any strings that had those that I thought were good enough to be in the video when it came to the chopping block.

Oh well, it will make me look better in my next movie when I actually do them!

So yeah, was anything shitty?

(I have been told that I am wild sometimes - YOU CAN'T TAME THIS BEAST BABY!! WOO!)

edit: and remember - I am still only at like.. uhh.. 10 months of actual playing time since I started footbag!

mosh, i liked it. i liked it so much, it has made me really want to shred. which is bad, because i'm supposed to be taking a break from shred. to shred i go...

Posi-Cole · Post by **Posi-Cole** » 19 Nov 2004 21:42

Yeah cool video all around.

The shred was great ... and there was a very cool balance of shred to other stuff.

Where did you get that music is one question that comes to mind for me? It was cool that it actually said (or sounded like it) Rude Boys in Kingston.

As for constructive criticism .. I don't have too much .. your game looks good and you get better everytime I see you .. Keep it up.

B_Man · Post by **B_Man** » 19 Nov 2004 21:52

Worst video ever.

Haha, that's such bullshit. It's one of my favorites now. Seriously Tom, not only does that want to make me kick, it makes me want to kick with you sooo bad! Your strings look a hell of a lot longer, and as almost everyone here mentioned, you are smoooooth. I've never seen Matt Cross shred, so I can't make any comparisons but I can say that you both have long hair, and it looks even better when you put it up to shred! Oh yeah, you're stylin

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 20 Nov 2004 04:50

They weren't lying, you've got the ole M.C. in ya when you shred ! Mosher, I totally agree with the others, your style is coming together well. Lighter on your feet, cool move combos, with such excitement in the air, oh, chilly philly will rock hard

Very sweet video, MOTHA FAWKA !

That's so sweet Tom, it's good to see your shred again!! What did those girls say when they first came up?

Keep the good stuff commin'!

they said, "hey Tom, what are you up to?" (or something like that)
then tom said, "just playing footbag. like usual"

and that's all I remember

Awesome editing man! That video was so much fun to watch, I guess it wasn't as epic as other people's comments because I filmed it and remember seeing all your dope ass long strings and crazy attempts at double hyper sets and whatnot haha but it looked so good all highlighted up. Awesome music selection, and I think the black and white/colour fuck up worked out in the end!

I want to get a good quality version of this movie, can you put it on the cd you give me with my footage?

Hey do you still have any of thse KFM flyers left? If you do, WHY AREN'T YOU GIVING THEM OUT?

Awesome video Tom!
