Good news! I started to work on the video.. at leas the intro
Intro lasts about 3 minutes.. but video will probably go for 5 or 6 mins max I beleive,
I still need a bit of footage but I should be fine to go for 5 minutes, I'm not going to invest much time so don't expect a top quality movie, but it's gonna be funny at least, dancing from nick and mark, wet willie on kolo, or either kolo mopping.. all good stuff :D

See you guys thursday!

Im exctied already!

Dont make the intro too long though, 3 minutes out of a 5 minute move is quite a bit. Its not much of an intro at that point, the shred becomes like an outro, or something.

well the intro contains shredding, its like 1 string of a player and then something non shred related of him with his name, since we are so many and I want to include everyone at least once.. the intro does take a long time, but then after I don't have footage of everyone to include for after the intro so that's why intro takes a long time

I've had a bad day today.. plus I wont be able to ride my bike anymore with all the snow but a cool surprise awaited me and made me all exited!
While cleaning my room, I found some old shorts (bathing suit) that I bought this summer that I never used, it looks ok for shredding, I'll try them tomorow! I'm really exited about playing with them and see if the shorts will make a difference in my game since so many of you keep telling me to get rid of my stinky shorts !

awsome that your working on the video, sounds like its gonna rock.
I was wondering if you could put that string in of me right before we dance, cause it was probably my best string you caught on tape :)
ohhh, and if you need a place to host the video once its finished, my friend has a website that hes sorta makeing for me about footbag, and im pretty sure his server is faster than footbag.org, (cause it always seems to be running extremely slow for me)
keep up the awsome work, cant wait to see the new shorts :wink:
Peace out my montreal monstars!

Marc the Shark wassupp!!!

You guys had better check out his section, im sure its gona have the crazy pre-dance string on it.

Guess you showed up yesterday?

FFFIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been a while! He was quite rusty though :cry: but im sure he'll be able to maker a recovery. He better not quit after chilly philly though :evil:

Me and Eli both hit a HIPPY pdx. whirl. SO hard, though. Also, got an idea for a sick3, I think I might have time to enter in the next comp.

Thats about it. Havent seen James in a while (tsk tsk), nor Seb.

See everyone at philly!

Fuck I can't believe I missed the Fiend!
All for a lousy vertebrate taxonomy test :evil:
I still have a metal footbag of his, haven't even used it! I was planning on using it to condition my legs at a higher weight (it's also harder to delay) but I never got 'round to it.

Anywho, nothin' else to say really....ok one more thing

You still have the metal bag? I was sure you had given it back a while ago.

Anyway looks like the final krew of chilly philly is decided upon, should be an annoying voyage due to packing so many people in one van. Big thanks to Bob Green for putting up with us all! And to Joshua for putting on the tourney.

On my game: I think its time to work on my flip clipper a bit more. It sounds weird, but I can definetly tell them both apart. Its like im not bending over it enough or something. Its most noticable with osis-like moves (torque, blender). I can hit them flip, but it feels so weird, and im always off balance.

Me and Eli both hit a hippy-style pdx. whirl (after MANY attempts). Its so hard to do properly, and without curving your foot for the whirl. Fun move, but, (In a James voice) "Thats so narsty and impractical, and im the LEADING authority in footbag!" :lol:

Rev. Swirling Symposium Torque seems pretty possible to me. I think If I could get enough height, and do the rev.swirl fast enough, I could hit it. Was also thinking about Rev. Swirling Symposium Torquescrew. Sounds impossible, but If you do the motions without a bag it seems VERY feasable to me.

Im also SO close pdx. whirr, its not even funny. I can dex it, but its turning for the clipper which is so difficult for me. I vow to hit it at CP05.

What else, thats about it I think. Tune in next time for some more exciting Sick Slick Nick footbag progress!!

ps: I dont believe anyone who says that they beat Halo 2 on legendary.

I had time to work a bit more on the video today, lasts 7minutes right now, so tomorow will probably be my last shooting day, so James you better show up I don't have much of you for the video!
I'm pretty sure the video will be done and posted next weekend.
Also if you have idea's for music let me know,
Right now I'm using :
Pump up the jam (Technotronics)
Bambina (Hotei Tomoyasu)

I'm pretty sure Nick and James will hate the music, but without suggestions I'll stick to that :P

See you guys tomorow!

Hip Hop by dead prez sucks, I find. I haven't gotten more fond of it at all since I've heard it.

I want Drop it like its Hot by snoop dogg on mine, if possible :)

OK, time for some good-ol' fashion egoism: :D

Ive decided to win as many sick 3`s as I can, starting with the next one. My combos (which I`ve hit before) are way sicker, and fresher, then the ones presented so far (in div. 1).

This will accomplish the following:

1) People will get annoyed at watching me be #1, and push themselves to hit bigger things and hopefully beat me.

2) People will get annoyed at watching me be #1, and watch the way I do my tricks and maybe learn something

3) People will get annoyed.

I think that all 3 are worthy goals, and I want to shine in the spotlight where Vasek hasn't stepped in yet.

No disrespect intented to any competitor, of course.... but im better :)

ps: I hope Chilly Philly gets a spot for the 1st :!:

I look forward to seeing your submission.

Currently O'Wheel is is sitting pretty at top of the Division 1 world. It will be interesting to see what you've got to overthrow him.
