Wow! Thanks Dexter!!
That little preview in the Footbag section was, like, the best quality footbag clip I have EVER seen! AMAZING!!!! Footbag is blowing up!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is so nice! I love tricks, not only footbag-wise, and this page is very, very nice... One should buy that book...

holy cow...I have never seen footbag that clear in my life...and never to peaceful music. I like it better with the music like that. The book and DVDs are toatally worth the money.

The video Renato Zulli posted of himself along with his worlds footage (I might not be remembering correctly) was really really crisp, clear footage as well.

I've always thought of footbag+highspeed-camera as the coolest
combination ever.

What does rock+bottle (under skills taught) mean though?

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 12 Dec 2004 19:57

yeh I wasn't sure what rock+bottle meant either, but I just thought it was some hard move that I hadn't learned yet... That footage is awsome, I so want that book but I can't get it because It wouldn't play in my U.S. DVD player

hi,

rock & bottle> thats a kind of a joke, when i was explaining that zou can delay anything and how delaying and reflexes help you when theres some object like an orange falling down a table. they liked it and a short clip for it there.

the whole footbag section is pretty long (about 20 minutes)

the producers realeased it later than planed, but they are trying to sighn a contract with universal or tri-star so it could be available in US

I love the slowmotion in there. they used a 16mm cam to film it and it looks great.

I may buy this. The pool tricks looked pretty cool also (as did most of the other sections.. maybe with with the exception of batton twirling..)

Lise · Post by **Lise** » 13 Dec 2004 06:28

heh... -I liked the batton twirling..

Cool tricks. This book has made it to the top of my christmas wish list now... (I doubt I'll get it though...)
Thanks for the link. It definately is COOL !

how much is that in u.s. dollars

sacktreter · Post by **sacktreter** » 03 Jan 2005 05:07

hehe, i got my book of cool for xmas

here is a short review of the footbag section:

like i expected, the quality is brilliant. never have i seen such good footage before. if you want some helpful tips on pixie, stepping, spinning and ducking stuff or how to pick up the bag without hurting your back from vasek and dexter you should seriously think about buying this "book". if you want some hardcore shred and really professional footage with perfect angles and perspectives a la sick03 dont buy it, but wait until i have ripped the dvd and put it online

somebody should give this camera to fred and pierre. the result would be

vasek is showing off and dexter is explaining, thats how most of the video is built up. except for the rock and bottle clip. dexter shows some hardcore trick there. on the whole, it is really funny and perfect for a good laugh. but like i mentioned before, the quality of shred cannot even be compared to one of vaseks routines (i know that doesnt mean a shit), however this was obviously not the goal of the video.

i seriously think that this book is a great piece of art. i havent watched all the stuff yet. from what i have seen i liked the disc-freestyle and the penspinning sections the most. the gun section is kind of stupid, so is the rugby-kicks section but i dont care.

i dont know what to tell more. if you (like i do) love all stuff that involves some kind of tricks or special skills and want to learn some new ones yourself do not hesitate. get your copy today. you should not buy it just to see the footbag stuff. if you want to know the prize klick through the order form, the overall prize in your currency including shipping will be calculated in the end. i payed 50euros which is totally ok imo.

if you want to see it before you buy it come to my place and i show you a brief preview

p.s.: thank you dexter for posting this stuff here. i really love it.

the title could not be more apt

I think this may very well be the coolest thing I've ever seen come through this forum. Please let us know when NTSC is available. I can't wait to see the full thing.

My wife had looked into it as a gift for me for Valentine's Day, but the NTSC format wasn't to be out until the end of February... which has come and gone. So it should be available.
