Alright folks, well, zero Division 3 videos were sent in, so once again that competition is postponed.

At any rate, we have what should be a small, but close vote for our first Division 4 competition.

I put the video Stephen Blair sent me for the second Division 3 competition (which was cancelled) in this one, because it may as well get to be in a competition, and I think it matches up well with the rest of them.

Please watch all the videos and vote for your favorite, taking difficulty, execution and creativity into consideration.

Videos are in order received:

Stephen Blair
Infinity > Paradox Mirage > Illusion

My apologies ... but until this morning I haven't been able to post on Modified to get this poll up and running.

I understand others are having problems as well.

I even PM'ed Brad to try and get him to post this competition for me. Anyway, it's here now .. vote away and discuss!

Hm... I can't seem to get Stephen's video working... I'll try again when I'm at home, but I'm worried because all the other ones DID work.

Ok the winner of this round gets a LCF footbag, personaly stitched by me!

I voted for Dan because I love inside>inside ATW and he seemed in total control of the bag. Although Mathieu Gauthier's 3 is techniqually "bigger" excerp the clip, I personally don't like when PLO dexes are mixed, like instead of pixie set . . . legover, its more of a blended sailing set bailed to toe, and the DLO was a little rushed. Dan Wax combo was good, but the only thing I personally didn't vote for him for was his control, he started here and ended up 6 feet to his right.

All good combos, I didn't think novice/div 4 would be hitting PLO or DLO. Cheers to all, and just to let you know, the bag the winner will recieve is a leopard print 4 panel crushed panne

Yea I noticed that my control was pretty bad too. I was hoping nobody would notice? hahaha. I don't really have that much footage, but hopefully my next sick 3 will be a lot better. I am just happy that I got it in on time

i also voted for dan f., the div 1 combos are all pretty standard,
but that got nothing to do with the players creativity, you
just dont have to many possibilities, when starting out.
needless to say, i have the same "problem", cuz i
started freestyle only september this year .
But within the div1 framework, dan got some good stuff
out of it : a little variation (inside instead of toe) of a
basic move, great control and it was as clean as the board
of health ! Props.
You really inspiring me, dan, i stop putting my game down
and i try to get some shit on tape . thanx.

edited once : typo

I didnt vote for Mathieu because he is sandbagging a lot. His combo should be div 3 if not low division 2.

Unfortunately there is no Division 3 to speak of since no one sent in videos for the second straight competition.

I disagree with Henry. Clipper doesn't belong in Div 3 or 2.

I voted for Fearey. He made it look easy.

I don't feel like I am sandbagging at all.. Pixie legover , DLO, pdx mirage and buterflie are pretty much the only 3 adds I can hit in a string.. I just went for the tricks I found harder to me for the video.

If I would have placed something like PLO -> DaDacurve -> DLO then I think I would'nt belong in division4

Agreed ... this is a sick 3, not a sick 2 with a huge bail thrown in the middle.

If Mathieu had done something aside from clipper than it wouldn't have been suitable for Division 4, as it is, I think it's a very strong Division 4 video.

Hey thanks man. That's cool of you to say.

Definatly try to get some of yourself on tape also. It helps you a lot and it is interesting for others to see.

The level is a lot higher than I expected - this is the level I would expect for Div 3 - not div 4. I know that the divisions got put together - but if this is the level expected for div 4 then I think it will be impossible to find anybody of the level of div 3 - it is way too narrow. Personally I'd put all these people in Div 3.

I voted for Mathieu Gauthier because I think his combo is easily the best.

He used 3 different surfaces (inside, outside, toe) and performed 4 dexes - two with each foot and in opposite directions. He was also the only person to hit a genuine 3 add in his combo and he hit two.
