If he would have hit blur off superfly he would have had a really good seal (to me Blurs are coolest trick to seal a combo with). He sealed the mobius with a superfly, but superfly was part of what he was attmepting to do in the first place, so I personally take this for grantite. I guess seals are totally relative to the combonation of A)The persons level of skill, and B)what the footbag community deems worthy at any given moment in time. Can u imagine a pro nowadays travelling back to like the 80's? those people would shit thier britches. On the other hand imagine if a pro nowadays traveled 20 years to the future do you think they would they be looked at as intermediate!?

Yeah I can imagine like 10 years (or whatever) from now Kenny going for a like.... a quintuple nemesis or some shit like that. Like Tony in skateboarding... but I don't want to be seen exactly like skateboarders are seen. We're individuals to. Wait.. what was this topic originally about? Seals... okay yeah... I think Chan made a great point, but Matt made a point I was gonna make too... what if it's "seal" like you're sealing a bottle to "close" it?

hey Bigsmellyfoot. What does looking at the future of footbag and big combos have to do with skateboarding. Why do u think that makes footbaggers seen like skaters with no individuality? And what do u mean by Kenny hitting a quintuplete nemesis like tony.. tony doesn't hit quintuplete nemesis. I was talking about what would be considered a seal in the future... not talking about barking aquatic mammals or tonys 900.

Sorry bout that I guess it really didn't make that much sense... okay... Tony Hawk nailed some spinning thing on a ramp on ESPN2 or MTV or something one day and I just remember people were like "What a GREAT day for skateboarding" and stuff like that. So... I meant it as a reference to that (was it a 1080? I can't remember.... 900? whatever....). I'm an idiot. I'll shut up now (matt you can't have my address. look behind you. BOO! hahahahaha... i'm already in your house)

wicked · Post by **wicked** » 20 Dec 2002 22:21

I find it hard to beleive your not sure if it was a 1080 or a 900. You must be pretty sheltered out there in good ol' North Carolina to not know that bigsmellyfoot. Do u live out in the sticks or something where they aint got no skateboardin lol.

bigdirtyfoot · Post by **bigdirtyfoot** » 20 Dec 2002 22:24

and why's that? haha... oh [edit] and yeah i do live in the sticks actually.. we have 3 acres of trees.

wicked · Post by **wicked** » 20 Dec 2002 22:34

Why what? are you asking me why are u sheltered? Dude you barely know the 900. I think you have to be over 80 years old to legally not know that.. Whats with all the anti skate talk anyway. Its like you guys have skateboarding envy or something.

bigdirtyfoot · Post by **bigdirtyfoot** » 20 Dec 2002 22:41

Sigh... anyways.... back to seals...

wicked · Post by **wicked** » 20 Dec 2002 22:46

bigdirtyfoot · Post by **bigdirtyfoot** » 20 Dec 2002 23:06

wicked · Post by **wicked** » 20 Dec 2002 23:44

For me, to seal a move, the hitting of the trick has to be comfortable and controlled. Whatever comes before or after is not realy relivant, be it a toe stall or a whatever. If you hit a trick smoothly and you're not diving all over the place just to recover it, then it's sealed. Also, repetition is the key. If you can hit that move again and again, on call, then it's sealed.

HAHAHAHA wicked keeps calling bigdirtyfoot bigsmellyfoot! hahahahaha

I consider a seal making a controled contact after the move. Doesn't matter where the move comes from. Kick into it or butterfly into it, whatever.
The seal is after the move.

A controled hand catch is a seal

A controled kick is a seal

A controled dive into the ground to catch the bag in your ass is a seal

NotHisRealName · Post by **NotHisRealName** » 22 Dec 2002 23:27

I agree.
All but that arse thing.
Dude, that's just wrong.
Who'd kick with the footbag after that.

(Remind me never to put my footbags into a circle with you)
