Aggresive Styles

NotHisRealName · Post by **NotHisRealName** » 12 Feb 2005 04:27

Ok, so Allan Hagget, Elli Piltz and Lonn Smith are very 'Zen' when it comes to footbag. They've got a style that seems to flow, but who has an aggressive style?

I gotta say thatJim Penske has one of the most aggerssive styles in footbag, today. I love to watch him because he just goes hard at whatever he's trying.

I know this post has no real relevance, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed Penske's aggresive style, and was wondering if there's anyone else out there, similar.

What about Ales or Yves? They're quite explosive as well, I think.

I think Kenny Schultz's style is pretty aggressive.

Juho Marjo, Sunil Jani, Justin Dale - they have very agressive styles too. And many other players have agresive style. I like watching some aggresive shuffle or butterflies. It's i so good that there is so many styles in footbag freestyle, and these styles are so diffrent.
I like if a player can 'manipulate' with his style during strings. This is so greate looking in someone is doing very calmed and 'flowfully' string and put in it some agressive combo - especially when it's hard combo

An examples of such players are (I think) Peter Irish, Lon Smith, Ricky Moran, Scott Bevier(sp?) etc...

Footbag is so glorious because of lots of styles...

Um, you guys are all f-in crazy. THE most aggressive style in footbag is:

Dan Klokow. He'll fuck you up! Dont stand too close to him, watch out for his knees, and never get in his way while he shreds. You'll regret it. He looks like somebody you wouldnt want to mess with, when he's shredding. Thats what I think anyway. Oh, and for an example of what Im talking about, just watch CIC SHRED.

Dave Holton

Gauntlet, Ducking Blurry Symposium Whirl, Christina Aguilera (I don't quite even remember what that one is, but ducking blurriest, or something even badder?)

I think Dave tried to rename Leviathan with Christina Aguilera, but Leviathan was alpine blurriest first.

Ales is definately explosive (I'd love to see some new footage, too!), but I wouldn't call him aggressive. I find Ales's style more fluid and gracefull.

That's not to say Penske's style isn't fluid or gracefull, but... Ok, so that is what I'm sayin'. It's just that he seems to rip into everything he does, and he does it so well. He doesn't seem to hold back on anything.
Where as Ales has a completely different style, almost a different philosophy about how he plays.

Penske gives me the impression that he's not one you'd want to bump into, in a dark alley because his style seems more raw.

Sigh. I don't know if I'm coming across right, here. Maybe it's just an individual perspective thing that's hard to translate. I mean none of what I've said as an insult, just as more of a comparason between styles.
