Furious Set Tutorial- Tips, Frame by Frame Slow Mo, Examples

Post by Senor Grommet »

If you are interested in learning how to do the barraging or furious set, I have completed a tutorial video that is available for download at:

http://www.mwhansen.org/footbag/A%20Fur ... Better.mp4

It is approx. 11.5 MB, and is about 1 min 30 seconds in length. I think it is the best furious set tutorial that has been made up to this point. It has numeroius slow motion clips of the set, tips related to leg positioning that are displayed between clips, clips that isolate integral parts of the dexing leg motion, and an example of the set into another trick.

I made this tutorial in response to a post in the trick tips section, but I think anyone can learn from it. Even if you have a better furious set than do I, you will learn how yours is different from mine, and maybe, how you can teach it to another person.

EDITED: changed file name, so it works now!

Jeremy, that was soo awesome. Thanx for the video. I've been trying to hit furious for awhile now, with no luck. This is exactly what Ive been looking for. I think people should do this kind of thing for a lot of different tricks/sets. Just what I was looking for...thanks a ton.

Nice vid but i really DON'T agree about the knee position stuff. It should be much more steady.

Props on the last few seconds link! 8O

Cool Jeremy! I really like it. Maybe can you do something similiar for Quantum set? And Blazing? The birds are singing that you're good at them!

Grom, this is an EXCELENT vid. It's exactly this type of stuff that in a perfect world would be produced by the community for the .ORG freestyle section, starting from kicking and toe delays up.

i had what i though was an okay furious set. i had hit a bunch of stuff both sides, but height and consistancy were an issue. thanks to mirk's tut, my sets became higher and more consistant in a matter of minutes. i just needed a bit of re-education to furious.

It doesn't work for me. What player are yu guys using?

EDIT:

Okay I watched it. That's pretty cool. It makes me think I can hit it now...but I haven't tried yet.

Jeremy, that set is so high. How come you're not nailing nemesis??
