Awesome video!! Great editing, great footage, great everything!! Thanks so much! I burned it last night so I can watch it on my DVD player whenever I want!

The Vasek & Felix shred was really awesome!! Also, Karim has wicked style!

WOW I can't believe how dank of a shreder Karim Daouk is. Pardon my ignorance but what witch country is CH?

quadgun · Post by **quadgun** » 08 Jul 2005 22:31

Switzerland I believe.

The video fucking rocks!

I will write more about what I think on like monday or tuesday.

Mathochist · Post by **Mathochist** » 09 Jul 2005 01:04

For you fellow factoid collectors out there, CH does in fact mean Switzerland, and it stands for Confederatio Helvitica. If my classical studies serve me correctly, the Helvetians were a tribe that Julius Caesar conquered pretty much around where Switzerland is now, which explains not only the name of the place but the reason it's in Latin. (If any of this is mistaken, I leave it to the Swiss guys to correct.)

I also wish to toss my gratitude in with the lot. Viel dank, Bjoern.

I would just like to say Andrew Grant has friggen cool hair!

Also those videos where amazing! THANK YOU EBO!!! Man that Felix Vasek face off was epic, I was told Vasek didnt attend GFO?

brian relly · Post by **brian relly** » 09 Jul 2005 18:46

Can I ask how you people who burned them to DVD actually did so?

When I try to burn them using Nero, I get this error:

Help?

He didn't - but this is footage of Footjam which is in Zurich, Switzerland not Berlin, Germany

Awesome videos by the way! Of course you knew that already

. I really loved how you got a big vibe for the tournament. Also the yoyo guy rocks. The cup stacking was funny too - no Emily Foxs in footbag I suspect (or they were hiding when you were filming

)

Australia represent too

You should burn it as a VIDEO-CD, not DVD. And use PAL format, because it's how they are compresseed. You can burn VideoCD with Nero too...

HG · Post by HG » 10 Jul 2005 04:17

man i love every single video, except the players party one. I was told it didnt have shred so i didnt bother to download it.

Andrew Grant, even though you were drunk, you have a great way with words and put exactly why i love footbag into a touching speech

During the yo you routine i love how you can hear ?Bjoern? laughing the whole time. It really made it hilarious! Wow great great great great job on these. I could only request 2 more things. More Andrew footage, and more Kenny. The double spinning butterfly>double spinning osis attempt was fat.

ebo · Post by **ebo** » 10 Jul 2005 06:01

Yeah during the yoyo-show you hear me and Jason (Varvaro) laughing in
excitement

The Players Party part is 95% shred, by the way... and it's best to download
all parts and watch them in one go - I made it as one big video; I just
had to split it up to be able to upload it.

Thanks for the kind words everybody - keep 'em coming

HG · Post by HG » 10 Jul 2005 06:04

Oh the players party is shred? I heard from someone on MSN that there was none. Will do Bjoern!!! I am definitely gonna download the players party vid then watch it in one go

BalinorNZ · Post by **BalinorNZ** » 10 Jul 2005 13:28

Oh man, I thought GFO and footjam were the same thing! But they are in different countries? Man I suck at that geography.

Anyway, I just have to comment again! Bjoern, your the man. This video rocks! Man it was so cool to see some Ian footage! He is busting pretty hard! (I hope that was him I was watching!)

Only think I could ask more of, is Vasek

But who can't ask for more of that?

hahahaha! that's a good one...

yeah mathochist, we were talking about this in lucerne. we were walking throuhg the "old-town"! indeed it's "something" like that. (i'm not that good in SWISS-History, in world history and stuff im pretty good but on my own country i'm very bad!)

(comes from latin, helvetia: it's another, old name for switzerland. the name of the swiss people was: HELVETIER! and CH is indeed the confederation of the helvetier)

but i'm not sure about this story with caesar...

Maraxus · Post by **Maraxus** » 17 Jul 2005 18:13

It should be manditory for somebody like you to attend every great footbag tournament. You captured it unlike anything I have ever seen, props on your dedication, hard work, and creation of this monster of a video.

Well I am

...I have Latin at school and yes Cesar did conquer Switzerland...there would be a lot more to tell about that but actually it is very boring (believe me I had to suffer many soporific hours about Cesar and blablabla...) Just one thing : at 58 b.c. Julius Caesar defeated the Helvetiens (? English word ? no idea

) at the battle of Bibracte and annexed the area where CH is today to the roman empire....
