http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/-5904 NEW LINK!

This is a good long video of some serious shred. This video features Paul Agostinelli, Mike Anello, Matt Cross, Aric McIntosh, and Chris Dean!

Mike does what Mike can. Paul hits some new moves never before seen on video. Aric and Matt throw down some serious long strings. Chris Dean tears it up Vandall style.

There is no music to the video. I decided to just keep the original sound of the video to give you the feeling of actually being there ... OR ... I was tired and didn't have any more patience at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Enjoy.

It might be my connection, but it's taking mad long to download. I'm pumped to see, though.

Slow download? I just uploaded the file to footbag.org. It takes a little time before an uploaded video gets to the fast servers. Unfortunately, I do not know how long that takes.

When the video is on the fast servers, the download link will be something like v.footbag.org instead of www.footbag.org.

UPDATE: Download should be fast now. Enjoy.

Enjoyed it thoroughly mike thanks for filming and taking the time to edit. You got some great strings from all of us, that never happens at a film session.

Nice job!

Wow guys! You've all improved a lot! I liked all of the shred, thanks for puttin this out!

P.S. Where was this filmed?

mikeanello · Post by **mikeanello** » 06 Oct 2005 11:25

This shred session was filmed just outside the library at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology).

I'm going to upload a new version of this video with some gamma correction so that the bag and shred will be more clearly visible. I will post a new link when it is available for fast download. Please stand by...

HOLY CRAP Chris Dean!!
I squealed so much during your section, and had to keep rewinding to watch all of your bothsided combos over and over!!! That was unbelieveable!!! Were you always this AMAZING?? HOLY. Seriously....Is there anything you can't hit? (Both sides)

I always love watching Matt and Mike. Matt -- you have the cleanest blenders I have ever seen -- it looks like you're dexing at your calf!!!! I always love your style -- you're the best. I loved the stepping, Mike! The blizzard looked so styley!!

Aric's ducking totally reminds me of Eric Wulff -- it's the arms and the haircut. It was really nostalgic feeling because of that. Always love your bothsided frantic!!

Paul -- your style is so smooth, and it looks like you can go guiltless and for so long. You are going to be GOOD SOON! Work on the flip clipper and pixie. Your combos were so sweet though, dyno > dyno!

I wish I was in RFA -- thanks so much for the video, Mike!!!

PS: Let's see more of Matt skating!

thanks a lot to my man Mike for putting this together when I know he's busy busy busy. and thanks to everyone who checked it out.

Yo, Thanks alot Mike! that was an awesome video. i love watching you guys shred, gives me a warm feeling inside haha. i've played with all of you guys way more than anyone else...excluding pat and willie. Im looking forward to seeing RFA at KICKASS!!!

You guys all shredded hard! you were tearing it up chris dean!

BalinorNZ · Post by **BalinorNZ** » 07 Oct 2005 18:12

Woah-ho! Nice video guys! Man that rocked

I love Chris Dean! Damn, pixie flapper? GENIOUS!
I love how he does so much fairy stuff

I guess that's because I have been basing my game around that set alot lately. Also the drifters and torques are awesome!

You know i'm gonna say it... you guys should enter the online comps!

Edit: Chris dean has changed my life! Doing sets into flapper/sole stalls is pretty much the coolest thing ever!

cd · Post by cd » 07 Oct 2005 19:08

yeah Nic, i love fairy. It's waaaaaay easier than pixie in a lot of ways, and looks cooler in shuffle.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I'm really not very good-- it's just my cheater shoes.

And you can just call me chris if you like. or dean if you wanna be like that.

I think my favorite string in that video was at 8:30ish. Matt is so good at shredding to whatever music is playing. watch it again! There are too many props to give out in this video, but you all know whats up.

Thanks for the video Mike. Everyone totally represented our scene. RLF4ever!

I love this video. So sweet. There's not much I can comment on as far as technicality is concerned, but it LOOKS damned good.

I was thinking while reading this thread and watching the video, I TOTALLY went on a school trip to rochester last year. It would've been so sweet to shred. I was at the Eastman House.
