Exactly, it looks like Vasek has done an incredible last minute save there, the bag lays on the sole part of the inside (or that's how it seems). :D

I think it helps you in the beginning with clipper, butterfly, and osis. Which will help you progress faster with those types of tricks.

I'm pretty sure that if I played footbag for the better part of my life, I'd hope to have crank like that. Best in the world or not.

It's a wonder that the guy can still walk properly with crank like that, now that I think about it. :wink:

I remember your mad crank at KICKASS!! You've got wierd feet man... you have that huge deep pocket under your ankle bone for playing barefoot! I wish I had that... I'd love to be able to hit consistent clippers barefoot

I was skating(ice) around 2 months ago and there was this kid there. Beginner at it quite clearly. He had a hard time to push himself forward. What really struck me was that his ankles seemed to have no support whatsoever. His skate blades were almost perpendicular to the plane of the ice, but his knees were pretty close to the ice.

I doubt he was a footbagger, but sometimes people are blessed(or cursed) with damned good ankle crank.

Actually, he doesnt walk properly at all. He walks with his feet bent inwards.
Hopefully back one day.
