Just watched the ducking video.

Very, very nice

Thanks again Anz for these videos. Amazing!

Edit: Just watched the gyro video. Great footage! Just one suggestion, it would be helpful in this one to display trick names and nicknames, like (Gyro Drifter = Vortex).

Very helpful videos!

yeah, for me at least, all of the first videos that you released didn't play smoothly at all. they would jump around all over the place, but the new ones are good

Yes well the video was a tutorial for Gyro itself, not those tricks. And I thought it would be distrubting if the screen would have so much text all over the place.
I hope the video is helpfull the way it is now.

Well that's rather odd. I think you need to blame your computer for that. Anyone else had problems?

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 22 Apr 2006 09:31

well, yes. my computer is a large pile of shit. it's got nothing new except a few memory upgrades. it's not really mine, but even if it was, i'd have no reason to want to upgrade it

ATTENTION: FIRST PREFIX VIDEO

PIXIE TIP VIDEO FINISHED:
http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/8276

So this is the first set video that I made. I won't do any other before I get feedback from thisone, I want to set instructions to be good.

SO COMMENTS ON THIS ONE, PLEASE

[edit:] url changed due new video (now including tip for higher set)

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 24 Apr 2006 11:16

hmm...well, it was good, but one thing i think will help is how to get it higher. for instance, you did a phoenix at the end (effortlessly and flawlessly) yet, watching the video and being able to do pixie's does not tell me how to get it up to my head. i can set a pixie at about abdomon height, but it just won't go higher.

Some tips on getting more set height would be awesome, set height can be a problem for many people.
Other than that great vid, please make more!!!

Awesome new intro/hairstyle! Thanks for fufilling my request. This is going to help a lot!! I'm a little pissed at your country for making you join the military though. But you rock!@@!@#!@#@R%#@!

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 25 Apr 2006 05:44

ok thanks for the feedback.

MINOR CHANGES MADE FOR PIXIE VIDEO:
http://www.footbag.org/gallery/show/8276

now including a tip for higher set.

Matt K · Post by **Matt K** » 25 Apr 2006 13:49

wait...did i miss something? isn't the new one exactly the same? same length, and unless i wasn't paying attention, or it was implied, i didn't see a tip for set height

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 26 Apr 2006 02:43

well I only added one text there, on the slo-mo of Phoenix.

I'm about to do Fairy tips today, but if I don't have enough time I'll do them tomorrow. Let's just see how rusty my Fairies are atm...

thank you so much for producing such cool vidoes for newbies!!

I have a question:
is it right when you spot the bag as fast as possible that you won't get dizzy?
no sptting = dizzy, I guess...

I assume your talking about the Spinning component. Yes, it is important to spot the bag fast. If you do consecutive spins you'll get dizzy otherwise.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 26 Apr 2006 07:45

yeah man, for spins, i set, and spot as quickly as possible, which obviously requires head turning towards the bag, and follow with my shoulders and then the rest of my body. and remember to stay straight or you're done for.

You may have linked the wrong vid Anz, that text isn't on that link.

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 26 Apr 2006 08:14

Hey that's true - and bloody weird. Because I deleted the old vid from there and added the new one.

the link works in the first post of the thread:

-Pixie (+Pixie Ducking)

how can that be even possible?

Anz · Post by **Anz** » 26 Apr 2006 08:33

ok I uploaded it again, but it's still the old version

What the fuck? I don't even have the old version on my comp?!?!

Oh well, that link in post above is to the new version ^

I think it has to do with the way servers store information. I've had the same thing happen to me before. It has to do with the beginning part of the file name being the same as the second file. I don't know the exact reason it does this, I just know putting a 1 or some other random character in FRONT of the file name fixes this problem. It's a quick fix for that type of thing.

You'll sometimes run into the same trouble when using other types of file storage sites like Photobucket, Putfile, etc. and the same solution works.
