another footbag promotion (from zeb and kyle)

Post by Zeb Jackson »

ok me and kyle recently did a promotion for footbag (i guess you could say) for some church thing in my town. It was really fun, but short-ish, i think i sucked it up just for the fact that i flaked and didnt do even CLOSE to the best of my abilities...but kyle still did really well (better than me i thought) well anyway here it is

Very cool! Props for setting that up! Zeb I think the reason Kyle 'looked' more impressive than you was because he stuck to doing moves and strings he knew he could hit. You tried to hit long strings and hard moves (dyno) with no gauruntee of not dropping, atleast that's how it looked to me. I think it's important in a public performace to drop as little as possible, playing tiltless with no drops is way more impressive than guiltless strings of 3-5 moves :).

The music was really good, exiting and went well with your performace, I also liked how you used different bags, made it look more professional and less hackysackish ;).

Synchronized shred is cool! It shows that footbag isn't just random flailing and that there are set moves, and it's cool to watch, you have inspired me to investigate it further :)

Good stuff, keep performing!

Why were you trying to play guiltless when you only could do 5 contacts at maximum?

For footbag demos, always play easier than in circles and do crowd pleasers.

Also - play always your face to the audience, not your back.

Yeah, these people don't even know what footbag is, so take your time. Slow it down just a tad, and try and accentuate the moves. And yeah, just do moves and strings you know you can hit.

Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

Hey, well good job then guys! Sorry if my constructive criticism came off bad. I think most of the guys were just giving you tips on next time. I probably should've commented on what I liked. I really did think you guys did a great job. Kyle's gettin pretty good! You guys both rock, can't wait to see your online comp entries this month!

i dont know if im going to enter the sick 1, but i might enter the sick 3....ben and zilla i dont think the harshness was directed towards you from kyle, i think it was from how a lot of the people on modified (im not naming names) criticize what people do, rather than analyze the positive people do on here, but its okay i forgive you all for anything you do now, or in the past, or in the future...and if i ever get into it with any of you, i apologize in advance

i love you guys man :P

but i would also like to thank you for your criticism! If it wasnt for shredzilla making me realize im no was nowere near guiltess helped me achieve a strong tiltless foundation, and helped me acquire a good foundation for a start at learning guiltess, so i thank you once again man....

dling now, geez, the bickering, thats what the world is like, if you dont like it, stop getting offended like a little btch, cause in the end it only makes people either into the aholes you fear, or the phony polites that bore and annoy.

Grrrr......

Making me have to post again =/

I acted the same way I would in real life. Normally I would just stop talking to the people who would were making fun of me or "bickering" with me unless I could avoid them and this isn't that type of case. Last thing..... read the whole topic! This wasn't just this that made me leave modified (except for this case) there are other things that make me want to leave so next time, think before you call someone a "little bitch".

i did read the whole thing, and it seems like your making a problem out of nothing, i didnt MAKE you post again, you seem to like exchanging opinions here, so why stop, thats silly? but your right, my bad, watch some monty python, and dont take life too seriously cuz.... i forget how the rest of that goes
