Alright, well i just realized that my crappy digital camera could take crapy videos so i decided to film myself hiting and missing some tricks to see if i could figure out what i could do better. Unfortunately my camera would only take videos in 12 second intervals so i had to hit the button, sprint infront and hit a move or two. I didnt intend to post anything but i hit a few fives so i decided to put it to music and to post it if anyone's interested. Quality isnt great and sorry about the large file size.
Dang that took a long time to load. I suggest you pay the 10 dollars and get a lifetime ifpa membership on footbag.org and upload videos there instead.
For drifter you should study Anssi's videos if you haven't already.
For torque you set it too high, forcing you to wait for the first dex. Set it lower, around where you would do a butterfly. When you do the first dex you should be attacking up at the bag right after it comes off your foot when the bag is still rising. That way you'll already be done dexing just after it peaks and you'll have more time for the osis. I'll wait till this weekend to give you the other pointers I have.
Nice stuff. The fairy paradon looked perfect. Pheonix was good too. Were you going for drifter or da-da? That one looked a bit strange.
I'd love to see some strings...if you ever get a better camera

Haha yea it was kinda hard to do the moves so fast. Thanks for the advice, it was a drifter atempt but for some reason i just cant make them work. ive hit more clean torques than drifters , ill try to get strings, maybe three moves? ill try and hit my sick three for this weekend on video
Haha fairy dust, i like it. Yea, my toe sets are really weird, my knee come across my body. i will film a bit of my session today and will have the video up in a bit. I'll try and string some moves together.
Sorry about the double post but i just put up another video. I had the most increadible session ever today, i think the last five moves in the video ive never hit before. Never hit eggbeater before and i hit it and pixie eggbeater and fairy eggbeater. so stoked. the ratio is a bit off so i look squashed.
whooaaaaa man. props. I'm jealous of your progress! I stopped trying to watch the first video because putfile is a piece of shit. Im dling the second one now... but i saw fairy paradon and fairy flail, fucking sick! Looking forward to shredding it up this weekend, ill post about the 2nd vid in a sec.
*edit* just watched the 2nd vid... more jealous. pixie illusion>pixie mirage>pixie paradon>whirl = sick. looks like you've made a toooon of improvement man, how much are you playing right now? keep it up. emily informs me we're picking you up at 12:30 from the bus station tomorrow. see ya then.

awesome video...but it seems like ur really one sided with some of those moves....i dont think i saw any flipside pixie/fairy sets, whirls, or dod's...everything looked great besides that though...you are progressing like crazy
enjoy! (sorry about size 
)
but for some reason i just cant make them work. ive hit more clean torques than drifters
