Basically, Ken and Takumi are two of my favourite players right now. Both have such great style. There's some really sick strings in there too. Good job!

Looks like someone didn't pick up the hints in Ken's blog ;-]

P.S. Your janiwalkers look really good Ken!

That made my day! I still haven't watched the CSS7 vid, but I think I'll watch this one again.

The filming was good, the location's were great and the Shred was awesome! I loved the pass over the edge. Sweet stuff.

Excellent vid. Takumi has an even smoother style thena when I first watched one of his vids! Ken, your still an animal.

Wow, Takumi and Molly you guys have insanely smooth and semingly effortless games and Ken you're just insane. You were one of the first names I heard when I first discovered footbag on flipsider. Anyways I really enjoyed the video, I liked your shred spots and music selection and when Takumi sent the bag of the bridge.

Great vid.

loved the shred, but hated the music. it seemed like ken and takumi were lovers out for a romantic stroll... is this just me? regardless, the shred was sick. ken, considering this video is 5 months old

i'd say your jani's are looing really good. Takumi's style is sick, but i really expected longer strings from him. they all seemed really short. mind you alot of those combos were really sick, like mobius b2b looked easy as cake! i dig his surging, looks really cool. i can't believer "Molly" is how it's spelt, the whole time i was in japan i was calling him "Mori". i guess with the r/l reversal it still sounds the same, but i still feel like a jack ass!

Bunch of random observations:

1. Big thank you to Tencho for filming and editing this. I can`t believe how quick he put this out. I mean, uh, this is really really late...

2. I left Japan over 7 months ago.

3. All the footage on this video was shot in one day.

4. `Molly` is the English-ified version of "森井” which I would transcribe as "Morii." He just chooses to write it "Molly", which is kinda curious.

5. The synchro stuff took a long time to film. Takumi and I have different strong and weak sides, and play at different speeds. In the end, it didn`t come out as well as I thought it would. Surprisingly though, we got the synchro vortices within like 3 tries, which is amazing cause I suck at that trick.

6. When Takumi kicked the bag off the bridge, we were worried, cause that bridge goes over a 4 lane high way. Luckily, it landed on the sidewalk.

7. We shot probably close to 2.5 hours of shred, but somehow managed to miss a lot of Takumi`s better stuff. I don`t think this video is very representative of how he plays, but it`s better than anything else out so far on the net. I won`t mention Takumi`s better stuff, cause Worlds is now, so I want people to be surprised.

8. The shred on the bridge... the idea was to have me shred a path on the white line, and Takumi shred a path on the orange line. Dunno how apparent this was to viewers.

9. The graffiti backgrounds we found by pure luck. Rain forced us to relocate, and we found those great murals under a bridge. The floor was terrible (which likely explains why the shred is a little worse in this section) but we HAD to get the graffiti on tape.

10. Morii gets really shy on camera, so we didn`t get much good stuff of his.

11. Thank you for the compliments, especially on janiwalker. I`d never seen myself do them (this style) on video before, so I was relieved/happy to see that they were clean.

12. Music was a mixed bag for sure. I liked the first song (M-Flo?), didn`t like the second (sounds like Utada Hikaru), and thought the last one was OK. I thought it was cool that it was all Japanese music. Maybe next time I`ll request some other Japanese music.

13. I think there`s a good chance there will be a next time.

I dont remember seeing Takumi use flip toe more than once or twice

Other than that. Enjoyable video

I *loved* this vid. So chill and fun. Happiness caught on tape!

Ken, your jani's were just plain mean. Takumi, I love your spinning / torqing / drifting stuff. You're like a miniature version of Lon! Molly, I had no idea until now that you existed - now I do and you're really good! Keep it up!
