Now I think I can admit I was jealous that Mads gets to film Vasek!!!

There's no rivalry though, I guess Mads puts out a lot of great feeling videos (I say I guess because I don't keep up). So... really Mads theres nothing for you to feel bad about. If you go back and read all that stuff I said with the ebb and flow and what not I bet you'll get even better!!!! EVER BETTER THAN ALREADY GOOD RIGHT? Yay.

-the asshole

DM-personal Jesus. Everyone at my electronic music forum was just freaking out over how awesome Violater STILL is. Nice to see it used so well. Very serediptitous.

Awesome vid. Dennmark looks very interesting in the is random context. It's like an unbelievable kind of footbag dream that I used to aways get when I was starting.

I think that the fall is always the best time of the year for footbag. Everyone is trying to get a little more in before the winter, and the whole chill factor really helps you FEEL your windows and makes you shred to stay warmer.

Awesome vid man. I am very greatful to a handful of people in particular for help in making this sport become what it has today. With talent like this...

Damn I'm gonna shred so fucking hard tommorow- Caleb, Jake- I hope your around!!!

I found an old dvd export and uploaded it to VIMEO. The file is larger than the original making this video available in a higher stream/download quality.

Just saying, that's the video that made me start playing footbag in 2008.
Thx for producing that

Didn't they remove the audio from one of the king of footbags on youtube?

Glad we got another good copy on vimeo

I was wondering how close is this to his best shred at the time. The level and intensity is mind blowing, but it's still a street performance!

Was he busting his hardest or playing it safe for the crowd?

I wonder how much they made back then. The frisbee should be full of diamond and gold. They got to witness the legendary golden boy

You get so used to just "knowing" that Vasek was/is the best ever at this. Then you re-watch something like this and realize that this shred holds up today. It's ridiculous. And ridiculously awesome.

And seeing it in this sort of high quality just reinforces the mind-blowing-ness of Vasek shred.

Like the previous poster, I always wonder about this stuff. How many people in the crowd knew they were watching the ABSOLUTE BEST FOOTBAGGER in the world. I mean, they were witnessing something amazing firsthand - and most people probably thought, "Wow. That's neat." And kept walking.

Which then begs the question, how many incredible things have I seen and simply not realized what I was watching?

Anyway, enough philosophical nonsense. Back to watching this video... again.

Thx for all your comments guys.

This long version was actually meant to be the orginial King of footbag video. It is basically part one and two to a remix of Personal Jesus. Since I always have been advocating for videos under 5 min., I decided to make a shorter more comprehensible version. I uploaded this old file to VIMEO even though it was bad quality in 2006. Maybe one day I'll open the project again and remaster it in a high quality.
