Watching Footbag Videos..

This topic was to unimportant to post in a footbag related forum, so I thought it'd be most appropriate here..

When watching footbag videos, especially after a long day of shred, do you notice your legs jump/twitch whenever the player is doing tricks? Particularily with knee dexing moves for myself..

Am I just a freak, or is this normal?

Not normal.

At least for me it's not.

Hey, Ben! Try this...
Next time you're watching a movie with someone, check to see if they slightly pucker their lips when people kiss on screen.
It's a human trate to 'imitate' others. Empathy has something to do with it.
Without doing a google search I can't tell you the full story, but I've seen a show that was about the study of empathy in humans. They did experiments where a subject would watch video footage of a hand gripping something, and their measured brain patterns showed that the subject also moved to grip an object that didn't exist.

The kissing one is an easy one to look out for, though you'll find the actions are very slight.

I don't think I do, but I can't remember. I know my legs twitch in my sleep or when I'm trying to go to sleep. And I've seen other footbagger's legs do this.

The only time I get leg twitches is when I'm forced to watch a chick flick. Some people equate it to running away, but really it's an uncontrolled reaction....I swear.
