The breakbeat music fits Ken's shred so well.
Blazing Eclipse is an awesome looking trick.
Kippahs (sp?) rule. I use to wear one just because they look cool.
Schneider! Too little footage of him out there. Awesome style.
Toebius is an awesome trick.
DSO is used way too little. I gonna school that today.
Thanks!

Thanks for making the video Drew. Random thoughts:
1. Doctor Octagon! I was obsessed with this album in high school, so it was cool to be on a vid with this music ten years later. Check out this Doc Ock video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtsdtNdk5ao
2. I thought the video was a bit long. I would have cut some strings, or if a string only had one good link/trick, cut it down just to show the best part.
3. Google video or youtube are cool cause they make the video more accesible, but...
4. ... they also make the video quality decrease a lot. You should host the video on footbag.org or get Mike Hansen to help you. That way we'd get better video quality. Certain tricks were hard to see (frantic dod, was it clean or not? Hard to tell) due to the vid quality.
5. I recently got injured and am only now getting back into footbag, so it was fun/inspiring to have this footage come out now so I could get pumped up about reaching that level again. Cool.
6. Benny never left?!?! I hope he enjoyed the free shred session and my g-units...
I should go to NY and have a "farewell" session sometime...

You all are right it is too long, but i kept finding more strings that i wanted to put in and i wanted to show everyone that was there who had a worthy string. I have no .org account and i no that i should get one i have no acceptable excuss. Benny is still here hanging out and working for Red Bull doing soccer freestyle, he is planning on moving after worlds this year but he did get a lot of free stuff for staying in the US.

yo
Hey,!
I thought I was gonna be outta here. But there was issue the first time I tried to leave. Problems, you know?
Now that I am here, I am on the first professional soccer freestyle team in the USA, the first one sponsored by a pro soccer team in the WOrld. I am happy,; I get paid 12.50/hour to drive around in the Red Bull truck/ kick around and do tricks (soccer freestyle) and then we almost always get in at least an hour of playing against people playing street soccer.
Finally, getting paid to do freestyle!!
Soon in the footbag World too.

WHen I want to, on these freestyle missions, I am allowed and even encouraged by my teammates to bust out the footbag.
THEN, I am GETTING PAID to PLAY FOOTBAG. 12.50 an hour.
SWEET!!!!
