Yeah, I would have to agree. Still cool though, "the" doesn't mean shit if you make it flow right :wink:

You can really tell on the last attempt :wink: Don't let it stop you from cleaning it up.

That's tight though. I would be happy to have a the surging set, just cuz I know it would smooth out with time. Sick moves!

thanks guys, i have to agree that it is 'the' but at this point pretty happy with it because it my first day of ever drilling it and surging is a super hard set to get clean.

Release, then spin.

The bag should pass just under the thigh/crook of the knee for it to be clean. Starting the spin while the bag is on the foot will slur the dex.

You didn't catch the dex on any of those moves -- sorry.
Regardless, keep workin it bro! You'll get it.

Edit: School whatever you need to. No, surging isn't useless. :wink:

Thanks Jorden.


I'm thinking im not really going to work on surging to much because i really need to skool some other crap and i dont want to concentrate on "useless" sets. A fun one anyway.


good plan?

Yeah, nail the foundations then move on. Thats probably the one most important thing I've learnt playing footbag.

Its looking quite nice though.

good to see you are back :D there has been a distinct lack of rev whirl action without you here.

As for surging, nobody will ever say it's clean. But who cares, because it still looks mega cool slurry.
