If vids were posted for camera quality and editing I would have nothing but positives. But since all you really got were comments about that or how hard you busted, I figure someone should tell you some advice, because you aren't learning anything from the comments thus far.
The first few seconds are good. Then comes that fairy whirl. I think at your level you should know that it was the without me telling you. I'm curious as to why you would put it in a movie, let alone slow moed it.
The next string is pretty good, but look at the osis. You are just using the gunit inside to push that around. You have to spot it, sink, and then turn and release. It looked more like a push, which is a bummer because the rest of the string looked pretty good.
The mobius is froggy. You should set>spin, you blend them together. It is a good trick, but it could look better with a more divided attack.
Good pixies kyle, good pdx. blender zeb. On some of the stepping tricks Kyle does it looks borderline slurry. Look at the dropped blurry dyno for clarity. Pretty clean ducks by Zeb after that.
I think the whirr was the, or at least shotty. The spins by Zeb are good, not froggy. Nice zooms kyle.
Overall I wasn't blown away. The last footage I saw of kyle in climas was a bit better than this, and can't zeb do like whirl war and shit? Idk, I just was kinda like meh the whole video. If you want my advice you guys need to go back and skool your form on your basics more and do like 50 contacts of tiltless. Right now its just like big trick>bops till you get tired after 10 contacts. Control is also an issue. Zeb has a fair bit but most of kyle's stuff looks a tad sloppy. Also it's a pretty one sided video. Did Kyle touch flip toe?
If you think I'm being a dick, sorry, but all these kids who posted before me aren't helping you by telling you that vid was great, when you guys can be so much better than this. If your just playing footbag for giggles and don't care thats great, and then this video was cool and just for fun. But if you really want to progress take some of my comments and use them in your practice. If you want to reach a high level you need a better foundation, and I hate to say it but a better physique. You might want to add running a few miles into your footbag regimen.
Just trying to help.

Hey thanks david, its posts like yours that help people, maybe a little more tips would have been helpful, but thanks for taking the time to help us out.
in fact, im going jogging today
and i drill tilt almost every sesh for atleast half an hour but its cool, ill keep drilling tilt. I wasnt playing the best in this video, ive been on like a 5 day suck fest as far as shred goes, and i work a ton so this video was more about my new camera and the editing, than it was about the shred. I too agree that the shred isnt up to par as far as what we both can do, i personally think i sucked in this video, but i put that aside and took the best strings out of all the ones we filmed during that session and made a video, because i was stoked about my new camera. But thanks david your response was the kind of response i was wanting
there will be another video probably in the next couple weeks, please critique that one as well, because it will be better (shred wise) than this one. thanks dave.
