Hi. If you've been reading my blog you know that I cannot play for 2 months because of a back problem I have encountered. For this reason I am not sure when I will be playing at a high level again, so I wanted to post one of my favorite videos I made but never put out. I hope you like it.

Any comments would be awesome. I don't think anything is super the. Enjoy.

Haven't watched it yet, but if it's one of your fav's, it's going to be one of mine. Thanks in advance.

As always, I like your style more than anyone I've seen. You're always on your toes and so quickly aggressive with the bag, yet sometimes it seems almost slow and graceful. Whenever you mess up it always reminds me of an explosion - a constant reminder of the energy you're containing throughout the string.

The bad news saddens me deeply. I don't know what to say. I barely believe in God and never pray for anyone but I almost seem inclined to now. Which is funny considering I don't even know you and this is "just a game". But I say it couldn't hurt and if we don't who will. I really hope the brace isn't too obtrusive for you.

It'll be a long two months, but I think you should definitely keep in touch with the community. Maybe kick your stitching up a notch, if theres a demand. I'll definitely be buying one from you within the next month or two.

Best wishes.

Man... that stuff is gonna be missed.

2 Months seems like a really long time, but I can't wait until you're back.

At least you'll be able to tear up NYJ.

That video is just ridiculous, one of my favorites now too.

You're the footbager that most surprised me. Nemesis - Nemesis... thats something that I hope to SEE some day

Thanks

Hold your feets in 2 months!!! It will be hard!

Thanks for posting this video David, the stuff you're hitting these days is ridiculously difficult and graceful. Needless to say I really enjoyed this video.

I'm very sorry to hear about that back problem you have, and I hope you will find something new to keep you busy during those two month!

BEST OF LUCK!

Sergey

Incredible. Do you know how big influence you have on some of us, footbaggers, Dave? On my Furious, Step Duck, Nuclear, shuffle, Whirrs... thanks to videos like this. Thanks to you, who share them. Thanks.

I hope to show you in person what I owe you, one day. Take care.

Wow, thank you so much for releasing this video. Sad to know that you will be likely spending less time on Modified, and making it a more pleasant place to go to.

I am not aware of your situation in it's entirety, however, I guess you can really polish up your Juggling skills in the spare time you'll have? I wouldn't imagine it would be to strenuous for spinning and impact, as you said in your blog...

Good luck,

Many of us were growing impatient to see some of the new shit you've been working on, but it's hard to enjoy under the impact of your recent hardship.

This video killed me. Athleticism to the point of artistry,imo.

You have truly mastered the sport of footbag as far as it has developed David, and it truly grieves me that you are injured

. Get well soon.

Meh, just another video of Bevier standing around with his hands on his hips.

Dave Da · Post by **Dave Da** » 09 Jul 2007 07:59

My man didnt die. He will be back. All athletes get hurt. As David always says that Footbag is a sport. He is an athlete and with all sports come complications. He will be back. He is " The David Clavens"

Your nemeses are too fast for my eye -- incredible.
