I made a short video from a solo session a while ago, and thought I would share it, comments and critique would be appreciated.

Im still workin towards going guiltless, but I feel theres still a long way..
I think the vortex in the end is not clean, but I was so happy I hit it':)

Really great! You're game looks so easy! Careful on the edge of those mats, no twisted ankles! Vortex could be deeper, but it was definitely there. I loved pickup>pixie clip and the consecutive rakes.

Nice pacing / song / black&white, this is a very nice video, thanks!

Nice video.

Don't worry about guiltless for a while, keep working on making your strings totally toe stall free first. Work on getting real long consistent tiltless strings with all the tricks you have.

Looking good!

Thanks for the video. Vortex looked fine to me. My only advice is to work on bringing your left toe up to speed with your right toe, and to eliminate random toe stalls in your game. Otherwise, I feel you are progressing well.

Very nice video. How long have you been playing?

Toe Grifter looked pretty good, I was surprised. Vortex was good as well.

During strings you seem to bail to far legover a lot. Maybe switch it up with Near Mirage a couple times, far legover can get a bit boring. Also, start using it on your flipside after ripwalk and stuff.

hey thats great with some usefull comments from all of you. Thanks guys. It can really help sort out the game alot, with good quality replies like yours!

I started playin footbag about a 1 and 7 months ago..had a slow start, then a lot of practice and got really hoocked on this fantastic game, still love it, but don't play as often as I wished..still watch videos here from modified everyday

Im the only freestyle footbagger in this city, so it makes it harder to really progress I think.
But thats why modified is such a great site!!:)

Great rakes! And vortex was ill! I've been playing as long as you I can barely do rakes or drifters at all. I also like how you threw some illusions (they were deep and clean) and spinning clips in those runs.

I agree with Tom. Main thing would be to get rid of the toe bails. Create a challenge thread and ask for tiltless and low-end guiltless challenges.

Clipper > Pickup > Mirage > Legover > Illusion > RPT

is one of my fave tiltless drills. I didn't see a lot of flip clipper in this, so drills that drill flip clipper will probably help you out... although that first pdx whirl was with flip clipper?

Props to you for making a video and asking for critiques, it's not always easy get feedback. Keep shreddin'
