Australia's Finest

King Monkey · Post by **King Monkey** » 22 Jul 2007 00:45

Well i said a while ago i wouldnt post videos here anymore because there was some big backlash against edited videos. But whatever.

This is a snapshot of Australia's top freestylers - Dan Ednie, Jeremy O'Wheel and Alex Urano. Footage was shot at Australian National Championships in January this year, Hobart, Tasmania.

Approx. 7min long, Encoded in DivX, though there are some points where compression looks shitty and blocky IMO, must be some problems with my workflow.

Enjoy!

Where you at, Kamil?

Nice intro very stylish...the editing was pretty good and you had some nice small cuts that worked really good! The quality of the video made it really enjoyable to watch! The shred was brilliant nice to see some more stuff from down under! Thanks for the video and big props for making it!

It was really good to see footage of these guys since none of them ever put out videos of themselves. In fact the only Dan Ednie footage I have seen was of routines, so it was cool to see him really busting full force.

Thanks for making this.

Nice Ian! Great video, good to see footage of Alex again, even though it is old.

Always good to see the O'Wheely playin, and dan is soo good.

Good editing also, i suck at editing so i'm not gonna critique

I totally loved this video, perfect editing and choice of music, everything flow very well. No comment on the shred, I was impressed by every player especially by Dan who is soooo good. Great video, going to watch it again and again.

I just want to say PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep making videos like this and posting them here, we love them. Sometimes editing gets in the way if the people arent very experienced at it but when someone good does it is makes the video excellent.

Awesome talent. Awesome video.

thanks a lot

That was really, really cool! Made me want to play. Looks like you guys were getting a lot of attention from onlookers.

I love the effect at 5:35.

Thoroughly enjoyed. I've said it a bunch of times, but Jeremy's game is awesome. Barfly > muted furious clip made me OOOOH.

I love those pixie sets (J and A) that lift the support foot off the ground. I wish I were as light on my feet.

Well done, enjoyed all of it. Good mix of styles, perfect balance of editing. I wish you were going to worlds so you could make dope videos of it. (and play, of course)

Great video, Ian. Thanks for making it.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 03 Aug 2007 09:30

Awesome video Ian, thanks!

It's great to see nice high quality footage (in terms of video quality). Also nice to see some good footbag footage from Australia. There were some great runs in there. I thought my combo of beta blur>pixie ingyro mirage was my favourite (also because it was a massive regulation as I recall; somebody was trying pixie ingyro mirage, and didn't realise they were in a circle with as big a c*nt as me

- fatality).

It's great to see you pimping aussie hip hop as well.

I've felt a lot like web 2.0 has killed quality footbag vids, so it's great to see that there are still a few getting made. Maybe it's not that they're any less common, it's just that now you have to trawl through so much not so quality to find the quality ones.

Anyway great work, thanks champ!
