you could either:
:arrow: split the file into parts
:arrow: decrease the resolution to half of what it comes out of the camera, try not to drop the framerate if possible.

I played with you a few times at words, you improved alot. World is rough because its so long, and theres always people kicking with fresher legs than you feel like you have. Just have fun, dont compare yourself to others, or try to shred like the masses. Come to Chicago to NYJ this year - its fun :)

Yeah, I think I will come to NYJ as long as I am still welcome. ( I understand that I may not be welcome anymore, and I would not blame anyone if that were the case )

Don't make modified threads more important than they are (not very). Of course you'd be welcome at NYJ.

Hey Paul,

If you keep playing footbag (heck, even if you don't) the footbag community will always welcome you. I can't think of anyone that the community reeaaally dislikes. If you're not a jerk you're generally welcome.

And you don't seem like a jerk so stick with it.

Also, it seems like you inspired lots of people, you've inspired me too. I feel like I'm not trying hard enough or something.


I think if you keep playing footbag someday you will look back and realise that was the best decision you ever made. :)

hour and a half session:

osis>osis
several tap's
far osis bs
paradox mirage bsos
blender bs
dyno strongside
REVERSE WHIRL bs
smp whirl bs
pixie ss clip
pixie clipper
dun dun dun duhhhhhhh dun DUN!!!! -----> BARRAGE X 2 (stepping quantum)

Since the above tricks were hit this morning
Another session should produce more new tricks
Yes it should, or at least improve on strings or consistency

Now, what I am attempting to do here is have fun with seriousness
Otherwise seriousness can have negative emotions eat your insides out

The fact of the matter has already been stated.
Offer your attention to truth, it always stays the same.

Day after day facts are changed, but truth remains the same
Require of yourself discipline to wisdom and understanding
Unslave your mind from the lies produced against humanity
Get free from the bondage of falsehood
Save yourself from this untoward generation

maybe I am wrong about barrage being stepping quantum, quantum is a new concept for me that I thought I understood. its like, mirage set right?

so I do a stepping set, then mirage it again during uptime/peaktime, then toe stall it. barrage right?

anyway, 2nd session today..... oh yeah baby, im stepping it up.

toe set ducking osis bs
ducking legover bs
blurry pickup bs
schmoe bs
paradox whirl bs
clip set dlo
dun dun dun!!!!----> tapdown.

video tape it.

its deff not barrage.

but tape it anyway. quantum has a very unique look. its probably just a blur or a steppping miraging toe stall.


barrage is just clip set the quick dex dex with the opp foot the toe stall on opp foot
