Rory's Journey

I had been practising 120 contact tiltless runs leading up to the event with about 0-3 drops per run. I think the actual routine length for the event was something like 70-80 contacts.

I won't be getting the video for a while, but here are some photos that my cousin took:

The fire performance was my favorite. The guy did a routine to a noyee (the same song jim penske used for his final routines at worlds this year).

Is it just a coincidence that the song that dude was beatboxing was in a footbag video?

Nice shorts.

Good job using a super visible red footbag for the demo. I thought everything you did was very easy to follow and understand, which is huge for a non-footbag audience. And of course, props on not dropping.

yeah Rory! That rocked! People seemed to really like your spinning toes both ways. Definitely stole the show.

I only had 15 minutes to film before the battery died. Here are some of the highlights from the session (only some made it on the vid):

whirl > spin clip > whirl > duck clip > rpt > string
drifter > drifter > spin clip > drifter > drifter > duck clip > rpt > string
[paradon > pdx mirage > rpt] x 2
whirl war 1
drifter war 1
pdx drifter > pdx dlo bsos in a string
flip ps whirl (new trick!)
smoke > drifter > pdx illusion > rpt

Feedback is welcome.

i dug the video. if you are looking to improve your drifter and whirl game, here are some drills i made that helped solidify my stepping out of the different components. you should give them a try!
my stepping-whirling drill:
-whirl> ripwalk> whirl> ripwalk> whirl> blur> toe whirl> blur> toe whirl> side walk> pdx whirl> sidewalk> pdx whirl (optional:> stepping whirl> blurry whirl>stepping whirl> blurry whirl)
my stepping drifter drill:
-drifter> stepping clipper> drifter> stepping clipper> drifter> stepping mirage> toe drifter> stepping mirage> toe drifter> ripwalk> pdx drifter> ripwalk> pdx drifter (optional: tombstone> blurry drifter> tombstone> blurry drifter (i've never completed the optional ending for this one... yet)

No, I don't think I'll be able to make it. I'm financially challenged.

I'm not sure who the artist is, but the song (red riot) is from the soundtrack of "Shogo-Mobile Armour Division" (great game).
