Ashley- November Shred

Post by ashleyd »

Hello. This is Vid 1 of my progress.

It's been so long since I've made a video. This is a video from two sessions. At first I thought I would have like a bunch of sessions that I would cut into one video, but thinking about it I'd rather make a bunch of these kinds of videos, covering two or three sessions. Idk, well see how it goes from here.

I know my pdx whirls look the(but i swear they werent), and the barrage is thin if not the.


Enjoy.

November Shred

Your butterfly's flow very well Ashley.
Ducking looked effortless, you should do it more!

I wish we had played together at worlds. :(

Thanks for the vid, hope to see more.
First think about how to practice or don't bother practicing.

Nice video. I liked a lot of your strings you hit outside. Did I see you dive something that ended on the other side? That was cool, and I didn't realize people could do that with diving. Cute cat, too...the world's first footbagging cat. :P

I really like your style, really. :P

Your infinities look great, so from that, I think you should do Infinity>PDX Mirage instead of far legover. PDX Mirage>PLO is also good, but harder. Far legover just looks so out of place in your (any guiltless player's) shred.

The barrage was the, I agree, but if you keep doing them they'll eventually get better.

You seemed to do osis>osis quite a bit, which imo doesn't look very good. osis>other bop is better.

Your whirls are fantastic, I really liked them. Very effortless and clean on almost all of them.

It looked like you have pretty good spinning, so incorporate that after a shuffle trick (or whirl).

Ummmm. More ducking maybe? Atomic! yeah, do atomic... anddd uhhh....

Hit Blurry Whirl, and Blender. :)

I dunno, all of this is my opinion and some people will disagree, but whatever.

Very good style on a lot of your tricks though, great video

Nice video Ashley.

Does everyone have a tabby cat? I have 2 of them and they look just like that.

My tabby kitten plays rubber ball, but after seeing this, I think I'll throw him a sack. :wink:
Go out and shred already.

I usually do spin a lot more, just not in this video. I agree with the osis stuff and far legovers.

My next vid ill try and incorporate more variety.(blenders, ducking, spinning)


thx for the style comments.

btw, i did hit a blurrywhirl in the vid.

Very nice ashley! I had a similar comment about the osis thing, but I don't think it is that big a deal and you're much better than I am so take it with a grain of salt. Also, don't put yourself down like that in the intro! Your style flows nicely and and you've accomplished plenty, so props for that.

Cool Ashley, prosps.
Your game is smooth, I like your ripwalks, blurry whirl was super. Ducking Butt looks very effortless. Don't listen to Zac, there is nothing wrong with osis>osis : P. Oooh! yes and the toe whirl ant the pixie whirl were very cool.
I also suggest working on drils like butt>pdx mirage>rpt.
and toe whirl>pdx mirage>rpt., oh yeah and..hmmm butt>pdx illusion>rpt.
something like this :)

You know you don't need help with your game. You are amazing at footbag. All you have to do is practice a LOT! You understand the difference between clean and the, you have the skills and the style, you just haven't wanted it bad enough yet. Maybe you do now.

As far as the video, I feel like you could have done better, although maybe its not good to make a first video in a series too good otherwise it will be hard to make the next ones better.. But random slomo's on paradox mirage and stuff... clips with nothing in it.... I know you are a good video editor so I feel you must have rushed through this vid.

No disses here, just facts.

Nacho is REALLY GOOD at footbag!! Dayyyuuuum!

Love,
Your X Boyfriend


edit: Ok heres some real advice. Remember to stretch your ankles before sessions so if you do roll it there will be less damage. Remember it is better to bail than roll your ankle. Remember the times we stretched together and how much better you felt. Remember that Nitro and Nacho need each other. Remember that there is more to the world than Lakeland, FL. Remember that you could be the best artist in the universe if you wanted it bad enough. Remember.
