Take a look

Post by Kljopa »

I cant exactly point out clearly what i want to say... But try to understand this.


Im into b-boying, im sure everyone knows what a b-boy means.Well i've been thinking recently.Like b-boying is worldwide spread with tons, i mean TONS of people breakin.Ofcourse it has a bit more than footbag( i mean hip-hop).

But like we could learn one thing, like its done to music that what makes it good and actually TONS of breakbeats are good to shred to, if only people shreded it up to music, hitting the beats (Fuck the guiltless shit, a run with tiltls done to music would look much cooler) , developing style and just doing it in public places with a nice music center, circling.Thats the first point.

The second point, i was wathcing some old videos.When did it happen that people started choosing smaller and smaller bags? Where the bigger floppy bags with funky colours? The bags are soo small like its hard to see even for a footbaggers eyes who wasted a month of his life for sure just watching videos.

Music,style and visibility. This is the key to blowing footbag up.



Its all my opinion, go ahead and flame me if you want to :P.

I agree with you completely on this. Especially with the big bags deal. I still love playing with a good old Sandmaster. I actually like big bags better, i think they're more fun to play with.

Woke up. A bit more thoughts.

Freezes.Fuck we do have them, deadcontact moves, they are awesome, like a symple swirl on dead contact, walkover ) watch on someone with a smile then bust some shit :).

And if just playing to breakbeats people would assosiate it with b-boying and everyone thinks that b-boying is cool.

Freeze stalls are a great thing for Demonstrations and busking.

I don't know what b-boying means, but I disagree with tiltless looking cool, which it just does not. Tiltless play wouldn't have me caught to footbag nor most of the other footbaggers I guess.

some people just like smaller bags.. They might find them easier to play with versus a bigger bag. I know i feel this way.

Couldn't agree with you more Aleksei. :)

Smaller bags are strictly for the enjoyment of the player that's playing. If you're ever doing anything that involves other people watching you, use a bigger, brighter or textured (i.e. spiky) bag.

Definitely.

I dont mean pure tiltless, i mean with tiltless bails sometimes.You got me wrong there.


Another thing.Breaking wouldnot be there if it was wasnt for battles.

I thought what if there were footbag battles, sort of 4 on 4 crews against each other.

Doing synhronized links together, just busting phat combos, there possibilities of doing things look cool are endless.
