The first little interview with Yamashita discusses the history of footbag, briefly, and how footbag bag and soccer are different.
Then it shows some highlights from the tourney, then an interview with me, where I talk about starting from the very basics in order to improve, and then what footbag does for me (it gives me a way to revive myself, or in other words, an escape from the world)
enjoy,

hey great job tj!
cool stuff!
its so funny cause all the japanese guys, when they explain it to people, they just say its noseru stalling, but when you were explaining to them, you were saying kicks, like from the basics up you do kicks. its kind of a conflicting image, not that anyone would be paying that much attention. if they were watching it. but like jyun for example always wantss to teach ppl a toe stall then an around the world is the next trick up - like dondake~
also if you drop in the middle of showing them somethign like that, you may as well make them film it again, they have alot of tape after all. but so many props to them for caputing both the smooth routine stuff and the explosive kenzo and yusuke big threes, i was so surprised and excited when yusuke hit that, it was like out of no where, he was seriously never going to hit that last p tourque, he usually dropped that same pdx whirl every time i played with him. it was nuts
omg takumi got like an off balance symp whirl and thats it! oh well. oh yeh and like what is this oh my news
lol thats so jap ~ just hillarious i bet no one gets how hilarious that english is
once again though, great job! really nice story, lots of nice things

Ha! Hey Dan!
Yeah, I think everything you said in that post I was thinking as well. USK never hitting that, how Takumi only got an unbalanced symp whirl, Kenzo's big 3...
I should have had them retape that run, or, just told them to edit out that part, but hey, I wasn't really thinking too much after that; so much stress from JFC, and the 'hard work' I put in towards my routine paid off, and I was pretty much just chilling out. Oh well. Hope everythings well with you.
Love,
snuggles
PS, sorry for not posting your special guest routine with the rest of the videos. Ill do it now.
