Best Crank In The History of Footbag?

Post by EoghanMcDowell »

I was getting to wondering. Now i know Vashek's got crazy crazy crank, but i was wondering, is there anybody else who's crank exceeds his? They don't have to be incredibly good, just someone that at some time played or plays footbag, and had and or has the best amount of crank ever.

Vojta from Czeck Republic?

He could hit Marius without spinning [all cleanliness issues aside].

Yeah if you have good crank torque moves aren't that hard without a spin, what is Marius?

Marius is spinning pdx torque.

I'm pretty sure that Vojta also invented the frigid osis atomic set (artic)..

Hmmm, frigid osis atomic isn't arctic. Arctic is Frigid Set Pixie, while Frigid Atomic is Frozen. Frigid pixie atomic (Frigid set sailing) is Helical. But yeah, thats pretty sick.

Brian McKenzie has an awesome crank.

Here are a couple of his videos from back in day:

Anyone know if Brian is still kicking? He's def. one of my favorites.

Hey,

I'll tell ya what, there's a big difference between "Best Crank" and "Most Crank".

For me, because I have always been a lazy player, my crank has been a strength that turned into a weakness... WAY too many osis bails, sloppy steps, etc etc.

Crank isn't all it's cranked up to be ;)

I vote Pengpeng or Vojta or maybe Takumi. Pengpeng is pretty extreme in the crank dept.
BRICK!

Moglum (same guy as Max is talking about I think?) and Brian McKenzie.
I remember a video of Moglum hitting frigid matador back in, like, 03, and it was so huge.

I haven't seen Brian Mckenzie kicking too much whenever he visits the NYFA crew. I've only seen him kick maybe once or twice over the Spring/Summer of last year.
