Rate My Crank! (But you don't have to if you don't want to)

Heres the thing. I've had countless people tell me my ankle crank is abnormal, meaning really really good. It even earned me a nickname up in Eugene. Now i want to know from the whole footbag community if it's true or not. I've only ever seen a handful of footbag ankles, and i really can't tell the difference, except for when the difference is drastic, then it's hard not to notice. But yeah, what do you guys think? Do i have sick crank, or crappy crank. All these pics are clipper delays, and one frozen osis. Sorry about picture quality. I'm thinking I'll try to get a new camera for Christmas, one that can actually film in man made lighten areas.

Well?

Looks pretty good, but hard to tell from those pictures. You need one where we can see how low to the ground your clipper stall is, and with your support leg as straight as possible. The guys at Eugene seem pretty switched on, if they say you've got great ankle crank then I'd be confident that you do.

I'm guessing that picture on the wall says "Golden Eagle" or did you spell "egg" wrong?

Looks good, but judging by your clipper crank, your osis should/could be better than that.
Action shots or full body shots would be better.

Lol Jeremy, thats my sisters "Project" she did at school on eagles. But yeah i agree with you both. I just did these like at 11:00 with a crappy camera in crappy lighting conditions. I'll try to get better pics up soon. My osis is pretty good i think. I can consistently get 10 consecutive osii switching feet, and i usually cushion it pretty deem. I'll try and see what i can do tomorrow, but I'm pretty sick right now. Anyone got any remedies for super duper painful earaches?

those are pretty rad shorts... or are they boxers? lol

i agree about the osis part

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 12 Nov 2007 09:20

They're kinda both, i love shredding in boxers, now only if they weren't a little revealing...well, i got two new pics i just took, now that theres daylight the camera will work well. I took Jeremy's advice and did a clipper with a perfectly straight leg. So here it is

The next one is a lower clipper, but because of that only half the shoe is in the shot, I'll post it anyway though, because i thought it was ok.

Now that i got some new pics, what are your thoughts?

Zeke · Post by **Zeke** » 12 Nov 2007 09:35

On a scale from 1-10 (1 being little to no crank and 10 being the most insane crank I've ever seen in person = Brian McKenzie), I would rank these pics at 4.

Your crank is above average, I watched some of your vids on youtube a couple days ago.

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 12 Nov 2007 09:57

Yeah those are the only two footbag videos I've ever made. I barely bail to clipper in those videos, which is why i want to make a new one, I;m so much better then in those videos, I've improved a lot. I actually use the clipper stall, and I'm much more light footed. In fact If i feel any better I'll try and make one today, peace out home G's.

All this talk about crank lately...

Rate mine and I'll rate yours (who ever posts next. I'm so bored...)

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 11 Feb 2008 08:27

This thread is so old, but anyway, yeah, I'd give you an 8 or 9 based on those picturee. But it looks like your sitting against a wall, which would make you able to but more flatness into your clipper. Either your sitting against a wall, or your about to fall over. But whatever, gotta go.

Zeke · Post by **Zeke** » 11 Feb 2008 08:41

Whoa, 8 or 9 really? Hehe, I don't remember the circumstances in which this pic was taken. That reminds me though, where that pic of Peng sitting on the floor with the outsides of her feet touching together and the soles facing straight up? That was insane!

Got any new crank pics, Eoghan? Post when you get the time.

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 11 Feb 2008 08:53

Decent crank, Yogan.

Awesome crank, Zeke.

Pengpeng's crank is unbelievable - I know what you're talking about Zeke!

quadgun · Post by **quadgun** » 11 Feb 2008 10:52

Scott D has some good crank too ... I've seen him do that thing that Zeke mentioned Peng doing.

calemccoy · Post by **calemccoy** » 11 Feb 2008 15:06

okay, i NEED to see that pengpeng crank picture.... please someone link.

Davidson has badasss crank. He can do cross body soles stalls in front of him(if that makes sense).

I found the link, but I think it's broken.

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 11 Feb 2008 23:01

Well, here are some pics of my frigid osis, this is what it looks like when i stall it, i didn't put the bag on my foot. But anyway, here they are, i think they represent my crank much better then the first pics i posted.

Flip Side

So, what do ya think?

Zeb Jackson · Post by **Zeb Jackson** » 11 Feb 2008 23:50

do you really need this, who cares if you have good crank/bad crank, whats it going to affect? All this thread is too me is you trying to call attention to yourself. Ill rate your crank for you

stop posting bullcrap/10

edit: and learn to spell Vasek

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 11 Feb 2008 23:58

Oh well, i guess Zeb's got a point, but the previous pictures i posted because i got this question. "Got any new crank pics, Eoghan?" from Zeke, so i was just posting what i had. Besides, i made this thread in November, and i had no intention of ever posting in it again until someone revived it a couple days ago. But it really doesn't matter, as you said Zeb, it won't really effect anything in the long run.
