hey man really cool video. I liked the scenes and the music wasn't bad at all. Kind of in between classes right now so I'm rushed for comments. I'll edit this later with more depth but at least I'll give you some ups:

always been impressed with how quickly you learned double downs on both sides. Real nice.

use of pixie muted clipper. . stylie

good control of your arms I see

you hit hard tricks like ripstein and tripwalk midstring like you've been doing them for 4 years. Just ooze confidence.

oh but one thing I'd like to say about your atomics real quick

I've heard it called automatic tapdown tendencies with atomic sets where there's an issue of leaning too far over the bag after the set and off to the side a little, as if your body is in the position of just laying into a tapdown right off the bat. Keeping a straight-ish posture deals with this. And maybe the ol' twist of the hips in some way. I'm still trying to correct this in my own game so I can't really give TOO much advice. But maybe others will

hm. This seems okay but if I'm sure I'll watch this again and if I see anything else I'll tell you. But all in all a fine piece of footbag footage.

I watched the vid.I liked it.

Run with blurriest bsos was cool, that wonton clip or was it just quantum was cool too.

props on smog>dimmiest, nice link!

I'd say step it up more,clean up your ducks and start drilling flip ripstein

.

Props Zac!

Nice song too, i enjoyed it.

solid video zac. your style is reallydeveloping well. Liked seeing lots of stuff that you hadn't done a lot before (drifters, swirling mirage was sweet.)

i enjoyed it

cool vid. i liked the different locations, which always makes tripod footage more interesting to watch. I think you need to give your out to in dexes some more work, as nearly all your double downs were the, toey at best. Same with illusions, alot were heely, but i think this is because you do them leggy style. i liked the good mix of tricks in there. Some unusual ones too. i dig the swirling mirage, very cool. looks like you've made some nice progress since worlds!

Dude Miley lookin' good. While I agree there was some slop (as ATG mentions above) here and there your game looks a lot better than it did. Much more bothsided than I remember at worlds.

You hit the BAP drill very clean IMO, and that triple-triple was gnarly

. All these drifters mid-run, I am pretty jealous. I gotta school those.

I'm glad to see you're starting to do more spinning and ducking, they're fun concepts

Keep it up.

I am most impressed by how you utilize tricks, not, exactly repeditively. You use bops / similar tricks in a non-repetitive fashion, which makes your runs that much more interesting.

Anti-Dangle?

Don't fear whirls. You have mastered dozens of tricks to the point of hitting consistent 15+ contact runs, something many footbaggers have not, and it could only open up your game that much more...

I hope we can both make it to GRASS, it'll be nice to kick with you again.

Thanks for the video.

Anti-dangle. Haha.

I'm in the process of learning whirls - I can do them fairly easy on my strong but I feel like a dickwad when I do, because I they're always the on my flip. I'm fixing it - they'll be in the next vid.

Thanks everyone for the comments, especially those who gave critiques (especially Andrew, I'll get to work on my double downs)

Yeah, the symp slapping clipper was so styley. So cool.
This video was really fun. The music was nice and chill. The different shots and locations mixed it up nicely. The bothsidedness was really, really refreshing and entertaining. The flip double downs look solid. And flip pixie stuff in there too.

The hair cut is intense too.
I'll have to watch the bonus video later.
