Good video, the dragon really surprised me. I also like the butterfly>whirl drill you did towards the end. Your bops are looking good as well. On another note, you said you fixed the skip in the video? i experienced a bit of it, just not as much as in your other vids. But yeah, still, good stuff. Liked the song. Don't stop improving.

I thought the quality was fine and I didn't have any skips after the first second. It was good to see a new video from you. I already talked with you about this on AIM, but you've been working hard, good job. :-)

WOW...I don't know what to say, you've gotten a ton better! Your string lengths are longer, your style and form are sharper.

The clipper>flapper>clipper>dragon>clipper was amazing, I can't do that. The whirl bsos was also really impressive. Your infinities, back to back osis, you're really sticking with footbag and it shows.

That clipper>ss pickup>rpt drill, and the other variations are what my entire game was based on when I was learning, keep those up and work towards butter>pdx mirage>rpt.

I'm honestly super impressed. Keep going!!

Thanks everybody. :D I've been playing for about 5 years, Maraxus. And I had a little break for practically two of those years.

I really really hate Maroon 5.

Great legovers though, much better than before!

Heh, sorry. I've been liking them lately. They used to not really spark my interest.

Hey!

Wow, dig the video. I'm pretty impressed with your whirls they look pretty drilled. How many can you do in a row? I think you mentioned you could do swirl in one of your posts. Can you do both sides?

Any tips on whirl? I haven't hit it yet but but I'm super close and I hit Dino no problem yesterday to try and help me understand it better. It's like my brain just doesn't like whirls. How long did it take you to get it down?

We should stay in touch, I just got shoes a month and a half ago and you seem like someone I should talk to, I love the videos by the way. ;)

I can hit swirl both sides. I actually just hit strongside swirls three in a row on video, but I cut it out to not make the video so long. I also just recently hit rev. swirls each side.

Uh, whirls in a row? I never really tried that. I could probably hit atleast 2 to be safe. I'll give it a shot next time.

I don't know if I am the best to go to for advice on whirls. I know I have heard people say to do the dex below the knee. Also, I noticed it is easier to hit it when you bring your dexing leg up off the ground as soon as you set the bag and dex it uptime, right everyone? Hope that helps. If not, check the trick tips section.
