I don't know what kind of reaction to expect, so I won't expect one. It's a little bit different than the last one. This was mostly from a session I had with Zach Forth who came down from London this weekend to hang out. There will be a video of him online tonight hopefully. Thanks for coming Zach!

I appreciate all the comments from the last video! I didn't really consider it groundbreaking at all but I wanted to share my attempt of documenting my footbag game with everyone.

Your introduction editing, or, film putting together, was really nifty. It made me feel good anyway.

I definitely liked this video alot, the one string in the middle (wow, wasn't that descriptive) really was my favourite.

1:26 was really very sneaky. I think you tricked the bag into doing what you wanted it to do very well.

For some reason the gyro butterfly at 3:06 looked really, really good to me.

We're so lucky to get so many Johnny videos

Booooooooooring!

Yaaaaawn!

This is the saaaame boring crap that you see in every footbag video evar!

Maybe do some blurry whirls and I'd respect your game.

Just playing! Johnny FTW!

I just like to watch it, i really do.

There were a few moments in the video that got me by surprise, i wont talk about them though.

Still my favorite style.

Thanks for these vids, Johnny.

thats cool as fuck man .....can u do that with a soccer ball?

great first comment

i really liked this video, much better than the other one actually. while the other was incredibly smooth, it seemed as if you were toning down your shred the whole time. in this one you still kept good form on everything, but the shred was more intense, and you were breaking out of your style habit more - to then return back to it - but these little breaks between the rythm did it for me. i hope that made sense. props anyhow!

ps: i didn't understand the ducking toe stalls though.

I feel my comments are useless... there's some kind of simplicity in your game, minimalism that makes it beautiful to me. Even Butterflies are special. Love your tricks choice. IDK, it just clicks in my head, I can watch it over and over, and everytime feel like the first time. So the only thing I can ask you - please don't stop making videos regularly!

it was great to see some classic johnny powerhouse hugeness after that smooth style video last week. Thanks for this. Loved the bothsided muted nuke, that flurry, and the last run with the legeater move. Very nice, thanks johnny. glad to see regular video of you lately. can we get a full symp alpine reactor in the next vid?

I pretty much had the same reactions as I did to the first video, though I thought the first video was more styly and this one was more shreddy.

1. Thank you for putting out vids. They're not the easiest thing to make, but lots of people (like me) really appreciate them. It's like a portal that lets me see what other shredders are busting. Keep em coming.

2. With this vid and the last one, I find it hard to get excited about "editing," since the whole video is shot from the same tripod angle, and it's not exactly set to the music. When I see these videos, I assume that the goal is to show your game, and not your editing abilities. I just get confused when people compliment "editing" in this kind of vid.

3. Your style is excellent. Things flow well and look easy. You should be proud of your style.

4. I would like to see some longer runs from you. I feel like your style starts to hypnotize me, but then the drop comes too soon. Maybe this is a conscious choice on your part, but it's just something I'd like to see.

5. You're good enough that other people's reactions to your vids shouldn't faze you. Make vids for yourself, put em out there, and if people like them, great. If not, also great. Everybody has opinions, and none of them are necessarily right or worth anything. If you can take something from criticism, then do it. But don't sweat opinions too much.

I hope you continue to make vids, because I really enjoy them. Shred on Johnny.

This video got me PUMPED for todays sessions.

What makes me happy is what Mosher said.

It's not the same, "Im going to hit blurry whirl a bunch of times with some other "fancy" (a.k.a- BORING) moves and you will be impressed.", type of video. it's like a..., "I'm Johnny Suderman and I'm awesome.", type of video.

I'm curious as to how "good" you have to be to reach this point, Ken. Please share because I'd sure as hell like to get there.

watching run ~3:36 for some moves noticed you stand on your heels, that's your enemy!

wow, amazing shred, so inspiring. BSOS everything, and such a relaxed nuclear set, and fairy. You are, in my eyes the most talented at those sets.

Keep it up Johnny, and more vids please.

Rieferman · Post by **Rieferman** » 18 Feb 2008 10:28

Johnny, I'd agree with you on the 'ground breaking' comment, but that's not a diss in any way. Your vid from a few days ago is one of my favorites for the year, not because of ground breaking combos or brand new tricks, but because the way you play is so nice to watch.

This vid ramped up the difficulty and was still just as nice to watch, and I thought that was cool as hell. I kept wishing for a run with single leg double dexes back to back for some reason (like double pickup > double switch > toe barrage > paradon etc.). There's a fun challenge for you

You know it's good when my wife will watch it and enjoy it.

Great EDITING!! LOL!

Good stuff Johnny!

Ners · Post by **Ners** » 19 Feb 2008 02:33

I liked it a lot! The music fit nicely, and some stuff looked very fresh (I dig the toe Ducking, Fairy DLOs and also liked the downtime rpt run with Rev Whirls, Whirls and Drifters

)

Great video Johnny! The music was nice. The scenery made me feel like I was there sitting in the room watching you. Your style is so unique. You hit some amazing moves and combinations, some of which I had to rewind and see again to believe it.

Thank you for putting out this video and for pushing yourself to get this good. Keep it going.

Peace.

Furious pickup>fairy double down was very cool.
