Found this tonight and thought it was cool. Might be a good thing to show non-footbaggers, as there are close ups, the bag is visible, and Dave presents the sport in a good light. Good diversity of shots too. My only complaints are minor: some shots should have been shot in better light, some slow-mo would have helped a lot, and the music isn't as well synched up as it should be. But yeah, overall very good presentation of footbag.
really awesome video, the only thing i didnt like is how it says he is number 1 in the U.S.A. in the description, when in fact we all know that Jim is currently #1, really good video though, very informational, its something i would show someone who wanted to know exactly what freestyle footbag is like.

Dave said he was #1 in the country in 2006, which he was because he won the US Open that year but yeah I guess the person who 'tubed it didn't get that part. He's probably not a footbagger so he didn't catch that.
I like this vid for the same reasons Ken mentioned, it seems like it was probably made as a school project by one of Dave's college friends. Thus the somewhat low quality production.

nice big visible bag.
i really liked this video.
good points. good subtle editing with good variation.
i liked the idea of taking out your favorite trick. and give it some extra time.
I could see a series of videos by David being very beneficial to novice players like myself. Not only because of his skills with a bag, but his ability to express the sport verbally.
great vid dave! i think you did a very good job explaining the different aspects of the sport and what makes it unique from others. i also liked how you explained some of the reasons why you like kicking. I'll be showing this to people, no question!
