Loved it, amazing stuff. It'd be so cool to see you play in a circle with that Czech kid who uses sole stalls instead of clippers. The only thing I'd like to see are longer runs. Props on the flipsidedness of everything; very impressive given your unique tricks.

Thank you for the vid, I liked it a lot.

I love watching videos of you.
The double down dragons (especially the barflies) were so fun

The music was super cute too. It really fits the uniqueness of your game.
This is gonna be a rewatcher!

Yeah Adam, i've been waiting for you to throw another video up. Your dragons are looking way smoother.

I can't wait to kick with you guys again, but i honestly have no idea when i will be heading home again...

I always love seeing dragons. Though I will say that my favorite runs were the ones where it wasn't only dragons. I think dragon-only runs lull me into taking how cool they are for granted. If that makes any sense. I guess I'm saying, I'd love to see more runs that include both the more traditional tricks, and the dragon tricks interwoven. You clearly have the skill to do that.

my thoughts exactly. i think the dragonosii are slick, and the barflies were nasty, keep the vids coming!

I have lost my clipper crank and never really had too much of one in the first place, thats why i started doing dragons. I just feel that creating a style without clippers is key to branching footbag into a different light, much like the flapper guy and the toe to toe beasts.

Disappointing news... hope you're having a good time going down the slope.

I love your videos and am extremely envious of how smoothly you can link dragons, especially flipwalks back to back... Nice job, and thanks for another enjoyable video.

i think bob was referring to toe tricks more than clipper tricks. at least when i said i agree fully thats what i was talking about, a nice even mix between dragons and toes or whatever other surface you want, not necessarily clippers. personally i dont see any reason not to do dragons exclusively instead of clippers if its more comfortable, but combinations with toes to mix it up are key i think.

Just want to say that I think this video was a lot of fun to watch. I'm glad you periodically come up for air and treat us all to videos of your awesome dragonosity. Also, you always choose tasty music which is a big compliment coming from me because I can be a rock snob some times. This video inspired me to get off my ass and learn double-downs, I came pretty close to a few last night. But the bargons and pteradons just look way cooler than clipper double downs. Keep at it, these videos are getting better and better.

Dude please make more videos!

You rock Adam. I love that you try to keep it clipless. It's so much more badass that way haha.

Awesome!

I liked pretty much everthing I saw.

Loved that frist run just as much as anything else -- I enjoyed the smoothness and ease.

Loved the dragon-barfly-dragons. Those are super-cool.

Loved that last big string, the one that starts : pixie leg-over > doubleleg over > firefly > dragon osis... Was that Reverse Swirling Toe after that? Cool move ... cool way to link back to the toes.

Keep it up. Be open to the advise of others - take whichever suggestions that you like, but don't let anyone tell you what YOUR game NEEDS. You only need to listen to yourself. After all, nobody else out there ever would have suggested that you can basically entirely exclude clipper stalls from your game and yet still have a good variety of awesome cross-body moves to choose from, to link back-to-back, not even me, and yet look how far you've come without them, by just doing it your way.
