This video is merely to give some insight as to what can be done with 2 bags.
I hope it sparks some ideas in players to think about a footbag as a tool for creativity.

Like, the fact is few tricks in this video are hard. Yet nobody out there even attempts any of these. People complain that they'll never invent any tricks, while there are sooo many things that have never been done with multiple bags, or non shred-style in general.

That's cool if you guys found it entertaining as well. :)

I appreciate the effort you put in to this and I understand the goal of the video, but people not doing behind the neck delays with 2 footbags is the same reason they don't do pushup stalls.

It has nothing to do with creativity, It just doesn't look good.

Some of the stuff on your video IS creative, different, and thought-provoking. That's amazing, and it's great to document it. Most of it isn't though.

I'd love to see some more interesting ways of using 2 bags. And please, no 2 bag pushup stalls :)

I love this video. You're right Jorden, there's so much that could be done with 2 bags. You're just scratching the surface, especially when it comes to dexing while juggling and incorporating x-body. You've inspired me to keep practicing this stuff. I hope you keep pushing it too.

I agree completely. Jorden, so creative and so talented, but... I find alot of the more Hacky Sack (or "non-shred style") tricks are just awkward looking... It just doesn't flow.

I'm sure that you want both positive and negative feedback. I'm sorry to say that I am not a fan of the new Non-Shred Style. Creative, but...

Sorry, Jorden

I don't think that something fitting in with the flow of normal shred or not should be a limiting factor in ones pursuit of learning. If Jorden feels like exploring what else is possible with footbags then I think he should be encouraged. Whatever, of course he's not going to do a neck stall/mosher's tail (LOVED it btw) in the middle of some shred, but it's just neat to know that kind of thing is possible.

And who knows what this could lead to, keep it up Jorden!
