Footbag Session 04/27/08

Post by EoghanMcDowell »

After not being able to make a video while playing with Cale today, i decided to go ahead and make one for myself. Cale, next time we play, I'm totally filming, whether you like it or not. Anyways, hope you enjoy the video. I'm sad i forgot to put in a bunch of stuff, put thats just the way the cookie crumbles eh. This is my first real shred video i have made after getting my firewire card. If you've ever seen one of my older videos, you'll notice a jump in quality for sure, and not just shred wise :wink:

P.S: yes, the last trick is pretty thin, and the camera angle doesn't help much either.

I thought the camera angle was perfect for tracking cleanliness on the last trick, you just the'd it. ;) Hard trick though, looks like you can hit it pretty easily.

Your style is coming on, especially on toe moves. Whenever you go to clipper you seem to really slow down though, I don't know what's up.

I liked the vid though, definitely shows progress. Nice fairies.

Your double downs don't really look like double downs, they're way too slow. Check out Penske's since you have similar ankles and such.

Nice string length.

hey buddy,

nice video!! I like how your style is developing. I like your fairy sets a lot. I thought that last move looked good, props.

how tall are you? for some reason I picture you as being about as tall as cale but I'm not sure after that video.
BRICK!

Cale is way taller then me. I'm around 5'10"/11" Though i haven't checked in a while, but yeah.

Zac: I don't know whats going on with my clipper game, it's probably just because i don't do much clipper shuffle.

(EDIT) Regarding Double Downs. The reason they look so slow is because I'm doing them mid-time, and not setting really high. I'll study how Penske does them, but i think it'll be a while before i start throwing them consistently.

Si. Peaktime double downs don't look good.

Try to emphasize dexing the bag on your infinities, by turning into and bring your knee high and over the bag. It seems like your just allowing the set to sort of just fall through and on to your clipper which is working cause of your insane crank. Your posture for the trick looks good, but move yourself around the bag with straight up and down sets.

You've gotten al ot better since san diego, keep it up.

Abe, thanks for that infinity advice! Now i know why i could never step out of infinity very well before. Expect to see more of me in the coming months. I hope i can make it to US Open.

Keep the comments coming (If you have anything to say, of course)

wow! so much progress! I'm jealous. Wicked fairy sets too... those look really good. I think you should pay attention to your clipper form some more though. You have killer crank, so your ankles look super cool and efficient, but I think it's your knee position for alot of your clipper stuff that makes your stlye look more awkward than in your toe-game. Watch lots of Vasek videos and make sure that you've got your clipper foot far enough away (and in the right direction) from your support leg. It'll make your game look smoother and make your sets more efficient. ...I'm still working on mine. It's effin hard...

Huge props though! It looks like you're headed in the right direction.
