Nice runs Zac and Tom!

It's been awhile since I've seen your shred, and even for not playing much, you still got it :wink:

I've been circle kicking for a year. I've been shreddin' with Qs for about two months.

Here's my and Sam(biter)'s takes from last nights session at the YMCA. He showed up right after I finished my work out so we had to play some footbag. I thought ahead and brought the camera.

I tried to be more both sided this time. Early drop though.

And here's Sam's video. He decided to take his after we got kicked out.

That drifter was very nice on the first one, but it looks like your shorts are pretty long how do they not catch the bag?

I usually wear shorter shorts, but I forgot to bring them to the Y with me.

Edit: I like how you stuffed the bag at the end of your run, Zac. Who knows how long that shred could have been with a camera that look longer videos? I used to think my phone only had 15 seconds, but I dug around the settings and changed it. Have you checked yours out?

Yeah, I've played relentlessly with the settings, I can't figure out how to make it longer. Kinda disappointing really, maybe I can convince my parents to just get a better camera. This one is way outdated anyways.

Here's mine for today, sorry for the bad lighting:

this is my first one...the video quality is absolute trash, but it has the added coolness factor of having been shot by a complete random stranger walking by with a cell phone. and it counts because i saw him start to film me so i knew i only had one shot :P

I was about to post after Dave's, but I opted against it.

Better than last time... a bit. One of these days, I'll luck out and make myself feel real good.

TOE BAIL!

Love seeing new faces in this thread.

Dave: nice PLO
Tom: nice ss LO
Zac: nice DLO
Ben: nice ELO

EDIT: damn it, it was Supertramp, not Electric Light Orchestra in Rawsko's clip. That close to being a good joke. :x

i'd post my 1 shot stephen barnes, but every time i look at the camera and say, 1 shot, i start with a few toes to get rhythm and drop it...
imo at my skill level, toes are still legit, so dropping a toe counts.


and damn zac! u play every day? i'm surprised u don't injure urself. half the time i play i pull something, ... such as right now, i'm taking it easy cuz i pulled my right iliacus.

keep up the good work everybody! nice to see consistency in ur game!

Assuming everyone is truthul in this thread, I think it's one of the best ever and it should be stickied.

My reasoning is that instead of fancy edited videos that show just the best of the best strings, it is a true scale of ones ability, not only in just playing footbag but also how well one peforms under pressure. I think some really good players drop prematurly because of nerves or the pressure to hit a long string. Basically what I am saying is is that it's a very good test. Thanks for creating it. I'll try to contribute soon.
