may i give you some tips to make your game look a little smoother?

- if you can, slow down just a bit... i think a smoother looking style would suit you.

- you do something alot of players often do whe ndoing illusions... your arms fly up and backwards. i think this is somewhat of a style killer, so if you can learn to control your arms, i think you will greatly benefit from it.

- with ducks, drill getting nice, high sets. ducks are less impressive to me when there is a low set an a really slouchy/hunchback duck is needed to clear. ideally, look how lon does ducks; only his head moves. we cant all do it that way, but not moving much other than your head looks really styley.

it sounds like we have been playing around the same amount of time, and it also looks like you have a great game and trick repertoire. keep it up, and ignore rude posts. =]

I love how you're opening up your game with new moves all the time. I'm looking forward to playing again; I hope you and some other TO people can make it down for a thursday or a sunday session.

The DATWs were sweet. Can you do them out to in?

Sweet video. I like your style, although I essentially agree with everything Cale said about your form. Music next time though. When I didn't hear sound, I thought that my speakers died

I can hit spinning clip, but I am not very good at it. I'll try to get some spinning in my next video.

I hope so too! Maybe something can be arranged soon.

BuckRuckus wrote: The DATWs were sweet. Can you do them out to in?

Yes, but not as consistently..

I have been working on controlling my arms and cleaning up my ducking since this video was made, hopefully my next video will show improvements in these respects.

I usually put my own music on when I am watching a shred vid with no music.. I guess I just assumed that's what other people would do as well =/
The next one will have music.

Can you lick my sack?

Oh yes, the maturity level of Andrew Langstaff is astounding.

And, to demonstrate, he has prepared yet another retard-esque-random-picture-response for the enjoyment of none.

Tata.

Cassy you're so good!

... and you guys wonder why so few girls shred

Psilocybe · Post by **Psilocybe** » 09 Jul 2008 17:40

Does asking someone to do an ass stall count as harassment?

(maybe more, I stopped looking) Also the least amount of views! Yes! I've been playing just as long as you too. Nothing personal, but fuck y'all! I hate modified. Seriously.

Give that guy an Oscar

I second that.

Except for those seated in the "Decent Dudes" section.
("Decent Dudes section" being reserved for those who don't instantly see "sex",
but rather "footbag prowess" when they watch a video of my girlfriend footbagging on the internet.)

any chance a mod can just delete all the posts in this topic that don't pertain to the cool footbag vid this thread was intended to showcase?

On that note: I enjoyed the vid, thought the camera work and scenes were cool. Style is already pretty flowy and I think as your rhythm becomes more natural it's going to be a very pleasing style to watch. I noticed 1 weak pixie late in vid, so I suspect you're working on that and will throw it in along with your other side that's already strong. Weak toe catch/set sometimes looked akward - just a strange release angle, does it feel a little off to you at all? The ducks I saw were nice and deep on the neck. Someone else already mentioned about spins, and I agree those would be nice. Cool whirls near the end.

Hope this helps

I hope certain portions of the crowd don't make you not want to post vids. Male/female doesn't matter in this sport - just check the skill level of some of the top female players in the world for proof positive that anyone can be awesome.

No we don't. Nice moves, throw some tunes over it next time to keep it even fresher!

mc · Post by mc » 10 Jul 2008 13:43

ya. we don't wonder at all. we just shake our heads and wish it was different.

it sucks, but boys will be boys, and I'm not saying that because I think it's right, I'm saying that because I think it's the truth.

Girls around the age of young male footbaggers have to deal with this kind of thing all the time, but they're usually not so outnumbered by stupidity.

However, i think stupid jerk guys are outnumbered by decent guys in footbag. unfortunately, the stupid jerks have big mouths and tend to do a lot more talking than the decent guys.

Cass · Post by **Cass** » 10 Jul 2008 14:10

I don't care to be one of the best female shredders in the world.. I intend to be one of the best period

It sucks that there's such a double standard, but when females are outnumbered in this community by at least 10 to 1 it's not surprising.

Yeah, sure, getting 25 responses to a small vid like this is nice, but it's not as much fun as you might think being singled out, gawked at, and being given undeserved props purely because of my gender. (lots of people don't do this, but way too many do)

and ftr yes I can do a breast stall. Will you ever witness it? not likely.
