This is the first Syracuse Footbag Alliance video, enjoy it.
Comment on the shred or the filming or both.
It was my girlfriends first time filming and she's open to comments so feel free to say what you want.
Sorry it has to be youtube but it wouldnt upload anywhere else so the quality had to go down a notch.

chris is right, the video could probably be better in all those respects.
Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed it exactly as it is. It looked like a really fun sesh, and I wish I could have been there for it myself!!
I liked ian's weird reverse whirl moves, ben's tripless links, pat's big moves (and smoke late in the string!), and doug's quantum.
hope to see you guys making more vids! keep the shred on!

Okay, yea, im so sorry about the quality of the video but I had to upload it to youtube. The only way to have it in better quality was to upload it to .org as a .dv film but .org quit out every time I tried. I tried several other websites claiming to be able to upload up to 5+ GB and the full quality was 1.7 GB. Im sorry If I let you down chris because I know you were looking forward to it.
(My girlfriend didnt take the critism so well though.)
I saw the green sky thing and kind of laughed...Don't go to hard on her about the filming though, she just learned how to use it and she was trying to get creative. Thanks for the comments about the shred. Yea I knew 8 minutes was too long but it's hard to show the best strings of 4 players in one video less than 5 minutes (which is what it should have been)...especially when we have a good day
I think it's good you took the honest route.
Matt, I really want to come to an RFA session with everyone, I havn't in soooo long.

@ Chris. Dude real nice review (though I'm sorry Morgan kind of took it badly). Totally agreed on your points. Thanks! Hope you go to Ben's blog and watch again!
@ Matt. Thanks man. It was really fun. You're more than welcome to make the trek out to the State Fair when I get that going. I'll be posting more about it. Should be great.
@ everyone. Ian's thing was a rev whirling toe bail. And it's sick nasty. And he was really close to Forque twice. Unreal.
my own thoughts.
should've been funnier. Lots of weird stuff was caught on film. I'm surprised you didn't add my drunken shred at the very end or something 
. And random fits of high fives. Always key.
ACDC. My own pet peeve. I was really hoping the whole video would be pirate music. Decent second song.
I think it captured our essence: I'm shuffling more, Ben's stepping is still a force to be reckoned with, Ian's getting MUCH more controlled and various, and Doug? Well he hit blurry whirl bs, little apple, phoenix bs(sos?), and swirling opp toe all in one session. . . yeah he's still the man.
come on guys! Comment! Critique! Look at my arms, for crying out loud! I'M F'd UP! We got more comments when it was just Ben and me getting kicked out of the malls and me warming up for 2 and a half minutes worth of video! !! ! !
thanks again to Ben for doing this. Massive post has ended.

I'm sorry, I should have told you this earlier Ben, but you should have just left me out of it so you could shorten the vid a little bit. I was having a horrible day so I honestly would not have minded had you not put any of my strings in it, Im just embarassed watching myself in this. 
Anyway, yea, its a shame that youtube destroyed the quality so badly. You used Imovie to edit this right? If so then Im sure the quality on your computer is better by tenfold. I didnt think the camerawork was that bad, I mean your girlfriend doesnt really know what makes a good footbag video so she didnt really know how to shoot it. Only way to solve that is to get her to play!
