a little video from a rough session about a month ago.

mediocre footbag
minimal editing
melancholy music

It has been a while since I've seen you play! Decent little session there man! Always a fan of your trick selection. Hope Criss recovers well!

I think that's the best footage I've seen of you. What a fun vid!

Awesome video!! I really liked the drop to clipper from toe and flying merkon! Your rakes are amazing.

Whoah! I got stoked just seeing that you had made a video

Glad to see you are still as creative, if not more so, since I saw you at worlds 07. You still have that gnarly neo/guay game too. I loved all those rakes. I've been throwing far muted rake into runs a lot too, that one is heck of a lot of fun.

EDIT: I love Google's translation of the zoska.pl post:

Paula Agostinelli. Pleasant movie player in the United States. This is not the type wymiatacza, but you can definitely say about him is that rozkminiaczem, and such is also always nice to watch.

wow i really enjoyed that i love your style and your tricks. really fun video. at 5:10, u start doing a clipper> calf kick?> clipper repeat. ive never seen that before! whats it called? and do u mind if i start doing that as well? i really like how u think outside the box and do some creative tricks. i really like that and thinks its makes your style unique. i also think more people should use knee bumps in there strings. its just refreshing seeing something new. im going to practice on lil things like that to make my style more fun to watch. im still a beginner but i love this sport more and more everyday!

Really enjoyablle video!

One thing I didn't really like were toe sets. Knee movement(02:31) and far from body

However (!) I loved tricks you have chosen! Far symple dyno is simply SWEET! Runs with calf kicks looked so weird and nice haha

Got to watch it again!

Nice video Paul. Glad I finally got a chance to see it. Very nice editing and music selection. Great tricks and smooth style. Props on the big moves.

thank you very much to everyone who has watched and commented, i really wasnt expecting this video to get this kind of response.

@yellow,

calf kick or stall is called cloud kick or cloud stall. it is definitely not my trick, i got the ideas from jorden and i have no idea where the trick originated. you are more than welcome to do them of course.

Laroche · Post by **Laroche** » 25 Feb 2009 09:27

That trick at 3:15 is slicker then melted butter on a baby's ass.

I really enjoyed this video, and I want to see some more shuffle from you! I know downtime is your thing, but you have a great flow and energy when you force yourself to move those flagpoles you call legs.

Sick video.

was that a gyro torquescrew?

Paul Agostinelli · Post by **Paul Agostinelli** » 27 Feb 2009 20:28

thanks a lot nick, im glad you liked that trick, i have no idea what to call it but it was invented that night (i think, ive never seen it before), almost by accident.

jon, yes that is gyro torquescrew, called moby dick. its actually a lot easier than it looks.

i just looked over this thread again, what on earth!? first, i had never heard of zoska.pl, so i obviously had no idea i was linked there, very cool! second, my name is SO not paula, though larochenick may disagree there. and third, id really like to know what a wymiatacza is. can someone who speaks polish translate?

Dorota · Post by **Dorota** » 02 Mar 2009 10:11

Of course, I can try to translate but it won't be easy.
People who speak English probably don't know how the system of different word variants works.

Paula is one of these forms - it means "[the video] of/from Paul"
rozkminiacz (it's a nominative form of 'rozkminiacza') is also pretty hard to explain - in the colloquial style, a person very creative, who thinks a lot and tries to understand things. hope you know what I mean

on the other hand, 'wymiatacz' is a person who can sweep you of your feet (in this case by his huge tricks).

to sup up, maybe you're not the type of 'wymiatacz' but you're definitely a 'rozkminiacz'... and we like it!
props for your video, I enjoyed it a lot.

mikeanello · Post by **mikeanello** » 02 Mar 2009 10:53

When Paul goes BAP his name should be Paul "Rozkminiacz" Agostinelli.
