This little animation was drawn by me during the 08 Shredmonton competition where we had side competitions such as who could make the best animation on the back of the Planet Footbag Sick 3 flip books. So I came up with the origin of Hackrifice. And now, thanks to the scanning skills of Rory and hours of me sizing and lining up the 40 frames on my comp, here is the unveiling of my footbag avatar! Yey!
Enjoy,
Kyle Warren

I put a little slow motion on the whirl for this one, that's one sexy footbag!

Yep, should be working.
Here's the link

I figured it out, it's cause there's an hourly data transfer limit. So you pretty much have to be the first one of the hour to view them then it won't overload yahoo's stingy file sharing system.
Keeping checking back if it doesn't show up the first time.
It's pretty shradical if I do say so myself.

Hey Kyle,

You can setup a website for free through your university account that doesn't have any data transfer limits. See how here:

http://helpdesk.ualberta.ca/storage/websitesetup.html

Just to clarify, Kyle's inspiration for this animation was the origins of the hackrifice 05' t-shirt with the bloody bag on the front. We held an animation contest at shredmonton 2008. A couple of us put in entries and Kyle's ended up being the definitive winner. The animation was made on the back pages of the planetfootbag sick3 flip book (where vasek hits fairy ripstein something something).

When I watch the animation I always think of the one US open vid that James Randall made where Nick Landes whirl stomps Jorden Moir's bag and then is super apologetic about it.

Always available for view now. That was a time consuming website to make believe it or not. Stupid university html and permission garbage. But thanks Rory, that page may come in handy this year.
