Nice video.

I like your style and your bothsidedness, everything looked pretty smooth and you have a good variety of tricks, albeit it's a short video.
I especially like your Zoomings, Whirls and Ducks.

Only thing I've missed was some longer runs.

Also, really nice music choice, finally some post-rock for a footbag vid.

thx daLai )

i have been working on improving my trick selection, which has caused my strings to become much shorter atm. i hope for my strings to get longer in the coming months, in the best way. )

and yes, i love this track. this style of music goes really well with footbag.

Nice style Greg.

I liked the shots and editing. I think you can bust better combos - all tricks you`ve hit here are controlled with good style.

Yahhhhhhhhh Greg!

I love the combo's. I also enjoy how relative everything is on this forum. It's awesome.

I'm guessing this was a classic one session film job. Pretty darn good, now keep steady on the same path and slowly lengthen. Don't focus too much on length yet.

Keep pushing!
First think about how to practice or don't bother practicing.

thx wiktor--i am working hard for Montreal Open in a few weeks. i will try to step up my strings. )

cheers, john. yep, it was a 30 min filming session as the sun was going down. i need to re-export with credits, as my brother deserves some props for the footage, he's getting better every time we film.

I haven't checked in here for a good while. This is an awesome video to return to.

I get pretty bored with "shred" videos, but this is a great example of something I would show to my friends. The sunset, complimented perfectly by the song choice really draws out how beautiful kicking around a little bag can be. That's what I love about playing, and that's what I think you captured quite well here. Honestly, I'd rather watch a video like this than a new Vasek shred video that amounts to seven minutes of raw footage in a gym or something. Haha, maybe that's just me though.

Thanks for taking the time to make it!

Yeah, beautiful is the word I'd pick as well. Nice flowy style, complimentary music, GREAT location. my favorite shot (obviously) was you against the sunset. It makes me want to film against a similar background in the future, with a run of only ducking and spinning, because the dexes got lost in the background a little bit. But, great idea!

thanks for this. Looking forward to rocking out hard with you in Montreal.
BRICK!
