All critiques and criticisms appreciated!

And sorry about lack of music or something, the editing program that I use is very basic.

And yes, I hit the eggbeater at the end

nice stuff! it looks like you have great variety! however, even with the opening tiltless drill, you still looked pretty out of control, and the rest was just as sloppy. try to really clean things up instead of going for new moves, you have plenty of concepts to work on for now =] keep playing man!

Memory Full LOL

Nice video. You really do have a lot of basics and moves down. I agree with calemccoy in that you need to work on your control. A lot of this will come over time as you build physical strength and mental confidence. Try and keep the bag a little closer to your body, especially for toe moves. The double legovers were a bit reaching, and that makes them very strenuous to perform. When you duck the bag, make sure to get the bag over your shoulders and closer to your neck. The cleaner the better.

Great work. Keep it up.

I've forgotten to come respond to this, so thanks for the tips!

I'll definitely be focusing on the control more. When I feel that its better, I'll post another video

Are you playing on a sloped surface or is that just the camera angle?

Not only is footbag harder on a sloped surface, but it's not good for form, balance or your body for that matter. I thought the video was nice, you have a lot of decent concepts down. The zooming gyro mirages were cool.

Yeah it was just the camera angle. The camera is on a mini tripod thing which was actually on a sloped surface, but my deck-like playing area is nice and flat.

I played on a sloped surface while on vacation once and it sucked

hey,

myself and gordon bevier watched this while we ate raisin bran. it was a good video. we cannot tell if you are right or left footed which is sweet. also, you hit a lot of interesting stuff for someone at your level, so it was nice to not be bored by a video.

as far as tips go i think you just have to play a lot and get your tricks to a less stressful point (you're there with your 2's it seems). then you will have a nice controlled game. but for now i think you have a great start and it was fun to watch.

breakfast!

love,

david and gordon

.... and that, right there, is one of the best parts about modified and footbag in general.

I love this sport!

nice video, John. Big improvement over the last time I saw you. can you hit 50 tiltless with variety and bothsidedness?

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 04 Jul 2009 09:02

Dave's/Gordon's post made my day hands down

And thanks for the tips! Playing a lot would definitely be ideal

Thanks Matt! Unfortunately I've only capped in the low 30's. 50 is on the agenda
