Nice video. Great backdrop for footbag. I like your style and you have a good set of moves and play with control. I would suggest working on left foot pixie and illusions. Good work on the paradox torque. My only critique for the video is that the ending music was abrupt. Perhaps next time you could do a 5 second fade out of the music. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Jakob!

Nice to see some footage of you

It was fun playing together at worlds, I remember playing with that red bag!

I agree with all said from Mike, more flip toes !

That shred spot looks great, I love it.

cool style, fun video. but yeah, you gotta get that flip toe in there... dlo's, smears, and pdx mirages get old when theyre always on the same side.

thanks for watching and giving me such nice feedback!

now that i just got back into kicking, i am very happy to see that i get closer to having an equal flipside clipper game. so youÂ´re right, i might pick up your advice to start to school my flip toe.

thereÂ´s just one bad thing: there wonÂ´t be any worlds soon to meet u and have a nice shred together!

time will do!

ps: that shred spot does only look nice. cause you have to move away after almost every run cause cars wanna make their miles there!

Good basics. As well as working your flip toe, you should work on fixing your pixie on your strong side. Try and keep it under you, and flick rather than force, your range of motion is too large, it will be hard to use with such things like pixie dlo, pixie drifter, pigbeater etc. when you get there.

thanks for your advice, jeff!

if i got it right you told me something i was told years ago, but i just didnÂ´t pay attention to it maybe just because i was schooling something else or just played a little.
i should set/dex the bag at a higher point and nearer to my leg/knee through a short and fast movement instead of rushing/pulling from the bottom and start of dexing, right? i play without modified toe walls, maybe thats the cause of my unlikely movement?

anyways, good to have some people telling me what iÂ´m doing wrong and how i can improve/clean up my game!
