As requested, footage shot today. I hate coming back after a long break. nothing seems to work, style looks whack, heaps of the tricks, so i just wound up falling back on the ol' faithfuls. I hope you like dlo> dso and schmoe> parkwalk, because those combos appear about 50 times in this video. Not very good shred (it's pretty shit actually) but the video is a fun one.
Also experimented and filmed it on the camera on my laptop, which as it turns out it far more light sensitive than my DV camera. the clouds this evening played havoc with it.

tried to do a youtube version, but for what ever reason it was playing video in slomo and audio at full speed. will try again tomorrow.

constructive criticism not required. enjoy!

Yeah! Thanks!

Props for idea with pdx blender>gyro dlo

, anyway I smiled few times while watching, everyone who plays footbag will understand lol

That was fun.

Your style definitely hasn't suffered any from the break, and I liked the neat little combos that ended on something swirly. Especially double pickup>ss butter swirl.

One thing I have always admired about you Andrew is BSOS. No matter how insane a move or combo is, if I see you do it on one side there is a 99 percent chance I will see it on the other side in the same string. The other 1 percent is for when you don't feel like it, but that seems very, very rare.

It's nice to see you throw fits like I do. I thought I was the only one.

2:16..2:18 - LOL

yes, please excuse my ridiculous wetsuit tan. tried another youtube upload, but again the video was slomoed and audio was fine, so i quit trying. Thanks for watching folks.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!

It doesn't look like you've had any time off you nutter. I liked the fun/angry editing too, sometimes other peoples frustrations just make my day a hole lot better. At last nights session I kicked a footbag to a place where it won't be seen again...

Thanks!!

matt_bailey · Post by **matt_bailey** » 14 Aug 2009 13:48

thanks for making that andrew

it also made me want to go back and look at older footage of you and has been playing in the background for the whole session

hope footbag becomes fun for you again

i haven't been kicking for 6 years because it isn't fun. I love footbag and intend to play it until my knees are too sore to dex and i must retire to the net graveyard... unless the surf is up, then i'm gonna go get shacked. Yeewwww!

thanks for all the comments folks. Pdx blender> gyro dlo was a challenge given to me many years ago by former belgian resident Max B. I only managed to hit it when i was in australia, infront of him no less.
Thanks for the compliment mike, but i think my constant bsossery comes from a general lack of footbag creativity. 3 years of pretty much nothing but drills will do that to you, haha! P.s. your kid looks like he's gonna be one hell of a little ripper one day!
k-reg, i know, but you love it. Gonna be swinging by van some time in the near future... just sayin'.
Pete, are you the "american me" because you throw alot of tantrums, because we have a similar style and trick selection, or because we're both assholes?

ZJ, AG loves you back.
Manna, i'll take that as a compliment to my influence in your game (which is sick).
Baggi, glad my sorrows could make you happy.

Because of how easy it is to set up the computer and record directly into my editing program, i think i'll be able to make a couple more videos in the coming months. no promises though!

matt_bailey · Post by **matt_bailey** » 14 Aug 2009 14:44

im glad my presumption was incorrect

look forward to any future footage

Cool video. Really liked the style; your arms seemed more relaxed than usual. Your form is so perfect. Those 3 years of drilling certainly paid off

fucking bane of my footbag existance. However, the reason is in this vid i'm not charging and i'm not doing atomics. If i charge a couple of heavy combos or try to do atom smashers my arms flap like i'm trying to fly away.

nice to see some footage of Andrew

One of the nice styles to watch, even if not at 100% of your abilities.

I also liked the reactions on beat with the music, bings a smile !
