John Goode Returns to Lavers

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 09 Sep 2009 13:15

Due to convincing arguments and influence at funtastiks, I've switched back to lavers. I'm a climacool guy no more. So that being said, any critiques of my first day back in lavers would be appreciated. It was so hard to pixie with toe walls

Thanks!

Nice work with the Lavers. If you are having trouble with pixie sets getting caught on the toe walls, it may be due to your setting leg starting the pixie dex before the bag has come far enough off of the setting foot. I stepped through your video frame by frame and saw that you are beginning the pixie dex a bit early in the set and this tends to carry the bag with it, which is why the bag travels across your body and not straight up. Try to pixie set without moving your ankle much at all and concentrate on dexing around the bag at a slight angle rather than over it. I hope my suggestions help you better your game.

I like your bothsidedness and the control you maintain in your runs.
Spinning Clip>Gyro Clip>rpt was nice, so was Gyro Clip>Near symp mirage.
I think I'm on the same level as you are, so I can't give you much advice. Only thing I can think of is the wide leg movement doing pdx mirages. try to set the bag....ah, you know what I mean

Good work, keep it up!

Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I play

That's not what I meant. I meant that as soon as I saw your Clima Cools, I sent a memo out to the wider footbag community, including Matt, requesting that everyone make fun of you the whole weekend, shaming you into switching.

Props on switching up the gear and still retaining your original ability. I'm pretty much at the same level as you so I don't have anything insightful to say other then I envy your spins.

nice video. I think you will find the switch to lavers the way to go.

One tip-- I noticed this right away because I sometimes do this

When you do any trick that has a mirage in it, you extend your dex foot way in front of your knee. Try to keep your ankle under your knee and your lower leg perpendicular to the ground. Use more of a hip pivot to do the mirage instead of your leg. this will make your dex easier, cleaner, and faster. I hope this helps.

I'm glad you switched.

Your stalls at the end of some tricks (particularly mirage and paradon) look way too hard. Perhaps practice more basic stalls rather than the full on trick.

Like Mark said, make sure to keep your foot perpendicular and go more vertical on your toe delays.

Don't wiggle your foot around on clipper. The sinking/dipping/actual stall comes from the support leg.

Zac, this time I won't skip the basic stalls session lol
