Footbag Freestyle demo video

Post by Anz »

The internet is lacking good demo videos to show to non-footbaggers. I had a session with the Airinen brothers and Lauri filmed this demo video. We didn't plan ahead what to film, and we knew that it would not be perfect. I think it turned out quite alright anyhow. I hope this works as a video you can show to anybody who's interested finding out what footbag is.
I'm using big single color footbags made by Marco Hartig. They are much more visible and easier to follow, especially for a casual viewer.

The bags are great, they make it easy to see what's going on even on youtube.
But the music is kinda like an 80's T.V special, I didn't like that.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, turned out pretty good. and now, if you start thinking first it just can get better and better. :) that i like the bags is out of the question, but i have to admit, i never thought they come out this good in a video.
the music... i loved it :) but i have a little 80ies music sort of thing going on lately anyways. :D

Thanks for the video!

The video is good for beginners due to the highly visible bag!

However, I think a "footbag video for non-footbaggers" needs
lots of slowmotion. People just can't follow what you're doing in
normal speed.

You should combine this video with Finnish Cast Iron - that would
be the perfect introduction to footbag, I think!

In my opinion if you want to interest non footabggers with a video, you need a good back ground. The good point with footbag is that u can do it anywhere, so why in a Track and field Gym? I think that even a big white wall would be better.

And I definitaly agree with slow motions part that are highly needed for beginers.

Nevertheless it is always good to watch you play dude.
