The point of this video, was to show a fun little session at some random school I've never attended, and not to showcase any birthgivingly creative, or intense shred. If you do feel so inclined to play footbag after seeing this, it'd be nice to read some stories about why the session you had was fun.

Plain set-up with no outer distractions or unnecessary experimenting with camera angles or slowmo. I think more videos should be like this, putting the focus entirely on the shred.

It's amazing to see how far you've come since NYJ 2008! Your style is aggressive now, I love it! Your whirls are amazing in particular. Keep up the training!

Super good.
Really liked the scorpion's tail > spanishfly both sides. I don't know what you're talking about. Your shred is stellar.

The music sounds like my brother's. I actually thought it was his before the beat began. Check it: (I did the album cover): http://www.monstunes.com/album/ (my brother says that it sounds like his song "Dreaming in Sepia")

I was completely inspired to kick after watching this.
Thanks Jay for the idea behind this video, this is exactly what i needed for both my footbag and my music.
Its not that I have a problem with my current level of experience, I just hope to gain that level of expression one day.
Lacing up right now.

I commented on YouTube, but I just wanted to say again that I was very impressed by this video. You just look more confident and aggressive in all your movements, Jay. I'm impressed by how good you are getting. I also liked having the option to watch the video in HD.
