dig it! Nothing too special, but I wanted to show that there's some guys from my home town playing and give them a chance to get some critique from some other players. Hope you enjoy and can give some tips to my friends.

I don't know what critiques to give other than ones you can already give. You kick ass at footbag. Hope to see u and your friends at the us open.

edit: that was supposed to be a pm. god damn

nice long strings!! Good combination of tricks, a lot of emphasis on clipper set which is good. Only thing that could be better is using both sides. I didn't see Zach use his flip clipper, butterfly or osis that much, but that just might be because of the video. He seems to have them solidly down on one side though. Ducking, Diving were really good except always from clipper to toe or same clipper. Technique and form was very good, obviously learned the fundamentals very well. One other thing I didn't see from both of them was uptime dexes!!!

If they keep this up they will be really, really good in no time.
You have probably already told them all this though.

its too bad we didn't catch some of matt's earlier strings on video.
Thanks for taking the time to make this Matt
Super fun day
Can't wait to practice hard and play again.

For Zach

Osis > toe stall seems to be a bread and butter for you, nearly every time you seemed to fall for that.

When you transition from clipper > op clipper (or butterfly) the set height seems under your waist. I was wondering if its making it harder for you? Try setting slightly about your waist for back to back and see how that works out for you. (I find it easier to do slightly above waist, but might be different for you).

Keep up the good work, I live the form for sure smooth, clean, and controlled. (Don't take offense, but the pigeon toeness amused me).


Edit:
Sorry Mason, one string wasn't enough to get anything from your form other than drill basics until they're consistent. (Same goes for Mason). Work those flipsides and get rid of bad habits as fast as you can or they'll really hamper your game later on!

to the kid in the black shorts: quit raking every single toe delay. just delay it and set it straight back up, no forward sweep. you'll have a shithouse toe game if you keep that up. your mirages are like 50/50 pulled because of it, and the one symp. mirage might have just been a xbd rake. i dunno i couldn't tell. sort that out now before it gets worse. it could also provide you an opportunity to start working some uptime sets.
pixie, fairy, illusion? these are things you should be hitting in strings, not just mirages and legovers. a solid foundation will make for learning tricks in the future much easier. hard to learn egg beaters if you can't do illusions. while the ducking was impressive, and you were pretty good on using both sides, i'd be way more psyched on seeing a run with every 2 add move in it. far pick ups look sick and ss legovers are under used. add em to your reapatoire.
to the guy in the green shirt: give up bro. i don't see you going anywhere.
gyro b looked clean! bitchin'! got a closer angle? also dug the tootsies and the twirling stuff (what ever it was)

hahaha...

okay, just to be clear to zach and mason...

Andrew is a totally hardcore awesome freestyler and, frankly, all that advice is good advice.

Hope to shred and drink it up with you at worlds, Andrew! Thanks for checking out the video!

[hrdcorethndr1]

I am actually thankful for the advice i recieved. i never realized that i scooped so much when i caught the footbag on my toes.
