sorry to bust your balls but you didnt even come close to circling the bag.on the ducking whirl. I slow moed it and there is no dexterity at all. the others look good

Shaggster,
It may have felt as if you hit that ducking whirl cleanly, but one can clearly tell by pausing in the middle of your dex that your whirl is the. The bag is still up near your hip when your leg has basically "completed" the dex. You whirled before the bag got there.

Nice job though man! The Ducking Whirl was The for sure but the other moves were pretty solid. Nice style for sure... work on cleaning up that dex and you'll be golden.

Dude, your ducking whirl was THE (as if you haven't heard enough of that already, but i had to say it anyways)

Another thing that sparked my attention is that the first 3 replies seemed to come all at once because everyone said "it was THE" as if they were the first ones to reply...how funny

Dude, what happened to focus?

That was blurrier than my very first video was (when i was being dumb and didn't remember that there was a focus knob on my cam)...

Was that symp whirl clean?

Sorry Shaggster, i didn't mean to be cruel...

Your dimwalk appeared to be the only clean trick though, i couldn't tell the symp whirl. Keep up the good work though, you're getting quite good now

even tho i cant see the bag on the symp whirl... i slowed it down and to me it looked like a rev whirl motion

How about some strings next time, or some flipside action? A lot of these moves are made much easier if you have a more solid foundation, especially on your flipside. In my opinion, strings showcase your talent more, anyway.

Symp. Whirl looked "the" as well in my opinion.

Yeah, Casey, Strings please!

Yeah, I was about to say something about the symp whirl, too, but I thought I'd wait for a second opinion.

It sort of looks like the leg doesn't even go high enough to dex the bag. In that you set the bag, whereupon it is obviously going up. At the time of the dex, it doesn't look like the bag is where it should be. Hard to explain, someone else maybe give it a try?

Casey,

Good work on the moves, or at least good tries. I will not make any move comments as enough people have done so already.

I would just like to make some video suggestions:

1) Focus. Also make sure you have a clean lens.

2) Close ups. Try and film so that you take up as much screen space as possible. I tend to do the following: Set up the camera. Look through the camera and mark a spot on the ground that is just above the bottom border of the video screen. Shred as close to, but not in front of, the mark you made on the ground. This should help with focus as well.

3) Ending title. End your videos with a "thank you" or a scene indicating to the viewer that the video is complete. It need not be complicated and could include additional information about the video, player names, songs used, and so.

Keep your enthusiasm high and remember comments can be just as motivating and helpful as props.
