First of all, there are certain aspects of your style which remind me of Dylan Fry's style. That was a big compliment by the way.
Secondly, Your whirling concept has come a long way for you to be able to pull off such a beautiful blender and the following set was straight up. well done.
Thirdly, I am sorry to say this Ben, there is something incorrect about your spinning concept. it's like steppy rather than spinny or something. Anyone reading this agree with this statement? (beside Ben Rea). If so, lets give him some pointers on the spin techniqueI'll give it a go:
With the setting foot, don't try to get the footbag set immediately after the catch. It's almost a slightly longer than normal catch, so as to give you some milliseconds to start turning your back to the beginning of the set. Once you have begun to turn your back to the bag and the setting foot, then set that bag straight up. with the momentum of turning your back to the set, begin to pivot about 90 on the plant foot and let your body follow through and leave the clipper set foot in the air until you have spotted the bag and facing the set bag in the air. then you are all set up to WHATEVER you want to do next, whether it be a dex or a stall because the bag is set before you and you are in balance.
take it for what it is worth.
cool as heck both sidedness, bsos and paradox stuff man! Peace.

FOOTBAG! D:

Here's my cell, just in case: (718) 316-2948.
If I sound dazed and confused, that's normal.

"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87

Two memorable things in one day! Way to go!
...I hope you get better soon. And try to be more careful.
