Are there any half-decent free film editing programs out there, or is Windows Movie Maker sufficient for a first video?

I've been playing tons of footbag lately :) Today was the 5th day in a row that I've played, and my first solo session in quite a while. I drilled stepping lots and hit a bunch of new stuff:

~Blender BS
~Sidewalk BSOS
~Ripwalk BSOS
~Blur BSOS
~Stepping op/same Clip BS
~Stepping op/same Legover BS
~Mirage>Illusion>SS Mirage rpt

I also came unbelievably close to blurry whirl! I think that will be my first five :twisted:

Awesome highlights!

It's too bad you couldn't make it to Wakahakee, don't worry there will be more of them!

You should make a new video, it sounds like you're making crazy progress.

Keep shredding! :)

After I started working, and Cassy moved out to go to university, footbag ended for me.

Four months later, Cassy is back home for a while, and I am off work for a few months, so the time, energy, and motivation that I lacked the past while has come back to me. The time spent at YEAH in Rochester, with some super-cool dudes has also played a part in my decision to start playing again.

So yeah, I'm back, hopefully for a long run. I think the goals in my brain are a little more founded than before, and I plan on using this free time to up my game a little bit.

And Cassy is becoming killer! It makes me all warm and fuzzy thinking back to when we would play some hacky-numbers and get up to like 6 kicks. Time flies, we just celebrated one year as a foot-couple!

I'd like to give shout-outs to Paul Agostinelli and Chris Dean for making YEAH a sweet-ass event, and just being cool. Shout-outs to everyone who made it to that event as well!

Two weeks ago tomorrow I woke up and the room was spinning rapidly (no drinking was involved 8O ). A trip to the hospital soon revealed that I had vertigo :x For three solid days I couldn't stand without getting dizzy and almost falling over let alone footbag..

The dizzyness and nausea lingered for about a week, and I finally felt well enough to footbag again for the first time this past Wednesday. I was so pumped to have my health (and balance) back that I had a two hour session four days in a row.

My pixies are getting pretty easy now, gotta work on stepping some more.

New stuff:

~Smear>PLO rpt
~Torque bsos
~Smudge bs
~22 Osis

~Pixie ss Mirage b2b
~Magellan>Legover rpt
~Ducking Mirage
~Pickup>DLO rpt
~Legover>DLO rpt
~ss Mirage>DLO rpt
~8 contacts of Infinity>Whirl rpt
~10 contacts of Infinity>rev Whirl rpt

I think my body needs rest.. but footbag is just too much fun!

Woah! Details on the vertigo? This a permanent thing? I've always thought a problem like that would be the pits.

Hope you're alright.

Thanks guys :)

I would really like to make a video, but it probably wont happen for a while. The power cord for my camera got messed up somehow, so I am waiting for a replacement that I ordered on ebay. Also, I don't really have a very good place to make a video until the weather warms up (I play in a cluttered basement right now). I will try and make something as soon as I can.

Apparantly the vertigo was due to some sort of inner ear imbalance. I have no idea why I got it, apparantly its really uncommon in people under, like, 40 :? . It sucked, but I think its gone for good now (hopefully!). I'm taking some medication to keep it from returning.

Tom: Next time you see any FATties if you could drop off my lavers with them that would be sweet, I see them more often than I see you. Or if not, I might mission to Oakville one of these days to pick them up. You'll have to let me know what days you 905ers get together to play hack!
