hey jeremy, after an email yves told me about last year i wonder why you say you are such a non-elitist...

my european guesses are clearly renato zülli, mikko lepisto, juho marjo and probably 20 other fins, maybe karim daouk, maybe paul cronjaeger, maybe ilja mitrofanov if he improves as fast as he did, maybe somebody like surprising like rafal from wroclaw in poland
jeremy if you don't decline... and depending on who is going to be there some na shredder

If you told about Rafał Kaleta, I have to clear something - he's from Strzelin (near Wrocław)

. He's playing better and better and has such a cool style. His Torques are awesome!

About Justin Dale's recovery -- well, he's been shredding. Most people know that Justin for a while had a really awkward style. He hit some really crazy stuff, but it looked bad (not the, just not fun to watch, really). His style has improved a LOT. Due to his sciatica being messed up or whatever exactly the deal is, he's been doing much easier strings and working on improving fundamentals to make them look better. If he manages to completely recover and reincorporate the old things he was hitting, he'll be BAP. It really depends on the injury.

Also, Oleg Donner has been in various videos. He's really skinny and has a lot of cool toe tricks. He had a really good shred 30 in the FFO Shred 30 video. Not sure if he's totally BAP-worthy, but he's really good.

What you're talking about is because I feel uncomfortable posting some of the stuff I'm hitting here - I don't think it is elitism at all. Also if I say something like "blurry torque isn't very hard" - which it isn't for me - I also feel uncomfortable because I know that a lot of people on this forum do find it hard and it does make me look a little elitist - this is why I hardly ever post about what I'm hitting in footbag anymore (and the fact that I don't get to play very much) - I love reading what other people are doing - I just don't really like posting what I'm doing very much.

But maybe if I was good enough to get in BAP and I did accept it - I would post what I'm doing more - because it annoys me the way not many BAP people post about their games much on any of the forums.

Hmm - my name is Hans - I am a walking contridiction

To clear things... He is from Wojtkowice, very close to Strzelin.

For SURE! Vandall is really good, and has some big moves in his arsenal, but I'm bias cause he is my idol

Keepin warm over there in Spokan James? All we are getting in Edmonds right now is rain....

Last I heard Ricky had been off his knee pretty much since the Seattle Fest (juggling a lot) and I know what you mean about Justin Sam, even at that last session I could see his style had improved. He is going places all over again.

People that are bap level currently:

Jason Crook
James Risden
Johnny Suderman
Ricky Moran
And a bunch of Europeans

bap level soon if not now:

Derek Vandaleriffic
Cheebsosaurus
Brad Nelson
Ryan Thomas
David Cleavage
Juho
Paul Cronjaeger
A bunch of Europeans

People that will get smacked if they don't make bap eventually:

'the chosen' Juan Rangel
Adam Keith

Other people that could make bap sooner or later:

Jeremy Oh Wheelorama
Dan Ednie
me
all your mothers

The more the merrier I say! After all there are only 40 current bap players if my estimate is correct.

For those I've missed, you will prove yourself regardless.

I'm getting a camcorder when I return to the states Chan. Next time we kick together I'll have to get some real footage of the man and Richard, they are a force not much talked about.

I think I get it now, though, after Andrew's post.
