Filmed by Barret Neimeth, a fellow NYFA shredder. NYFA is shown in full force in this film! I'm in the small scene with the hookers. (What the hell? What happened to my face!? )
Guest star is the first shredder of the film, Philip Wachmann (freshONE here in modified), who just recently visited NYC to shred with NYFA!
Mad prizzops to Barret. He did a lot of hard work in making this video, and it's awesome! I hope the rest of modified enjoys it.

I'll try to ask the man himself this weekend if he can offer a downloadable version.

Sweet vid guys. Cool concept and captures the vibe of freestyle really well in places. Some cool shots in there, too. Was that guy trying to get the bag to try weed? classic A very enjoyable watch, props

AHhhh I loved this video ! The shred wasn't anything close to top notch (No offense !), but the vibe and spirit was just too awesome. The quality of video was really nice, professionally edited and filmed. I think my main love for the video was the presence of pedestrians everywhere and the city life. This film really reminded me of some early 90's MTv video, time to watch it again, and then again. Props to everyone that appeared in the video and of course to the editor of it.
Very fun! Sooo well put together. I like the huge passes, especially the one that passes through two shots. Thanx for making the vid and posting it

I agree that it didn't put much professional freestyle into the mix, but it was Barret's call on what places we should shoot and what bag we should use (Sandmaster). But in all I think his vision for the short film really pulled through, and that's all that matters. Here's to hoping for another footbag film (maybe) that would be much more intense than this.

I like that film!! Big props to Barret.
I am happy that the film became that good and that it has good "criticism" and that I have the honor to be the first guy in the movie

<- blown away. Exceeded all expectations. My favorite part was when one guy tried to offer the bag money.
