Hey modified. This is my first decent vid. It's not that crazy, but I'd say not bad for a year and a half. Hope you enjoy it. Comments welcome!

FIRST POST OMGGGGGG

--

You have a good foundation. You need work. A year and a half? I was either about the same or not as good. Props. Keep practicing. Watch lots of videos of good players and be like that. Funny Legover. Dave.

With the hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the BOPpin' so they don't know what the jazz is all about!

Damn dude, finally got to see the fabled Shredzilla quantum set.

Everything looked clean, good job on no sketchy tricks. Runs were solid.

Also, a USFootbag.com t-shirt? Is that thing one of a kind?

Well, would post some more but don't want to give anything away. Good job, very nice video.

That video was very wel done man. Your both-sidedness is superb. Everything is nice and smooth.

I liked the bits in the middle as well. That was funny as hell.

Keep at it man!

solid foundation, big pixies, and good string length. nice quantum, i wanna learn it one day.

do you have bs stepping?

you have double dexs and stuff, what about datw?

i didnt see any illusions...

bothsided is nice. good job on that.

make more videos.

this vid was pretty good, the music went with the flow of your shred/where you filmed pretty good

i liked a ton of links in it, expecially one double dex trick that was bsos (you know what im talkin' bout)

i liked also how there wasnt a 2add in it, pushing yourself to guilt is cool, glad to see your shins are getting better

Very nice video, thanks for sharing. Looks like you have a good foundation, I wouldn't worry much about anything. One small piece of advice is to try and relax your arms as much as you can. On some of your harder tricks you expend energy on clenching your arms in weird ways. That energy is better saved for your legs and core.

That first background in the video really reminded me of Bush Mango.

nice chris, your style and variety of moves reminds me of myself. very nice video. props.

Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 11 Feb 2007 17:55

Cool. Your style has gotten better.

Remember to emphasize good posture and try waiting for the bag to land in frigid before making the rotation on osis.

Later,
JM

Your paradox mirages bothered me.

'Cause you planted.

Very nice video, I liked it oodles and bunches, especially the middle part. Hilarious.

Thanks for the comments! Especially from Jorden and Ken

I guess that's one perk of this community, you get tips from legends in the game

Bri-Thanks man, yeah I do have stepping bs, if you'll notice one of the strings was blur>butter>step mirage>butter (I'll try to get that one rpt next time) As far as illusions go, I had ducking pdx illusion on the tape, but it didn't look clean enough. It's tough to get illusion ending moves to look real clean on tape, but I'll get that one and blizzard clean for next time.

Is-Thanks. Since I've been playing, I have tried not to plant on bop, but unfortunately shin splints forced me to learn the moves with a small plant. If you'll notice, sometimes I do it and sometimes I don't. And it's mainly just a feel thing for me. Sometimes I can set the bag in a way that won't necessitate a plant, without causing pain. Of course sticklers of form will point it out, but what can ya do. Oh, and the dancing thing in the middle came from us listening to that Jamiroquai song that Napoleon Dynamite danced to. Every good footbag vid should have some comic relief!

Peg-Glad you liked the song. I literally picked it because of the problems I've had with my shins. Lol, it just felt like such an ironic song to use. Plus it's a good song

Big thanks to Zeb, who has helped push my game to where it's currently at. I also want to thank Iron Nad cuz he pushed me to make this video. Not to mention he's just a hilarious mofo

Thanks everyone for your posts, more comments welcome!

Nice stuff Chris!! Your both-sidedness looks SOO rad.

how is USfootbag.com coming along btw?

Still coming up to Temple this weekend? Saturday feels so far away, can't wait!!

david · Post by **david** » 12 Feb 2007 10:41

It's hard to beleive we haven't played in like 6 months. You have really been schooling.

Hope to see you soon. Keep it up. You have the foundation to be an excellent player.

Ian Brill · Post by **Ian Brill** » 12 Feb 2007 10:45

You are shredding a lot harder than the few times I saw you kick last summer. Very inspiring. I like the quantums a lot, and the whirls seem right-on.

The bag I bought off of you is breaking in very nicely too. Thank you.

jay7 · Post by **jay7** » 12 Feb 2007 11:50

Very nice! I hope that I'm at that level when my 1.5 year of footbagging comes around. I think those whirls just made me completely re-think of how I do them.

And those disco moves were completely one sided.

HG · Post by HG » 12 Feb 2007 19:22

very nice. Much better than i thought you were. Although it would be nice to see more varied tiltless runs than BOP based guiltless. But I kind of understand why youd go BOP guiltless. Your double dexes really impressed me, and so did quantums. Your legs are quicker then they look!

If you want your grain turned into flower, the Miller will shred it for you.

Not bad, man! I'd like to see some pixie/stepping/atomic pickups too from you.

Keep it working!
