I love how freestylers from the lesser known disciplines are getting together to form crews. This is becoming more common and I think strengthens our individual disciplines as well as get's them more exposure. Great job

I agree. I think it's really hard to get people to watch a bunch of people at one "fringe" sport, because it quickly gets dull or confusing (you have to be fairly involved in footbag to really have any idea what's going on even at a guiltless level). But if you mix in other sports and keep changing it up, it keeps it fresh. Every time a new person takes center stage you get another unique feast for the eyes.

This is a really cool idea and a really good video. I mean, really, when was the last time you saw THAT many random people watching a footbag event?

Awesome! And keep up the great work!

Very cool video. I thought footbag and the soccer came off the best. I was surprised by how lame the basketball freestyle looked, considering I love basketball. Same with the beatboxing. But yeah, cool concept and execution, and props to Pavel for making the footbag look so good.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. At the same time, I realized the skill it took to do what that guy was doing, but it still didn't come off as looking cool. I was impressed with the moves where the basketball appeared to be staying in exactly one spot and the dude was moving around it.

I may be a bit biased, but I definitely think the footbag came across looking the best!
