Fast footbag in 2 minutes

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 05 Dec 2004 20:05

I had nothing to do tonight, and my main video project is on hold for a week, so I decided to do a quick 2minutes video.
Let me know if it sucks I'm still learning and I accept critics!

Holy poo that pdx swifter was SMOOTH! Who was it that hit plasma? (James?...)
I think Nick is a contender with Matthew Cross for prettiest boy footbagger.
Oh yeah it was also nice to see Sebastien do so much bothsided double down stuff!

If plasma is the move being hit at 0:14 then yes it is James

OMG this video is sooooo funny! I love it. I love how crazy fast it is and when yoda get's footbags all over him then darth vader wrecks his shit! And the crazy guy that goes back and forth with the flier.
The cat with the footbag makes me piss my pants. And the dancing is even funnier!
I once tried to edit a 30 clip and I basically just had to rotate it, crop it, and add some words at the beginning, but it wasn't working. Video editing is tough shit and all that stuff in there looks hard to do.

Great stuff Mathieu

Ah! Pdx. Swifter!

Damn, I threw that into Premiere and watched it slo-mo style.

That's the most impressive trick I've seen a long time.

Hey, I just watched the video and its awsome!
my beautifull friend has helped me put it on his website, which has a much faster download rate than footbag.org, heres the link for faster downloads, maybe you can edit it to the top of the page.

Wow that was a very cool video.

It must have taken such a long time to film and edit all that stuff.

Nice work!

Nice video, I really enjoyed!

I'm watching it for about the tenth time now but I seem to miss the pdx swifter everytime. Can anybody tell me at what time the pdx swifter is hit (ex: 1:50)? Thanks!

0:11-0:12

edit: whoops, i knew i had more to write! ha, any way, i really enjoyed watching the video. the yoda darthvader thing was pretty funny (except that net is usually refered to as "the dark side" so i think he should have grabbed a net bag, or yoda should have kicked his ass... OR, or, maybe the freestyle bag he grabbed out of yoda was the power of freestyle and the net guys wanted it? OR OR or, maybe i'm over analyzing this

) the pdx swifter looked so awesome! the video is fun to watch. i found it interesting you through the pepsi logo into the mix of flags . any way, it's really entertaining.

Thanks Andrew! Yeah, that pdx swifter was a wicked awesome move!! HUGE props on hitting it so smoothly!

Andrew: you are so much over analysing this

I just made Vader chop Yoda's head off since he has a lightsaber and he has hands to pick up things!
I'm happy someone noticed the Pepsi logo in the flag section, even tough I don't drink any soft drinks, and hate Pepsi, I beleive they are so big and popular that they deserve to be called a country (this sounds really bad, but I think that way in a humoristic way) Anyways I tought it was pretty funny to include it !

Dude I thought the Pepsi logo was the funniest shit in the movie (which is truly saying something). It was just so random and hilarious (like the rest of the movie). The very quick (So quick I had to pause it like 10 times just to get the exact right spot) shot of the top 3 on the stands at worlds was oh so sick too.

Alright, enough )'s, great video.

Thanks for the cool video!

Paradox swifter!

I`m a gonna try that next time, even though I`ve never hit swifter.

I really liked the editing in the video too.

Personally, I feel that footbaggers should never badmouth Pepsi. Pepsi Japan helped us so much in spreading footbag in Japan. There are lots of dedicated freestylers in this country who would have never discovered footbag if it weren`t for the help of Pepsi Japan. I wouldn`t have gone to Worlds 2003 if it weren`t for Pepsi Japan. For a good half a year, you could get a stallable footbag for free just for buying a 1 liter bottle of Pepsi. I could play tripless with these bags right after buying them. I`m not a fan of corporations in general, but Pepsi helped spread my favorite sport to a country that was unfamiliar with footbag. They sponsored and helped organize Asia`s first footbag tournament, literally throwing money at us. Because of their help, I have made it a point to buy pepsi products over coke products whenever possible. When I buy a pair of lavers, the first thing I do is cut off the adidas logo on the tongue of the shoe. Fuck adidas, they`ve done jackshit to help the sport. If there is one corporation that footbaggers shouldn`t badmouth, its Pepsi.

Sorry for the rant. I realize it must seem weird after the props, but I feel pretty strongly about the issue. Maybe seeing poutine in the video made me angry.

hacksterbator · Post by **hacksterbator** » 08 Dec 2004 00:00

never, under any circumstances, bad mouth poutine (or montreal smoked meat) infront of me. i would kill some one (or at least give them a nasty flesh wound) if i could get a plate of poutine, a smoked meat sandwich piled super high, and a kosher dill pickle in winnipeg.

That was so footbag!

But while on the subject, your video could have included more snack-shots (Mmmmmmmmmmmm ... snacks...), more drinking water (Mmmmm... or sugary fluid... Mmmm sugary fluids... With bubbles!) and more probs!

acxel22 · Post by **acxel22** » 08 Dec 2004 03:53

how can you not badmouth pepsi? In some places where there is no drinkable water there is pepsi.. there is a huge problem!!!
No offense but they bought your silence with a footbag
