LOTW: Link of the Week 2015

Post by F[uns]tylin' Eclectic » 12 Jan 2015 19:54

LOTW Introduction:

You may be familiar with “LOTD: Link of the Day” during the Joulukalenteri 2013 & 2014. Ianek Regimbald and Nick Polini wanted to continue the challenge and the fun throughout 2015. Once a week, Ianek and Nick will be posting a 2 part video. Part I: Intermediate LOTW (Link of the Week) and Part II: Open LOTW. Players will collect points as follows: Hit the LOTW in your level category on 1 side = 2 points. Hit the LOTW in your level category on both sides = 3 points. There are 4 seasons in a year, so there will be 2 winners per season (1 intermediate and 1 open). A special footbag stitched by one of the best stitchers in the world will be awarded to the 2 winners each season. If you are a stitcher and you would like to "sweeten the pot” and donate one of your bags as a prize for a season, go for it! To sweeten the pot even further, there will be a mystery prize with the over all winners with the most points throughout the entire year. Let’s the LOTW’s BEGIN!

Season 1:

Week 1: Int: Far Mirage> Dimwalk / Open: Blur> Pixie Whirl

Week 2: Int: Symposium Mirage> Near Illusion / Open: Far Symposium Mirage (PS Mirage)> Near muted Eggbeater

Week 3: Int: Wrap> Twist (Reverse Swirl) / Advanced: Hopover> Twirl

Week 4: Int: Far Osis> Near Butterfly / Adv: Torque> Sidewalk

Week 5: Int: Osis> Dyno / Adv: Blender> Blender

Week 6: Int: Tapping Pickup> Pixie Legover / Adv: Atomsmasher> Pixie Symp Pickup

Week 7: Int: Paradon> Whirl / Adv: Barfly> Symp Whirl

Week 8: Int: Ripwalk> Swirl / Adv: Double Pickup> ss Symp Swirl

Week 9: Int: Flying Clipper> Osis / Adv: Pdx Dragonfly Kick> Illusion

Week 10: Int: Ducking Legover> Refraction / Adv: Ducking Pickup> Flail

A couple questions:

Is there a cut off on video entries by week or can we post any at anytime?
I am assuming we post all our vids here?
Why hasn't this been done before? :)

I was looking forward to this, it looks great. Thanks Nick and Ianek! :wink:

Who/What decides whether a player is Intermediate or Open?
I have never been in any Intermediate competition before, it would be nice to finally have a chance at winning something. But at the same time, I've just hit the Open link b2b.
Though, I'm worried that the Open ones are going to get past my level very quickly. :)
I hate bad form and I'm a hypocrite.

me and Nick decides, you are Open. the open links won't get past your level quickly, it's not like Nick's LOTD, difficulty will stay the same, this project is about having the most people involved, not just for the Elite players.

Great idea! I will try some of these today. My camera shutter on my phone is scratched so excuse the quality when I upload.

Here we are, weeks 1-4! The footage is blurry, a bit unedited, and the first week my feet were a bit cut off. I am a bit ashamed to be posting footage of this quality...but it's the best I got. I hope these count!
