oooh! first reply...im DLing now, will edit with comments!! im so excited.

OH DAMMIT i took too long writing it so it logged me out fuck. well, the shortened version is...

jamie, props on especially your first two strings, both were nice, and DAMN i cant believe how close you got to that drill! that is absolutely HUGE in my eyes. awesome. nice bedwetters. atomic whirl bsos was real sweet...your atomics always look so effortless.

dan, i like how you dont bail out to easy stuff even on strings that most people do, like when your doing a lot of stepping, osii, and spins, you still dont bail to basic butters and osii and whatnot. nice barflies as well, looked good.

janis, huge props on pinch set terrage, your style is consistantly unique and im a big fan. you look like you are getting a really solid foundation.
props all around, im definitely lookng forward to part II!!
oh, and i like the chilled out laid back music.

cheers,

I didnt realize melbourne shredded so sickly! Dang Jamie and Dan Dang!
whoever was doing the reactors has a really nice looking atomic. Janis, you could be a serious pixie shuffle master.

You guys are so fun to watch.

And hey, Jaime actually has a full part in this one!

Nice vid.

The rawness of the shred was really cool, although I think a little bit more music volume would have been better. The fast forward bits were also kinda funny.

You guys are all really good.

Melbourne has been the Mecca of Australian footbag for years, thanks to Lynton Stephens (Assassin, Scorpions tail, etc...) - the Father of Australian Footbag, and Brendan Erskine.
Those guys really brought footbag to the greater continent.

Seriously, I'd be disappointed if Melbourne DIDN'T go off!

I love Dan's style, though.
I proposed, but he hasn't replied.

(I hope to have his children)

Just to be a jerk, Lynton didnt invent Scorpions Tail. He did invent Assassin though, and Cataclysm, Rasmus, Tunguska, Wentletrappe, Witchdoctor etc etc...

part two was a non-typical footbag video, but i liked it. im a type that cares less about the style of the video and the editing than what was hit. as long as i can clearly see what was hit, im happy. and that video made me happy, because you guys his some crazy crazy stuff. massive props especially on you know what mr first try jamie.

Dan makes weird comments, but "Shoe props" was one of the better ones.

i thought dan's comments were generally rather amusing.

Yeah, actually I agree, but you can't deny that a few of them are pretty random.

Both were kick ass. I too loved the "Rawness" of the video. I like how you had the music but still kept in the ambient sounds and conversation. It made it feel like the video was more "real" if you get my meaning, I can't think of how to describe it better.

You guys are sick though. I can't even choose which moves to congratulate on because there were so many! So congrats on everything you guys hit!
