including massive footage, and minor editing.

Thanks and props to David for letting me film him and hitting some ridiculous combos.

David, dude... What did that nice little footbag ever do to you?

That ducking run (where every duck was preceded by a set) particularly got me. Niiiiiiiiice

ridiculous

man, wtf?

mc · Post by mc » 06 Jan 2008 14:37

that video had so much 'wow' factor. I haven't said / thought "holy shit!" at a video that many times in a long while. thank you so much to mathieu for putting this out so quickly, and to david for his dedication and stylishness! I loved the alpine shuffle as well, but I'm ALWAYS a sucker for huge 2 move combos. whirring swirl > alpine food was sick.

WTF the whole video.

sick!

Scary and inspiring.

What a treat. Very inspiring. Love the increased variety, unpredictable links,
and increasing level of difficulty. Seems like you're covering everything. 'Wouldn't expect anything less.

+1 on the alpine(?) run.

Way to bring in the New Year

That was like a Vasek video. Wow.

Plus I'm in the background.

Great Vid!

That's all I can really say for it!

Jorden · Post by **Jorden** » 06 Jan 2008 16:07

Holy crap -- that was the fastest 5 1/2 minutes of my life!

Your runs seem more expressive now. Like you were busting to inspire rather than to regulate. I think it's a sign of growth not only as a freestyler but as a person.

Yeah, and it did feel like a Vasek video.

Props D.

Thats what I wanted to say but my english wasn't good enough to express it.

Keep doing it and you'll be the best

Such control!!!

I thought the drifter run was sweet.

The music was great too, reminds me of Secret of Mana or something. It seemed to sync up with the action on more than one occasion. Thanks for the video, Mathieu.

Separate props post, this time for the creator of the video. The music is nice.

Watched this video way too many times now. Gonna have to go cold turkey pretty soon.

It seemed like I was watching a mulroney video for the first time back in the day. Then, it did seem like I was watching vasek.

I am very impressed. I am also proud of you.
If I may offer some advice, please study Lon more still and learn to make your tricks more effortless, so that one day, just as your tripless was once effortful but has now become efforless, your fearless beastly and godly links will become effortless, if that is your fate. however, I know you are on a positive path and I encourage you.

ps practice the splits... there are 7 types but at least the basic 3.

Take care and I'll see you again one day.

Samurai

edit: very nice video, very very good! memorable, emotional, enjoyable, exciting, epic!! EEEEEEEEEEE

you looked like a professional footbagger.

not just a kid with some talent.

professor · Post by **professor** » 07 Jan 2008 07:14

While the video is impressive, it doesn't hold a candle to actually being there in the circle with him. It was definitely a highlight of my footbag career. You can't fully appreciate how good he is until you're standing there watching it in person.

I didn't like the music, but I'm keeping this video anyway

mc · Post by mc » 07 Jan 2008 09:11

I didn't want to be the first to say this, but watching that definitely reminded me of watching Vasek. Disgustingness pouring out at all angles.

just thought I'd add that. you're the shit, dave.
