Thanks for this!!
I remember this run from Sam's Respect the Shred - that was
my favourite run of the whole video! Great to see it again in a single
clip!!
What an incredible run. Mindblowing.

Some of the first ducks may not be 100% accurate, as I didn't start paying SUPER close attention to direction until about 1/3 of the way through. It's tough in chunky YouTube quality >____<

Thanks for posting one of my best footbag moments Ben.
I remember thinking that I should try only harder ducking and diving combo's because I didn't want to bore Jordan with just a lot of ducks. I was trying hard stuff thinking I would drop it. It's not like I was trying to set a record for ducks and dives.
I know it seems like a lot but Jim hit 95 in a row and several other players have done over 50 in a row.
Ken Somolinos, What do you mean not all of them were clean?! Name One.

It's hard to read tone over the internet, so I can't tell if you're being defensive or not. I hope you're not; I hoped my original comment made it clear that I was blown away by the run. To reiterate: this run is one of the sickest I've seen. I'm not trying to take anything away from it at all.
Now to answer your question. In my opinion, a duck/dive is comprised of two parts: a start and a finish. Either of these can be deep, thin, or the. A deep duck/dive is when the bag passes between your ear and your neck. So if you freeze video of a clean duck, the bag will be located between the ear and shoulder. A thin duck/dive is when the bag passes between the ear and the top of your head. You sometimes hear this called "crowny." A "the" duck/dive is when the bag doesn't circle the head at all.
In any ducking/diving trick, the bag circles the head, passing an ear twice: once at the start, and once at the finish. In a fully clean duck/dive, the duck/dive is deep at the start AND at the finish. In your run in this video, you hit many fully clean ducks/dives, such as at the 0:33 mark when you do a ducking clipper. It is also possible to do a ducking/diving trick where the duck/dive starts off crowny, but ends deep. The 0:33 mark of this video of me provides a good angle of such an example, on the spinning ducking clipper. The duck starts off crowny, but ends deep. I consider this type of execution to be thin. It is also possible to hit the start and end of a duck/dive crowny. Your tricks at 0:28, 0:29, and the 0:50 marks of the video all start and end crowny. I'd consider them thin at best.
While it's theoretically possible to start a duck/dive deep, and end it thin, you don't tend to see this often. Usually it's deep/deep, thin/deep, thin/thin, or straight "the."
I hope this cleared up what I meant.
