Joulukalenteri & Link of the Day 2014

[F[uns]tylin' Eclectic]

Day 15 comin' through! Honestly, I'm without words on this one. Adam Greenwood put out a disgustingly solid video last year as Day 1 on the calendar, and this year as Day 14... he does it again. Found myself yelling at my computer in slow motion during this. Adam is on his way to the top. This video makes that very understandable.

Here he is, the man, the dude, the guy, Adam Greenwood...
...Aaaand I'm going to watch it again after this post is complete.



Link of the Day

This one is DEFINITELY the most fun link in this calendar. This one will definitely push you out of your comfort zone. Even I was pushed outta there. If anyone just films one LOTD this year, PLEASE let it be this one...

This was so sick. The slowmo was incredibly appropriate. I couldn't follow most of this and so many rewatches will be necessary. I'm just sad I didn't get to witness this in person! Can't wait to shred with you again Adam! The final haze > smog > smoke drill was nuts. King of triples.

Welcome to Day 16. Footage is brought to you by Nathan Bonlsaver and me. Just a session we had a while ago with Ryan Morrison in our Shred Prison. This was the first session I had after Ianek helped me make my trick repertoire on paper, so it's a good bit more variety in this one. Should be more fun than the other session. Part I is more for Nathan, since my highlights/runs are OK in that and way better in the second. Unfortunately, we didn't gather a ton of footage from Nathan this session because he had to leave early. Second one is just me and better highlights/strings than the first. Includes a stringing phone call I had with Hogan that night.

Enjoy.

Part I Part II

This is the last of the Medium level LOTDs. Good luck.

I really like that haze smog smoke drill. major props.

[Wiktor]

It was soo cool to see 4xDs video. Expecially Dexter and Clavier, as it;s hard to see them play nowadays.
Thanks.

Nick, i'm impressed with the links - i mean, not may of us can repeat them all.

[MetZelRio]

My favorite parts of today's videos:

blenders are so butterz, so stalled, and zoomed every single time, except for sometimes.
Tombstone>Gravedigga (wow, I just wrote that, but now I have to say Both Sides!)
Did you "the" a swirling set and go to gyro toe??
Flapper>rev swirl as a link you are efficient at and can fall back to
reverse swirling blender? Like twirl but with a dex on the osis?

Nick, you sneaky dawg, you're busting paradox grifters midstring now. Next will be PS Eggs. I just called it.
Double spinning gyro toe? Really Nick? Really?

NathanBonBonz buttery paradoxy ripwalky string where he turned around and went the other direction in the room from his infinities.

Paul Gressett Freestyle Phonebagging. Watched intently as Bonslaver prepared to concentrate on pulling off a massive trick. Intensity to the max. Morris(on), you nailed it bruh.

Paul Gressett Let me make a small (hopefully legit) point. Last year, Jay ran the calendar and there were a bunch of videos with Jay Boychuk footage. We had no problem with Jay pouring vids out with himself. We appreciated those videos. We are also showing Nick the same appreciative attitude this year when we receive Polini vids, right gang?

Day 17 brings you 2 videos from 2 players. The first video is mainly Ianek Regimbald with a little bit of Mathieu and a little bit of Francois. Watch them tear it up with some wacky and fun tricks. I love Ianek's trick selection. A very fun watch, this one.

Second video is brought to us by Vojta Janousek, who is learning under the wing of Jindra Smola, so you know you're about to see some great stuff. He is really progressing through footbag and has a bright future in it, in my opinion. You'll see some pretty epic single leg double dexes and lots of good toe stuff from him in this video.

Enjoy

The first "Hard" LOTD

[christisgodlike]

Vojta needs a camera with a higher frame rate for those double dex sets haha. That or I need a higher frame rate for my eyes.

[MetZelRio]

YOU DID do an impersonation on this LOTD.

I caught it

[krustykrakk]

Ianek is so fun to watch.

[Lycanthrope]

#1 Francois playing for the calendar. . . major props to those dedicated Montrealers!

#2 Vojta hitting terraging mirage after 1.5 years? reminds me of my style and trick choice back then, but he's much better at it. Hopefully he will find a sustainable medium or be indestructible.

These are both very inspirational things. This kind of stuff makes me very excited for the direction of footbag! Now, all we need is some magnitude.

Also, Vojta's song has been one of my favorite songs for many years. Good choice.

[F[uns]tylin' Eclectic]

Steven Lanza wow that was awesome! I think my favorite part was when Ianek and Mathieu did short runs and passed the bag midstring. I hope that could be a form of doubles event and think people who footbag together should do that more. It makes it more like people are playing with each other rather than one person playing alone then switching off.

Paul Gressett Joulukalenteri 2014: The year of the multitasking shred. Penske turns off a light, Polini makes a phone call, Monistere... (spoiler?), Regimbald adjusts his cap to a more suitable position. Ya know, because shred alone just doesn't cut it this year.

Skyler Lon Smith Voyta, you seem to have found a new window of time for double in out toe dexes. I'm amazed at how late you mirage after a double around the world. Those toe Barrages just look cooler than anyone elses, and cleaner. I hope you play for many years so that I may view further mastery.

Vojta Janoušek Thank you, everyone! The good news is, you don't have to be Czech for a quick progress. After reaching Guiltless, I've just done a lot of Perustreenit style sessions every day and I guess that did the trick.

Good duo shred. You should do Doubles Routines, not enough people do them.

First off, the graphic for this one slayed me. So good, Kev. Just enough to not spoil the b.r.o.t.h. If you missed Boston Jam this year, this graphic sums it up pretty well.

So I've been doing a count down all day in my head for this video I'm about to throw at you guys/gals. I watched it for the first time last night around 3 am and I pretty much had my mouth open the whole time. This is a big bomb dropper from my good friend, Mark Monistere. This video has hardcore shred, inventions, excitement, entertainment, and comedy. I love this video with all my Christmas-heart and you will, too. Just watch and I bet you'll end up watching it again...

You will enjoy this one...

This was one of my favorite LOTDs to hit. I hit it around second try and was really really pleased with it. Inspired by Byrin Wylie. No Reverse Swirls this time!

Give it a try

[cd]

Whoa nice LOTD. About to watch Mark's video.


back. Watched it a couple times.

Wow... there were moments I thought I was watching Jorden Moir. World class shred. The sax playing was the coolest thing anyone's ever done while also playing footbag.

[Add Block]

Cool new set. Hardcore sets are usually done thin, but not this one by you.

[jaust]

would be suuuuper sweet if someone could upload marks video to vimeo, since i can only watch this in poor quality without sound (not available in germany...)

apart from this, absolutely sick skills, mark. and also i think your intro should be used for the next calendar

Yo hey what up howdy YEAHHH!!! I'm so amped right now! This calendar has been kicking major H-E Double Hockey Sticks.. Wait.. no I mean, ASS, this calendar has been kicking ass. Let's help it continue to kick ass by adding some Dante Diotallevi and Greg Raymond from Kingston, ON, Canada. These guys "kick ass". This video is "kick ass". Let it "kick your ass".

In addition, a very short, but REALLY incredible footbag video from Chris Landorfer. He messaged me with this video and I simply had to get it in here. You'll know why. It's pretty "cool".

Hit it, maestro!
