Thanks Olaf. Although I don't agree with you about what you said about doing what you like, and not do what people say. That's a very interesting topic on a couple of matters.
First - I don't know anybody who would do just what they like. I don't know anybody who would play footbag just for themselves. If they would, they certainly wouldn't have a footblog, nor would they write much on Modified. Their game would be sooo much different that the normal game you see in circles. And they wouldn't play guiltless for sure. So every player you see on Modified are playing with certain bounds in their game. John Schneider is a good example from an independent player though, with all those rolls and stuff.
Secondly - I can't believe there still aren't any full time Genuine players in this scene. Guiltless just seems to be safe and acceptable. The best of the best just do what they like and stick to Guiltless, because no-one dares to demand better performance. It's really not that hard to get rid of bailing habits, like toe set Butterfly and Osis-move>Infinity. What would push the pros to the next level? I've been suggesting some players to do at least some Genuine runs in their videos, but still I haven't really seen them.
I think Genuine is a great "guarantee" for your runs to be at least mediorce all the time, since there's no fooling around with BOPS. The viewer can sustain interest in Genuine runs longer. I understand playing Genuine feels "dangerous" for those players who like their run to have these "flashes" like hard link-bops-hard link-bops, since the possibility of dropping with BOPs replaced with Genuine tricks is much greater. But how cool is that when you do those hard links in Genuine run? I never like long stuffed runs anyway. "Flashy" as Clavens calls it, is my thing
Moving on to Genuine takes some practice for sure. You need to relearn bail moves. Like replacing Infinity with Pdx Whirl and Barfly, so that it's a reflex.
Actually I've been working on some Genuine bails lately. Lots Blenders for example (You can see me dropping lots of Blenders in my latest few videos, so I guess I need some more practice...). I want to be able to play Genuine with ease in circles some day.
[EDIT: Should I start a thread in general footbag about this?]
I've had flu since Tuesday, so no footbag... bah! But I'd say I've earned this break.
Statement of the day: Give people what they like, not what they expect.
). Sellanen että jaksaa vielä setata. 
Not really sure how that happened, but my lower back is still in pain, I hope it goes away by tomorrow.
