This routine was the highlight for myself and countless other people I talked to at and around NZ Nationals 2005. Thanks Johnny for making my day and so many others. I hope you don't mind what I say next...
Johnny was about to die at the stage he started his routine - I had to run upstairs and get him out of the bathroom for the routines as he hadn't had any sleep the night before from partying so hard. Usually he would have planned an awesome routine but I (SO BLAME ME) moved routines forward to the Saturday when they were originally going to be on the Sunday (this was for the overall success of the event and I had consensus from all competitors first).
So Johnny made up that routine on the spot, after splashing water on his face to wake himself up (and a few redbulls) completely in order to impress the crowd with something he KNEW would work - for the crowd, to publicise the sport and for me as organiser - as the event wasn't going as well as I had planned - again all of this was for other people, I don't think Johnny even cared if he came first or last. That said, everyone afterwards was stunned by how amazing it was.
Even using Johnny in the same sentence as Ryan scares me, they are both really good at footbag and that is about it.
I am not trying to offend anyone but think it is never a good idea to mouth off about something you know nothing about - except probably in the rap battles
This is not what footbag is about.
Peace,
Floyd
