[@sulten7290]

@@samsimms4403 bro was talking about the spin.

[@BigSources]

That isn't even the impressive part about the footstomp. Everytime the ball bounces the EXACT same amount of times as before and the time difference between bounces is absolutely minimal, meaning that the slightest amount of wrong timing can destroy absolutely everything, he also needs to make sure to stomp the ball with the exact same force everytime or else EVERYTHING will be wrong. Absolute perfection.

[@aljon5947]

4:27 you could see the spin is affecting the bounce of the ball a lot here.

the amount of bounces before he catches the ball shows how straight he has to throw the ball for it to not bounce out of the triangle... and that's mad accurate consider he's constantly moving, just wow.

I agree. I think that it's kind of narcissistic. I feel like the attitude of these people who are loud during live performances is to project out that they understood how remarkable what they're seeing is, or that they got the joke, etc. In lots of recent live performances these have been really common occurrences. Not so much of letting the performer do their act unimpeded. People have a right to do whatever they want, but I'm just calling it out for how I see it.

The KZbin algorithm uses a video and looks at a series of descriptors for each and recommends you videos to maximize your viewing time.
