Freestyle videos of June 2016

June had fewer freestyle videos than April and May, nevertheless there were at least a few and they are worth it! Here we go:

 

Pirates from Brighton welcomed their first international guest – Tim Pattberg from Cologne – with heinous jams. Check it out!

 

 

Ayal Benin continues to record his jammories from all around the world. This time he visited Freiburg in Germany where freestyle obviously thrives.

 

 

Do you remember the roof jam videos (Sunrise and Sunset) of James and Daniel? This time the same guys crushed another roof of New York City and the outcome is definitely worth watching. You can also consider it as a pre-words teaser.

 

 

Tutorials

 

Learning the nail delay is always much easier when you use the plastic nail. However attaching nails with super glue can be sometimes a little scary, especially for beginners and kids. In the following video Mike Galloupe will show you how to create the “newbie nail” which is really easy to use for anyone!

 

 

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed watching all these cool videos. We’ll be back with more next month!

FREESTYLE VIDEOS OF MAY 2016

May is over so it is time to see what freestyle videos has emerged and enjoy them all at one place.

 

You have probably already seen the new Spread the Jam Project video featuring Czech jammer Pavel Baranyk. It has been posted before so if you want to rewatch it just click the previous link.

 

Coming also from James’s video workshop, here is a nice casual jam of two german jammers – Nötzi from Berlin and Harry from Cologne. The spot is the “Berlin beach” – old Tempelhof airport, now used as a public space where people are doing a wide variety of different sports.

 

 

The most productive videographer of May 2016 has definitely been Ayal Benin who visited United Kingdom and apparently jammed a lot! Here are four videos of his jams in London and Brighton together with local players.

 

 

 

 

 

And as usually here we have a shred-full video of Claudio Cigna practicing at his favourite spot. Mad stuff!

 

 

Tutorials

Matt has been very busy making following tutorial videos which are very important for spreading the jam and appreciated by the whole community. First there are two rather beginner tutorials – how to self throw with high zzz’s and how to rim delay. These are really essential for people who are starting to learn to freestyle.

 

 

 

And here we have a useful tip for advanced players – two part tutorial showing how to cove. Matt really knows his stuff!

 

 

 

Other videos worth mentioning

>> Super nice jam of Cologne jammers. Really great edit.

>> Manu talking about freestyle frisbee at Paganello 2016 with some nice shots of jam action.

 

 

Hope you enjoyed all the videos. Now go jam and shoot your own cool freestyle video. And don’t forget to share it with us all. Zzz ya next month.
