Hacky Sack Picture.

[Maggot6]

To those who don't play Freestyle Hacky sack, a "clipper" stall is where you catch the hacky sack behind your body, on the inside of your foot. There are terms such as "flying clipper" as to where you are in the air when you stall the hacky sack/footbag. I decided to take a picture of myself doing a flying clipper ;)

jump high enough??

we call them jesters up here, and I suck at them

[Archangel Kid]

I thought a jester was the same thing as a "clipper" stall but, not a stall. You just kick it instead of stalling.

I thought Hacky sack was somthing hippies did before having sex with trees.

[quick_spyder]

OMG! He lost his arm :eek:

[Maggot6]

Yeah, Jester is usually refered to as the kick....Yeah, I would hope my arm is behind my body, :ninja:

[Fred]

wow you got some ups... i havn't done that since college a few years ago... and was never very good at it.

[Dharma punk]

Call it what you want, but I call the pic a decent attempt at a photoshop. Your left shoe wouldn't be bent so dramatically at the toes if you were in the air.

[Pacifist_Farmer]

Why wouldn't the foot be bent if he just pushed off the ground? Wouldn't his toe be the last thing to leave the Earth? Besides when was the last time you came down from a jump flat footed?

The foot thing aside it does look completely photoshopped.

[Muzikman]

Well, the photo was edited in PhotoShop CS2.

I am not saying that it is photoshopped beyond resizing, but looking at it closely, if it is, he did a great job. The lines are perfect, the lighting is perfect.

Bottom line, if it's a doctored photo, he spent way too much time on it.

I think we now demand video. ;)

His toe is bent like he is standing on it... I think its fake :cuss:

[RoamingStorm]

points to fake-
the ridiculous size of his jump
angle of his toe being bent
hair not moving for jumping in the air - lack of bathing maybe?

points to real
shoelaces hanging below the shoe!!
great lighting and lines

personally I dont think that its real now that I look at it, when you blow it up it just doesnt look like it belongs

[geekwarrior]

photoshop for sure

like mentioned, his toe looks like theres pressure being applied down

that and not enough movement on the shirt for that height, sleevs should be going up or down...

[beam]

Not to kick a dead horse, but his calf muscle also looks very tensed for having just jumped in the air.

Try jumping and pointing your toes out perpendicular to your legs like they are when you are standing...it feels very unnatural. Usually, your toes will point down toward the ground.

[geekwarrior]

that being said, you did a good job of cutting yourself out :p

[FooTemps]

Really clean shop. The only things I see wrong are the toe, the lack of physics, and your calf.

[rkjunior303]

There's no way that's a photoshop

[gibby]

Who said white men can't jump!?! Jordan's got nothing on this guy! If you can jump that high, you're playing the wrong sport! :D

BTW, shouldn't there be at least a hint of a shadow?

/me not convinced.

[geekwarrior]

There's no way that's a photoshop


because? you can do amazing things in photoshop...I know

[Maggot6]

Buahaha, the wink face in the origonal post is to see if anyone would notice I got 4 feet of air, and my foot was definety orginonally on a ladder from my garage.. Great to see I actually fooled someone for more than 2 seconds :)

*edit

And if it wasn't photoshopped, why would I bother making a thread about it ;)

Good job on that, it looks pretty cool actually....thanks for coming clean :bounce:

[Maggot6]

Yeah, I was waiting to come "clean" after I got home from work (Wake up = 5:25AM, get home = 6:40PM...)

[thecavemankevin]

i'd like to see the original
