Willie Rips the Port of Sacramento

Tales from the Foot’s west coast correspondent SacFooter sent us a video that he produced exclusively for Tales from the Foot.

SacFooter has the privilege to ski with Willie Farrell fairly regularly and has posted about his experiences before (link). While those of us in the midwest were suffering through a cold, windy and rainy October, they were blessed with blue skies and calm water in the Sacramento area. On one of those days SacFooter took his camera along and he’s put together a little video for us to…

Watch Willie Farrell rip up the Port of Sacramento as he puts on a clinic on how to barefoot trick and slalom.

Thanks for the video SacFooter!!!

Barefoot Crashes, Wipeouts, Faceplants and Headers

Posted in talesfromthefoot.com1 Comment

Everyone loves to see the really cool tricks and new barefoot moves that are out there. When done correctly, they are pretty awesome. When not done right, they are a completely different type of awesome, as in awesome crashes.

Sacfooter, a friend of the Tales from the Foot website, put together quiet the crash video and forwarded to me. It features Roy (aka SacFooter), Andy, Dave, Willie (Farrell), Zack and Craig. They are all pretty good footers, and this video shows the attempts at some of the really cool moves and tricks that didn’t go quite right, proving that 1) they aren’t easy to do and 2) learning them requires a lot of dedication. Here’s his description of the video from YouTube:

Ouch! That’s what you’ll say after you see this video! This video was compiled by popular demand. You out there in youtube land demanded the crashes, and here they are. OK, so SacFooter has been holding out on you. That’s right, it is not always smooth and easy in barefoot land. Here are the wipeouts, the footage that did not make it into the videos.

Enjoy!
