Re: mc

I had a fine session with NYFA the other day. It was just me, Drew Martin, and Bruce Dole. We also had a guest join us for a while; he said he’d seen us before and had wanted to play. He could do toe stalls, clippers, and in-out around the worlds with good form. That’s always a treat. Good-weather S...

Re: mc

Daniel, I found them to be an easy transition. The toe delay sweet spot is larger by far than lavers (at least with my lacing style, which pulls parts back like traditional lacing) and the inside is good with a little silicone caulk. Most other people remove the inside surface stripes (but not the u...

Re: mc

I have returned to using Climacools, as they are lighter and softer than Lavers. As I slowly get used to playing again, my knees need a break. The Ivan footbag that Tom Gartland gave me for my 40th birthday has been playing well :twisted: It's great to have a new bag! Makes me want to do some stitch...

Re: mc

Thanks Daniel! Consecutives were around 3,300 last time I tried. It's been a few weeks, but I've been meaning to give it another go.

Re: Rochester, New York Footblog

I miss you guys! I'm getting a little bit of my game back, and I just read/browsed this blog start-to-finish over the last day or two. It's been amazing reading over so many experiences that I haven't thought of in years. I don't know if any of you will read this but I love you guys :)

Re: mc

oof, I am sore today! LOL footbag is a much different experience at 40 than it is at 20. Still, yesterday was a lot of fun. Jonathan Schneider came to my gig at The Keep and we had a fine time B) I've just read through this blog. Lots of memories that were fun to read over. Also, lots of moves and c...

Re: mc

Good session today in McCarren Park. Jonathan Schneider, Bruce Dole, Drew Martin, David Beyers, and Tom (the new guy) showed up for a good solid kick. I got more sweat playing than I have in a long while. I stopped using nicotine a few weeks ago and my breathing is getting easier. I got a few Jani w...

Re: mc

So true, Boyle!

Fortunately, competitions have rules that take care of which decision you make (stop string or keep going). So I had intended to ask about personal values outside of those rules. Thank you for your input my brother!

Re: mcnyc

Hey Folks! Short session earlier today. Only about 15 minutes - little bit worn from playing every day for the first time in 10 years ;) I have a poll - If you make a mistake in the middle of a trick, is it better to let the bag drop because it didn't do what you intended (thereby not reinforcing ba...

how long, o lord, how long? what horrors and delights we've seen. what masks we've worn, how many people have we been? What? Hey guys, Matt here. Just getting back into hacky sack. Daniel Boyle suggested that I do what I'm doing right now. I've been spinning myself a yarn about getting back into foo...

Fine, Nick. You want this conversation to be about what YOU want it to be about? You want to criticize me for not having the conversation that you want me to have? You expect me to read your mind about what you want the conversation to be, and then face the consequences if I don't have it, because "...

Re: Systemic Bigotry: Manifestations and Preventative Measur

or how about just "immature people"? I'm somewhere on the queer spectrum, and I think we can all agree...

Re: Systemic Bigotry: Manifestations and Preventative Measur

let's not be sexist, Cassy.

Pasquarello, if you're shut out of this conversation, it's because your mouth is shut. I have been WAITING for you to open your mouth and contribute more. The reason that this conversation has devolved to something between Polini and I is that we are the only ones talking about it. That said, I'm su...

I went to that post above, because I wanted to delete it. Then, I couldn't. Then, I thought, and remembered that sometimes it's not helpful to delete things just because I am embarrassed of the fact that I said them. I'm embarrassed that I said that. I'm sorry that I said that. I will be conscious o...

Re: Systemic Bigotry: Manifestations and Preventative Measur

So. here's Nick's idea of a corrected video: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOmMQFk0tEM[/youtube] He put an image of a big crybaby at the beginning of it. That was my favorite part. To him, I say, You know, Nick, I'm just so proud of how far you've come on all this… It's really impressive t...
