We had a pretty good session this evening at Market Square where we usually kick. Cody hit some crazy stuff, but I told him he had to get on here and post himself, so I'll leave that to him. Jason's atomic and quantum sets are great; he hits quantum same and op butterfly, toe blue, legbeater and ato...

Just so you know, flat feet are absolutely not something you "get" from anything; posture, walking style or anything else. They are 100% genetic and you cannot get rid of them. I was in super high end athletic shoe sales for a long time and interacted on an hourly basis with all multitudes of foot p...

I don't smoke/drink personally due to various reasons but have no problem whatsoever with those who do. Honestly, it is harder (despite marked protests issuing forth from those who do smoke) to do anything requiring coordination whilst intoxicated on most any psychoactive chemical than it is without...

Throw in some paradox illusions in place of mirage in a bunch of the aforementioned drills for something different, you'll have more uniques as well as working your muscles for eventually adding atomic stuff. Also, the best pixie drill for me was (and is) plo > smear rpt. or plo > plo.

I'm hitting stepping set stuff some now; blur bsos, ripwalk bsos, blizzard strong side; and some atomic stuff strong side; atom smasher, eggbeater, and legbeater. What are some good drills to help improve these sets and to get my weak side atomic better? I've noticed that flail is suddenly easy on m...

Glad you all had fun at worlds, wish I could have been there. The bag Cody got from you is the best bag I've ever kicked with, I love it. You all have to get up here or I'm going to need to have you send me one. It would be great to shred with some other people, so if you can't make it here we can d...

KFA represents!

This is the new blog for the KFA, aka the Knoxville Footbag Association. We are using this to keep track of sessions and so we can all post new stuff and challenge each other; if anyone else wants to comment please do! We had a four and a half hour shred today in the 95+ degree weather in TN; we wis...

Back again! This time for good.

I just started playing agian about two months ago after another long absence due to lack of other people to shred with. I have moved into an area (Knoxville, TN) where I can actually shred with other people! It's great and shredding with the Knoxville Footbag Association (KFA) has really helped my g...

Great! I'll let everyone know and make sure they'll be around to shred when you are all visiting. I'll also find out how many bags we need and let you know so you'll both have time to make them. Thanks again!

Hi and bags.

Hey everyone, I'm Brian, one of the knoxville footbag folks. I've been playing on and off (mostly off) since 01 or 02 due to the fact that I could never find anyone else to shred with. Thanks to the KFA that has been taken care of, and I have been shredding a couple times a week for a couple months ...

Had a session yesterday and today, yesterday was pretty good, today I was really sort and my shin splits were killing me. I hit a bunch of 20 + tiltless strings, hit 27 to break my record of 24, then hit 28 twice, a bunch of other mid 20's strings, and today I hit 30 exactly! I was really pumped. My...

I went to Des Moines this weekend for a Particle concert, they were pretty impressive. Me and my brother shredded for a good deal of the show, and the manager of a Jimmy Johns told us to go to his store the next day for free subs cause he had never seen anything like it. I laughed and directed him t...

Man, I just read a post that had pictures of Vaseks ankles during clipper moves, and I think that kid is double jointed or something. I worked on really cranking my ankles for clippers and osis and it helped a lot. I'm getting really close to all three challenges I have not hit, so if anyone has any...

Ha ha. They look like they're designer hack shoes. Very Ralph Laurenish. If my wife gives me the ok for another pair of shoes I'm buying a pair just to see if they work.

Jesus, I've never really payed close attention to how much some people can twist their ankles. Man, mine do not twist anywhere near that far. I think my problem with osis is that my damn feet are not turned enough, I'll need to do some streches and really work on that. It has to be possible to gain ...

Did you seriously hit a pixie symposium quantum atomic set? Like all three dexes while the bag is traveling in an upward velocity? If so could you please try and get it on video; I've seen crazy videos like clown face and stuff, but that set is completly ridiculous. Hit a double down over from it an...

What, exactly, were you doing when the nerve hurt? And where exactly is the nerve? My only advice without knowing the answer to the previous questions is to practice without a hack to get the necessary balance down. You can also use place a book on the clipper foot; first practice balancing with it,...

I agree, I made the mistake of trying to learn tricks prior to being able to kick the footbag. It is important to build the muscle neccesary to do tricks and control setting the footbag through learning basic kicks (inside, toe, outside), then stalls (also inside, toe, and outside), and finally simp...
