well hania said that the footbag should have come by now, and something is probably wrong, so shes sending another bag :? oh well..

Anyways just had a sweet session i hit legover>legover>mirage>butterfly
and mirage>butterfly>pdx mirage! i was very very happy! its really cool how alot of my friends are into footbag! Also i saw tom posted his footbag shoe, couldnt really see though cuz the photos are like 100000 pixles x50000 pixels hehe :wink: still though, thats really awesome Tom, i cant wait for the finished product!

well ben, u have gotten me inspired to do symp mirages lol, which is really good actually cuz i shoud start to work on symposium, legover is getting better and better which i am very happy about butterflies i am very happy about because even though i hadnt played in a while they are veerryy solid. Mirage is also going well, now though im trying to hit dimwalk, and im working on my pixe/fairy mainly pixie though. the main thing for my legover is timing the dex, cuz when i mis it i always under/overshoot and i just need to get a faster pickup dex i assume. also im really worried about my peng bag, my tom bag is awesome and totally broken in but my peng is like definitely not broken in, u can squish my tom down all the way and kick it twice and it turns spherical but not so with my peng, it just pancakes and flies all around, is it thick colors? i'll start lotioning it i guess.. the colors are sunny sienna dark jade and atlantis i've had it scince march 30th, so it SHOULD be broken in but isnt! oh well i think my hania is supposed to come on saturday, i just hope it gets gere im done with waiting! lol alos finals are coming soon, idk if i can shred today, i really hope i can but i dont even need to study for my history, i KNOW i'll ace it, but i do need to study for math so im definitely gonna do that, oh well gotta go now!

yeah it should be fine, anyone got any ideas on what i should do with the peng bag?

todays shred was well only thirty minuites but sweet! my mirages are like perfect form and im ridiculously happy because i realized al i had 2 do was always stay over the bag, and im hitting 'em like crazy! alos my legover improved a ton just due to that concept! (and also pickup) im working on same side butterflies now and im so happy at how much i am improving! im really proud of my form, i think i dont look as much of a n00b and i look a ton more controlled in short, it was a very good day:)

I've heard a lot of problems coming from Peng bags lately. They turn pancake once they're broken in like that, i think. Me and Chris Miller have concluded that it may be the filler inside, but I haven't had my new Peng bag to break-in yet to actually make any more critical remarks.

I guess if you take out the original filler and fill it with steel shot size #6-7 and plastic pellets, it should be fine. Personally, I need to see it for myself to do anything about it.

well it happened after five weeks of first considering a hania bag, ordering it, and reordering it! suprisingly enough i found that they came, yes that was the bonus, i got one for free! and wow these bags feel soooooo awesome!! thank you so much hania the bags are great :wink: :P :) :D 8) i love the feel and think they will break in soon

here are the photos!

as usual these photos dont do the bag much justice, but the stitching is great! and the colors are vibrant

finals lately, havent shred inn a while, but will be able to tomorrow! also i might be able to shred over the summer with matt cross and his rochester crew! sweeetttt...

Have you talked with Hania about this yet? If it were me, I wouldn't be so joyous to have two bags. I mean, the first one came in intact, correct? It's only fair to give back the second one imo.

oh no it wasnt in two packages, and i would ask hania if i should give the bag back but you know how she was talking about a bonus? that was the bonus, two bags in one package, i wouldnt like "steal" from her without asking her, and i would probably send money any ways but there were two in one package, so dont worry about that 8)

well i was really sad poland lost IN THE LAST MINUTE! i bet hania's really sad too :(anyways, i took some weight out of my Hania bags and now they're reaally super even though they are a bit rolly, but i've never played with a bag that small, so of course there gonna be more rolly than the other bags i have! anyways i've been re-learning tricks cuz i havent been able to shred alkot lately:( i mean its not taking long or anything just a little obstacle in the way :? but these bags are wicked sweet, i just need to regain the good form i had, and start shredding everyday (about) like normal! oh well england play tomorrow..cant wait!!
