I think he's there for a couple of months - great opportunity to kick with one of the best in the business.
Re: Wyrmfyre's Blog - Size 12 Lavers?
First day back to work after having ten straight days off I played for 8 of them. I feel like the cobwebs have been more than shaken off now. Ive lost 5lb over 5 weeks, which isn't a lot as an average, but im more interested in maintaining the "losing" bit over the quantity. Ive got a camera full of footage to have a scan through, but off the top of my head a few of my "highlights" for the holiday were
Getting ridiculously close to landing my first and second 3 dex tricks. This was during a barefoot session with my laver-less friend. I hit some other, smaller tricks barefooted too.
Ducking clipper, B2B. Prior to my hiatus, this had eluded me for too long. Being strict with myself and making myself practice flip clipper has really paid off. And by practice, I mean properly, not in that half-assed "ohh, I gave it two tries" way that beginners like myself are probably a bit guilty of
Getting more involved in local and community groups on Facebook. At least 20, or 30, or maybe a whole lot more people have at least heard the word "footbag" now.
Stitched a bag out of some really cheap micro-suede-ish stuff, filled it with BBs, gave it to a friend, and then watched in awe two days later when he came round and hit ATW in front of me. Picked my jaw up off the floor when after watching me just once, he then footed Switch.
That'll do for now. I could rattle on for ages, but the daily grind is calling me back

An estimated 9000 people will be in my town tommorow, as part of the Mablethorpe Illuminations Weekend. Im gonna make it nine thousand, and one. Never mind Worlds, this is where the real action is at....
Re: Wyrmfyre's Blog - Size 12 Lavers?
Meh.... So apparently I have a trapped nerve, most likely caused by the fact that my dining table and chairs don't make good office furniture for extended use. The dull ache, I can get used to. What I don't like is the every-now-and-then feeling that 50,000 volts have suddenly been shoved up my *BLEEP*. On the upside, i have now stitched 5 footbags to almost-completion, just waiting on a delivery of filler.
What sucks the most, is that this past weekend has been really, really sunny, and I cant make good use of it

Sorry to hear about the shitty trapped nerve. That sucks man. Can you still play at all? Hope you can and if you can't, I hope it heals up quick. It's looking good, keep kicking man!
Re: Wyrmfyre's Blog - Size 12 Lavers?
Still feels kinda tight, but there's yet another beach event tommorow, and the weather is very promising, so hopefully this one wont be a total flop like the last two. Ill have to keep it simple; lots of the basic stalls with the odd osis > far switch or ducking clippers thrown in, but that should be enough. *crosses fingers*
