Another new guy!

Post by Jack Stutler » 28 May 2008 13:24

Hey all. I've been lurking around here reading and reading for about a week now. Started working on my basics the past couple of days, got my toes stalls down pretty well, insides are 50/50.

Anyways, I ordered myself some Lavers which should be getting here around friday or early next week (yay! :) ). I plan on doing the generic toe box mod, but what i'm wondering is if I should even worry about modding the inside/outside of the shoes. Being my first pair I'm still a little reluctant to do the toe box mod.

I realise this is probally kind of a silly/noobish question for you guys but any advice would be much appreciated.


ps: any twin cities shredders out there? :)

HI THERE

toe box mod is necessary and absurdly easy, inside / outside mod is neither of those things.
BRICK!

You'd be even more surprised how infinitely better proper footbag shoes are. I can barely do a 4 contact tiltless string in my casuals.

aye, eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Lavers. should be getting here any time from tomorrow though the end of next week (hopefully, fingers crossed)

apparently as a thank you from my mom for taking care of my little brother for a couple days so she could do her own thing for a bit she ordered me a pair of Q2's :D

can't wait to get those

Dude, some people have the coolest parents. Wait, you have TWO pairs of footbag shoes on their was right now and they're your FIRST two pairs ever? Wow.
