Hey. I'm Danny Williams. I don't think most people know me, since I only posted in the RCS blog and other topics, but yeah. I decided to start a footblog so I can measure my progress from here on out.

Anyways, an introduction(ish)

I learned about footbag in late 2002 from my buddy Erik Sedarholme. He used to go to the highschool I went to (mountlake terrace high school) but then he went to another highschool (Inglemoor High School). There he met Ricky Moran. And well... Ricky was pretty big back in the day. So erik learned from him, and erik taught me and my buddy, Josh. After awhile, we started a footbag/hacky sack club. Soon, that caught the attention of Justin Dale.

I didn't really get serious into footbag until about late 2005. I've had to stop afew times due to injuries, but i'm back and shredding harder than ever.

So thats me. Read, Post, help me out, and be cool!

I'm gone. peace

Zac, thats gross. I laughed, though.

I played capture the flag yesterday. Decided to run in my lavers and such. Didn't work to great, seeing as i slipped and skidded my knees on rocky ground and landed on my head/neck.

so now my are all scuffed up, and the right side of the back of my neck hurts a bit. I'll probably still play tomorrow anyway.

but today, I watch 300 and Hot Fuzz.

Was supposed to play today, but it turns out since my buddy is going to Seaside, Or. For a week, he needs to hang out with his girlfriend all day.

Anyways,

One of my friends buddy, skyler, is gonna start playing footbag. I think thats really cool, since he is learning it at a young(ish) age(14).

Hopefully he'll stick with it. Maybe even start a footbag club at the highschool so there is a place to kick indoors during the winter :lol:

I have cable internet now! Fuck 56k! It sucked!

no highlights there, really.

it was skylers first day playing and he progressed a lot. got toe stalls down pretty well. inside stalls are descent, but need some work.

cory was doing the normal cory stuff. so it was cool

i had a session later when i got home.

i found my ipod! wooo! no more people making an hero jokes towards me.

still sick.

may have an ear infection. dang.

played today. even though i was sick, still played well.

pdx drifter flip. think i got the hang of it. kind of shitty, but will work more on drifters when healthy.

tried pigbeater bare-foot. got close most of the time. forgot to try on my flip until the end. came reaaaly close. but that doesn't matter. i should hit it.

got bored, and started watching Naruto episodes online. I am now caught up with everyone in Japan, i believe. not sure, though. fuckin' crazy shit goes down.
