Nice, man. Read most so far and I like your progressions. Are you in high school? If so I remember those days of my kicking career. And if there was one thing I would change, I'd go back to basics and drilldrilldrill, stay with your foundation as long as humanly possible! for the love of god.

But keep it up. Drifters are fun and look really smooth if done right. I recently went back to my foundations and found that drilling into moves like drifter will improve much more then just your drifters. EX drill set: 5 min clipper to clipper, then 5 min mirage from clipper(not pdx) each side. 5 min drifter to drifter. Repeat set twice. 40 mins on just drilling drifter in that way, will grind it into your brain. This also helps to learn your whirls and blenders. It also works your body, as a build up towards the move. Moves are just concepts stringed together. Break it down. Drill it down.

Try doing swirls on your inside first to get the motion, then crossbody it. I have yet to hit swirl myself but many of people have told my that root to get there.

But im sure you have a shred plan that works for you. Ive been trying to get mine hardcore, was wondering how this drill approach might work for other people. Try my drill concept, and if you don't like it, return it to me at no extra cost :D

I was'nt able to make it out to this weekends session, but this wednesday me and 2 others are gona shred. and hopefully this weekend i will be able to make it out to a session with some people.

someone is sending me a sandbag which is really nice of them, hopefully I get it before the weekend, so me and the guys can test that bag boy out...

I have'nt been able to shred much, I've been going to a lot of concerts and now I have 3 bands that I play Lead Guitar in, and It's been extremely hectic writing music for all 3 of them... 2 of my bands are playing a show this month, CANT WAIT!!! :D

Concerts I've been too recently...

:arrow: Bayside
:arrow: I Am The Avalanche
:arrow: Between The Buried And Me (This Thursday) SO STOKED!!!

I hope this wednesday I can bust some long runs... I would love to get 10 guiltless :roll:

Had a session today with some friends :D

bags used...

:arrow: Erik Chan 32 p
:arrow: Andre 6 p
:arrow: One of my bags 32 p

Surprisingly, everyone was going crazy over my bag. They said it was "amazing"...

I guess I'm making dope bags now :D


::Highlights::

:arrow: Symposium Mirage>Ducking Butterfly>Infinity>Infinity>ss DLO!!!
:arrow: Ducking Drifter from Clipper!!!

First 5 add^^^

From what I'm aware, if you clipper set ducking drifter without planting the dexing leg, its paradox :D

Can we say... "5 adds in 5 months??"

Whats my 6 months trick? lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll give it a shot:

:arrow: consec mirage record
:arrow: consec legover record
:arrow: consec pickup record
:arrow: freestyle for 5-10 minutes
:arrow: consec infinity record
:arrow: consec illusion record
:arrow: consec ducking clipper record
:arrow: freestyle for 5-10 minutes
:arrow: legover>mirage>rpt record
:arrow: legover>illusion>rpt record
:arrow: butterfly>pdx mirage>rpt record
:arrow: freestyle for 5-10 minutes
:arrow: osis, keep trying it (although it sucks cuz I could probably get you hitting them consistently in person but it's tough to do in text)
:arrow: drifter bs, bsos, b2b
:arrow: whirl bs, bsos, b2b
:arrow: Attempt a new move or concept that you think is cool, give it a few tries
:arrow: tiltless contact record
:arrow: guiltless contact record

I basically listed them in what I thought would be easiest to hardest, so the best way to approach it is in that order during the session. I always like to end my sessions trying to break a couple contact records. If there's anything you've already done or think is too hard, I may be somewhat out of touch with your game. Good luck.

I had a session 2 days ago, first one in maybe a month... I just wish it wasnt so cold outside, because lately I've been craving a session, but its just unbearably cold outside. I hope it gets warmer, and I hope I will still enjoy the sport during the summer. I still love footbag, and the few footbaggers that have been nice and helpful during my time as a footbagger. Thanx everyone. And feel free to leave me some messages to keep me motivated to play this sport. Or even if you just wana say Hi... Go for it.

Yeah we should definitely shred. I looked at your video from a little while back and I think you're in my gym lol last period right? I don't know anybody who freestyles near us either everyone just wants to play peg or circle kick.

That bag is sick, by the way.
