24 dynos?? :O I think I've done the dyno > far dyno drill before, and I was super happy with that, lol. 24 is insane! Would love to see recent footage of you. I may have got the number wrong, but I think it is somewhere around there...but could have been 14? Ha. Thanks for the footage request. It h...

FOOTBAG My footbag tricks spreadsheet tells me that my record is 7 on one side and 6 on the other. I did have that in mind a bit today when we were playing, but I was struggling to hit anything today. A couple drill-y things that I hit today though were: -spinning clipper > ripwalk > gyro clipper >...

Another beauty combo! Can you do either of those tricks on your other side? I'm indifferent about the X rebrand. I'm not on Twitter so don't really care. To be honest though, I do admire Elon for spending his time doing the things he loves most. At least I think he loves everything he is doing... ED...

Erik you have my favorite footbag face out of everyone I think. Looking forward to seeing more of it.

I wanna go to Japan too! 10 days sound right. Could be a honey moon possibility as well. Yes I am getting married. I am also high jacking your footblog. Sorry about that. I really like this little thang here - gyro mirage > pixie muted op clip x2 And Dyno x15 is crazy. Oh shit! Asmus attack! Marria...

Great stuff! Dyno x15 is a lot!! Blender > pdx blender would be sick! Thanks! blender > pdx blender is a cool combo. I have been practicing blenders more so sooner than later should be hitting that combo (more) regularly. For visiting Japan, we'd probably come for 1 week minimum, maaybbe push it to...

I thought it was because of the pandemic...

I love hearing that you have been kicking. Great! Also good to hear you got yelled at for that ripwalk. You are like that mouse that gets shocked when eating cheese, but keeps going back for more...

Good run, that first trick was huge! Yeah I wish I could go to World's too...more generally speaking but also this year as well. As it turns out, I feel like in the near future I won't be able to attend, what with family and jobs and whatnot. Once things get settled down I would like to be able to h...

Congrats on the successful presentation! The travel sounds fun. We still plan to visit Japan for our honeymoon some day, but it's already been 3 years since our wedding -- flights are so expensive now! :cry: Bullet trains look insane! Thanks! Yes travel is fun for sure, although with a child it is ...

I have!! And also have a shred partner. But we struggle to have more then 1 sess a week due to out of control reasons. James is back in action!! Yay! Great to hear you are kicking, and that you have a shred buddy! Those make a world of difference. I have been on and off in winter but back to 1-3 se...

I read it too! Great write up Cass, probably the most in-depth write up since Ken stopped posting here. So happy to hear you are still kicking. I miss footbag events. There are some in Japan, but with a smallish baby to manage, I don't have much of a social life just yet. Regarding your knee, it sou...

That is great news! You can 'officially' Footbag again! Hoping for the best Erik. Don't push too hard! I definitely know how hard it is not to just bust big tricks after a long break.

Your shred is looking really good. Is that one of the benefits of COVID?

A 1-hour session is indeed a proper session. I remember talking with Honza years ago and he said when he kicks solo he goes hard for like 40 minutes, then stops.

Kumamoto was a success, although traveling with a baby is hard work. My presentation went well, and got to network a bit which was nice. It was really hot there, and even Maya was complaining, which is rare. We had a bunch of good food, saw Kumamoto castle, and got gifts for people. Yesterday I had ...

I haven't kicked this week (now Friday). Maya is out here visiting me, so when work is over, I have my father hat on and have no me time. I brought my gear to uni but haven't had the time to kick. I did a few ATWs yesterday in my office, but that is about it. We are going to Kumamoto this weekend, l...

That's not too surprising. Australia has been taking a lot of funding out of language and linguistics programs over recent years. It was supposedly going to be the "Asian Century" or something like that but those plans went by the wayside somewhere along the way. That sounds like NZ too. Victoria U...

I agree about the vlogging. It never caught on with me. I enjoy seeing scenes from Australia. I'd like to go there one day. Maybe I can find a conference there and spend like a week or so there... Do this. Would be fun to lineup a kick around something like that. I had a quick look at couldn't find...

Can I join this club too? My left side pixie set is way worse than the other side, though I feel I've improved it a bit in recent years.

Hmm. I'll have to talk to Erik first, but it should be ok...

You're so prolific with the vlog! I kind of wish I vlogged, but so that nobody saw it because I have nothing interesting to say lol. But it looks so fun the way you edit together your highlights! And not just the hacky. I agree about the vlogging. It never caught on with me. I enjoy seeing scenes f...
