Hahahhaha, Wong <3. I'll have to tag you back :lol: 8)

Knee started hurting, so I just did mirages and clippers. My clippers need a reform.

I was playing around with pixies and noticed my right foot was doing good, so for the heck of it I tried PLO and it rolled off my foot. After trying for a bit I hit it! I'm acuatly not the pysched probably because I was expecting that I was gonna hit it.

Nice pixie legover! Not only was it clean, it was cool looking. Now you gotta hit it flipside soon so you can start doing consecutive PLOs. :D

Knee was still sketchy, did a light shred.

Hit:
-7 mirages flipside
-7 mirages strongside

I found out if you acuatly "plant", they may be easier.

Tried pixie legover on flip, pixies need work.
Tried DLO, kinda close.

I finally got my Peng bag today. The beast is full and tiny! Then I realized it needs to be broken in. Stitching is excellent it looks like and the footbag is soft. Its purple and green, very sweet. I had her pick out the colors and everything.

I think I post too much :P

Session started off bad, was pretty frustrated. I put on some music which made me relaxed and I had a good session afterall. I didn't have music past 2 days, maybe thats why I did bad?

Messed with:
-Ducking legover, almost
-Whirl :D (didn't even come close to footing it)

Been working on strings, hit:
-mirage> legover> mirage> legover> mirage (Zach inspiration)
-mirage> pickup> mirage> pickup> catch

Mirages are so nice now because they take little effort.

I shreded today. I mean, I SHREDED. Just not do a few tricks then drop, there strings were lasting like 1/2 minute with like 5 contacts of tiltless stuff in them. I was hitting drills midstring and all. Can't wait till like next week to see what I am like! My atws are getting a lot more controlled. I can do the atw in>out atw> stuff pretty easy now on both sides. Clippers are slightly better. I think I can do stepping. Just don't know for sure until I can hit something out of it.

I found out I've been hitting difter all wrong. The timing screws me up 80% of the time. I'm supposed to turn my body 90 degrees or something instead of jumping diagonal. That's probably why I could barely stall the clipper.

In school we had a pushup contest (on friday). Three teams had to pick one person to go up and do as many as they can do in 30 seconds. I volunteered for my group and got 40, first place got like 44. My pecks hurt :P

Peng bag still needs breaking in. My sets are so much nicer with it.

That is all.

I'm sorry, but that was kinda random :wink: :P

Hahaha but keep up the drillin' and what not, I'm tellin' ya, the more you play, the more familar your body becomes with all the movement and timing, the more tricks become easier, the more tricks become easier, the longer strings become :D

I SHREDED today again. I feel like I'm getting up in the ranks.

Hit:
- mirage> atw> legover> repeat> illusion> legover> toes toes toes> catch
-mirage> pickup> repeat

I hit lots of 5 and 6 tiltless strings, can't remember them though. Clippers are getting better. Had a handfull of butterfly bsos stuff.

And.... I had a break through in my left ankle crank! 8)

Midterms sucked today. Had math and physics. Some multiple choice math problems took forever, and they wern't even worth that much.

Anywyas... I started shredding today and I WAS going to hit fairy legover and datw but my friends came and kidnapped me for a movie production (non footbag related).

I also bought an IFPA account. I love paypal.

Dun Dun Dun!

Okay, midterms sucked today except for engineering. I know you guys were dieing to know how I did :lol:

Anyways, footbag stuff!

I removed the inside canvas from my lavers, only insides though. Its a lot thinner, its kinda like sleeping naked. I don't feel much of a difference though, maybe because I have thick insoles and arch support.

Hit:
-mirage> atw> legover> repeat > pickup > pickup = 8 contacts all unique! (I'm trying to go for pickup> illusion> repeat at the end to make 10 contacts)
-butterfly> mirage

Footed:
-fairy legover 3 times.

Tried:
Atomic legover (Eggbeater (legover after illusion)). I found out you have to keep your atomic leg closer to the bag before the dex and you can't do it leggy. If I hit this, this will be my sick 1.

dude, atomic is my favorite set by far. totally learn it! just set low, start with your legs right next to each other, then as soon as you set, drop the setting foot to the ground while the knee of the dexing leg twists up and in. easy! :wink:

i just figured out that you are going for it all downtime which is even cooler i think. i still think learning the atomic set is pretty easy (i learned it far before i hit eggbeater all downtime), but props if you hit eggbeater...not an easy trick. for that i also recommend keeping the bag close to your body.


i cut the canvas on the inside and outside of my old lavers...didnt notice much difference either aside from them feeling flimsier, which i didnt appreciate. but what i DID appreciate was the toe canvas mod...if you havent tried it yet, i hugely recommend it. my current pair of lavers only has the toe canvas mod (no walls :)) and a nice broka mod. solid!

90 min shred, here's what went down:

Hit:
-butterfly> mirage BS, almost BSOS
-butterfly> infinity! = my first 3>3

I kept starting with my strong butterfly and I kept footing the infinity, and then I tried it with my other side and I got it in two seconds :P

butterfly> infinity> mirage wouldn't be a bad sick 3
