sorry,couldn't fix the post above.Anyways iv'e been kicking since about mid-year 2002 but didn't start seriously playing footbag till around mid-year 2003. Im fairly close to guiltless and can easily hit tiltless runs with 3's and 4's. The tricks i want soon are:Barfly,blurry whirl,dimwalk swirl and barrage.My favourite tricks are:Paradon and butterfly swirl.I have hit three 5's:Phoenix,pixie ducking osis and pdx dada curve.Any pointers or tips are welcome at any time.

Hollllllly crap. You know its bad when your footblog is on the last page

i have decided to start posting in it again

Todays shred: I got my camera out and did some filming.
I hit:
Flip blurry whirl (bs but strong side got cut out)
Barfly (probably 10th time bt 1st on camera)
flip pdx whirl
pdx dlo

I have decided to go guiltless now so I gave some guiltless runs a go. I was averaging about 9contacts and my biggest was 16. My goal is 20+ contacts by the end of the week. My BOP's are pretty good as are my spins and ducks. I have been working whirls mainly though, as they suck ass.

Peace

EDIT: Feel free to post in here at any time

EDIT 2: It is official. I may no longer play in pumas. I have converted to lavers. It was bound to happen some time, but I dont know how long I will use the lavers. This was my second day with them and I dont really like the toe. They are second hand and all the mods have been done.

Nice that you're posting here again! Hope that you was shredin' hard by all the time of inactivity of your footblog.

I sure have been shredding hard. Im the Australian Intermediate Champion now. I am aiming for strong guiltless with in the next 3 or 4 months. I have a challenge blog as well so some challenges would be appreciated.

Hey Jesse great work on the guiltless runs! 16 contacts!!

Why did you decide to stop using Pumas? If you're gonna play in lavers full time you should look at getting some new ones if you can, as those old ones i gave you are heavier than the new style Lavers. And they are all modded eh
You might like them better unmodded and lighter.

*Jethro* · Post by ***Jethro*** » 20 Mar 2005 03:09

Yo Ian, thanks for da props. My guiltless runs are still quite BOP loaded, but I am adding variation as I get better.
I decided to stop using my blue pumas because they were getting very small, also I coloured in the lavers black, and they look sweet

But I dunno ay, the pumas served me well for a long time. I have a black pair, unmodded that I use for casual. I might just mod the black ones and buy some lavers for casual. Or just just by new lavers for shred.
I didn't kick today, but I'm gonna be on camp for the next 3 days so I wont be posting.

I hate strict camps! like one I went to you had to be in your room all alone at 10! You couldn't even chill with your roommates. It sucked.

But anyways your getting really good! keep it up!

Ahoy blog. Some bad stuff happened at camp. I was shredding after doing the high ropes, showing some of the teachers some moves and one of them asked me for my bag. I said no quite a few times because i didnt trust him, but stupidly, I gave in in the end

He took out a piece of gum from his mouth, stuck it on his shoe (which ironically are adidas clima cools) and put one of my oldest sand bags on there. (it was an aurora. I know Byrin uses one, and the stitcher has stopped stitching so now i cant even get a new one). Anyways, i didnt figure it out until he pulled it off his shoe, and i saw a long stretchy green thing on it. He was like "ah dont worry, i will just go to happy sack central and gey you an new one". He pulled the gum off and it has 2 holes in it now. At least it wasnt my abshire, which i accidently left at home. So i told him how much the bag cost, and that the stitcher doesnt stitch anymore and that i want a new bag. I am gonna make him buy me an awesome 32panel. I also forgot to take a camping mat, so when we camped out i slept on a massive stick.

Life is boring and gay at the moment. I got my report card from school today. It sucked donkeys balls. I only did well in like 3 subjects, which is a big fall from straight A's at the end of last year. My mum is blaming it on footbag, but i dont care.

I have been a Christian my whole life, and I feel as though im screwing up at the moment. I am kind of stuck in a groove and not moving anywhere and i need to do something about it. Maybe thats why im feeling so bad.

I doubt many people will read this, but I dont mind. If you do, feel free to post.

Anyways, highlight of my day was my shred session. Footbag always brightens things up

. I was just working on some links, atomic, flip pixie, and random stuff. 2 new moves came from it:
Flip assassin
Flip motion
I am hoping to hit my first 5>5 soon. Not sure what to try though. Something>phoenix or phoenix>something.

Anyways, I just lied to my mum and said i wasnt on the net so i should probably get off. Check out my challenge thread, cause I need some new challenges.
Thanks for reading this if you did.
Peace, Jesse.

chin up bro.

If life is boring and dull, then do something you enjoy doing.

And work on your school marks as well. I fucked them up in year 11 and fell into the abyss for about 3-4 years. i am only starting to get my shit together now.

Tell your mum to chill out. Say "hey mum, hagesy said to chill out."

it is all good.

*Jethro* · Post by ***Jethro*** » 24 Mar 2005 14:37

Thanks for the props Rory, I will try that move soon

As for Hagesy

That made me laugh hard man.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Well today is going to be boring. We have people coming to stay at our house, and our house is dirty as a monkeys ass. I have to help clean so there might not be any time for shreddin. Then again, there is always time for shreddin.
Peace, Jesse.

Thanks Alex!
Well i had a shred today. Maybe a bit over an hour and I was skoolin my atomics, they are getting way better. I decided to try sailing, and I hit sailing butter BS!!! i came pretty close to dominatrix bs aswell. I hit the moves barefoot but I could easily hit it with shoes i reckon. Anyways, i better get back to cleaning.
