I'm not sure how they got my footbag back. I asked the staff person who returned it how they got it and he said, "jet ski." Maybe they were able to access that area from under the bridge. From what I could tell it was walled off behind several concrete barriers from the water side.

Working on ...

Apparently I don't know how to put an image in this post from my phone

It's a miracle. They got my footbag back.

First day trying to get footage in Bora Bora. So many fun locations to try. Started out having a great session too. Then disaster struck:

I lost my bag between the cracks of the bridge. Super unlucky because it's impossible to get to without removing the ...

We've finished up our stay here in Moorea, the good news is we're off to Bora Bora for 5 more days. This trip is flying by but I'm glad there's more.
Got a few more shred locations in today. Fighting for space on my phone has been difficult as we're taking lots of pictures and videos of our trip. I ...

Been a while since I posted.
My back wasn't feeling right after my last session. I thought it was due to playing footbag but it wasn't getting better, even after 3 weeks.
I'm currently on vacation and after the first night not sleeping in my own bed my back felt normal. I'm not sure it's the bed ...

Played today. Been a while. I was sick since last Wed. I don't get sick often but I've been around sick people at work and at home and it got me.

The weekend before last I went to Portland and kicked with Gordon, Chris and Jake. I only have solo sessions these days so I figured I need some ...

Glad someone finally noticing this problem besides me. Since Modified moved to new servers it's hit or miss whether an embedded vid has an error. I wasn't sure if it was just me so I haven't said anything.

Congrats on the new babay!

Hello blog, my old friend.

Lots to talk about.

First off, Ken made a FB post asking who were the top 5 US players.

5 best freestylers in the USA, ranked in order. Go.

I had many thoughts that I didn't feel comfortable sharing on FB. I agree with the general consensus that came out for the top ...

Nice 7 add! I don't think it has it's own name, which it should. I've been meaning to hit blurry ducking motion. While trying to find if spinning ducking motion has a name I learned blurry ducking motion is called Syberian Express, that's cool.

5 years ago today I hit my first 10 fearless. An anniversary worth celebrating!

There are 6 moves of the 10 that utilize a pdx whirl component. I'm trying to do this again without using any. Tall task not ...

Had a productive session yesterday. My body feels tore up today, but nothing felt strenuous during the session. A reality of getting old I guess.

Featured:
dbl pickup>paradon rpt (opening combo to get the juices flowing)
sweep (open muted swirl)>barfly bs (both barfly were off balance, needs ...

HUGE NEWS!

My girlfriend's work had a sale on all their old apple equipment. I got a Mac Pro Desktop. I've been sitting on all my footage from 2012/2013 when I was at my best. I released some footage here and there but saved all the good stuff. I haven't had the capability of producing the footage ...

I got 7 barfly today!

Its been a long time since I was so happy with such a meager accomplishment. Mostly it was the way I hit them. I stayed on balance and the sets and delays were perfect. I could have done more but I sealed at 7. Very tired session today.

Spent most of the rest of the session ...

Played again tonight. I can't believe the stuff I'm hitting. Its been very satisfying lately.

Today I felt pretty tired and like I shouldn't attempt the stuff I had planned. My sessions lately have had a similar progression. I struggle for most the session and some moves feel adverse to my body ...

Didn't film today but continue to feel great about the progress I'm making. Spent most the session hitting flip flurry and flip barfly>barfly. I set out to hit 20 of each. My method today was I'd keep doing attempts until I hit the move or combo 3 times then rest, each 3rd round I'd keep going until ...

I identify with your post a lot.

1. I update my Modified blog often because it's nice to have a safe space to say whatever I want. Generally I make mundane progress updates, but I take solace knowing when I want to bitch about something, like how I'm so sick of seeing consecutive whirr, I can do so ...

Last night's session was great. Kept it short 40 minutes, didn't want to over do it. Super happy, I continue to make progress on the drills I'm working.

Focused last night on my flip double downs (lots of flip paradons) and rotating more on flip motion (still needs work). I ended the session ...

I'm definitely planning another visit. I'm headed to Portland next month and will head up to Victoria some time after March, so keep those skills sharp.

My last session took a harder tole on my back than expected. Nothing terrible but my back has been too uncomfortable to put through the wear and tear of a footbag session. It's feeling normal again, tonight I went to the gym for the first time in a week and a half and I'm looking forward to my next ...

I did a live Facebook video today. It was the end of my session and I wanted to do 20 contact strings with 30-45 second rest between and repeat. Started out well, but I got off track and then I felt pressure and I let myself get frustrated. Learned a lesson that I will have to have better control of ...
