All righty!!!
After a loooong month off, I'm back :)
And my status after the break

Kicks are fine, flip toe sucks, but I'm getting much better with my strongside so hopefully the flip will follow soon!
Stalls are ok, same as they were a month ago
Clipper is not so good, but about how it was before ...

Don't think I'm qualified, but I'd definitely be down for competing in it...long as there's a novice category :)

Moxie brings up a good point, and I just wanted to point out that as a new member I have seen advice that I thought was fact and followed it, only to find out from more experienced players later that it was wrong. New members posting questions, after they've searched for their answer here, can only ...

I'd have to agree with Jeremy on this one, plus add the opinion of someone who is pretty new to this forum (only been active on here for about a month and a half)

I myself had a lot of questions and did my due diligence searching the forums for answers, but couldn't find answers for several, and ...

Hey Elliott, yea, I hope to make it up there sometime soon to shred with you all...I'd like to get a little better first and be able to actually string together more than 2 tiltless moves, so it's not just legover>atw>drop>pass :)


On a sad note............

I'm not better

Oh my been a long time...
Well, I got bronchitis
Had 102+ fever all weekend, been in bed since Friday
It sucks

I'm finally starting to feel a little better today, but definitely not footbag better...I get tired just from walking up the stairs

So yea, no footbag for a couple more days :( This sucks

Hey and welcome to modified!

I also cut away the outside layer instead of the inside
I remember reading somewhere that the canvas is stickier than the mesh so it might be better to cut away the outside mesh layer, but you're left with cut up looking shoes
I also cut away all three surfaces, inside ...

Short session today, my legs are hurtin from all the footbag action as of late!
I'm loving my two new bags (thanks Gary!)

Almost hitting mirage, I can get my foot under the bag most of the time now but too late for a delay. I think the dex is good but my switch from dexing leg to support leg is not ...

Ok, wasn't able to hit any of them tonight but I'm REALLY close to like 4 or 5 of them!

The mirage, illusion, and clipper ones are still a bit ways away but the others I'm hoping to hit in the next few days :)

Good practice today
Spent all my time on dexes...worked ATW, they're good but sometimes I rush it and start the dex before the bag is all the way off my foot
Legovers are going really well, took me a bit to get used to doing them without a hop but now my dexes are much faster and smoother and all is ...

Kicks-
21 alternating inside kicks woo, I coulda kept going but I looked up at the light and lost track of the ball, lol
Outside kicks are hard to do alternating, got 4, but I'm hitting them nicely just difficult to twist and do them back and forth
Toe kicks are still rough but they're getting much ...

First time playing in 4 days, I really shouldn't take that long of a break, I was a bit rusty :(

But good news, I hit a regular Legover (no hop) :)
Took me like 20 tries to hit it the first time, then it was much easier
I'm really starting to get the hang out twisting my hips and oh my god does ...

Updated first post

Thanks for the challenges Asmus

My strong and flipside are pretty close...
Clippers are a little easier with my left foot (so left foot on right side of body clipper is called a right or left clipper?), but not a big difference (both sides suck, lol)
And for dexes, out->in dexes ...

What is Circle Comp and Rippin Run?

I know this is just something everyone should know, but I couldn't find anything (here or footbag.org) that told me what these are

I know what Sick 1/3, shred30, and routine are...but no clue what Circle and Rippin Run are for tournament events

Sorry for being a tard :P

Beginners at tournaments?

As some of you may know by now (I've been spending a lot of time on these boards the last few weeks) I am a beginner.
I can hit a few 2adds, can keep the bag off the ground for a few seconds, but really can't compete.

But, given that I don't have people to shred with here I kinda want to want to ...
