Hey everyone,
Lately ive discovered I can do a reasonable blazeing set and furthermore that I really enjoy it more than any other concept in footbag ive tried.
Heres the problem; whenever I do more than a few blazeing sets my knee gets really sore (hurts most when I bend on it for example doing a clipper).
The moves I was trying where:
Blaze
Whirling far clipper
Whirling far legover/pickup
Whirling same mirage (ie a partially uptime barrage, this one especially made it hurt)
Whirling same clipper (ie whirl lol)
What I would like to know, is does anyone else have or have you had this pain, and how do you stop it hurting?
Knee injuries from Blazeing set?

Ive been hitting this set for a couple years, albeit not incredibly. I get no pain from it except for if I try it more than 100 times or so and my leg aches like a biatch the next morning.
I know countless others who DO get pain from this set and as a result have stopped doing it, or rarely do it:
Ellis Piltz
Brad Nelson
Chad D
For me its all in the proper motion. I have developed a quick motion that does not hurt my knee. I take it slowly, warm it up for a while and never try to set it far above my capabilities becaus ethat leads to bad form and hence, greater possibility of injury. Good luck with it.

I used to do blazing tricks a bit, but i stopped now because i have 2 bad knees........ Hmm.......... 
Actually i don't know if it is because of the blazing, but I do know it would shred my knee if I tried it now, but then again, I can't even do a basic whirl on my strong side now without pretty bad pain. I say, if you're going to do it, make sure you are totally warmed up first and stop when it starts hurting. It's such a cool set though, Whirlwalk is the shit!
