hey i have been footbaging for about 7 months on and off, so as u can guess im not the greatest

i could do
legovers, pixies, mirages,clippers both sides. i have also hit smear, dimwalk, ripwalk, dlo and pixie legover. i have some friends that do it but they are way passed my level of footbag i play alone and with them i have been trying new stuff but they keep telling me 2 school my basics, i can do all my basics but they insist that i do, so i am trying 2 mostly just do basics in very long strings i am 14 i like in new jersey and i love footbag.

i talked 2 my friend justin last nite (he has a footblog here) and he convinced me that i need 2 focus on skooling basics so thats what im starting, its kind of frustrating that i have been shredding for 7 months and now i have 2 go back 2 skooling basics and crap :evil: well i just got back from a 1 hour and 45 minute shred session in my garage im happy with what i did i got mirage on my strong 50 times and pixe on my strong side 25 times then on my flip 25 times, leg overs 25 each side then i tryed flip mirages i have 2 work on them i only got 10 all together and 2 consecutives :oops: o well there will always be more footbaging to come so i will rest and hopefully be able 2 go to stung out next week and kick cuz they didnt have 1 today :cry: this day fucking sucked

i shreded with cheebs marc and justin today at the park, it was fun, i hit some new stuff in my strings, that skooling session yesturday really helped out alot, i had a very long string in it at towards the end i threw in a flip mirage then paradox. mirage. its only basics but i was glad that i am back 2 basics and stuff. also i was just messing around in the woods and hit whirl. that was pretty cool, tomarrow another skooling session this time im skooling osis my flip is really bad.

Props for working basics. Everyone does it to a certain degree, it just depends on what's basic to each individual player.

It's necessary, yo. Keep it up and you'll be stringing like maaaaaaad.

Man, I feel your pain. I have been shredding on and off for two years or so. And I need to school basics hardcore too. I have a few 5's and a few 4's, but my contacts in a run are shit.

I agree that a solid foundation will improve anyones game.

hey just so you know...I hear that white is one of the weaker colors....just so you'd keep it in mind and not devastate it like johnny did to his...

some colors are stronger than others...unless it's a mini, I hear they hold together better. I bought a red, blue and white abshire and sold it to johnny and he broke it in and within a week of him shredding with it, it was growing holes in the white, but only the white....I dunno..it's the second abshire I have ever seen closely
