WOW,

have i not posted in this for a LONG time. I desited im gonna start useing this thing from now on. i have gotten Much MUCH more siruse about footbag since the last time i posted in this footblog. i progressed alot too, and around my area is starting to become *footbag enlightened* ALOT of ppl are starting to kick, ppl i dont even know yet are intrested. i have a few guys i kick with and got lavers, danny or we call him BW, craig he is a soccor player and is really showing promess in footbag, brandon is gonna be great! his first week of freestyle shred WITH OUT LAVERS he hit mirage>legover and 5 atws b2b very cleanly. was soo happy and he calls me alot to come over and shred, he lives in the same town as me and i have a feeling this summer me and him are gonna be haveing some great times :) he ordered lavers and when they came they where the wrong size. worldfootbag sent him a size 7 when he needed a 9. he is pretty bumed that he must wait now another 2 weeks to get his babys. i cant wait to see him shred with lavers.

its pretty early in the morning... ok its 11:00 thats early for me, yesterday my friend ryan and me went to a tennis cort, next to the tennis cort was a ice rink witch was frozzen and we kicked next to it, it was really fricken cold so it was only a hafe and hour shred, but i got my spin on :) was very fun. ryan wants to get lavers. think he is lookin in to a pair on ebay :) well then we came home and after then ryan left and i desited to kick in the basement. was ok shred my legs have been pretty sore and i cant seem to un sore them. i dont know if its bc i cant rest them long enogh or if my legs just suck, i think it maybe is my diet, i really should start eating something that dosent start with Mc. fast foodsgreat tho. well ill post more im hungry talking about food :P ill post more latta.


EDIT:ok its latter in the day its like 1:30 brandon called me and asked me if him and his friend can come over and shred, my whole house smelled like pot so i said out side, it was crazy fun, i had blurry whirl roll like 3 times !!! i did a few reallly intense stepping strings i as really happy about. spinning osis has been giveing me some hard times, i cant seem to keep a clean contnuse spin, i always pause then start the osis spin. not very clean like. im workin on fixing that.

my parents are driveing me nuts, im sure every other teenager has times when they say this, ugh NUTS.

i just got out of bed to come post this befor i sleep.

i was stretching my legs and makeing bubbles < :wink: when i finaly got my legs reallly nice and un tensed it took 30 mins of stretching slowly and maxing out on my stretchs to get them fine, but they dont hurt any more hopefully they will feel great tomrow, im gonna stretch in the morning befor school as well. but any way enogh with the ranting. i grabed 3 footbags and started to shred in socks, sandbags seem to work great in socks. i was trying some pixies on my flip if you ever kicked with me you know my pixies are pretty bad. but on my good side i was geting head high pixie sets, i had a few really good feeling ones im hopeing that i can drill them both sides and then work with shoes and get them really good, that would open alot of new doors in my trick book. :) well any way, i came up with this little string and i desited i wasnt sleeping untill it was hit so i tryed it for like 5 mins till i got it. toe>mouth> drop to a heel stall>pickup then i tryed it flip, witch case i could get the heel stall another flipside trick i must drill :? joy. but when i did get the heel stall i could hit the pickup easyly. kinda funny i gess what i learned in tonights sock shred session is that if i learn some new concepts on my flip and develop weaker points more that it will balance me out more.
hummm think of all the new combos :P

well then i went to bed bc i hit it bsos :) then i was laying down and almost to sleep when i thought how cool it would be to make some kinda dream catcher from footbags. or hang a footbag above where my head is from my cealing when i sleep. the indians and alot of other calture belive that when u sleep with different things above your head it will do different things, every calture has there own thing. but i thought it was just a cool idea, and befor i forgot i desited to get out of bed an post in my blog. hope pepole read.

well today was pretty great, it snowed again, and me and my friend where driveing to go snow boarding, the winds realllly bad and the snow drifts are insane high and the wind litterly BLEW his mx3 off the road, we were so crazy close to a tellaphone pole. luckyly a truck helped us out and stuff. snowboarding was cold. so we came home and took turns wearing my lavers since he dont have a pair YET and it was fun. ryan had to leave and i got my shred on, i hit alot of new tricks today. starting out this morning i hit DYNO :) was happy about that then stepping pickup to night and after doing dynos for a while i tryed blender, took a good while but i got them down pretty good. hit merkon, and PARADON !!! i move i been dreaming of for soo long i cant wait to hit it mid string.

im really starting to get fat i think, or gaining some waight at least. i been saying i as gonna change my diet for a while now and i keep eating meat and fatty foods. as of tomarow im gonna eat healty for real !!! another crazy thing i relized to day was i havent been smokeing pot hardly at all for the past month, this last month i realllllly cut back, like 80% cut back. there have been days i only smoked a bowl. actuly alot of days.

tomrow is new school scedual... i only have 2 classes, but there hard, environmental ecology and west. civ and humaniteis.... this is gonna suck, cool thin thos is my lunch table is gonna have 8 shreders at 1 table :) 6 ppl i think with lavers :) i want to get a pic of all of us together, so i can post it on here and show evey one the sene around here. ill have to get a group meeting sometime this month. cant wait for summer, im gonna go buy a whole wordrob of shred shorts and wear them at all times evey where i go, this summer im geting down to some hardcore shred. like till i brake my leg. :) fuck this snow...

its latter, well lets see, i thought about how my days have been, so now ill tell you guys and girls.


well classes switched so insteed of siting on a computer most the day in english and math class witch where easy as hell classes... i got enviromental ecology and westren civ. westren civ is pretty much not a worry, im really good at history bc it intrest me alot. just knowing something that happend so long ago and think that one day ppl will be learning about us and are society and events that happend have famaus ppl. un like the last hafe haveing NO homework ever i now have homework.. and lots and lots and lots of it... im actuly prepared tho and am planing on doing very well this hafe and passing my cp classes with Bs, at tech my teacher was in a car accedent, in side the snowstorm and he took a good hit to the head and they think he broke a bone in his skull, the one above ur eye brow, well now we have a substutet and we fucked around for the last 3 days, i made a stainless steel blunt holder, and it looks soo nice, i put a cork on the top for the cap and every thing, then to day i made a stainless 3/8 X 10" steem roller, i did a REALLY good job on it, i buffed it all up and made it crazy shine, flaper wheeled ( rounded ) all the endes and made evey thing smooth and round, the bowl for it took 2 hours, i used a di-grinder with a this cool little atachment, its a rounded peace of metal with a shit load of like razors on it, and it spins and cuts away the metal like a neat little chizle on the metal, its like crazy awsome, and with it i made the bowl look like its rounded like a glass bowl. tomrow we have a sub again, im wearing shorts and stuff in to class and shreding all that hafe the day... so 3 hours of shred in school tomrow WITH friends :) ( there are only 4 ppl in the class bc its finals in the other schools, and when every ones there is only 8 ppl any way) its gonna be great shreding.

i cant belive i did homework every night this week.... i cant belive i did homework... homework?

well today was the best monday i could have asked for, usally mondays are really slow and really hard on me bc i spent the whole weekend killing brain cells. today was different i went to school and all my classes went smooth and fast had a sub at CTC witch was nice, got to footbag for 3 hours :). then came home an sat around on modified for a while... no one really wanted to hang out today every one seemed to be busy, so i sat down on my floor in my room and stretched, and did some exercises wow did i feel lose and great after that, i made up some new work outs for my legs, and ill share one with yous. Start buy puting one leg up in the out side stall position then lean over on ur support leg so all your bodys waights on that leg, then keeping your outside stall postion bend your support leg and do up downs, seeing how far u can go down and still make it back up, this is a HELL of a work out, you can feel the burn really fast and if feels good after words. then i went down in the basement and started my shred with some consectives, then busted out some of the longest strings i think i have ever done in my footbag quest so far, onest i think the one could have been over 50 contacts easy, i hit a few new stuff, barfly finaly, not as clean as id like but its progress, i got paradon on my flip for the first time, ss butterfly swirl, Cliper set ducking swirl <<< :D i got a new invity record of 68... thats right :) spinning cliper on my flipside !!! spinning flip was reallly hard for me and finaly im geting it, finaly, then when i thought it couldnt get any better i finaly hit a combo i have been trying for a while now, paradon>swirl>ripwalk>ducking butterfly>spinning butterfly>hand!!!! what a way to end a great day, but oh no its not over yet, im just resting if no one wants to hang out tonight me and felix here are gonna have some more good times. for the first time today i stretched out really well, and i put on a bandana and put my hair in a pony tail for the first time, so now im gonna do this every singal time i shred haha. today i was giveing a hair cut some DEEP thought i got hair down to my sholders witch is VERY styleish to me and is very me, and i love it, but for footbag i onestly am consitering cuting it..... tom mosher did it 8O i wonder if he did it for footbag too... it gets really hot, really in the way, and really limits my play depending on where i am. god i just want fucking summer to come.... it rained all day and my rooms soooo damn cold, in the summer its the hottest room and in the winter its the coldest bc its in the front of the house and on the second floor and i have the most windows in the house, go call it quits old man winter, PLEASE.

has any one ever herd of go fast? its this energy drink that my one teacher is selling at school they are $1.25 they have a acquired taste but damn do they give u some energy i drank 3 and turned red 8O litterly my skin was red... then my friend pointed out it says not for consumption in large amounts. they are really good tho id sudjest them to any one.

my no smokeing thing has been doing great, i actuly didnt smoke at all today and it dont even seem like a big deal any more, i been doing great i cant belive how much i cut back im not even a cranky fuck any more with out it. i can live and breath with out it, my mind feels sooo... clear.

well im gonna go see if anyone wants to go out an if not, basement here i come!
