Im always up for a good challenge. It is what I live for. Whenever I play with others, I challenge them to hit things they haven't, and ecourage them to do the same for me.

Right now, I have challenged myself to do a few things footbag-wise. The first is to hit janiwalker>janiwalker, which I hope to complete by weeks end. A longer term goal is for me to hit nebula, which I think will come fairly easily once I start to hit fury on my flip side more consistently. For some reason, that motion just seems to come easier on my flipside.
My self-challenge is to hit Nebula by Martin Luther King Day of the coming year (the third monday in January). That gives me about 15 weeks. Good luck me!

Lastly, please feel free to post challenges for me, but don't overwhelm me. I am an advanced shredder in terms of moves I can hit, but not so advanced in terms of string length or combo complexity. That will change.

Re: challenges thus far:

Max requested: furious ss whirl. Progress: not much. Was able to hit furious ss clip and furious ss legover. Set height still too low for a whirl. Will keep practicing.

shreddaily requested: furious ss legover>pixie paradon. Progress: some. Was able to hit furious ss legover>pixie set drop the butterfly stall. In a short while, I should be able to hit this combo, which BTW, I think is pretty awesome.

Shred Pirate requested: blurry whirl > blurry whirl > ps whirl > ps whirl and blurry whirl > infinity > ripwalk > repeat. Progress: Not yet attempted. Im fairly sure I can hit both once Im warmed up for a session. Ill attempt them soon.

Jeremy requested: ripwalk>butterfly>butterfly>ripwalk>ducking butterfly>osis>osis>ducking butterfly>pdx whirl>pdx whirl>pdx mirage>drifter>drifter>pdx mirage>symp whirl. Progress: I worked on this combo on and off for about 5 minutes. I was able to get through the first 8 moves before I forgot the combo and hit an osis instead of the pdx whirls. It is within my reach, and I will hit it soon.

Thanks for the challenges. I will take any challenge seriously that I feel I have a slim chance at achieving, but I will not attempt more than 6 challenges at one time- too hard to devote time to them while getting in the normal skooling and shred.

Finally, today I am goint ot give some attempts to each of the challenges in this section. Ive pronted out a list that Im gunna bring to my session. I dunno if Ill hit any of them, but I'll be sure to let y'all know.

So, Im sad to say that as of now, I have hit no challenges. On that note, I was wondering if you could give me some new ones to try, maybe some NON-FURIOUS type challenges. Either runs or combos would be appreciated.

I challenged myself recently, and I can now hit ps whirl>blur on both sides. Im my stronger side, ill be trying ps whirl>fog and to blizzard. Thanks, OH, and BTW, I will keep trying the original challenges.

50 infities
30 osis
smear>dim>blur rpt
30 guiltless
50 tiltless
drift>p drift repeat
p whirl>whirl rpt

i think your big tricks are good but your stirings and combos are lacking. just an idea.

Senor Grommet · Post by **Senor Grommet** » 29 Dec 2004 22:15

HAHAHAHA

I can hit 5 of the 7 things mentioned below, but not the 30 osi or 30 guiltless. I oculd get cose to both, maybe even hit them. From ow on, they will be my challenges to work on in my next few sessions.

50 infities
30 osis
smear>dim>blur rpt
30 guiltless
50 tiltless
drift>p drift repeat
p whirl>whirl rpt

As for my other challenges: I have hit blurry whirl>inf>ripwalk repeat, as proposed by Chris P. and gyro mirage>toe dlo> toe whirl >repeat as proposed by Brian Parsons. That last combo took me 5 sessions and about 4 hours to hit. I had to learn flip gyro mirage and solidify my flip toe dlo to hit it. I am VERY proud that hit it today.
