Public Forum Humiliation

Post by Senor Grommet »

This is the thread where you recognize a flaw in your footbag game and then you decide to fix it before a certain time limit expires. If you do so, you are better off and you avoid public humiliation. If you do not or cannot change your flaw, you must publicly humiliate yourself on this forum.

This thread is not for weak footbaggers. You may choose any form of humiliation for yourself: showing a photo, telling a story, revealing a secret, writing word-for-word your latest confession to a priest, etc. I will start out by presenting the following flaw in my footbag game:

Although I have hit a flipside whirling swirl, I have not hit one in several months. I will change this flaw. I will hit whirling swirl BSOS 5 times in the same session within 4 weeks of writing this post.

I would hardly call not hitting whirling swirl often a flaw :p

I do the whackiest thing on my "good leg" with my knee when I toe set any move -- my knee bends in a lot where it doesn't on my other leg; this causes most of the problems I have with my flipside. I am in the process of changing that. I hope to have it fixed within a few months of my full recovery.

I vow to hit pheonix both sides before Christmas.

If I fail at this attempt I will buy a speedo and wear it while I try three pheonix attempts outside on my deck in the Canadian winter on December 26.

Now THAT is ballsy!


OK, I'll play this game.

I have left spinning and ducking totally out of my game foolishly.

I will hit spinning clip>ducking clip>spinning clip>ducking clip within two weeks (ie by my footbag club meeting in two weeks) or I will shave my chest.

LightningBolt, you must further specify what it means to be "bothsided" as bothsided means different things to different people. Your goal must be measureable, so that you can say without a doubt that you succeeded or failed based on your own standard.

This is gonna sound hella weak to all you guys talking about incredible moves, but I wanna get atleast 5 bs back and forth clippers by December 5th. I would've had it long ago, as my right clipper is fine, and I can land it perfectly on my flipsider clipper, but I don't have the leg strength to pop it up powerfully or accurately enough to land it on my strong side coming off my flipside.

If this doesnt happen on the 5th day of Achban, I will post an embarrasing photo...

By the way props to the topic starter, this is a great idea.

Okay ...

I would like to accomplish the following:

Hit BSOS spinning clipper (Ie. learn how to spin on my flipside)

Become proficient with drifters - both toe and clipper (at the moment I can probably hit drifter like 3 out of 10 on my best side, I'd like to get this average up to AT LEAST 6 out of 10)

Learn whirl on both sides (once again, I can do it on one side with limited effectiveness, I want to get this move consistent both sides)

And for the love of god, get my stepping set back! I used to be able to step, but now I can't ... It's.... frustrating to say the least.

These are a lot of goals, so I'm going to give myself some time ... I will try to accomplish these goals by January 10th, 2004 (The end of my Christmas vacation)

If I don't accomplish these goals I will let someone off of modified select a signature and avatar for me to use (anything they want) for one month - Any volunteers?

I have never hit whirling swirl :oops:

I also find it really really hard to hit a spinning tricks midstring on either side. My spinning is horribly inconsistant. I can hit some big spinning moves but only at the start of runs and with a lot of attempts.

I have been working on these problems for ages and they are slowly getting better but I still have a looooooooooooooong way to go.

Since I have recently devoted my kicking time to basics again.

I vow to hit butterfly(hold)>SS butterfly(hold)>butterfly(hold)>SS butterfly(hold) by this date next month. I figure that to be a reasonable time seeing as how I am more busy these days and have hard times finding times to session.

If I don't hit it by then I will ... do somthing..... help me out here
Its all or nothing
