Mosher let me borrow his old beautiful laver and a footbag, on the 12 th of september 04, i have dedicated alot of my time towards footbag, so far ive hit,

osis, smp mirage, mirage, legover, illusion, pickup, pdx mirage, pdx illusion, far leg over, far pickup, far osis, ducking clipper, atw, butterfly, infinity,fairy set, pixie,pixie set,spinning clipper, atomic set, far refraction, smear, smuge. Oh yeah, both sides. I also just started learning swirl and whirl, and i have hit them on both side, but like the spinning clippers, I have not hit them in a string. I have hit megellan on one side, and i hit pheonix today, and luckly i taped my first 5.

3 months is pretty damn fast for all that stuff, congrats. I was still scratching my ass after 3 months. But I don't think a new topic was merited, this forum is frivolous enough as it is.

You should put all that info in your blog to keep it more up to date.

I had hit Clipper Kick after 3 months...

You're luck to have someone teaching you from the very beginning. Not everyone has.

Props for hitting all those, I'm not sure if I've ever hit them.

This kid is crazy!!

I witnessed many of those tricks getting hit for the first time and they were all performed flawlessly!

He's got the best style. (how could he not when he's learning from me

)

I suppose it is pretty blatant that if you have someone showing you the proper way to do the trick then you don't have to waste time doing them the wrong way figuring it out. It's like seeng the answers to a test.

Good work derrick, KINGSTON FOOTBAG MILITIA represent!

Hey man!

We shredded in Kingston a few weeks ago. You are veeerrrrrrryy good for only 3 months. Probably better than me, haha! Sorry that's not saying much but still... Just string everything you can do together.

When I first started shredding I tried to learn every possible trick and never worried much about strings. Now that I want to try and do longer runs I've found myself back where I began, learning and drilling all the basics all day and all nite. I dont think I'm going to try anything to extreme until I can hit tiltless tricks one after the other easily.

Keep up the kickass work, I hope to shred with you another day.

I thought you were lying till Mosher backed you up. We're at about the same point but I've been going for 5 months strong now.

AAARRRRGGGHHH! I was at that level about a year ago...but it took me like a year to get there!!
That means by the spring, derrik will be as good as me! Damn, to be young again..(under legal canadian drinking age young)

Man, that is totally what I did, to the exact, like im trying to do the cool tricks, but you get way more props if you can hit a string of 2's instead of hitting some 4 and then dropping it.
