Oh, man! I haven't blogged in likt, 3 days!! THAT'S BECAUSE I HAVE NOT DONE SHIT!

Anyways, that was right, it's been raining for days here in NJ and I can't shred because outside is the only side I can shred. The duration of 3 days, I have not been refreshed. I now am total shit at footbag. My stalls are slipping, my smoothness is now like sandpaper and my BSOS abilities which were already crap have been totally vaporized and are gone......DAMN!!!

Tomorrow, I vow on my life to shred for at least 1 1/2 hours outside provided the weather reads this and says, "okay, I'll clear up."

I'm really tired and I feel like crap. I haven't done aynthing footbag-related in over two days but stitch and watch vids of Sunil, Carol, Honza Vasek, Ales, Daryl and other pro shredders....... I really need to brush up on my shredding. It's winter but I shouldn't make that an excuse to not shred. all the more reason to shred, If I can shred in alaskan winter weather, I can shred anywhere!!!! Just kidding but something like that...

Guys, if I don't blog for more than one week, please PM me to remind me that I play footbag. I seriously think I have ADD because I keep getting sidetracked by other things. I hope footbag isn't one of those and like guitar, will stay around until my catheter is full..............................i don't get it.....maybe I AM smoking yellow rocks....

Whoa, you're right. Thanks for the challenge and, provided there's no bet going on, I WILL get that friggin' ATW down by Christmas. if santa comes, I'll get some footbag talent out of that bag of his....

Anyways, over the last.....how many days? Anyway, I've noticed significant improvement in my clipper stalls. I've actually had the pleasure of seeing my left leg catch my footbag after I inside kicked it.....>WHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS FOOTBAG!!!!! AND AMERICA!!!!!!!!! AND AUSTRIA!!!!!!!!! AND CANADA!!!!! AND FINLAND!!!!!! AND AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!I LOVE FOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

and all the other footbag countries I forgot. I got my new trick high again. I think I've been progressing more because of all the vids I've been seeing and my friends have been catching up to me. I don't want to suck and I want to be the one to teach them new tricks, you know? That's because one of my friends said I started a footbag spark in my school. I think I'd like to be a decent guiltless spark by the end of NEXT year......lol

I'll work on my atws like d-man said, and I'll attempt to get at least both sides down on one direction by christmas!!!!

My Abshire's been backordered but when I get my bag, I'll show it to all of you!!!!! I just have to get a digi-cam.....lol

Congrats man

And keep working at it.

Also don't worry about people who started after you and then they start to get better really quickly, and in the end may begin to teach you.

I am the first kid in my town to play freestyle footbag. I started earlier this year (I am 20 years old). Been playing for 9-10 months now. And now i have got other kids into it. There ages are 15,11,10.

It is inevitable they are going to improve quicker because you are going to show them the write way to do a certain trick, which took you maybe weeks to figure out yourself.

Enjoy watching them improve and enjoy watching them when they start to own you when they shred. Be proud that you were the one to create that footbag spark or scene in your neck of the woods, and work hard to make it bigger and bigger every year

TO THE REVOLUTION.

Good job man, flipside clippers where such a pain for me, and still are. Also in your list of contries you forgot Cheque

Awesome. Thanks guys. Oh yeah, Anthony, the spark apprently wasn't the biggest but it got the point across that footbag was here to stay....in my school anyways. However, there is this one exception. There's this gym teacher who's pretty much now on a footbag stakeout. If you guys had 1 1/2 hours of gym everyday, you'd prolly be able to find some time to shred. HOWEVER, this techer think different. Apparently, I was the smarter kid and didn't take out my bag for more than 30 second at a time. I was called a pussy by my friends but, oh man, I was laughing when the teacher took my friend's dirtbag and my other friend's crappy crocheted. This was funny for the crocheted but it became terminal when the dirtbag went. He was SOOOOOOOOOOOO close to confiscating that bag then he returned it to my friend. I heard the discussion. I was outreaged at how he doesn't treat footbag like a true sport. BULLPLOP!!!!!!!
FOOTBAG IS JUST ASA REAL AS A SPORT AS BASKETBALL, BASEBALL,HOCKEY AND FRIGGIN' HORSESHOES!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, he threw the bag at my friend and I was just there. Starin blankly into that scene. it really sucked. it taught my friend a lesson no to be a dumbass but it was a major protest against the sport of footbag in our school.

Oh, for Dustin, It was one of those spur of the moment things. I was shocked and just sat down for about three minutes. It was really neat, yes but I sense much schooling sessions ahead of me concerning flipsides......

Cold, lonely day. It was pretty good though. I noticed that my strong-side clipper stalls are almost as solid as my inside and outside stalls. I can almost do them conescutively!!!!! WOOT! Also, nothing new, my dexes are still sluggish.....DAMN, I wish santa would just give me whatever is footbag related in his bag. That way, I'll prolly get some dexing talent....lol

I'm almost down with my second practice bag. I noticed that I have improved jack shit in the last couple bags that I have made....anyways, if you guys have tips, can you help me in what is your preference to making the bags? Three-piece? One-chunk one thread? or Two piece, sew together? I', trying one chunk one thred but I don't know..I'll prolly fuck up somewhere.......I hope my facile does not arrive soon. That way, I'll get better waiting for it.....lmao

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 17 Dec 2004 15:23

WOOT. It was a good footbag day. No one got in our way at school and we actaully had a teacher bag with us!!!!! He was a sub but that was awesome that he managed to footbag with us! What would be even more freaky to me was if that teacher was a modified member!

ANyways, as soon as I got home, I spent about an hour shredding. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO close to that ATW I actually hit it three or four times today. It was 'the' but an ATW nevertheless!!!!

My friend said my other two sandbags came, and since richie mentioned that his 32s were backordered, I'll have new bags to break in by the end of the year.....ReWOOT!!!

Wow. that was weird. Anyways, tomorrow's paintball and I decided to take a break from footbag. Sorry but one day vacation should be good for me..............and I get to shoot people!!!!!!

My facile's coming soon, definetely before Christmas.....or not that would be good too. My practice bag's still not going anywhere but that's cool. Other than that, it's cold as hell out here. Melissa's gonna rub my nose in it ebcause she's prolly used to this but I'm not!!!!!!! I really need to find summer!!! Come summer, I smell three hour sessions a day!!!!!! I'm gonna have a sore ass everyday but anything for footbag!!!

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 17 Dec 2004 15:25

More stuff: I found out thow much crap this school that I go to is: We have a friggin' jump rope club with about 6 COUNT THEM, SIX people in the club. For footbag, we don't have a club, we can easily have about 7 to 12 people shredding with us at school if we had a club......I'm gonna take out that administrator of ours........NOT JEREMY OR ERIK BUT OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR OR WHOEVER DOES THE CLUB LISTINGS.........

Today, some kid died at our school so it's really one of those respect days that everyone's as quiet as mice in a holiday season that are trying to get free food and are trying to sneak acrosst he room without being heard. Anyways, we had a 'memorial shred' session today suring lunch just because of the kid, I managed to hit a very very very very very very the ATW but I hit it that's what matters. Also, my facile hasn't come yet and it's been about two weeks I'm getting really really impatient. I hear it's good quality facile but if the facile takes months to deliver, then, it must be worth the wait. coolness. I guess I can't get the flipside, strongside, both dex ATW by Jan.1 but I hit an ATW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WUTANG!!!!!!!!!!!!

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 22 Dec 2004 12:35

WOOT! I'm not so sure if I did it right but I pulled off THREE the Butterflies to day and 1/2 of a mirage!!!! WOOT! Fortunately, my gym teachers wer really nice today and didn't take away our bags. They lets us keep playing all throughout gym so we had that and volelyball which wasn't so bad......also, my ATWs are really almost halfway of a quarter there so by next week, I hope to have nailed it well.....well....

My facile should come tomorrow too..........................WOOT!

Cool. A warm front moved in from the south and it was relatively warm today so my outside shred was outside once again and I managed to wear shorts...........................keep n mind that this took place right after school because I had no homework which is uber-hein.....a word me and my friend made up when paintballing....

my Atws are ALMOST there...I just can't hit it right to set it straight up much more, stall it.

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 23 Dec 2004 10:32

Neat. Christmas Party left and right and we pulled off about a total of 1 hour of shred so that was good considering that the weather outside now turned from nice to crap overnight. I guess my stitching will get some practice. That's not so bad anyways, Christmas is coming soon and so is my cool aunt who bought me the 2 Abshires and a Juice. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That'll up my footbag collection to 8-9 and then, my footbagginess will increase twofold!!!!! YAY!

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 27 Dec 2004 05:53

Yah. I got to borrow my friend's cam first. Then I upload it to photobucket or something right?

I need help with this

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 28 Dec 2004 15:08

OWOWOWOW. This morning, I was schooling my ATW ( yes, even up to now) an when I ebtn down too much, my knee met a part of my face that hurt a lot.....my nose....so for about 5 minutes, I panicked thinking about if I had a bloody nose or if my nose was even flatter than it already was..Fortunately, I sucked today and I'll shred again tonight if I practice my guitar before 9:00.

bleh! My nose hurts!

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 30 Dec 2004 14:27

ATWs are still bein worked on. I think that as I progress, the rate at which I pick up new moves is slowing down...oh, well as long as I nail all my basics soon i'll be a happy boy. I actually am getting butterflies and mirages are kinda halfway of a quarter there. But Ats are still being worked on....damn this elusive tricK! I've tried every fucking thing there fucking is it does not fucking work! Fuck this! JK but ATWs are just seemingly impossible! I can't dex horizontally and I can't fucking dex vertically, my timing's way off and if I DO make contacts, I can't even hold it on my toe!

HELP!
