I bought a spotlight from bunnings hardware and now i can shred at night outside, woot.

Also after i shred, i stretch grab a beer and sit in the pool and chill the fuck out. I think it was about 30 degrees celsius here LAST NIGHT, so it was good to jump in the pool after a hard nights shred. I sat there think about footbag related topics.

Anyway the highlights of the shred were

10 consec flipside ATW out-in
8 consec strongside ATW out in ( I am sure i could triple this if i spent some time on it)
2 consec DLO
3 consec ducking mirages.

osis were much stronger last night.

Bought a spotlight, so now i can shred at night. Note to self:having a couple of beers in the pool after a hard nights shred is extremely relaxing and should be done as much as possible, especially on a hot night.

Highlights were
10 consecutive flipside atw
8 consecutive atw ( I am sure i could do 3 times as this if i spent some time on it.)
3 consec ducking mirages
2 consec dlo.

Osis was much more solid tonight.

Tried osis and diving clipper on flipside, getting closer.

Funny about the posts below. WHen i was trying to send them they weren't coming up.Now they come back and nestled themselves in my blog.
I have skooled pretty hard the last probably 3-4 days. I have been able to play outside at night since i bought a spotlight, it is so sweet.

Anyway the highlights of the last session

16 consec flipside clippers (these are feeling really good now)
smear>duckingmirage>dlo (Have done this before but dad asked me to show him some shit, and i hit this 2nd go, instead of having 10 tries so this is why this is a highlight.

There the highlights really.

I suppose it was more thinking about best way to do alternate butterflies, and i also skooled my pixie especially my left to the shitter. I think the main problem with it is i rush it.

Hopefully i can shred with my little mate jesse tonight. He is a kid i coach at squash and i have got him into footbag and he is superkeen. He is 11.
I gave him a mr sandman and in the last couple of session he has hit 4 alternate toe delays and footed mirage a few times, and has done 16 toe kicks. He learns quickly and he has that build (aka jim penske like) and coordination. Only problem is he lives out of town and i don't have my liscence (next month is the goal.) Hopefully he can organize something.

My other little friend benni Isbel has improved alot. He is 15 and i also coached hit at squash for a little while there. I wonder if the owner gets pissed with me. Like i used to super train really hard for squash, Got to The top grade, lost 2 matches all season, they were both against the national champion for my age and they were close matches. Then i found footbag, and in between breaks from coaching, i am now playing footbag out the front. These are the choices we make i suppose

And i also get these other kids who are into squash into footbag. uh all well.

I love footbag.
Peace to the whole modified community.

Been drilling pretty hard the last couple of days.

Some highlights from last night
16 flipside consec clipper
smear>ducking mirage>dlo on demand
3 consec ducking mirages

skoolied my flip pixie hard last night as well as butterflys. Clippers were going well so i only spent 10 mins on them.

Tonight i am going to try and smear>ducking mirage>dlo flipside. If i drop on a move then i try and do consecutives of that move, i find it keeps me interested that way. After that i will try to hit this run i wrote down last week:
ATW>butterfly>pdx mirage>ducking mirage>atw>butterfly>pdx mirage>ducking mirage>butterfly>ducking clipper>mirage>butterfly>ducking clipper.

Then maybe a bit of osis work, then try and hit diving clipper on flipside.

See how we go

peace

sorry about all the posts whoever is reading

I have been trying to post the last couple of days and have been unsuccessful.

I love your entheusiasm (?sp) for the sport, man.
It's definately good to see.

I too have issues with my pixie sets when I go too quickly. I found I could duck my pixies last Monday night, when I stopped trying to do it fast, and started doing it right. I'd think about the move and try to seperate the set from the dex, and go from there.

Keep it up.

Cheers gareth.

Tried to shred last night, warmed up etc etc realised my legs were too sore. so I tried to hit pdx dlo for 40 mins without no success. Then i had a couple of beers and went to bed.

SO i decided to get up this morning started shredding at 8:30am and finished 11:30 am. I was going to finish at 10:00, i was pretty tired at this point, but then benni isbel came around and we shredded some more. Ben was playing well, he is close to whirl and smear, but he can't do much on his flipside, i will keep at him about it.

Anyway the highlights were:
ducking legover bs
ATW (in)>ATW (out)>butterfly>pdx mirage>ducking mirage>atw (in)>atw(out)>butterfly>pdx mirage>ducking mirage>butterfly>ducking clipper>hand catch. (I only just got the ducking clipper, i will do this run again and finish it off)
3consec flipside ducking mirages
2 consec flipside smears
PARADOX DOUBLE LEG OVER. (This is a funny story. I was trying to hit it at the end because i had nothing left in my legs. I asked ben if i was close to hitting it, he thought not, then he chucked me the sack after he had his go, went to my clipper , and bang pdx dlo, i was so surprised to see it on my foot. i tried a couple more times came close, but could not hit it again.

I will try and have another session tonight. My legs are pretty fucked.

I love footbag.

Went to my bosses place on saturday to do some work.

I was given a beer straight up as i walked in the door. and therefore no work got done.

It turned into a little informal party just with mates which is always good.

I was offered some cocaine for 20 bucks. It was a good deal. however i refused for once. I haven't touch drugs for about 14 days. I am always keen to smoke a bit of hooter, but anything harder i have to stay away from. I have discovered i have a users mind (I have always known this, just been in denial), therefore if i have something once, and enjoy it, chances are i will do it again. Good examples of these is my mate who offered me the coke, who at the end of last year had his first eccy, as organised by me (I feel so bad about it

)
and now he is dealing weed, speed, eccys etc.

He reckons he is just doing it to catch up with his bills. (Thing is he is doing hard drugs most weekends)
We all know he is getting in too deep.
Everytime i cruise around his place, he is pushing drugs on me. You get a users mind, and a mate pushing drugs on you, and plus he tabs it up, it is not a good situation.
The only answer is not to go around his place, and be strong and say no.
I just hope he proves us all wrong and he isn't too deep. I fear the worst.
I don't know if there is anything i can do.

Anyway had a shred last night for about two hours. Drilled clippers, butterflys and did some shred.

The highlights were
24 consecutive flipside clippers (very happy with these, gone are the days i could only do two in a row. I think the abshire has helped me learn good technique with these.)

21 alternating clippers (i did this straight after i did the 24 flipside clippers. When i first began doing alternating clippers i did it like kenny shults on tricks of the trade, went to Brisbane City Sessions and got skooled by dan ednie (that lad knows his shit) and he taught me the proper way to do it. It is starting to get smoother and smoother.)

34 consecutive atw (in-out) I dropped it on an atw when i was trying to hit a run i wrote down, so i did consecutive, 34 was the result, my leg was numb after it.

toe>osis rpt (by 4) My osis is on again off again, hopefully dan,jeremy and the whole aussie crew can skool me on this in feb.

Symposium Mirage (flipside) Just decided to try it last night and got it on my 4th go.

5 Alternating butterflies. Equalled my record. Watched a vid of ales zelinka doing butterflies, so i think i have the technique down.

until next time (like TONIGHT

)
Peace Hagesy

P.S Did i mention I love footbag.

Uranos · Post by **Uranos** » 19 Dec 2004 20:36

wow, great stuff hagesy! i hope to shred with u 24/7 in feb!

yesterday after along kick, me dan and ollie decided to drink some beer on the hills. And after that, we unexpectedly had a session after ollie said
"alex just hit ripwalk man"

first 5 minutes, i hit ripwalk on my strong side...then i thought i might as well hit it flip side....then i hit it, later on i hit atom smasher

ollie hit blizzard and atom smasher, they were both clean. Dan looked tired and drunk lol.

i am looking to get a footbag book for me...write down techniques for each move, write down drills i should do, and my own record book. Whqat do you guys think of that?

anyways major props to hagesy

Just call me hagesy · Post by **Just call me hagesy** » 20 Dec 2004 14:32

Cheers alex

I didn't no Dan drank, I thought he was all 'my body is a temple' which is a definately good way to be, however my love of alcohol stops me from having this same philosophy.

Props on THE ripwalk and the atomsmasher man. I think the first two sets i am going to learn is pixies and stepping. Pixies are already underway, and might try and hit a few stepping moves in the upcoming weeks, and then get skooled hard in melbourne on them. I find illusions tough on my flipside, i could probably hit atom smasher on my good side, if i put some time into it, it is definately a cool move.

ARe you talking about a footblog, aka like one of these. It is definately a good idea man. I find it is good for your records, as well as clearing your head of whatever demons you are carrying.

Oh yeah and thanking for giving us some shelter man in feb. My first jam was brisbane city session, and that was awesome, so when i think melbourne is just like 1 and two/third months away i start frothing at the mouth. Can't wait to meet you man, then we can all drink and watch dan look tired and drunk when he is playing footbag.

Righto then

Had a good day yesterday. (A good day when it come to shred, i mean)
Started work at 8:30 am. I work at a building design business (like an architect). I am a trainee. It is really good because my boss and everyone there are really good mates. I am 20 and i have known him for about 7 years or so through squash, he has gone out on a limb and given me this opportunity, so i have to try hard and repay him for the opportunity.

Anyways, me and my boss (his name is keith) are both mates with the 'drug dealer' (it is what he has become

) and have come to the conclusion that we have to stay away from him and his wife. It is sad and seems like we are abandoning him but it is our only option, i think. Everytime i see him he is pushing whatever he has got on him onto me, and i am pretty weak in that way when it comes to peer pressure. All he talks about is drugs, i think it has taken over his thinking, it has become his life and that is extremely bad. Lets not talk about his wife. She is very hot but she is so judgemental on others, even on her husband who she needs to stick by. It is always someone elses fault never her responsibility. It makes me angry just talking about her so i wont.

Anyway my boss was the drug dealers best man at his wedding earlier this year, so it is a tough situation for him to come to grips with as well. He has never tried designer drugs, because he knows he would probably enjoy them too much. Me and my boss have kept telling them to stop dealing and to get off it but they won't. I love you like a brother man, but you have to pull yourself out of this one.

Right it feels good to get that off my chest. Although i am uncomfortable with the decision that has been made. but i know it is the right one.

Anyway had a session last night.

Worked on butterflies for about half and hour last night. They are getting more solid which is good. The highlights were
5 consecutive sameside butterflys
3 consecutive sameside flipside butterflys

Then i did some shred work. I was much more consistent tonight, hopefully i will hit the run i want to hit tonight, fingers crossed.

Worked on my osis. Its getting better every night which i am pumped about.

Clippers are clippers. I did 21 alternating again, and also 29 consecutive flipside clippers which was awesome.

I finished off trying to hit whirl but started getting pains in my knee, so i decided to grab a beer, go for a swim and chill the fuck out.

Until next time
Peace

Oh yeah.

Hit 2 consecutive ducking clippers as well.

Just call me hagesy · Post by **Just call me hagesy** » 21 Dec 2004 16:48

Had a little 1 hr session last night, bit dissapointed i couldn't go for longer but my left shin was playing up, i am a god damn pussy.

Anyway was just doing some shred work, and some consecutives when i drop on a move. This resulted in

38 consecutive Atw (in-out)
8 consecutive flipside atw (in-out)
3 consecutive flipside ducking mirages (I footed the 4th about 3 times)

I think i am pretty close to hitting the string i wrote down. Links i am struggling with is the pdx mirage>ducking mirage>atw (The ducking mirage and the atw are on my flipside), so i got to hit that ducking mirage sweet as. Its feeling pretty good, i love shredding and sweating it up, and after a big session thinking about what you just achieved etc.

I love footbag.

Didn't shred wednesday night

Started drinking and playing pool at 2 in the arvo

Then played cards and drank rumbos until 5:30 thursday morning. 3 hours of sleep, then another unproductive day at work

But i always have footbag to fall back on huh

So i had a shred last night, working on same old same old. Clippers are going pretty strong, although my flipside is a bit inconsistent. alternating is going well, there feels like there is rhythm there.

Butterflys are probably the same deal. Just have to keep skooling them.

Osis feels more and more smooth and easy. I think i will learn to love this move in the future.

then some shred work for an hour or so. No real highlights. My left shin started playing up which in the end started to make my left knee throb. But it feels all right now, so i might have an early morning shred. What a way to start the day.

I love footbag.

Have been shredding a fair bit over christmas. Just trying to get particular moves consistent through repetition. the highlights were:

8 infinities (previous record of 5)
5 flipside consecutive ducking mirages (previous record of 3, i think it may be more consistent than stongside

)
21 alternating clippers (equalled previous record)
4 flipside same side butterflies.

I love footbag.

Just call me hagesy · Post by **Just call me hagesy** » 04 Jan 2005 18:23

i am pumped to have a huge fuckin session after work.

When will work end.
