It`s not. Hitting atomic out of dlo is the impressive part of that string, imo.
You're so right Ken. This is just what I thought when I reread that post
yesterday. I posted this 4 months ago, when DLO was near impossible
for me. I couldn't imagine hitting Pixie out of it, so I didn't even come
close to the point of thinking about the other links :oops: :wink:

actually, i think its different for everyone. I can atomic out of a dlo no problem but im just learning to pixie out of them. Maybe it just depends on what you learn first and what you practice.

In any case, for me, hitting ripstein last week was a huge accomplishment. I have been wanting to hit that move for a very long time. Also, last week or so I hit 6 blurry whirls- that was an accomplishment too. EDIT: alos, the night I ducked my quantum set was a milestone.

Excellent topic.

Since i'm still new to this thing, i wont have any fancy, class A tricks
to post, so my account here will deal with milestone sessions mostly.
In each of those sessions something happened, that really changed my little game and made me realized one of those magic freestyle secrets :

4.10. :fiirst magellan. "there is no cant do, only havent yet"

11.10 : after working on clippers and pixie sets, i tried pixie same clip
and got it first try . Basics are the key (of course they are...)

02.11 : plo>plo finally . This the only moves i can hit bsos, the feeling
hitting it was pure satisfaction ; i kinda sucked the whole session,
but i didnt gave up and was generously rewarded.

08.11. : that day i iht my first symposium mirage, and i realized, to play
well, you need both : practice and imagination.
But the main thing that day was, that recieved my first good bag,
a mini made by Leuch . I called it Claire and hit my one and only
double legover with it :D

15.11. . first time i had a decent, not boring, tiltless run with a couple of 3
in it. felt great, and i began to imagine where all this is going..

18.11. : My first 4adds ; dimwalk and bs smear ! A whole new world...

27.11. : The work shop shred . 5 hrs of madness. First time i learned
a move both sides in one session, first osii, clipper to clipper,
first time i showed kids how to toe stall. We played so long and
it was the first time, i could play sponaneous and effortlessly .

13.12. :I felt that my drilling obsession begins to pay off, the first time
i felt talented and creative, realizing that i progress well (nu
trick every session, flips improving...). Discipline and passion.

i love footbag. i love footbag. i love footbag. i'm one loving nerd.
peace.

my biggest milestone was when i found out about footbag, and my first butterfly.(i know it might not be the hardest trick in the world but i just love to do them and plus it was the first trick i learned both sides).
