well, BSOSnes is top on my list but low on my capabilities. I'm schooling BSOS as fast as I can. I've nearly gotten flipside insides solid but my toe stalls are vaguely even so that's cool. OUtside BSOS is hard for me. ATW's gonna be hell to re-school....much more on my flipside. But for flipside butterflies I need to school my flipside clipper stalls and which is one Im' working on as of now. I'm getting on it but while I'm schooling my flipside, I'll be schooling new tricks with my strong side. I.E, butterfly, ATW, Mirage and such.......I'm wroking on it.......

most butterflies
I assume this means you can butterfly pretty solid now, that's awsome... it seems that once you get butterfly it isn't that much harder then a clipper.

yeah. most tricks I saw as godlike are now simple. I would have once thought that an ainside stall required professional training and shit. Now it's just one of my warm-up routines. Same for ATW

It was also cool that a couple nights before I planted ATW for the first time, I saw my legs doing ATWs for like, 40 minutes nonstop.........




today, I also forgot that two 'ghetto' kids topped by to 'shred' with 'us'. For people who don't respect anythihng but rap, they were better than when I started. One of them got like 5 toe kicks and then 'kicked' his 'Nike's' into the 'ceiling'. I also learned to go like toe>clipper>toe>clipper while walking....I don't know if it's a big improvement but I liked it. Kinda reminded me of....Dylan Fry in 2004 weekend video...he crosses the street with clippers, toe stalls and some rakes and I was like....WHOA! I gots to learn that! So i"m on my way there.......My bags are getting remade due to some shit-ass-fuck-dick-twot-fag thread that snapped right when I was about to break in my bag......



EVERYONE's getting new bags this year......about 4 of my friends got juices and a couple more got new shred shit. My one friend got white/blue lavers in mesh outer but all he did was mod it laces but no hard-core modding. I would have done it But I'm waiting for Red ones.......my other friend for a Sandmaster. It's really neat because most of them are shred-inspired by me and a couple other friends I had in the beginning of the year. The weird part is, I'm the only original 'lunch shredder' left. (We're called that because I don't eat lunch and shred instead and most of my friends, after they eat, shred with me. Most of them just gave up after finding footbag too hard....it really sucks. Sometimes they go but not as often a me............oh, well. BUt it's cool becuse we're getting about 8 people on a good day to shred with us in the lunch room so that's tits.........back to stitching.

That's awsome you have a big group like that to play with at school. I usually just footbag with hacky sacker's and throw in moves now and then.

I don't know how but I just lost all. It seems that whenever I"m in school, I shred like a manic but at home, I'm like a 5 year old playing with a 30 dollar bag and losing his/her temper. I couldn't do butterfly or ATW (Well, toomuch anyway for ATW) in my house but at school, I'm pulling off strings of ATW, Butterfly, Mirage and then my impossible dragonfly kick with at least 8 contancts (crap for you but gold for meeeeeeeeee). I need to school more like outsider suggested. I'm planning to go to the Somerville shred one of these days...like in the summer so I can actually be a little better.. ....woot

Is that 8 tiltless contacts? if it is, that's really good for just having learned around the world. Good job on that, I would suggest trying pixie and pickup now. Pixie has always seemed eaier for me, but neither is that hard after getting ATW for the first time.

well, like I said, only once in a while, My friend evern tried to record me today and I couldn't do it I swear to god though, right when he finished his recording, I busted ATW, butterfly then clipper stall and was about to do something else.......FUCK!! Oh yeah, mirage is not as solid as my ATW OR BUTTERFLY so that's something that needs to be worked on too......so long to go

My goal should be to post in your blog more then I've posted in mine, hope you don't mind all my unhelpful comments... but anyways I think mirage is much harder to hit then pixie or pickup, and if you can do pixie and pickup you can do pixie > pickup which feels oh so cool... Also I don't know about you but I always get tired of drilling one thing so if I mix it up I can sometimes drill longer. good luck :D

no problem. Thanks for the comments. But it takes me an average of about 2 weeks to learn a new trick. I've been keeping tabs and I found out that larning inside stall, clipper stall and ATW took me about 2 weeks so will pixie and pickup.. And even then, there's my other side to worry about .......notwoot.

my friend told me that it was only three months until a battle of the bands.....I really wish I knew hendrix.....Well, I tried Dustin's pickup an is really close to it but if I'm right, is it clippper>dex out-in


or clipper>dex in-out?

I do the latter one. Maybe I'm wrong. My BSOS ATW is not coming along so well but that's understandable. I mean, it IS my right side

clipper > Op In-Out dex > Op Toe would be a clipper set mirage, a very useful move. Pickup is SET > OP IN [DEX] > SAME TOE [DEL]. You can kind of think of it as doing a pixie in reverse I guess, but the movement is a little different. Oh yeh and I wouldn't worry about it taking you a while to school moves, for me at least it took me for ever to school ATW. Once I got it though Pixie, Pickup, and mirage were much easier to learn.

dustin's cool for suggesting this so thanks dustin! Woot.

Anyways, the problem I'm realizing all you guys with lavers if that those walls on your mods give it near impossible Newbie pixies. I'll be doing pixies in no time with my superstars! But on a bad side, I'll be lazy when I get my lavers.....damn......I'll work on my other stuff too soon. I LOVE FOOTBAG!!!! Whic reminds me....I have to practice my guitar we have a battle or something coming up soon

toe set>dex in-out> flipside toe is a pixie, The actual jobs is TOE > SAME IN [DEX] > OP TOE [DEL] . Don't get confused though with pixie sets and the move pixie, if it's a set then that means you do it up time. As for toe walls, people cut the toe walls off of there lavers sometimes, so you could try that if you want. Sounds like your doing well, and good luck with guitar.

haha thanks dustin......so pixie set is an uptime trick....( wait, I'm not the best in job things....) so while it's uptime, you can do the pixie set and then,.........for example, stall the bag after that in a clipper?

Then what would pixie be? I'm kinds confused. thanks for all the tips!

Woot. I didn't shred much today. I'm only a dedicated shredder when I have just experienced 8 or more hours of sleep. So some ATWs, chitty clipper....haha I dropped more than I did stall clippers today. it swas prett shitty. I dropped so much today. I really can't wait until I go 2 Lake Placid this friday! BITCH! I SHRED FOR TWO TWO TWO TWO TWO DAYS!!!!! WOOTNESS!

I'm so pumped. Since I can't snowboard for shit and I don't like skiing too much, I'll stitch and shred for two days in lake placid....by then, I hope to have my butterflies, solid, ATW solid, a rough getting of opposite dex ATW, Flipside insides solid, New flipside outside, Maybe start on flipside ATW, a rough mirage, good dragonfly kick so that'll lead to clean mirages and flipside clipper. And maybe finish my bag for testing and send some to people I owed favors to.....fuck I lose money.....

AND I'LL GO STREAKING!!!!!!!!!! WOOT FOR FROSTBITE ON YOUR NIPPLES!!!! YAY

Kick in front of people. People need to see the bag fly around the Lake Placid region. Unless I just kind of missed them. Didn't stay for long.
