Ok so I modified my lavers today and yesterday and they came out really nice in my opinion, and I love them. I didn't really cut the material at all but they already had holes in them. I cut out all the canves and now they are so nice and soft. With my new modded lavers I went out side and footbagged. I drilled my flipside clipper for a long time, because it's really weak, and now I can get toe > SS clipper flipside all the time. That was awsome because it was coming along really slow till now. With my flip clipper better I hit clipper > SS osis which I havn't ever hit before. I also had some long strings that included 2 3's each. I hit a 15 tiltless that had Butterfly, Osis, ATW, Pixie, Pickup, clipper, OS mirage. I also hit a 16 tiltless that had 2 Butterfly's, clipper, OS mirage, and then ATW, Pickup, and Pixie BSOS. Footbag's going really well now, I modified my lavers today, got my flip clippers going, and ordered a 32 pannel bag today. :D

I had another good session today. I was pretty sore from volleyball yesterday but i really wanted to play so i did. I worked on mirages a lot and I almost broke my tiltless record, I got 15 a couple of times. I really feel that I am finnaly starting to be able to flow. I don't have to stop between each move and then set it. My mirage's where coming along nicely as well as my flipside pixie and pickup. I really like the feal of mirage > mirage and pixie > pickup so I have been using those a lot. I really wanted to beat my tiltless record, but I forced myself to not only use my strong side, so even though I didn't beat it I felt good with myself. Only problem was that at the end of the session my legs where shaking so it was extremly hard to catch the footbag.

OK well I was thinking about hitting pixie legover all today and yesterday, and I thought I could do it. So after getting home from volleyball practice I picked up a bag and on like my fifth try I hit it cleanly I think :D . This is the first double dex I have hit well. I have hit dimwalk before, but always very slopply... just thought I'd post.

thanks for the props man...
Well, I've been gone for a week and a half for Christmas in Indiana and I just got back. I wasn't able to play much because I was at my grandparents house with 20 other people and it was freezing outside. So that sucks... but now I'm back just for fun I hit clipper set osis witch was giving me trouble and I got it in pants on like 1st or 2nd try so that felt good. Hope I'm not too rusty...

OK well a while ago I worked on ducking butterfly a ton, and I finnaly got it like once or twice a while ago, but then I stopped schooling it because it's a little too advanced for me... now I know this is gona sound stupid, but I hadn't really tried ducking clipper yet. So yeh today I tried it and got it on my first try. It's actually pretty easy for me so that's awsome :D

Alright I ordered a footfighter footbag so that should be awsome when it arrives. Also I think I just got pixie sets which should help immensly with my double dexing. I think I can do a pixie butterfly, dimwalk?, once my abshire breaks in :D

I came in contact with a footfighter just yesterday for the first time (or at least I think it was). It was quite nice. Small (I like) and easily shredable. How does one come by ordering one? I only ask because I've never heard of them until yesterday.

Yeh sure, I've messed your blog up enough with my responses :D

Oh and you can order the footfighters from Ellis, but I'm not sure how many he had left, once flipsider v. 5 comes out you will be able to order them from his new shop though. You can try PMing him to see if he has any more.

Not much to report today, just trying to get my pixie sets down better, and still breaking in my abshire. Now off to eat sourdough bread dipped in oil and vinager... quite possibly my favorite food combo ever.

Ok well I just had a small session, and I think I got my sick 3 done, so I'll be entering the division 4 this january... I would say what it is, but I'm not sure if that's allowed or anything... oh well, it's finals week and so that means lots of footbag because we get out at like 12 everyday :D . Plus I pay attention in calss so I don't really need to study... I absorbe like a sponge.

yeh being able to take stuff in in school is deffenatly awsome. Well I had another ok session today... spent the first part schooling flip clippers which is not the most fun, but I did get better. Then I worked in my flip legovers which didn't go to well but oh well... my flip pixie's are now just as good as my regular ones... there like the same seriously. Oh and I hit a 35 tiltless combo, but it started off as a pixie drill so the begining is just 10 pixie> op pixie > op pixie and such... oh yeh plus I learned why I can't get pdx mirage... it's because my flip mirages are no good and that's pretty much all it is so that's awsome... I tried practicing flip mirages but they take a lot out of me, I did hit it a couple times though so that was good...

Woo, just had an hour long sesssion, and I hit the most new tricks for myself ever... Lets see... I hit Flip butterfly, symp. mirage, dimwalk (had hit but never sealed really), swirl (stylish as all get up), and pixie set legover I guess (don't know it's real name)... I have had trouble getting my session lengths up so this time I put on a cd and decided I'd play through the whole thing, by the end I was dead, and I only played for an hour... really tried to work on my flip mirages because they are lacking, and I need them for parodox mirage. I also beat my pixie > pixie record which is now 16 and my mirage > mirage which is a pitiful 9. I also hit a 3>3>3 simp mirage > ducking clipper > ss butterfly I think, and I hit a 3 > 2 > 4 butterfly > mirage > dimmwalk...

so in recap

New tricks
flip butterfly
symp mirage
dimwalk (first 4)
pixie set legover
swirl

New Runs
3>3>3
3>2>4

Did you bsos those pdx mirages? Oooooh man if you did please allow me to open up my duffle bag and pull out some props and place it on the table for you to put on your mantle or something. I always have trouble hitting a paradox mirage on my flipside and when I do, I usually can't do anything else from it because I'll just catch it and run around the room. I "raise the roof" sometimes too.

Nope not BSOS yet... :cry: Oh well, I'll get them eventually... I had another shorter shred session today. It's getting really annoying (well not really, I'm hardly ever annoyed) because I have been tired and soar from my longer shred session saturday and sunday... Like I can't hit very long strings, because my feet are shaking so I can't hit anything... anyways, I manly practiced basics because I was kind of tired and soar... I got around 50 alternating toe stalls, so that was kind of fun, I also got 8 rounds of same clipper > op toe rpt... so I beat my record, I'm thinking I might just rest tommorow so I can try and get some really long strings on wednesday..

OK, can't really talk right now, because I have to go to bed... but I just read what smear was, and I was wondering if I could hit it, so I did on like my second try :D I was barefoot though, so I'll try and work it into my next session... oh yeh and also my sick 3 is up! It's in the Div. 3, because apparently not enough people sent in videos to make a 3 and a 4... I'm not sure about how good of chances I have, but oh well should be fun...

edit: it wasn't smog, it was smear, sorr I got the names mixed up...
