Yesterday I was working on Torque. I came pretty close to hitting it but I guess it wasn't clean enough. I have a vid of it I might upload soon. I am skooling 3 adds and working on hitting new 4's. A few new 4's I have been hitting are Dimwalk, Ripwalk, Sidewalk, Crispy Torque, Ducking Butterfly, Torque, blur. I also just got my Lonn Irish footbag (Im so happy because I was using Mr. Sandbags for the past 2 weeks and I absolutely despise them!) in the mail yesterday. I sent it to her a couple weeks ago because some panels needed to be fixed and it needed to be refilled and made heavier. Even though I have like 3 pairs of footbag shoes I am probably going to order some new Lavers from WFA.com as soon as I get my paycheck because my old ones are either too small or are just worn out. Ive got some major shredding to do so I better get to it! I will try to keep this updated! Peace

I washed my Lavers today and am waiting for them to dry so I can shred
I found an old torn to shit sandbag laying around the house that I am going to use for now. I stitched it about a year ago and it is patched up all over with duct tape. Hopefully, today will be my first real session in a while
back to bagging!
back to basics!
back to...my basement!

Go for it Jimbo, slay the bag!!

what happened to your felix and your lonn?

shredj · Post by **shredj** » 09 Jan 2005 12:33

my Lonn is dead. she is shown on display on my shelf like a trophy

and i sold my Felix to Hoffa (i probably shouldnt have sold it, but i needed the money really bad)

For how much did you hock the Felix? You can just buy an Abshire if you're still out of bags like a while ago......Abshires ARE the poop. However, I have yet to kick more bags so my decisions are quite brash.

well i have been on the injured list since sunday
my back is so sore i can barely move around

on sunday i went snowboarding. i went to the huge ass giant SNOW HILL. looked more like a mountain to me but yeah. I went to the top and snowboarded down REEEEEALLY fast and decided to go off the biggest jump about 3/4 the way down. I went off it and just FLEW like 30 feet long and high. i never landed a big jump on a snowboard before, so i panicked and landed rite on my lower back. it knocked the wind out of me and hurt so bad for a couple minutes but then i was alrite. just really sore. everyone surrounded around me and asked if i was ok. they were surprised i was alrite. after that, i decided not to snowboard anymore. i think i bruised my kidneys. luckily i am not peeing any blood

hopefully i will be in shreddable condition soon.

me and joe kulacz used to play this footbag game over the computer. you tell each other a string to hit and then u both go try and hit it and record it and send it to each other. the first one done wins. well me an joe decided to do this a few days ago with my sore back. i only shredded for a few minutes because i was so sore. i managed to only hit atw>butterfly.

also i am in dire need of a decent footbag

Jim, me and joe just played that game, and are playing it right now! i am just sending him video of me now. Its a fun game, once you are well we shall have a threesome.....

hooooly shit its been a while. i dont play footbag on a regular basis anymore. its more of a laid back casual thing for me now. ill still go to all the local tournys and have fun but im not addicted to it anymore. the more i realise adds dont matter. so many peoples game is all about adds when it shud be about how you shred, how you go in sync to the beat and move your feet. thats the way i see it. id rather go stylee as hell rather than busting like everyone else and blending in with the crowd

Right, so what have you been hitting lately? Just curious. Good to see you're back.
