Well, I had a pretty good session today, it was pretty wrong. Unfortunatly my pixie sets were horrible today, but oh well. I did get 2 other 3 add hits, ducking mirage, and flipside symp. mirage. I also footed ducking butterfly a ton. I also increased my clipper>op toe drill record up to 7... Oh and I also worked on my dexing so I just dexed around a poll a 100 times on my right foot, and 150 times on my left foot. That got me pretty gittery so it was much harder to stall after that... and I got a couple clipper > op clipper which has always been hard for me.

WooHoo I just got my footfighters footbag,so I went outside for a short session to test it out. It is oh so good. It came so soft, much softer then I knew a 32 should feel. It was onlye a 20 minute session, but I managed to freeze dimwalk, and hit swirl like 2 or so times... Haha awsome

Woohoo awsome session!

I hit 4 over 25 hit combos, like three where 25, and one was 28 or something... ad in one of the long combos I hit symp mirage, butterfly, and ducking clipper woo hoo! Also I hit some of my harder 3 adds a couple times. Plus I had fun trying out this new game I made up. I bassicly just held my 3 footbags in my hand and started juggling, then I'd drop one and stall it, and do a short string or a trick and toss it back up and keep jugling, it was pretty fun, and gave my legs a chance to rest. Oh yeh, and I hit 18 consecutive repetitions of op toe > same clipper so like 36 contacts in total, so that beats my old record... ?Yep awsome session

Had a nice session today, I didn't hit any too long combos, but I did break my pixie > pixie record by getting 24 in a row. Also my FF bag is coming along great, it's so nice and soft. Um... yeh I guess that's pretty much it. Oh yeh and I hit swirl in a string, and hit pixie ss osis so that's another 4 add. I couldn't hit pixie osis though for some reason. It felt really awkward hitting the pixie and then spinning the way I usually do, I guess because I was circling the bag the oposite way I was spinning... I'll have to work on that some more.

Wow I had a cool night session. It started out awsome, because I hit my new record 20 op toe > same clip so 40 contacts in total. That's two repeats better then my session 2 times ago, so that's pretty awsome. No advancement on my pixie record, but that's ok since I broke it last time. I also hit one of my chalenges clipper > ss pickup > pixie > pixie set ss clipper through two times. Unfortunatly my whatday call ems, infinities, are horrible I barely got one and almost got two like once... granted that was the first time I had done them, but I really need to work on my flip butterflies... The coolest thing though was that it was night on my porch with the light on, with the lights on, I felt like a super zen master or something, it was awsome.

Well, I haven't played footbag seriously in a while (well ok not that long only like 3 days) because I have had a cold. It is so annoying when playing because I'm a little achy and my throte drys out really fast, not fun... so anyways I tried playing today but only had a short 30 minute session because my cd player stopped working after that time and my throat was starting to get annoying anyways. It started out horribly I don't know what it was, the no practice in a couple days, the dark, or the cold, but I wasn't doing to hot. especialy on the flip mirages wich I thought I had down. so I decided to do some serious flip butterfly work, and it actually turned out ok. most of the session was just that, and by the end I could easily play into them, but I didn't really try playing out of them too much yet... oh well... hopefully my cold will get better soon.

Again, just an OK session. I can't find my best sandbag though so that's really annoying, oh well this forces me to get used to my 32's... I did break my pixie > pixie record by getting 28 which actually ties my tiltless record... kind of wierd... not to long of a session though, my throat still starts to bother me after a while unfortunatly... hopefully the cold will be completly gone by next week. I also learned 2 new juggling patterns which is pretty cool. Not much happening really, I think my footbag learning goes in bursts, at least as far as new tricks go. Like 2 weeks ago I started hitting all kinds of new 3's all in one session, but then not too many new tricks per session since then... oh well I just want to get my strings longer and start including harder tricks in my tripless strings... plus my infinities suck, I can't link them arg! I'll get them though...

Alright well that settles it. I need to juggle. I'm the only footbagger I know of who can't juggle. It comes with the trade, I guess.

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 03 Feb 2005 19:32

Yeh, I don't know what it is, footbaggers must just like to juggle... it's wierd I always talk about how my hand eye cordination sucks, and how my foot eye is better, but then I start juggling and no one believes me

, not that my jugglings that good or anything... But anyways, I had a pretty awsome session today... it was one of my longer session again so it was more like an hour. I also think my endurance is getting better so that's awsome... it's not really that I get tired, it's just that my feet start shaking so I can't catch the footbag... I don't know what that means, but oh well. The reason the session was so good is, I hit smear > symp. mirage > dimwalk

and I hit pixie ss clipper bsos in like a 15 tiltless string, so that is awsome. Oh and I got a two new juggling tricks too so that's cool as well.

CURSES! Beaten to the flipside pixie! You will be the death of me, Dustin. But mark my words. Mark them well. This is not over. Oh no. Not by a long shot.

Just joking. Dude that is an insane combo!! Much props to you.

ohh man sweet string dude. much props and man.............no sporps.....sorry tom if it's like, patentn pending I won't use it anymore

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 07 Feb 2005 17:43

Thanks for all the props guys, I felt so glad when I hit it... but anyways, I had a cool session today. I made a special cd for it, because i was getting tired of all my other cds... but yeh, I didn't hit anything new, but I did get a nice 29 hit tiltless combo, and I hit pdx mirage a bunch... oh yeh and I got my guiltless record up to 4, and they were all unique... hit swirl once in a string and a couple times just normally. I also tried playing to the music once, and it felt really good. the coolest thing was that I really noticed my improvement with string length and stuff, that was awsome. Oh and one more thing, I think I might head over to Stanford tommorow and see if I can play with some Steve Goldburgs group. I'm kinda nervous about it, becuase I'm not that good, and I'm not sure what the age group the people are, but hopefully it will go well...

Wow, footbagging at Stanford on tuesday was so awsome. I learned much more then countless hours spent practicing by myself. I have never been able to understand how to do continues tricks in one rythm, I have always had to eventually freeze my trick and think about what to do next. It feels so much cooler just going with it. I also got to play four square for the first time, and that was much more fun then I was expecting. I'll deffenatly be going as much as I can now, and everyone was super nice, so no need to be nervous. Oh and I hit spinning clipper for the first time too.

hey dustin mad props and I envy you and the Steve Goldberg Shred thing you just went to.....lucky guy!

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 16 Feb 2005 13:26

oh snap - dustin hasn't blogged in a while. This must mean he's going to come back telling us that he's busting huge! AHH!

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 16 Feb 2005 13:27

haha...yeah like he's building up the pressure

I can see it now:

Hey all, I just totally busted ripwalk>osis>nemesis!

haha.....then I won't blog for a while....

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 17 Feb 2005 16:56

He he... but um... I havn't really been hitting anything huge like that, I've mostly not been blogging because I am having to re learn much of the stuff I already knew. This is because I was doing everything wrong before!

well ok not really, but I am having to relearn stuff so that I can have a more flowwing style. I really like the new style, and my run length is deffenatly getting longer with it. It's wierd, because I have thought that I was into footbag for a while, but I just now relize that I have only really been like [color=#]into[/color] it for like a month now. Before that I was either only playing while kicking with my friends (don't get me wrong I do that a lot) but neither of them footbag so it's not the same, or I might play for like a half an hour at home here or there. Playing with the Stanford crew on Tue. is awsome though, and I deffenatly plan on keep doing that. I feel like I'm really progressing. Oh one kind of cool thing is that I relearned osis today. I have been spinning the wrong way all this time Ug I feel so stupid. But now I can do it the right way both sides and work it into runs both sides so that feels good. It's really nice that the Stanford folks are so nice though. When I first went I was expecting them to not really care about me cause I just wasn't that good. There awsome though, and it's really fun playing with them, all of them that I've met so far are really nice. Until later.

Wow, I was gone last week and then I came back and things were so different. First modified was down, and then when I finnaly got back in there are like a billion unread posts. Then I see Jericho finnaly passed me in post count. Oh well... Footbags ok I was starting to get shin splints I relised so I took a couple days off and they went away. I just went to the stanford session again today and that was cool. I hit some infinities both sides finnal. Also my alternating clippers are getting much better, and my osis are getting nice and smooth it feels like. Glad modified is up again I thought it might be gone for good

He's back! I was wondering when you'd pull your blog back up from the dreaded PAGE 2. Welcome back. BLOG it.

Props-n-props-n-stuffings for those infinities. They're still a mystery for me. . . . I'm getting okay at them but I still don't know how I do it. It's weird. I just send 'er on up there and hope it lands.

alright later, man. Good to see the name back up and posting.
