so today, it was kinda a lay back day for school so I had shits of time to do nothing but footbag. so I started on a new bag and did these:

Flipside Mirage
Mirage
ATW even more solid
Pixie Sets (strong side only)
clipper flipside and put all this crap into strings just to see if they be running smoothly yet.

shit. by the way, can any of you guys help me in out>in ATW's? do you move your hip in like in an in >out ATW?

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 22 Feb 2005 17:31

hm I never really had to think about which way to move the hip. I don't think atw relies all that heavily on the hip motions. But I'm guessing whatever motion you do for in > out you can do for out > in since it's the same weight distribution and you're using the same leg. . just a different direction of dexterity. Meh?

Meh. Meh indeed.......

I'll try that thanks man.....

anyways, my facile cam again today.....and half inch of it had fucking holes!!!!!!!!! have any of the other stitchers here recvied fucked facile which had like, mad holes on it? I'm feel like I got scrwed over more times than Pamela lee in a hot tub.

so I'm almost down with another experimental bag.....but I'm wondering..how do the stitchers here manage to get their haxes and pents to not wrinkle up?

meh I'll try to do it....it happens in the first couple shapes then late ron in the bag, it fucks up and starts to wrinkle up...........I don't know..

It's kinda hard to avoid the wrinkles, I am still in the process of getting them out of my bags too.

I think it is a matter of really paying attention to how the stitches line up and the forces you are putting on the panel as you get it lined up for stitching.

Good luck man! And post some pictures of your bags!!

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 24 Feb 2005 15:43

ah ok. I'll work on that tom thanks soo much for the tip man!

as for pics, I'll go get a digital first and then pop some up on my blog.................hopefully, soon

so I was reading Tom's blog and read a post that said that the local Y may have a great room for shred.......I was like, "WHOA!" so I'll check that out this summer. maybe i can go kick with Mr. Schneider there........hmmmm.........I wonder how much one has to pay for using a room

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 01 Mar 2005 12:47

so modified back up finally...I was missing an arm and a leg for days without it....

anyways, I'm trying to make more bags for experimental purposes to find out the best echnique in stitching.....

uhh....mirage is so awesome now...I can drill it...I hit imirage b2b while practicing a while ago....uhh..op dex ATW's are cool but ATW's are solid on one dex now......flipside clipper's almost ther......

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 01 Mar 2005 19:37

mirage>mirage repeat looks super stylish, keep it up... and I want to see your bags too!

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 02 Mar 2005 05:03

thanks dustin........anyways, yeah. I'm currently still effin aorund with styles in stithcing for my bags trying to find the quickest and best and easiest way to stithc a bag..........it's really a biz-natch...

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 02 Mar 2005 17:26

so again, finished another bag late at night so I was friggin' tired and accidentally popped a hole through the facile....well that was cleaned up using freesole and I have to admit even though the glass is murder on facile, it's one of the best fillers I've used it's soo oooo o o o o o oo oooo o o oo oo o o close to the abshire fell but I think that steel shot would even that just about out.......whoa....anyways, my bags are still in the experimental stage........my double stitching and whatnot.....uhhh.....ok I need help:

Illusion

I've hit mirage really quite well now..it's kinda my favorite trick..but does one need to learn fairy for illusion? just to like, get the dexing thing down?

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 02 Mar 2005 17:34

Illusion, you say? well now.

Fairy is helpful because you can practice exaggerating the out > in dex that is oh so very a part of the illusion. All I can tell you is that when you set the bag up in front of you (keep it straight), make a big swoop swap (we like the swap) motion with your leg and almost curl you leg at the knee and shove the leg back under the bag as it's falling. That's my attempt at describing the exaggeration that people need to do with illusions. People do the dex too thin for such a basic move and it doesn't need to be. Keep it big and goofy looking and after a while it'll be so easy that you don't think as much as you would in a mirage. You can just tell your leg to almost "flop" over it lazily. Just push it and assume that the dex will be clean and whip the leg around it. But exaggerate first. Then do the second after a while. Have fun. ILLUSION. Now you see it? Now you don't. Whoosh. Like that.

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 02 Mar 2005 18:02

well, thanks to that tip, I now will attempt fairy sets everyday until summer......then I'll start practicing fairies everyday......then illusion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

power, coarsing through my veins.........oop wrong power. bathroom break

thanks man. I'll do this and drill it like chinatown

(that was on me man)

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 02 Mar 2005 19:42

You know what? I suck at explaining the illusion. Um . . You should watch people do illusions for a while visualize yourself doing it that way. But still keep in mind you have to do the dex as big as possible at first. That'll only help in the long run. And thanks for the shocked faces. It made me happy.

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 03 Mar 2005 12:10

ok. no illusion today but just some kicking.........MINUTES before I left for school, I finally finished experimental bag number 6. this one's using various thread and whatnot........god it's a fucking frankenstien...or a frankenstein....I don't know what to call him...I'd love to post a pic but I'm too fat and lazy to buy a digital camera or borrow one to show all you guys........oh well

not much shred today......mirage is so sweet but it's hindered when I wear baggy-ass pants. I lost my Mr. Sandbag today when we were kicking because some kid just ran over, grabbed it and took off....I gues that's why I still have two of them left..I guess I better buy one more just in case........and uh..................I'm trying to make naother bag but my mom's fed up with all the facile going to waste and such and such and that i don't lsiten anymore and yadda....i wasn't really listening. Anyways, that's about it.....uhhhhh it was a terribly shitty day as April didn't get much done footbag...uhhhh......................gonna make more bags.......less shitty bags..................school tricks..............................................................................................not lose bags.............

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 03 Mar 2005 12:21

I just had a random thought:

All my footbag brings all the boys to the yard
and they're like, are they better than yours?
and I'm like they're better than yours
I'd stitch for you but i'd have to charge.......

oh my god this is so gay.

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 07 Mar 2005 18:29

wow I haven't blogged in a while.

Here's the dealio:

I've been making bags lately.......but my attempt at a "coach bag" coloed bag (light-ass blue and tan) ended upw ith no dice........so dang. But Now I'm making one out of Orange and Blue..........which would be awesome to see once completed so I'll take care of aking this bag.......april's been really kicking with us lately......she's mad hot. Keeping on track, I'm trying to find parts for my goddamn strat but I can't find bridge pieces anywhere.....crap. I've hit mirage on command now.....I love that trick like Chinatown........Flipside is almost just as good without much schooling. I really have to learn all dexes and flipside ATW's, then legovers, the pixies both sides and then fairies......story of my life. I honestly love footbag......but playing music has gotten so much in the way.. I just need to make more time for both........more time god dang-diddly, AW HELL DIDDLY DING DONG CRAP!

I Can't do it!

hmmmmm.............maybe I shouldn't stalk TOO much.......

LittleBoy footbag · Post by **LittleBoy footbag** » 08 Mar 2005 15:33

So it's really nasty today........I haven't any time for footbag schooling when it comes to outside so I just kick a little inside but not too much. Uhhhhhh.................................I'm still working on my orange and blue bag.......
oh well.

But mriages are uber nice now but I still want to hit out>in ATW's......so I'll get that maybe this week?

Dude, good luck with the April thing but since she into footbag do you think it's a good idea to leave her photo up on a footbag site that she might see? If I was her and I read all the nice thing you said I would be flatter. If I saw my picture up I would be scared.......

No offence that just how I would see it from a girls view point.....

Your still pimp!
