dustin's footbag stuff

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 01 Mar 2005 22:01

Yeh, deffenatly that's how I seem to feel sometimes I'll toss the footbag up and be like I hope this works, but then when it does it feels oh so cool I'm just like hey how'd my leg get over there?

hey you're back! i was wondering why you were gone for like......a couple days or seomthing..........wow you're hitting infinities now.....sweet and props and hope no more shin-splints and such

So I think my alternating clippers are really coming along now, gosh they gave me so much trouble. so with the alternating clippers coming the infinities should only get better, which with my osis should help me out a lot. Also, the coolest thing ever happened. I was in my english class after school and I had a bag and was wearing lavers so I wipped out the footbag, and my teacher thought it was really cool, so that was awsome. I can't really play cause I'm sore from broom ball yesterday but oh well broom ball was worth it.

It was awsome I had an impromptu Stanford session on Sunday, and I got to meet a new footbagger, he just started, but Steve got him a bag, and he's ordered lavers so that's awsome. It was also nice because my dad got to meet the people there and he aproved of them, and he enjoyed to talking to all the techys like him. But yeh, I did hit a bunch more infinities in strings and such, I also got some clipper set osis, so I hope I can do alternating ones soon. Session again Tuesday so I'll write on that.

The strings are coming along SWIMMINGLY? Excellent.
The Fall of the Mime Empire is simply prodigious. It was epic to say the least. I wish I had film editing stuff.

Ever think about incorporating footbag into the movies? You could even ghost shred for a fight scene or something and do tricks that would hurt if you made contact. I mean it's just so weird seeing all of your Thrive members wearing lavers but um. . yeah no footbags. Not even on the desks or just lying around somewhere! Yeah so perhaps a return of the ninja with flying whirling swirl of doom to the face! . . just a thought.

What when'd I say that?

The Fall of the Mime Empire is simply prodigious.

What a great word to describe it... prodigious. And we did try and make a footbag film once, well actually it was hacky sack, and let's just say we made it long ago and it sucks. But everyone should go and check out our movies! The wierd thing is the other two in the movies don't play footbag, they just wear lavers, wierd huh. But on to footbag.

For one thing I got this movie player for my GBA advance that lets me watch movies on it, and I put on footbag and it's so awsome. I'm gona post a video of me watching footbag on my GBA it's so cool. But anyways, I had another session yesterday. Three hours of freestyling, it was great. I worked infinities into strings and felt really close to being able to do it for a long time. I also worked some ss butterflys into strings and can probably hit a couple of those in a row. Oh and I can also link alternating osis now okey, but I still can't hit a bunch in a row with ease. As for new tricks I almost hit double leg over, and I did hit clipper set symposium mirage. Um... that's pretty much it, I think next session should be really good, but I always think that.

The infinity being worked into strings and linking osis and stuff. I'd say that's grounds for calling saying it's going swimmingly.

Clipper symp. mirage is nuts. I wish I could do it both sides.

never tried it. . hm.

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 09 Mar 2005 17:01

Oh with the swimmingly I thought you were making fun of a typo of mine. It's a pretty sweet term though, and yes they deffenatly are going swimmingly. Oh and clip. symp. mirages arn't that hard if you can do symp. mirage, I can hit them strongside easily, and flipside too I think.

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 12 Mar 2005 13:45

Wow, I just took the SAT and it was so annoying, I can no longer bubble any more of those stupid bubbles. But I did get to footbag yesterday, and it felt pretty good. I just skooled repeating flipside clippers a ton, and also got tried to get some flip ss butterflys. Whirl strong side is obnoxiously close, I think I'll hit it on Tuesday. Um... worked on osis a bit more, as well as some infinities. That's pretty much it.

Ok first some kind of off topic things. Someone told me I could deffenatly make money on footbag

. Then I tried to download Raganork this MMORPG thing, but I couldn't so I took it as a sign from god that I should go outside and footbag. So I did

I havn't ever really footbagged on mondays because I am scared i will be sore for my big tuesday sessions, but I decided too today, and I'm glad I did. I hit a bunch of new records

strong clipper: 29
weak clipper: 27 (yep I'm almost both sided on those)
infinities: ...3

I'm also mad because my weak mirage is somewhat lacking so I tried drilling mirage > mirage rpt. but I could only get like 4 weak side. It deffenatly improved throughout the session, I think I just need like one more to finish it off.

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 14 Mar 2005 14:22

27/29? very impressive indeed, Dustin. mmm yeah I'm like 32/11

. . so yeah I know what I"VE got to do. But that's for my blog. So I guess excellent job and yeah. The mirages will come in time. You'll just get better as you shred more and more and incorporate them. They can't NOT get better.

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 17 Mar 2005 14:54

Yeh my strong side mirages are fine, and so are my left as long as I don't do them repeatedly. They'll get better. So I had my tuesday session. We mostly played a bunch of foursquare, but I did finnaly hit whirl a couple times so that was awsome. Um... I also drilled some spinning clippers and was so obnoxiously close. Arg, I will get them soon though, I always fall over gosh darn it. But yeh. Maybe i can get some more play time in today if I can finish my homework fast.

I just had a nightish session. I love playing in my backyard. I have a power outlet for music, my dog out there who doesn't eat my footbags and keeps me company, lights in case it's dark outside, and a shower when I'm done, that's so awsome. So I hit whirl a few more times, almost hit spinning clipper a few more times, and um yeh. Also, I decided to make a video as soon as I get time, now that SAT's are over. Um... not much else happening.

Just finished footbagging for an hour and I hit 21 flipside clippers in a row! How super intense! This is so wierd because they are deffenatly still my weak side, but I've hit way more of them consequitivly wierd... oh and I hit 14 alternating clippers, but that's not real exciting because I still suck at them. Hoping I can play some more on Saturday. I would play on Easter too, but I don't think I'll be allowed... oh well...

Had a session on Sun. and today that I have to wright about. Let's see what happened. Well for one thing after hitting the 21 clippers last time I through my footbag up into the gutter and I got it down on sunday. I was just like I don't care anymore I hit 21 flipside clippers! Anyways on Sun. I hit my sick 3 for march, not the one I wanted to hit, but pretty good I think. I also filmed myself some and got to work editing that a little, the effect I was planning turned out nicely I think so that's cool. Today was pretty good because I hit 17 alternating clippers so that was awsome. I also hit 16 ss clipper > op clipper. Um... oh yeh hit ss butterfly flipside. don't think I have ever have before but it felt awsome. Oh and I also hit paradox mirage flipside and bsos in a little string. That's pretty much it. I almost hit butterfly > osis > paradox mirage a couple times but I could never finish it. Oh and I am so so close to spinning clippers it's driving me crazy. I'll probably footbag at Stanford tommorow so that should be awsome.

Wow just had a sweet session. played for a little over 3 hours it was awsome. Lets see I hit double around the world twice first time I've ever actually stuck it I think. Then I had a 20 or so tiltless combo that was nice and smooth. Um... I can touch spinning clipper almost every time now. Um... oh and I got to play around with a net ball so that was cool. I'd be interested in trying it our a little more I think. Yep it was just pretty awsome all around. Oh and twice I got really close to a 4 guiltless combo.
Butterfly > infinitie > osis > paradox mirage but I just touched the paradox mirage both times, like footed it I guess.

double atw is an amazing trick. Huge props, man. Same with the string length. That's pretty amazing.

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 03 Apr 2005 17:20

hit double around the world a couple more times. Oh and it was pretty cool, I got a cookie for playing footbag. The photography people at my school have to do a project about something in motion and one of them gave me a cookie to footbag for the camera. It was pretty darn awsome. Had a cool session today in San Fransisco. It was cool seeing Steve's house and were all this footbag history had happened. I got to play with Carol too so it was really fun. I don't think I hit any new tricks but I did manage to hit butterfly > pdx mirage > butterfly > pdx mirage once and that felt pretty good. Um... yeh that was it, it was an awsome day...

crazydwarf · Post by **crazydwarf** » 05 Apr 2005 18:40

more butterfly > pdx mirage rpt. so that's cool. I finnaly figured out what I have to do for swirl, or is it whirl? It's the leggy oposite butterfly one. Well anyways what I thought was my bad side turned out to be my good side when I tried it so that was cool. So now I can at least hit them clean on one side and super The one the other. I also hit drifter for the first time, maybe both sides I don't remember. I only hit it from the toe, but I think I could do it clipper too. My osis are giving me trouble though, not as much as my spins but oh well. I was trying to hit osis > ss osis for so long, and I don't think I ever really hit it and sealed it... oh well. In happier words' I might be able to go to worlds. That would be so awsome. Today my parents asked me if I'd like to and my dad said he would be interested in going with me. that would be so cool. Not sure if I can or anything but just the idea of it is awsome. Yep that's it...
