If anyone's wondering why i've had so much time to sew bags, its because i've been sick for three days, and stayed home

that means i can't play

osgood shclatters sucks. heres a pic.
Image

the bump thing about two inches below my knee cap is the osgood schlatters. kinda hard to miss it i guess. it hurts real bad and stops me from doing any double downs, whirls or symp moves. Also, I don't even know if i'll be able to wear my new lavers cause they have pretty much no support. I'm thinking about snagging some clima 3's off abay, they look good and easy to mod.

blah i'm gonna have so much school work to do over the weekend.

You know what sucks about being 13 and playing footbag. Not being able to go to tournies alone. I hope when I can drive my rents will let me go alone, so i can hang out with cool shredders instead of them at tournies.

That should end my bitch session. I try to keep this blog positive, but i needed to rant.

peace out

I just borrowed a digi cam from Penn State, and started filming.

So far the footage I have sucks and I hate my style.

ah well, i have more chances to film.

a video should be up in a bit, me and my friend are gonna do some snazzy editing with his editing system he got for christmas.

Yuck. So, I'm done filming, even though I don't want to be. I have about 40 minutes worth, and most of it SUCKS!! but there is some good stuff in there.

Basically, there are two reasons why I don't like the footage I got.

1) style. i'm super skinny and i think that makes me look weird playing footbag, but also, my butterflies are kinda pull through and ugly.

2) consistency. I will need all of the footage i shot to get like 3 minutes worth of a good video. I don't like that at all. so i'm gonna start schooling my moves.


long term goals are:

1000+ kicks
500 toe stalls
100 inside stalls
75 alternating clips
50 ss clips both sides
50 mirage both sides
50 legover
60 BOP's
30 osis
60 butterfly
50 alternating pixies

I realize that these are hard goals, but i want it like that. once I get these i think i will be able to consider myself a really consistent player.

One of the bleed holes is coming apart, but its nothing I can't fix up. :)

Thanks for the trade.

I just had a phat session with Scott Bevier and Andy. I don't know Andy's last name, but he's fun to kick with.

Scott had like a 30 contact run with lots of insane 5s like blurry whirl bsos, PS whirl mobius pdx blender. Yeah it was sweet.

He was hitting flurries all over the place, along with cool symple stuff too.

I was playing decent. I hit drifterx5 midrun and had a good pixie shuffle run.
I had pixie gyro mirage really close a couple and a new 5 off my foot a couple times. I won't say what it is though, I think talking about moves you footed is pretty lame.

Andy was playing well. He's been kicking since October and already has pixie and stepping sets and smooth rev swirls.


later nathan
