April 15th

Today i only kicked for a bit, but i managed to hit this:

Dimwalk > ripwalk > blur > handcatch

I was happy because i flip stepped out of butterfly, i should try like parkwalk or something after that.

I also worked heaps on ankles today. I did stuff like walk overs, and drilled insides and wraparounds. I feel like i am getting more flexibility.
Speaking of walk overs and shit, i did this today which i am happy with:

ripwalk > reverse walkover both sides.
dimwalk > reverse walkover.

Im not hagesy

I played about 2 hours with dan and jon today. It was good. Dan once again played very well, he had this 30+contact run at the tram stop in the middle of the city and that was pretty crazy

We also went to a sports centre called MSAC (Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre) and played some table tennis and squash! Dan Ednie is pretty good at table tennis and he showed some talent

I sucked at everything pretty much but it was alot of fun. Later on me and Jon Lee had a tight 5 set match in squash ( we didn't quite play to the scoring rules, do they even have sets in squash?) and It was heaps of fun!

Night sesh:

Scoholed atomics and hit flipside tap

flip Atom smasher

flip Legbeater:)

The sets in squash are called games. There are all different scoring rules.
The one we use up here is first to nine, you have to serve to win a point other wise it is a handout. If youse are both 8 all, The person who got to 8 first has to choose either long or short. If he calls long it goes to 10. if he calls short the game goes to 9.

props on the atomic sets.

11 guiltless (including ripwalk)
double switchover bsos again

long runs which included bubba bs, pdx illusion bs, smear, plo bs

butterfly > pdx illusion > buttterfly > pdx illusion > butterfly > pdx mirage > smear >dimwalk

Anyways, heres what Dan hit im not sure if it is exactly correct but:

Fog > Phoenix > ripwalk > blurriest > spinning osis > PS Whirl

Scott also did some awesome runs including:

fairy butterfly
drifters

Good work urano

Uranos · Post by **Uranos** » 21 Apr 2005 01:15

Thanks Pat.

Pat is a new footbag player in Melbourne, he was very keen to play and now he is learning the basics like Atw, mirage, leg over. He can already do toe stalls pretty ocnsistantly and he hit ATW bsos the other day.

Everyone welcome PAt to the community!

I welcome pat to the community.

Me and urano were like having this convo - hes like "the easiest three dex is smog". What a rediculous statement the easiest is by far flurricane - what planet is he from. O well everyone is different

Pat welcome to the community. Feel free to try and read as much as you can about footbag - especially from www.footbag.org since footbag is 90% mental in my opinion...

Uranos · Post by **Uranos** » 21 Apr 2005 05:33

Thanks for welcoming him guys,

Well i think smog is the easiest 3 dex trick, but people have different opinions. Flurricane!

good one Ollie. Flurricane is on the massive tricks section on flipsider so

Well i hit some new stuff just then in barefeet

symple smudge (similar to sailing toe delay)
symple smear! (similar to pixie symposium miraging toe delay)

Today i played pretty bad

Dan Ednie, Scott and I went to Chadston (like a mall) to kick, and we kicked with these newcomers wh ohad previously played "hack" before.

Yeah i kinda played real bad, but i did some new combo's:

ripwalk > ducking clipper > ripwalk > ducking clipper (drop)
Also at home i hit Symp Quantum leg over, and symp quantum butterfly in front of my relatives so it was cool, they brought a dog.

The best part of the day was grape throwing. It was the best!

Nailed some cars and people too
