.....Gillette.....Steve Gillette

Post by stva »

Alright, a footblog. My name is Steve Gillette, been playing since late February, and a member of the Las Vegas Zombies/Rebel Footbag Club. I'm not too good yet, although I have been shreddin' with Sin City's best, so I am on my way. But please forgive me I don't know how this "footblog" thing is supposed to work. So I'll just start listing the (few) moves I do know.

All stalls (except the heel, but I have done it a couple times)
Legover
Mirage
ATW (both)
Fairy
Pixie
Pickup
Illusion
Clipper
Butterfly
Stepping Set (sort of)
Pixie-Legover (only right side)

I actually wouldn't be surprised if I missed anything. So anyway I started this because Loren Baum (AKA Bum, FootbagginBum) asked me to. Well that's all my feeble brain can think of right now. I hope Ben and Bum are happy now and can give me any bit of help.

Welcome to modified and it's footblogs. Everytime you shred just put down what you hit or what you want to hit or whatever you want. It's your footblog, it's up to you.

Have fun with it! :D

See you Saturday!

P.S. I'm sorry I was stupid and forgot the tapes. :oops:

lets see if we can get them before that, eh guys? You two don't live too far apart, just have a session, and watch a minute of the vids and stuff, it'll be cool.

Welcome to the blog world Steve :D It's a pleasure to have you aboard.

Peace,

Awesome little session with Ben today. I worked on this drill that he challenged me with and hit it a couple times. It was clipper>clip-mirage>legover>repeat (I don't know if I wrote that right, but you get the picture). So I worked on my clippers most of the time and butterflys. So yeah, good stuff

BAH!! Here I was about to say how cool it was that I just mention something and it happens, but you too shredding and not passing the tapes is simply silly. You two better not go leaving me out of all the sessions! I wanna SHRED damn it :x :!: I love time with Kalie so much, but it's only hack; I need some friggin mobiuses and merlins!
:x :x

:wink:

Anyway, I really think its great you guys got together without me having to plan it; soon there will be little sessions going on all over town all week. Peace,

Bum

It's all apart of our elaborate scheme...We just make up excuses everytime we want to shred so you don't find out what our plan is. You actually think we are that forgetful that we would forget the tapes? It was done on purpose so we could have another session. :wink:

Oh, don't worry we won't leave you out...



You can came play with us once we are both better than you...mwahahahahahaha...*cough*...*cough* :D

So I have it figured out. Ben has inspired me. This saturday will be a flipside ONLY session! I will only kick, toe stall, and when needed, set with my strong side. I hope to get all the basic dex's down on the flipside without even thinking, which I can almost do anyway...but still, it couldn't hurt. Also, you can't work enough with that flipside clipper and butterfly.

Doing flipside inside kicks will really help your flipside clipper and overall flipside balance.

Now it isn't an easy task to just use your flipside so be prepared for some tough stuff, but don't give up you will get it!

Well the flipside-only session wasn't exactly that, but I still did the flipside more that I usually would. I'm really not trying to nail a lot of new moves just to master all the basic dexes and clippers and such. But anywhoo, I think I am almost there.
