Dude you need to add butterfly's first before trying any of those. Also an uptime mirage is called a quantum set and a pixie is uptime all the time, a "downtime pixie" is actually just a mirage.

you may be doing them at peak time, or "no time" ...the 0 gravity point...which is fine. But I don't think your doing quantums...and you've been doing peak time pixies too, he meant doing them as sets...

butterfly, paradox mirage, and osis being your bail tricks needs to come first. You need to have a lot of strong bails before you can get further...

i played from about 1 to 3 today, and i was real annoyed. I still cant do a fkin pixie, and when i do, i cant set it on my op foot because the dex foot isnt planting fast enough. Also my flipside clippers are horrible.

Ohh well, that gives me something to work on. Other than that, ive just been drilling my basics and getting more and more consistant with them.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

atw both ways
pixie
fairy
mirage
illusion
pickup
legover

clip set pickup
*far pickup*

Do all of those 10 time in a row without dropping, hit every one to every other one, and than you'll be able to put them all in one run.

Peace,
Bum

Well, i had about a 2 hour session by myself today, and then schooled my sister a bit.

Today i hit smear 2 times
Then i just drilled basics.

My sister kicked it 4 times today, and not with just 1 foot, but juggled in between her left inside and right inside. Shes actually really interested in footbag. Hope she sticks with it.

Jeff IS moving remarkably fast with marked determination. I believe you are right :-)

Keep everything up, and count your contacts every time. Unless your working a specific move/combo, you should be getting at least 6 contacts in for every run, BEFORE hitting smear or symp mirage or osis.

Bum

today i met ben and steve at steves to shred. What was supposed to be a shred session soon turned to eating otter pops and discussing the bible. All in all it was very interesting.
Im getting the movement down for fairies.. cant wait till i can hit fear.

some footbaggers just won't understand...you'd get similar reactions from Mike and Brian, if not worse.

Jeff did really good at Red White and Boom, P-ROPS! And nice work with those pickups.

While you work that cool 5 trick string, why don't you sit down and write a 20 trick string to work on too. Hit all your easy stuff in it. If you get it down, it'll be a great warm up combo later, and you'll have it already ready already for your first shot at a routine.

Oh, and thanks for the ride. I still owe you that two bucks...

Peace,
Bum
