I've got my stitching back in order. Fiished up Zeke's order, just about to finish Josh Rose's. After that I have three bags to make and I will no longer be back ordered!!


My Ilja bag still hasn't come, and I'm depressed because I'm tired of playing with the bag(s) I have right now. I wanna play with bright new colored footbags.

I should start posting pictures of bags I make again.

Only update is drifterx9, which i think is an acceptable record. 20 is my goal for this summer.

Umm, I'm 14 now, and I didn't hit a 5>5>5. Darn!

I hit Fs blur>ss toe torque while talking to Mosher online yesterday. First try, too!

Gooooo Nathan!

Thats a super styley combo, your game is inspiring me to try lots of new stuff I wouldn't have thought of.

Happy Birthday too!

Way to be 14. You're ALOT more mature at 13/14 than I was for sure.

Thanks for the replies guys. and dave, you're on!! 9 fearless it is! :lol:

I should DEFINATELY be at funtastiks. After my dad turned me down going to CP, EC, the SPIKE and the jam in Philly, theres no way he's getting off this time. I will guilt trip him into taking me all three days!

Umm, I don't know what else to say, so bye.

Yesterday I went skating and I jumped a new gap! 6 stairs. I was in rollerblades so it was pretty easy, but my friend was on a skateboard, and tried it like 20 times. Near the end, he was getting really close. But then he tries it once more, and the board hits about halfway down the stairs, and he keeps going and lands right on his ankle! It is at least sprained, but probably not broken.

Err, i also have my sick 15 all planned out, and I can hit most of it, but I have trouble linking all of it together. I think it's pretty good, even if the ending is sorta lame, at least it's all unique. I'm going over to a friends house soon to film. He plans on making another video for me too, and we might try to film a Sick 3 and Sick 1 also.

I'm looking for Climacools now. I can probably find some 3's that are in my size, but Brad Nelson didn't seem to like them that much, so I'm hoping to find a pair of originals.

Update on my friend: his ankle is broken! Ughh. :cry:

Anyway, I went over to another friend's house, because he has a video camera. We went outside, i was warming up pretty well, and his camera won't turn on, so no filming went down today.

Not much progress on my Sick 15, but I realized that instead of setting the bag right back up during shuffle, it's better to wait a bit and hold the delay before going for the next set. That will help me out on the first 5 contacts, which are triples shuffle.

Footbag: Shaved my head, ducks feel funny, but I can play longer without sweating now, and my hair no longer gets in my eyes. I hit my sick 3, maybe I'l get it on cam. I also have an idea for a Sick 1, and its a six addddd!! No more progress on sick 15 :( .

Skating. Just found out my friends and I got kicked out of our favorite spot to skate. If a cop finds us skating there again, $300 fine. But it's all good, because I just spotted a ledge thats perfect to skate. It curves down on both ends, its about 2 feet tall and 10 feet long. Cool!

Wow, I have no clue why I wrote that I shaved my head. I still have at least an inch of hair left, and I didn't even cut it, someone else did.

Weird.

Climacool's are all the rage now!!

Check 'em out:

Okay, So they aren't CC Originals, and they aren't CC 3's, but they still have flat clippers and a big open toe box, so I consider them good for footbag. I had to take a little tab of the front where the laces began, you can probably see the glue marks where they used to be. Taking them off makes the toe area about 33% larger. Needless to say my toe moves are rolling off a bit more than normal, but playing in these shoes feels great for my feet.

All in all a good pair of shred kicks!

Hey Nate,
You can lace em up differently if you want to make a giant toe box, check it out:

Hey Tom, your shoes look crazy, did they come green??

I think I might try the toe box lacing thing, maybe it will flatten out the clippers, eh?

I played footbag today, and all I have to report to the blog headquarters is park>rip>blur>leg. My atomic and stepping shuffle is feeling way more confident and stuff. I can't wait for Funtastiks!! I wanna play with Dave Clavens soo bad, I bet his game is amazing now! I have some new stuff to show people too.

I just got an Ipod shuffle. Its so small!! I put all my 100 favorite songs on it, so even though I have no clue what will play when, I won't mind because I like all the songs. Hmm maybe I'll post my playlist. K, just a sec.. never mind it didn't work.

So I played footbag for maybe three hours today. I was having lots of fun and was just shredding, not drilling or anything. So after I finished up my session, I realize that my Osgood Schlatters is killing me! I didn't even notice until I finished playing, and now I can barely walk. This sucks. I can imagine going to Funtastiks and playing hard the first day, and not being able to play at all the next. I do't know if I could manage to stop myself from playing too much the first day with lots of cool shredders surrounding me. I guess I'll have to though.

Right now I'm listening to Such Great Heights by the Postal Service. Good song by a crappy band.
