Clippers(Not flipside)
Far leg over(Not flipside)

Ya, you are like a Vasek of toes. You have insane control for how long you have been playing. If you just get your clippers, legovers, and flipside down, you will soon become a shred master.

Welcome to modified! You will find it a great place with a lot of information, and a lot of people are willing to go out of their way to help you and make you feel at home. It's great to be able to go all across the world and have people know who you are just because you play footbag and you post on modified.

Feel free to post a thread introducing yourself in the "Getting Started" section! A lot of people like to say "Hi" that way. Once again, welcome!

Hey guys..Today i had a little session by myself...did the usuall...But something new as came up...I wasnt looking on doing it but it kinda happened....Well i was working on my left side clippers..and i went to hit another one and as i was doing it my foot was doing one thing and my brain was doing a different..I hit a pdx mirage..then did a ATW...i know sounds crazy..But the sad thing was....That i didnt land it...(Ben do you remember when we played at steve's and i kicked myself...well guess what messed me up...YES EVERYONE I KICKED MYSELF>..)
I felt like crying because it wasnt like i kicked myself and land it was like i kicked myself then fell hard on the ground..But before i did that i land a pdx mirage...I was alittle happy with it .....But i need clipper work

Great job on Monday, it was great to have you with us at the concert rather than just running into you. By next extreme thing you'll be a star attraction for sure.

Sorry I missed you initial posts, but I'll be around to assist again from now on. Keep up the blogging!

Peace,
Bum

toes are a one add, clips are a two add. Of course the toes are easier at first...but don't let that influence your practice or style development.

Mega props on 5 nuggets...now work the flip so you can do 5 infinities (PLEASE)...you are totally capable.

Peace, and see ya Saturday at the college,
