I've been thinkin of making one for awhile and Bander finally convinced me to do it. Would have been easier to start it earlier on but here it goes.
I started about a month ago. I first used an old White/Black (soccer ball) Sandmaster. Then I got my white/navy lavers. Then I got my two Mr. Sandbags Blue/Silver and Black/Black.

So far here is what I have hit (in learning order):

Toe stall

Toe stall flipside Same day with a Sandmaster (really old bag)

Then I got lavers and did toe box mod and that day I hit these two

Legover flipside (hurt my good leg practicing)

Legover

Got Mr. Sandbags sometime around here

Few days later I hit these (all one day). They still need some work.

Inside stall

Outside stall

Inside stall flipside

Outside stall flipside

EDIT II: After reading within the next few days about it I worked and landed this:

Walkover

Walkover flipside

Few days later I hit these (all one day)

Clipper flipside (sketchy)

Clipper (very sketchy)

Pickup

Pickup flipside (sketchy)

Few days after that

Pendulum (barefoot. I'm finding it hard with shoes)

EDIT: Oh and at some point recently:

Ducking toe stall

I'll continue with today in my next post.

Okay today after getting back from friends house and my dad's band practice (I work the monitor mixes) I signed on. Checked and posted a bit. I made a post about how my lavers are helping me develop an arch (flat-footed).

Bander87 took interest in my post so we chatted on AIM. We found a lot in common as shredders in training. I asked him what he had hit and he told me "just 2 add stuff, both sides for atw, clipers, and legover basically". I told him my hit trick list and he asked if I have been practicing ATW's. I said I have but have had trouble with the transition between set and dex.

I took my black bag and tried to hit ATW. Finally I got it!

in-out ATW

Then he said do I find out-in easier because usually it is. So I tried that. After some work:

out-in ATW

After some more talk:

out-in ATW flipside

He complimented me on my bothsidedness and I thanked him and explained that when I hit a trick I always drill until I hit it flipside in that sesh (minus Pendulum). After a lot more work:

in-out ATW Flipside

Then he told me a string he did: ATW Flipside>Legover>ATW. So I tried it and after a little while I got it. TONS OF PROGRESS TONIGHT w00t.

Special thanks to Bander87. If I didn't chat with him I wouldn't have hit any of that.

Hey thanks same to you.

Update: Forgot to mention. After using flipsider's tests I have determined my stance is Right Sideways

EDIT: !%@#^! I have to keep editing my first post because I keep forgeting to mention some stupid "barely counts as a trick" trick. Just check the first post for the first few days if you want to see and tricks I've hit before I started the blog. I think I finally got them all though after this edit (walkover).

Tonight I chatted with Bander, Josh B., and Hood. During this I managed to hit:

Pixie flipside

Illusion flipside

Pixie

Then I spent a long time trying to hit good side Illusion. Finally after everyone left the chat and signed off for the night:

Illusion

I then practiced it a little more till I hit it again. Then I tried to beat Bander's 3 out good side ATW record he told me about tonight. I couldn't do it and I am so tired (1:12 after hours of shredding) so I decided to update my blog and leave that record for tomorow's goal. ANOTHER SUCESSFUL NIGHT!!!

I also found out from Josh B. that a shredder named Alex S. lives near me. That makes two Nassau County shredders (one is a noob like me) I have found. Also Alex and Josh play net in addtion to freestyle so I am going to get a headstart on learning that. We are going to meet up next time Josh comes into town.

Haven't played in two days since my friend gave me a guest trial of World of Warcraft (good game). But just now I picked-up my bag and broke Bander's atw record in one try. My record is now 5 good side out ATW's. Almost hit the sixth.
