7-8:30 Session with Mike, Josh, and Megan today.

Josh hit some cool stuff as always. Tried Montage, but no success yet. Mike hit some nice legovers and butterflies, He also went for infinity and came pretty close. Also practiced fairies.

Today I hit farlegover BSOS (very nice string) and I came SO CLOSE again to Pixie Legover BSOS. Drilled Pdx. mirage and a bit of butterflies today. Tried DLO (needs TONS of work). My legs are SO SORE though...but it was a good session

I wore my CHinese hat too...I looked PIMP!

Peace!

I had an AWESOME KICK ASS session today.

Attendees: Rob, Justin (Rob's brother), Mike, and Bob Stumpf (A NEW PLAYER).

Rob was hittin' some sick runs like hop over mid run, symp mirage, and some other sick strings. Justin is doin' good on kicks. Mike is drillin' and our new member BOB has like this natural aura of a footbagger around him. He has his stalls and atw (flipside needs work). He's very controlled. He's gonna be an awesome player someday.

I was hittin' some cool strings as well. Clippers were SO there today. Hit farlegover again BSOS. It was just an awesome day.

I'm really lookin' forward to kickin' with this Bob guy. He seems so interested and so laid-back. He's a real nice kid. He'll definitely show up again in this blog more often.

Anyways...all you beautiful people, later

Session w/ Dan and Mike.

Enjoyable and laid back. Dan is gettin' more fluent with stalls and Mike is drillin' (almost hit ducking clipper).

I came SO FRIDGOCKIN' close to ducking mirage. I footed it like three times. ARGH

Oh well. Drilled pdx. mirage and bubba hard core. Played alot of "effortless" which was relaxing.

Bob should be comin' down tomorrow.

Now onto studying for English!

7-8 session with Bob.

Just basically relaxed and played. Explained more to Bob and touched up on some tricks and what footbag is. Nothin' too much.

It was a nice night though.

uh...enough said *shrugs*

"4-MILE-WALK-SESSION-THEN-SESSION" SESSION

I walked all the way from my house to my bud's, Rob. It was like FOUR FREAKIN' MILES! And after the calming walk, kicked for about an hour.

Rob hit clipper kick pdx. mirage

hahaha the bastard. But, I beat him in Force two times, so that made me feel better.

Hit some nice runs. drilled bubba (footed it), and pdx. mirage (still needs work). Also hit some butterflies, drilled them, and messed around with xbd rakes.

MAN my legs hurt, shin splints are killin' me!

But the session was so worth it!

oh man you will get pdx mirage dont worry , keep up the good work

Yeah, it's kinda funny. Eventually, you'll be able to look back on certain tricks and remember your exact mindset regarding the insane difficulty of that trick. And you will now have it both sides. I mean have it have it.

Seriously. When I saw the video for Flail on Flipsider 3 years ago, I thought, "No way. This video is doctored, that shit's not possible."

Two weeks ago, in a shred with Erik Chan, I hit Flail > ss Flail > Flail > ss Flail > Flail > ss Flail > Flail > ss Flail > Flail > ss Flail

7-8:30 session

Atendees: Bob and Mike

Bob has improved since we last kicked. His alt. toe stalls are much more fluid and not so much jerky. His inside stalls were also doing very well today. He hit legover for the first time in like 5 tries! He's definitely a natural. But, he's got that "beginner" stage, where he wants to hit all the things I'm hitting, but he still drills his basics which is very good!

Mike did pretty good today. Drilled illusions and such. Hit probably some butterflies here n' there.

I did pretty good, my string length's are good. I'm using more clipper 2's in my strings. Drilled pdx. mirage and bubba again today. Worked with Butterfly a bit too; these seem to be getting more natural and not so much "kerplunk" ish.

Anyways my legs are killin' me and there is some studying to do tonight

Shin splints are a bitch. i used to get them alot when i was in my first 6-8 months of playing. after awhile your legs will strengthen though. i haven't had shin splints in atleast 6 months or so. Keep shredding through those pains and they'll go away! remeber to stretch alot too! that really does help

JFootbagger · Post by **JFootbagger** » 15 Sep 2005 17:33

Thanks man. I just remembered something funny Bob said

Mike: Can you do fridgid osis?
Bob: Nah dude, it's not cold enough yet.
Me: *busts out laughin'*

It was pretty fun

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 15 Sep 2005 17:43

hahahahahaha. thats the best footbag joke i've ever heard!

JFootbagger · Post by **JFootbagger** » 17 Sep 2005 12:53

Awesome solo session!

First of all my strings were all very long. 10-15+ contacts. I drilled hardcore today. Hit PDX MIRAGE STRONG SIDE!!!!

HA! In your face ROB! Came close on flip. Hit Bubba BOTH SIDES today also!!!

Drilling and skooling are two GREAT things when it comes to footbag

In the immortal words of Mike Anello, "Never Give Up!"

PEACE!

On a side note: going to see Excorsism of Emily Rose tonight

Congrats on Pdx Mirage. I can't make it down today, unfortunately. Hopefully Tuesday or something this week.

Haha Wong, I just air shredded bubba, so exciting!

JFootbagger · Post by **JFootbagger** » 18 Sep 2005 17:13

Just had a session w/ Dan and Bob.

Ya know, I hate it when you invite people to a sesh, and then they cancel out on you. But even worse, those who kinda leave ya hangin' and bull shit around and don't tell you

Anyways the session with me, Dan, and Bob was quite enjoyable. Each time I kick with Bob, he keeps improving. He was able to do alot of alternating inside stalls. Dan is progressing as well.

Today I drilled bubba (toed it on bothsides) and pdx. mirage. Practiced some butterflies too which are coming along.

Nothing spetactular today, just a good session that got me sweatin'.

OH, had some family who was on a walk who stopped to check out me shreddin'. The one guy was like, "Wow, that must be really hard" and I just simply replied" nah, it just takes practice."

Edit: I forgot to mention that the three of us did some 3-square (since we don't have 4 people). It was pretty fun, real laid back.

Woot! Publicity!
