The Slowsis Saga

In honor of my 300th post i decided to start up a footblog! I used to have one...but it sucked. Since this fall started, i've been shredding everyday, something i haven't done since last winter. I don't know what did it.....i just got motivated to up my game!

Oooohhh first posts in blogs are so exciting( to me)!!!!!

You might have noticed that i'm not to concerned with what I hit, i just play because its the best game on earth! I hit what feels right and what is the most fun......adds.....whatever.

Oh yeah.....it's supposed to be about footbag.....i'll warn you all now that there will be quite a bit of non-footbag related stuff in here, but thats the way it goes.

Stuff i was hitting today......
12 contacts of Pdx Dragonfly>op butter>rpt
Some decent guiltless.....man my game is rusty, its been to long

Dimwalk>blur bsos but with bops inbetween
Ducking pdx dragonfly>Ducking Pdx Dragonfly
Working on my spins.....flipside is there but the pitch is not close enough to my body to do anything awsome.

Aaaaarrrrg i just relized i haven't gotten any better all summer. I guess i'll change THAT!!!!

In non-footbag related news.......KEGGER 2-NITE!!!
Thank god i'm in one of the easiest programs at my university(political science) and for some reason i am able to party, shred, and still have time to get my work done.

Sweet weekend that was.

Actually managed to squeeze a saturday session in and played for a bit today. I am stuck solo sessioning these days because the other shredder at my school is super busy with work and classes.

Whatever....solo shred it is!

Spinning clipper>ducking clipper bs (almost bsos)
13 contact guiltless with ripwalk>pdx dragonfly bsos
smear>plo>rpt

I am not a big fan of my toe shuffle so this made my day!!
Hit a next 5 add flyer.....Stepping Ducking pdx Dragonfly

Does anyone know what the hardest flyer ever hit is? High add or High difficulty.

Other than that there was just some general skooling of my whirls....
My goodside whirl has been killing my knee...so its forcing me to work my flipside more.

I'm so suppoesed to be writing an essay

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 25 Oct 2005 08:37

haha i know the feeling...i always like to chose footbag over homework. Stepping ducking pdx dragonfly is huge man! i love high difficulty flyers like that

Sooooo rainy here.....i haven't been able to shred outside in a week and a half!!!

Didn't get to shred today but i was circle kicking with some randoms with a sandbag and hit some crazy stuff(that i've hit before) but never in skate shoes and jeans!
27 Infinities

Flip Stepping op Eclipse

Blizzardfly(blizzard inside kick)bs

All in jeans!!

Hey i would have hit better stuff in my lavers and shorts....but i ran into these kickers on my way home from class.
We kick in the central hall of my university. It has the coolest accoustics.

I think i might try to convert them, they all go to my school. Heh heh make myself a shred posse!

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 26 Oct 2005 13:48

Yesssssssss!!!!

I just reliezed that there are other shredders in my vicinity!!!!!
Ryan Seath lives just 20 min bus ride away....and Dan Cyr is just out in the suburbs!!!

BooYah!!! Less solo shred!!!

Speaking of shred i didn't get to shred at all yesterday..a brutal combination of essays for school and rainy weather.

Whatever....on friday i'll go out to Humber Colledge and shred with Ryan....with possibility of filming! I haven't got to film anything new in months.

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 01 Nov 2005 17:39

Delegated to the 2nd page.......Damn!

Had a pretty good pre-party shred on Halloween. Lots of new links and runs.....and almost some new tricks.

Runs:

Ripwalk, Stepping ss clipper and blur all BSOS in one run!!

I think my stepping is finally getting to be properly two-sided...still can't duck it on the flip though.

Flying Super BAP

Yeah....Butterflyer>Pdx Dragonfly>Butterflyer>Pdx Dragonfly

Beat the same side Dragonfly record with 13 Dragonflies! I'm going to go post that in lons record list....but i'm sure that someone can easily beat me! *challenge*

Links:
Matador>Blurry Whirl!!!!!
Pheonix>Matador

After this session i don't know if i'm going to risk hitting nuclear set to often. Skooling it has started to give me problems with my hip, probably because i yank my knee across so hard.

ALMOSTS:
Tomahawk....sooooooo close! Equally close bs.
Its been three months since i hit a flip blurry whirl.....almost again today. I guess it was a major fluke i hit it so long ago.

I was also over at Ryan Seath's colledge a couple of days ago, shreddin it up residence style! Tons of fun but i was kinda hung-over and didn't hit anything new....

. Its all good though, because it's the first time i've shredded with someone new in months.

I have a serious problem here at my university residence......arrrrggg stressing over retarded stuff

. I'm going to set up a poll in the kicking circle or discussion, just to get some feedback on this crap.

Now off to the bar....Yaaaay!

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 05 Nov 2005 12:26

Yay!!!! Footbag is treating me well!!

Now that i have started daily shred sessions again, everything is better. I wake up more refreshed, i feel healthier, and i even got myself a girl!! Something about footbag makes me glow........

mmmmmmm fooootbaaaaaag......

Yesterdays shred...
Drfiters aplenty!!! This was entertaining because of out of everything i do....drifters are my weakest component.
Drifter x 3!!!
Wow...my drifters really suck...but they are improving by the day!!

Ripwalk>pdx drifter bs....i guess i have to go for Bsos or B2B today...hmmmm

Ducking clipper>sidewalk>rpt
Almost ducking butterfly>sidewalk>rpt but i was having trouble stepping out of the last butterfly.

I think my atomics are getting worse

!!!

How this happened i do not know....but as my general game is improving, my atomics are going nowhere. I wish i knew why, because it isn't like i don't skool them....they just refuse to get better.

No one in my area want to shred!!! BOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Solo shred it is....
In other news...my fucking cellphone decided to break on me ( i wasn't even shredding the thing) and i had to bail out $100 to get a new one. Whatever...gotta do what i gotta do..and thats go shred!!

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 12 Nov 2005 13:54

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 14 Nov 2005 18:19

Man, I want to shred with you again soon, it's been too long!

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 14 Nov 2005 18:43

Are you coming into Toronto for Christmas?

There will be tons of good shred to be had. Most of this cities shredders are university student.....and therefore are to broke and busy to leave the city to shred. Once X-mas comes around there will be sooooo much shred!!! FOOTBAG!!!

BTW heres an update on the Toronto scene in general.....as i am the only consistent poster who lives here.

Right now there are seven shredders who still play regularily. Camille, Andrew W., Graham...no one even KNOWS about this guy, Billy, Ryan Seath goes to College in the burbs, and Dan Cyr(Skippy) who also lives and goes to college in the burbs. Oh, and myself of course

This is not to mention the group on novice players who play with me at my school......give some of these guys a few months and they will be SHREDDING!!! My buddy Josh just ordered lavers and hit infinity X 4 today in his skate shoes. I can't wait to see how good this guy will get.

I forgot something from today's session...or maybe i was just leavin' y'all in suspense!

TOMAHAWK!!!!

(inspired by my friend Grahams hitting of it on friday)

Edit: Tom, if we get to shred you have to help me with barfly......yours look so nice and I WANT THEM!!!!!

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 16 Nov 2005 10:07

Kicked today with some randoms at my school......WOW was i impressed by this one girl. She was nailing toe and inside stall on both sides and did a b2b flying clipper!! Shes only been playing for two months!!!

Skippy! · Post by **Skippy!** » 16 Nov 2005 11:59

Dude! Effing....CHRISTMAS. Big shred big shred. I'm hoping I get my driver's license (next week wednesday). I'll be able to come down like, as many times as humanly possible over christmas break. Oh man. Oh man.

YEAH FOOTBAG

PS. Word up on the Super Bap thing. I don't know if I've seen it.

Slowsis · Post by **Slowsis** » 16 Nov 2005 15:22

Ok...went downtown to shred with my buddy.....NEW STUFF!!

Allright, we got to the mall in which we were going to shred, busted our gear out and went for it. After about five minutes, some security guard come walking up and tells us to leave

.....so we get all our stuff together and start to leave, when i turn around and say "I'll be back soon" in a particularily mocking tone. I continue walking...get about five feet and this dickhead security tool grabs my backpack and starts walking away!!!!!

At this point i'm freaking out....the guard is like "If you want your pack back you have to come to the security office so we can ban you!!"

So i comply and now i am officially banned from entering the premisis of the Yonge Eglinton Center.....

Then we went to shred!

(in the subway this time)
New today....
7 Double Dex

beat my old record by 2!!!
Footed Flip Matador
Smear>plo>smear>plo>smear>bail>seal
Yay for even pixies!!!
FIRST BLENDER EVER!!! (I can't beleive it took me this long

)
ummmm.....not to much else....we were busking so i wasn't going for huge tricks.....more long runs with lots of guilts and osises. (for show of course)

Keep shreddin!
