net is fun

Post by Shred a Dex »

Just got done shreddin with chad n dave, chris flaked out, n dave brought his friend brett fully equipt with lavers. stoked on the new player, we need all we can get down here in SoCal. i was schooling my clippers trying to hop into them alot more, its getting cleaner, i just need to get the timing down, n those sets consistent. chad was trying to hit clippers stepping with 4 bags and whirls, it looks pretty sick with all the bags grouped together. he attempted 6 but always droped like one or two, maybe next time.

got my net today from world footbag, cant wait to set it up in my back yard n school me some net for the next time i go up to santa cruz. better practice net too fletcher, where gonna battle when u get come home.

aight im out, music theory midterm in the AM.

Clippy

Post by Shred a Dex »

I just got done with session with dave, we schooled clippers mostly the entire time but i have a question, when hitting clippers do u want the delaying leg to be close to the support leg (so your lower leg is under the support leg) or do u want ur foot a little farth out (so your upper section of the lower leg is under the support leg)? it seems to work a little better farth out is this how i should be hitting it?

anyways we skooled clippers till our legs could hardly hold us up, i feel we have made progress, on the ones that i hit my set is going about little below chest high, but tend to move out away from my hip, so i needa get em goin straight up and down. im catching (while not tired) little less than half of them.

Time to play with my other love, me guitar. lataz.

clippers

Post by Shred a Dex »

tonites session started out with dave n brett n chris, but chris lost faith and decided to go play battlefeild 2, but the rest of us dedicated footbaggers stayed and worked our normal sets.

I hit clipper>legover for the first time, then again at the end of the session!
And i hit clipper BSOS!

i was stoked on those two things :D

clippers on my strong side feel waaaaaayyy more natural now, finaly finding my groove, SCORE :!:

butterflys?

Post by Shred a Dex »

tonites session with chris was great, he made progress on his mirage and pixie, and his toe to toe is getting to be alot smoother with the cradeling.

As for me, when i wasn't teaching chris, i drilled my clippers some more and i hit about 10 clipper>legovers strong side and about 5 flip clippers and i almost hit a few butterflys!

but my highlights of the night were:

clipper>legover>clipper>legover
and
clipper>legover>flipclipper

Maybe there really is a footbag god?

had a good session for about an hour with dave.

i started off with clippers then went into butterflys, and at first i was setting from the far foot and it was really hard to get my leg over, after i realized i was doing stepping butterflys on accident, and started seting with the near toe and wasnt steping anymore and it was waaaaayyy easier!!! i almost hit it soooo many times, but i was tiring myself out too much.

so tommorow butterfly. ITS GONNA HAPPEN.
