11.12.05 special sesh at aptos cliffs

Post by funklovesfootbag »

played in aptos with jeremy amelia emily ted mike and dat. Really fun long session and then they went in the ocean afterwards.. while I sat on the beach nice and warm.

Hit Drifter for the first time today! i tried it in the circle and said i would hit it that day, jeremy said he didnt think i would and told me he'd buy my lunch if i hit it. Few things motivate me like free food.

Hit some clean pdx mirages bsos a lot of the same clipper stuff i've been practicing.

hit bubba for the first time both sides but not bsos

hit PLO a few times on my strongside, almost PLO>opp PLO but i was a bit too slow.

Hit DLO strongside

hit a few very clean ducking mirages, but no flipside (weak!) and a ducking clipper but still very inconsistent on those.

nothing else new, but a lot of stuff i was happy with. It was a lot of fun to see Ted and Mike bust, since I hadn't played with them before.

when I downloaded the santa cruz vid my antivirus gave me the warning that realplayer was trying to do a keylog and track my mouse movements. Maybe you need a new vid host or something( and if you downloaded it without a good antivirus beware)

You're impossibly good! Take for example, pdx mirge>pdx mirage, which is an impossibility because a pdx move can only be set from a clipper. I bet you were close to it though ;) Props on solo sessioning. Its good for the cardio.

11.15.05 solo sesh

Post by funklovesfootbag »

played with myself for about an hour. i like playing with myself now. I just work past the fatigue and sweat and keep going.

almost hit ducking clipper>clipper

came very close to hitting my goal of hitting pdx mirage pdx pickup bsos from clipper.. but failed. i blame it on my shorts (my regular shorts are too foul to be worn since i forgot to wash them this week... it's probably a health hazard to be in my room.)

messed around for maybe 5 minutes setting the bag at different heights and hitting clippers

feeling better about my clippers every day. practiced the usual.

hit PS mirage, no plo no dlo tooooo tired and slow. some symp pixies and symp mirages from clipper but i tend not to hop enough for those or mess up on the set

footbag is fucking fun. :D

I think most boys share this view. However an hour is a long time and cannot be good later on in life

With dlo plant setting foot as quickly as you can.

Too much solo footbag makes you go blind.

11.16.05 aptos shred garage session

Post by funklovesfootbag »

shred garage session with jeremy and emily. played for like 3 hours i think. soooooooooooo much fun.

hit flip PLO>opp PLO

hit ducking symp mirage

DLO ... NO. NO I DIDnt HIT DLO but i tried it a lot. getting the motion better.

hit some ducking mirages, and ducking pickups, ducking toe to clipper

hit one long run of toe tricks with a few clippers thrown in

hit all the same clipper tricks i've been trying, and some clipper>symp mirages I think BSOS

put effort into trying clipper>spinning clipper but didnt hit it. got around in time cleanly once but didnt catch it; still needs a lot of practice.

got some cool stuff on camera...


and played doubles for the first time with Emily, it was awesome. So much fun. and then jeremy joined in.. trio of footbagging power.

too much footbag? no such thing.

11.19.05 solo sesh

Post by funklovesfootbag »

another solo session. much more tired and lazy than yesterday. Was pretty inconsistent on my clipper tricks but i hit a few cross body rakes for the first time. flipside as well. also hit fairy on my strongside for the first time.

other than that, nothing special. fun but sick of solo sessioning hopefully someone will want to freestyle at frederick street tomorrow..
