Uhoh erics getting are moves down, oh well... Session yesterday, pretty good, I tried to keep everything nice and smooth, my left spins are finally starting to come together. Some how I smashed my big toe nail back while doing a toe blurr. odd. Umm... yeah open mic tonight at one of the dorms, instead of a normal session up at the gyms we're going to try and hit that up do a little promoting.

You're very good at randomly injuring yourself footbagging Reid (i.e. reid falling bag boyz segment). That sounds pretty cool promoting footbag through open mic. Let us know how that goes. Next spring I'll be demonstrating footbag in the Student Dance Showcase! I should be upstaging the cheerleaders, breakdancers, and bellydancers.

Anyways I've been kicking every day now again and I hope to keep it up, although this weekend is my birthday which means massive partying which could interfere with footbag.

peace out amigos

Kicked last night with one of my new Mr. Sandbags. Hit "real" voodoo on both sides (I think; definitely on one side). Worked my flipside step set a little bit. Sort of frustrating. Hit food processor both sides, sealed with hand catches. Took many many attempts on my flipside to land it.

Flipside pixie is slowly becoming more natural. Slowly but surely.

There is a move that I really really want to hit. I went for it last night and didn't really come close at all. I want it though. If I hit it I will post what it is. Later

Didn't kick thur, and won't kick all weekend, through monday night, cuz my brother is visiting. I'll probably post again tuesday when i next shred. At least my legs will be well rested.

similar here had a swim meet this weekend. Ganaremos. Um yeha i should have a session tomorrow.

First session today as a 20 year old. Focused on long runs with lots of variety. No 5's. Drifter > barfly and Paradox flail > paradon some cool midrun combos. I hit magellan > smudge > eggbeater on my flipside which felt very good considering flipside eggbeater is damn hard. I got a new pair of lavers but I haven't worn them yet. The holes on the soles of my current pair are getting bigger so I'm duct taping the bottom of the insoles. I really don't need much support so it'll be fun to see just how much of the sole I can shred away. Probably not more than a few weeks until it becomes too much.

ah yes the birthday boy.....hmmmm.....

Past tweo days have been goodd sessions. been working on fairy swirling spinning torque. uh Yeah.... um also working my barrages. There becoming quite deep, and fast.

Alright just had first session in 5 days. I got winded really quick and everything was a bit off. No long strings mostly just foolin' around. Hit double spinning clipper, and came close to hitting it flipside which I was pretty excited about.

Kevin hasn't kicked in like a week either, so wasn't doing all that much. After I gave him a couple tips he came close to spinning clipper. Next session I'm sure he'll hit it.

K, I think I'm gonna start kicking regularly again. Should post tomorrow

Session cut short today because I had to clean shit up around the house. My goal is to get my endurance back in the next few days before thanksgiving break.

Lets see, I hit blurry whirl>blizzard a few times. Nothing else really worth mentioning. A bunch of stuff I wanted to try but didn't have time to. Tomorrow hopefully.

I had a monster session with Joe today. We went to the gym since it's snowing like crazy here. I really liked shredding on the gym floor. It's much better landing ps whirls and such on wood than concrete and I felt like I got more bounce on stepping sets. I was ON with every aspect of my game. Highlights:

Fairy drifter and Fairy ss drifter both sides

Smoke BSOS

A couple long intense shuffle runs with lots of pixie, fairy, stepping, and atomic

Tap > Atomsmasher both sides

Blur > Legbeater both sides

Blizzard > Flail BSOS

Flog (Fairy DLO) on my FIRST TRY

PS Whirl back to back

Flipside vortex first try (usually takes me about a dozen tries)

Flipside spinning whirl midrun

Damn I love footbag.

haha yeah... you boys seem to be doing slick like bitter butter.... Only a week left...

Had a session myself

It was pretty good, some decent runs... um schooled stepping set.... ummm yeah, we shall see, the world may never know how many licks to the center of a tootsie roll pop.

I'm comin' back friday evening, not sure when Reid's getting back exactly. Unfortunately Will is going to be in Oregon all week I believe. But anyways, I think this Sunday would be a good day to shred??

For once Kevin was the one to call me to kick today, but unfortunately I was already midsession. Anyways I feel like I sort of came out of my slump today. Hit a couple different styley sick 3's and went on a few runs of decent length.

sidewalk>blur>dimwalk>repeat to 9 contacts which I felt pretty good about.

also 14 ripwalks my first attempt. not a new record for me but still felt good.

comin' home tomorrow with Kevin. Lata FTB
