Alright! I hit pixie like 50 times today. Illusion is suprisingly getting easier. I hit mirage quite less than I hoped

. I almost did doable legover, I just didn't stall my footbag; kicked it. I tried that a lot again but find myself still kicking it..Any tips? Hit pickups with my flipside a lot more.

I laced my lavers a new made-up way since I was bored. Now it is way tighter and easier to dex with, I'd post it but I doubt anyone would be interested..Might not make a difference. I have size 14 shoes so they aren't as tight until I laced 'em my way(me, size 13). Keep shreddin'!!

Hey Dominik,

So, you're into the lavers now? glad you got them? what's your impression after a few weeks?

ahhh, they are the best shoes ever! They are so light, they stall with ease.. They come in different colors

I tried my old shoes that I used to play with, I can't even stall with them!

I couldn't do atw or pickup or anything! they are heavy! I'm really glad I spent $56 on them! Totally worth it! I'd recommend them to any new players...Get 'em! You won't regret it! If you really are into footbag.. I didn't like them a little at first 'cuz all I could do is stall and do jester..but now I'm down to a few tricks left on the 2add list to master! Oh yeah!!!

If you don't have it, then buy it! If you already have it, buy it again! Now I'm lookng to get a 32-panel. A lot of people I know say don't get it until I master 2 adds and play longer.. I'll just stick to that with my Mr. Sandbags.. But..yeah..

November...uh...17th? Well, not much of an improvement today (20 minutes would, I doubt help me). I almost hit Guay a few times, it's just that I never stall it!!!

I kick it.. I'm getting better at Illusion..and all the rest. Now, I lost it with clippers. When I try to do it, I end up kicking it! I can't stall it any more, it barely goes up a few feet.. I have no idea what happened

At this point, I really love footbag. Before I totally sucked, now I love it! At school I'm getting crowds

I gave my sandmaster to my friend who is starting, he is really happy and is practicing like crazy, he has all stalls and kicks down (well not really, but he can do them sometimes..). My other friend can now to atw with both legs (his shoes are bad though..he wants lavers). We wanna go to a mall to get public attention and get people interested to play in Hawaii. If we can get crowds at our school, we can get crowds at our malls.. I have 5 tricks left on the 2 adds that I didn't hit yet (out of 26). Almost time for 3 Adds! Just maybe a month? Hopefully! Woohooo! Keep shreddin'!!

nice to see ur progressing and found some kids at skool that are getting into freestlye!

, btw...wat 5 tricks have u not learned out of the '26' 2 add tricks?..also is there any way u cud name or find a link somewhere showing all these 2 add tricks cuz i had no idea there were so many 2 adds to choose from, fricken A'!

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 18 Nov 2005 08:06

The ones I haven't hit yet are: guay (I kinda hit it but didn't stall it...so I'm not counting it as hitting it..), heel delay, sole delay, hopover, rake... The rest on the list I already hit before. And I'm just looking at the list on Hackrifice.com..

http://hackrifice.com/minisooper/?N=D

There are a lot more 2 adds I've never even heard of..

My friend just said he's gonna order lavers next week!

He's pretty good, still trying to master atw. Once he gets lavers he's gonna progress fast..

I hit pixie some more, almost hit it with my flipside. Illusion is becoming very easy and fun. I still lost it with my clippers

I have no idea what went wrong..

I'm on my 8th panel on my 32 panel footbag. I'm going slowly so I don't mess up. I don't have dental floss or any other strong string so I'm using weak regular sewing strings.. Gonna shred if I can...once it stops raining!!

Next move to master or hit: Guay!!!!

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 20 Nov 2005 11:14

I hit fairy yesterday! I hit it before but I mean i hit it perfectly and easily

Today I also hit atomic! It's pretty easy. It never really stops raining here (the longest was like 40 days and nights). I can't shred in the house.. I can't shred outside..I can't shred at all!!!

I got to for like 5 minutes..but then it rains again. I made my second 32 panel. It's pretty good but I need to find a better filling, I use mochi rice..I can't find bbs and all that.. I'm making my next, using the soccer pattern. I think I might order ultra suede soon.. Sewing is so fun!

I want to make every footbag that I possibly can in my time when I can't play. When it rains, I sew, when its sunny I shred. I'll post my pictures of my latest 32 panel footbag just for the heck of it..

stiching is cool to get into. it's the price of ultrasuede that scares me away. So I've been useing faux suede, but it's no good for 32 panels. What material have you been using?

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 20 Nov 2005 12:27

Just old shirts and pants. I found a old pair of pants and the material was awesome.. At least in my opinion.. I still have some left. I just looked at the ultrasuede price

I guess I won't get it..I'll just try to get better with other materials. Are there any other types of materials that are cheaper and almost as good? I'm a newb to sewing so I haven't tried everything..

Xain · Post by **Xain** » 20 Nov 2005 16:05

is there a wall mart near you? If there is, just go there and look for somethign that doesn't fray easily, and resembles suede. it's what I did. it's maybe 3$ a yard

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 21 Nov 2005 08:10

Actually, I went there yesterday (and yes there is like a billion walmarts here along with mcdonalds

). I went to the fabric section and only got to look for a few minutes, most of the fabrics are just designs, they aren't very different. I'm gonna go again sometime later. Thanks

Ahhh, today was awesome! I shredded a lot. I hit reverse mirage a lot. I made a new footbag friend, he lives just like 3 houses down

I just finished playing with him. I brought my footbag I made to school and like 10 people wanted me to make one. It's not that great so I won't charge them..and make one for each. I'am getting better at stitching

I'm eager to learn new tricks and can't think at school...all i can say is... FOOTBAG ROCKS!

It's the best thing in the freaking world! Yesssssss......sss....ss...!!! I'm also getting better at pincher..yeah...not that great..oh and cloud delay..yeah..cya...!!!

ahhhh...i won't go to school for a few hours 'cuz I have to go to a docter.. Yesterday I finally realized something.. I've been kicking toe kicks wrong! I watched a video and I can't believe I never noticed it.

I used to kick like bring my leg up. Now I kinda flick..it wasn't hard to master, just took a few minutes.. I'm getting a lot better at illusion and pinch. I like to do: Illusion>clipper>Pinch and then whatever else.. I need music to listen to when I shred! When I do, I go crazy and hit my best moves. When I don't I just slowly do one move.. I'm thinking of getting an Ipod..just a shuffle..I don't care for a screen or anything.. I just need to listen to music!?! It's expensive so I'll have to wait. My next 32-panel is turning out niiicceee... No school for me tomorrow through monday! I'm gonna shred non-stop baby woot!

Gotta go to the docter...peace..

I just finished my latest footbag last night! I didn't fill it though..but the stitching is done.. It's too good for me to waste with bad filling so I'm looking for what types.. I didn't get to shred yesterday, but no worries, I have like 5 days to shred! Oh and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I'm working on my next footbags..a 12 panel..then 14 then back to 32.. Just making some gifts for my friends who like my bad footbags

They're alright but I wouldn't like them... I'll post pics later today..I want to film myself so bad!! Dang it!
