Solo session

I think I'm getting better. My coordination and control seems to increase everyday. Tricks are getting easier and more flowing for me.

skooled/drilled:
-clipper-strengthening drills
-clipper op. clipper (felt a lot more controlled today)
-strings and toe game
-pixie set and plo (pixie sets are becoming more
easier to "snap")
-pdx. mirage (the dexing part of pdx. mirage
feels more coordinated and not so much awkward)
-butterfly (figured out that the bag should fall near
your thigh, as it does clipper)

I've said before and I'll say it again, if you just keep playing, you're always bound to improve

Had footbag club today

it was kinda rough...'cause the floor is like...waxed, and my lavers (and milleniums) get NO traction what so ever, so I'm like slidin' all over the place...

we announced to the club that we're going to hold a competition after Christmas break...

The competition judging is on these two concepts:
-consistancy
-uniqueness

(we did only two categories 'cause every memember is just starting out)

There are 3 places, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and Rob and I have yet to figure out WHAT The prizes should be...

anyways today my shred was all right...sucked 'cause, again, I had no traction...I did hit plo into a strong in front of everyone...so that was cool...

but yeah that's what's goin' on in club

peace

Actually, I'ved lived in the US my whole entire life. I was born in Virginia (yeah, I know, a chinaman born in Virginia :P ). Both of my parents were born in Pittsburgh. It was my Grandparents that were born in China; this makes me 2nd generation ABC (American-Born Chinese).

Post by JFootbagger »

well...it's been 'bout a week since I last footbagged.... Holidays really kill you...

anyways these couple sessions are gettin' back into it kinda deal.

today:
-played effortless
-worked on clippers (clipper>op. clipper)
-tried a bit of tiltless (failed...my legs feel weak...need to
strengthen them again)

Time to get back into the swing of things

After me and Ian (my friend) walked to Giant Eagle, we stopped by a pavillion to enjoy our Fun-Yuns! (YUM!)

anyways I just kicked casually with a new bag and my new converse

Image

Which are really good, bit heavier, but I just used these to hack in and play effortless. Once broken in, they should be pretty good.

yeah...it was all right, laid-back, non-straining, and enjoyable. Was playing with a new bag though, so new bag + new shoes = hard to play.

I'll be shreddin' hard again soon!

gettin' back into it slowly.

I had to drill my mirages 'cause my body decided to be uncordinated and retarded all of a sudden. This was kinda discouraging.

My clippers though feel really crisp and fresh though, which I'm liking :D

Things'll get back up to speed...you'll see...

Again slowly gettin' up to speed on things...

drilled skooled:
-clipper strength
-clipper op. clipper
-pdx. mirage (oh man have I lost it)
-plo (so rusty)

messed around with:
-butterflies
-osis

found out for my flipside, since my set for consec. clippers isn't always straight up, to think of it setting it up and along my side...and keep it close so I don't have to chase after it...
