Hey! Thanks! I just filmed myself doing DATW. HEre is the vid.. Watch the whole thing to see slow motion at the end..

http://media.putfile.com/Double-Around-the-World

I hit and filmed datw 4 times but i don't think anyone will want to see me do it over and over again.

and I just watched the vid again and realized how stupid i look doing that gay pose

I'm editing my old footage to post a session in the video section..but maybe wont be done till tomorrow? Dunno.

Props on DATW! Some tips would be to keep your toes pointed down. This makes the dexing a lot tighter and a lot more style.

Props

DATW is one of most attractive trick for non-shred people

I'm waiting for your movie

P.S. I Remember that on holidays in 2004 I hit DATW and then some boy shouted:" WOW! You've done three dexes

"... Non-Shred kids are really funny

i'm waiting too..
Props on datw.

you should try to hit datw on other side and terrage

Thanks guys!

The video is gonna have to wait even longer

My brother has a LOT to work on (he's a webmaster and he has college work..). So I can only go on about 5-10 minutes a day for a while.. The only thing that you can know about the video is it is called "First shred with Mafoid" and I'll give you some info.. Its just me playing when I got Mafoid, my first 32-panel footbag (finally got a name for 'im

) Its actually not that great.. because I wasn't used to 32 panels.. I have some new footage but not too much..because its been raining (still is) so I can't film..just some sockshred.. the only new things I hit are..uh..lets see...stepping and datw..not really worth waiting for. But I'll work on it and post it when i can..i'm working on it now..but my computer is so slow

k, must use time wisely, thanks again everyone!

Ps: Whats Terrage? And I'm trying to hit datw on both sides, both directions.

Terrage is a DATW delayed on opposite leg

toe > same in > same in > op toe

Keep Kickin'

Ok, good and bag news..

well..mostly bad news. K, so i've been slowly working on my video..it was the finals this week so i had a lot of work. Plus my bro had a lot too so i could hardly go on my computer.. Every year we have a special ceremony called the Makahiki. I entered the games competition, one a few and lost a lot (spear-throwing, armwresting..just hawaiian games..). Then i raced over and over and then i sprained my ankle..really bad. This was a few days ago..it hurts like...like..not hitting a good move

!! So i haven't been able to play for the past few days, or edit... In the time, before, i was practicing swirl and almost getting it.. so i got about 20 minutes now..i'm working and am totally not satisfied with my video..so i delete pretty much of it..it sucked..so bad..so i'm gonna edit different things (i had about 15 minutes of foottage so..).. the video won't be posted for a while... Ok..just wanted to tell everyone..who cares..

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 30 Jan 2006 10:17

Hmmm..haven't written in a while

. K..so I'm not doing the video..the camera cut out pretty much everything and its too blurry, just looks like i'm faking it.

I'm currently working hard on trying to spread footbag over Hawaii. I have connections with a t.v station, i'll be making a 28 minute show..thats long so i'll have to add more than footbag.. The t.v stationa and show isn't too famous, but its a local one just for Hawaii, better than nothing. I'll be going to a market and presenting a tiny presentation of footbag, be shreddin', giving brochures, free footbags..stuff like that.

I've been sick the past week..totally sucks..no footbag.. well not really..i got to shred a little..heres some things I've been hitting:

whirls
swirls
zulu clipper
dragons (a LOT)
dragonfly (i really hate this move.. makes me look like a lunatic)

dang it..I forgot all the names!!!

well I hit more..cool new tricks too..! Well thats all..peace..

Ok, i've been in a bad mood lately. The reason is, on my 32-panel there are tears on almost every panel!!

I never toe scrape it, throw it, or abuse it in any way! I just got it like a month ago and it's pretty much torn so it pisses me off really badly.

I try shredding with it but I'm scared i might step on it and tear the whole freaking thing.. Its the material thats ripped..I just spent $35 on it and to me, thats a lot of money to me! (i can't earn any money here..itll take me like a year to get that much money again to get another bag..).. So I'm using my mr. sandbags which suck to me since im used to 32 panels now.. god! Im really mad! why did it tear?! I never abuse it..i've only stepped on it 3 times and that was the first few days that i had it! none of the filler came out but the tears get bigger..the filler will soon come out.. k, well i bet no one gives a crap about that..heres what i've been hitting..

dlo bs
pdx rake (did that so much, its fun..)
jeeze..i forgot every freaking name...

well, I've been training my left a lot, doing exercises and drills for it like:

mirage>pickup>atw OUT>pixie rpt till drops..
illusion>legover>atw IN>fairy rpt till drops.. I noticed a fast change on my string lengths..

I hope so much that i win the january online competition! If i get a new bag i'll be so happy! Plus that bag looks so awesome (wonder who it was made by...)..
I might sew the holes in my 32..or find special tape..i'll search now in the forums..but it still pisses me off bad..

oh yeah, i cut off part of the walls on my shoes (not any of the holes though). It worked really well for about 2 weeks, i loved it. But not i freaking hate it and its messing me up bad..why the hell is everything bad happening now?! this sucks!

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 07 Feb 2006 22:06

Hmm..gee i didn't know i was that mad... well i've been trying to get cheered up for the past few days...not working that much.. I got to play a little footbag and noticed how bad my left is getting the more i play.. so i decided to stop writing here because i waste too much time, i always check my email to see if anyone replies but i never get any, no point in that too.. so im gonna stop writing and just really focus on my left for a while, clipper is getting better but still needs work.. maybe if i get better i can make a video without saying what i've done..another reason why im gonna stop is i say i've been working on swirls or something, then i stop, and can't do it anymore..my problem is i never work on the trick till i know it, i just do it till i decide not to..like these tricks, i could hit them before and now i can't..

DATW
swirl
whirl
DLO (maybe 1-15 tries..)

so I'll be focusing on one trick at a time till i master it..or something..but the point is that im stopping blogging.. I'll still post in other topics and stuff..

don't worry, dominik. i'm sure lots of people check this blog, but are too lazy to comment. primarily this blog is for you, so that you can easily see the progress you've made. on the 13th of november you wrote that you could hit mirage once in a while. well, now you've hit dlo and other nice stuff. and don't put too much stress on yourself (i always tend to do this).
keep it up. i'm looking forward to reading more about the hawaiian footbag-scene!

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 12 Feb 2006 20:57

Yeah..im sure people do read this..anyway..heres what i've been hitting:

xbody rake left
dlo bs
stepping left
butterfly bs
pixie-legover bs
pixie-ducking clipper!!! (hit 3 times but so nice)

I almost landed an eggbeater today, gotta work on that..
Since my 32 panel has holes, i decided to stitch them since one bb came out.. I stitched them and they were fine. then i shredded with it for a while and they opened again..and then i freaking stepped on my footbag tearing a HUGE freaking hole

now i pretty much can't freaking use it..im so pissed off....

What Island is Moutain View on? I'll be going to Pearl Harbor again soon and will have the chance to kick, any chance I'm on the right island?

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 13 Feb 2006 19:11

Mountain view is on what we call "the big island" or Hawaii (we call all the islands Hawaii because it is the biggest..) Pearl Harbor is on another island...Oahu

Here is in case this is confusing..:

I was really bored so i took time to search for a pic, draw on it, host it then post it..

Change your flight to the big island!! Or wait..its like $80 round trip from each island i think..or lower..damn..them..all...

Or i can somehow swim all the way over there..

Shredder- · Post by **Shredder-** » 25 Feb 2006 17:10

k, well everything has been sucking really bad here.. i haven't hit anything new because i haven't played for two weeks..i played this morning and the worst of worst happened..i was warming up kicking my mosher and it freaking bust open, about 10 bb's are now somewhere in cement cracks in front of my house and now my mosher is no better than a pile of dog crap. Its not the way the bag is stitched..nothing wrong with it i mean, just somehow i messed it up a while ago and all the panels starting ripping..i sewed the hole up and put some of my bbs in it..but its a worthless pile of shit now..it fucking sucks!

im thinking of just quiting footbag..i have no money and i highly doubt i will get any till christmas or something..and my footbags that i make suck after a weeks play..so i might just quit because my mr.sandbags suck to me and my mosher is pretty much dead! if i get money in the future then maybe i'll start again but still im fucking pissed off and will maybe quit soon..this FUCKING SUCKS.. I hate this!! The best sport and im screwed up..my lavers are too big and i can't dex my footbags or mr.sandbags..aaaaa FUCK
