I had alot of skoolin time today. I can finally hit atw's without struggling. But i got so frustrated because i couldnt hit a dex into a clipper. Is there some kind of secret to doing it because the bag hits my leg when i go into a clipper.

umm still requesting songs and bands.

Yeah, there is a trick...
KEEP TRYIN`!
You will get it!! Then, once you hit it, you will think `Oh! THAT`S how you do it!

Good luck!

^^ the o's in footbag are zeros.

There's a lot of music on there from fellow footbaggers.
And keep practicing! Almost nothing cool is easy at first. We've all been there.

Thanks for the link.

This afternoon I had a revelation.
I was looking closely at my atw's. I noticed a flaw that was making them harder. when I bring my foot up to bring the bag up, it (my foot ) goes to the outside. This makes me have to swing my leg around farther, this doesnt let me succesfully hit the atw.

but the problem I face is learning to bring it straight up and do the atw.
any tips.

I need anew 32. Badly. I fear that my old one is about to die.

I wish i could stitch my own but I'm denied the materials to do that.

I also wish I could buy my own w/out going through the trouble of arguing w/ my parents.

But if i can find a stitcher who stitches for a relativly low price, or someone who will sell me one of there "used" ones I'm not even going to bother telling them. Because I trust everyone here, my parents though dont. ( But thats ok its my money!!!)

Ohh there is that issue with me being broke too. So my old one will have to last until my birthday or if some money just randomly apears.

But hey its al good.

I havnt had much skoolin time this week. I plan to play at or after church tonight.

I hit an atw with my girlfriends converse shoe. ( stalled the actual shoe on my foot and did it...... yeah) pointless)

Gosh I feel so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had the best skoolin session Ive ever had tonight I practiced everything ive ever hit on both sides. Just from working tonight I can hit atw's with ease, clipper stall are looking alot better, and stalls on my left side are looking like my strong side. I am soooooooo close to hitting an out/in atw on my left side, somthing that i cant do on my right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See what happened is, all that i ever worked was my strong side. then I was thinking if i ever want to hit anyhting amazing I need to catch up on my weak side, so thats exactly what im doing. Im refraining from learning any ting extremely new until ive caught up a little it more on my weak side.

Some more great news. Im getting money together to buy a new 32. Im considered( and almost completly desided) on one of Josh Raye's bags. I have the majority of the money I need( in loose change of course) siting in a jar in my room. ive been searching every nook and crany of my house looking for quarters dimes and nickels trying to raise the money i need.

Good luck with whatever 32 panel bag. You can't go wrong with buying a bag from any of the stichers on this site. In a few weeks Ill get one from here, but I still like my Footfighter. Good luck with shredding and I hope you can shred for a long time

Last night and this afternoon i hit two left side out/in atw's. My progresion for footbag has been slow but this is the hardest ive ever worked since when i first started. Im getting better quick (now that in working on it all the time)

Tonight Im going to shred at church. I wont get much, if any shred time tomorrow due to putting together the school newspaper and yearbook.

Ive been riding my bike alot lately. Ive noticed that this old church down my road is a cool place to shred or do anything really. its got nice smoot blacktop, a basketball goal. its just really cool. i may go there somtime before church today.

Hopefully Ill be able to shred wensday.

ive got 22.90 of the 25.75 dollars I need to get a new bag stitched by Josh raye. ive been finding a couple cents here and there all adding up.

On febuary 18th I hope to be going to the Valantines day massacre, in tennessee. Not to compete, just to go and watch. ( If i was about 5 times better i would compete).

Hey, I had a good shred at church. Ive got a pic of what the sancuary looks like.(Thatswhere I shred). The chairs are all pushed out of the way.

I got out of news paper work early! Yaaaaaay. heres the computer I work at.

Um now that i know how to get my phone pics to my computer Im taking pictures all the time.

jbalexdarkelf · Post by **jbalexdarkelf** » 01 Feb 2006 14:05

okay.

Would this be a titless combo?

ATW>Pixie>ATW

Colin · Post by **Colin** » 01 Feb 2006 14:36

It would indeed. Better still since it involves both feet.

Nice wallpaper on the computer.

jbalexdarkelf · Post by **jbalexdarkelf** » 01 Feb 2006 14:44

thanks.

jbalexdarkelf · Post by **jbalexdarkelf** » 02 Feb 2006 13:40

The ATW>Pixie>ATW is the first titleless combo ive hit. Its a real acomplishment for me because it involves dexes and both legs. Id appreciate tips on pixies and dexes.

Ive been grounded for the weekend. I didnt get that much skooling time. Ive having problems with my pixies. Any suggestions/

Ive run into a bit of a hugenormous wall called parents. They found out somehow that Im spending 25 dolloars on a footbag and may not let me.

Well thats sucks!!!!!!!!!!

jbalexdarkelf · Post by **jbalexdarkelf** » 22 Feb 2006 15:44

Im sitting here at school, because thats the only place i can use the computer.

Dont know if ill be getting a new footbag due to parents.
Ive had no time to shred lately. yeah it sucks.

Ill try to shred some tonight.

Dont stop playing footbag. Make one if you have to.

Also, because I HAVE to ask... Are you getting paid for having that pic as your avatar?

jbalexdarkelf · Post by **jbalexdarkelf** » 27 Mar 2006 18:48

Im back, its funny really, go through this blog and see how many times ive been grounded. Lots, but im back and still grounded.

I wish I was getting paid for having Mountain Dew as my avatar, but Mountain Dew is my most favorite drink ever( mdx is quite good too) but its still mountain dew) on crack).

But I have had absolutly no time whatsoever for shred

It seems that when Im disconected from the community (of footbag) im disconeted from footbag all together. But its somthing Ill have to get over. For I see many days of groundment before me.

I havnt had time because of this bs class. Newspaper and yearbook in the same class!!!!!!!!! Deadlines are like every other day, and all of this work is just getting dumped on me. IT SUCKS. This class has taken like five years off of my lifespan with all of the sress and bs ive put up with.

My girlfriend broke up with me, but its okay. She really thinks im tore up about it, but im not. Mean but the truth.

More changes!!! It took me a week to find out where modified.ca went. I was freeking out. I said "Where the heks modified, please dont make me hve to start posting on footbag.org again."
( just kidding footbag.org, it is a extremely awsome web site and got me into footbag in the first place). But its all cool now.

Like my quote in my sig. I think I made it p. I was the first one to say it at my school, I know that much. Im talking about "Beggers cant be choosers, yes, but givers cant be asses."

It was great to get to post again, I hope I get to post alot now.

I WILL SHRED ONCE AGAIN

Mountain Dew is the Nectar of the Gods. It is the Wellspring of Life. It is the most decadent liquid on the face of the planet. Glad to see someone else understands.
