Small kid's always want good bag's.I've kinda got two 7-8 year old kids into footbag they came today to train one of them can do 10 kick's now.They use my 14 panel bag's.Will come tomorrow too :) maybe they will get really exited about this and train :D that will be really cool.

You are so lucky you have a variety of shoes :wink: i get to shred in common Code:u's.Can't wait to get lavers :)

Prop's on the increasing string lenght!Get that tiltles string to 15.Long string's are much better than harder trick's.

hes not a small kid, hes 19, but shows interest... he does those juggling stick things... yeah, shoes make a difference, and i wanna have what i thnk is best... and now thats clima. lavers is a close second tho. ... i guess i am pretty luckey, tho i spend all my fun money on footbag. i dont get to eat so nice, but i get to eat still. i think i spent about the same amount on video games when i wasnt playing footbag. so you just gotta pick whats worth buying. games or footbag. or crap. i had to spend lots on my car for a while.

im gonna shred for an hour after work probly, and i hope it goes well... ill prob work on challenges. i havent done much from there lately... but i have been working on the butter and mirage combo you gave me kljopa! thanks, thats a tougher one for me, as i dont string clippers much....

im gonna go, i gotta get ready for work now.

cya

shred

holy shit!

i just got my package, from one Pengpeng Du (and Tom Mosher). i was so excited, ive been waiting for this package for two weeks now. meeting the mailman at the door, and following him to the mailroom. but today was the day!

upon opening , i couldnt stop smiling. i got my panelpacks, some glovers needles, my patching tape, a sticker, and the best of all, a pengbag. the most of this package was an order i made, but peng gave my wife and i the coolest wedding gift we got (to me anyways). a pengbag in our wedding colors. she got the colors PERFECT. i let her know they were black red w/ white. soooo soft and plushy. i love this bag. i think i anticipated its arrival way more, as it was a gift. i love gifts. they rock. the pengbag is about the size of my near broken in mini abshire, and is quiet when shaken, unlike any other bag i own... neat... im so stoked! i cant wait to shred it, which i will today at my footbag meeting. only me tho, sorry guys!

okay, so its tuesday, at 115 pm. yesterday, i met my footbag friends for the weekly shred, bringing all my bags (5, at the time) to let everyone see, and have a good bag to use for the day...

ive since then completed my first footbag, that i sewed. my wife is finishing hers as i speak. hers is so nice. with some honeing, im sure she'll go far. mine is all lopsided and shit, and hers is pretty round. shes just gott learn to be precise, and consistant.

but about yesterdays shred. it was great. we had lotsa fun, and i think i hit a new trick.... oh yeah, flip pdx mirage! i never really tried it, since my strong side pdx mirage is kinda weak. i also worked on drifter, and ducking osis. no solid seals tho.

im gonna work on ducknig alot today i think... it feels like i should learn that....

footbag is going good. im gonna buy some facile at the end of this week, and then jess and i will start stitching for real. now to figure out this pattern generator...

today was good. i fucked around, and didnt do much, then shredded at about 4 @ a highskool nearby. i lightly played, just to sesh. i hit about a 10 contact string. hit 2 guiltless 3contact strings. same tricks for the most part, but in dif orders.

also, i hit dlo for the first time. thats up to like 3-4 new tricks in 2 days. wow. im improving!

im having so much fun playing now that i shred with other people. i gotta work my endurance. after about 40 mins of shred, i was tired, and could barely hit symp mirage. i could still tiltless, but i was too tired. so i just stopped. then it was time to go home, and watch the simpsons. i dont ever miss it if i can help it. and on the way home saw a 5 car pileup w/ a semi at the end... good thing it was on the opp side of the interstate!

i might or might not shred tonight. i need to do some homework, and will start that after jess goes to work. @ 10pm. prolly sesh at 11. bed by 12. wake up @ 7. go to class. and have a horrible day, as tuesday and thursdays always suck. i have 3 classes those days. fuckers.

okay, im ranting now, so im gonna go find something inspirational on the internet. bye

Congrats on getting drifter, I remember when I hit my first drifter (which was like a month ago, maybe a little longer) I was like "Did I just do that!?!?!?!?!?!?." Work on getting it flipside now, and congrats again!!!!!!

Man you've hit a ton of new tricks this week Brian! Lets see Eggbeater, Swirl, DLO, drifter, even more right? Awesome! Way to go. I haven't been able to shred much with a whole bunch of BS going on (hip pain, blew out a tire, my gf just got in a wreck today, taxes were due, work drama, it sucks). Rock on man.

Go for bubbabeater! It's a clipper set eggbeater, harder but looks cooler.

i guess my day hasnt been so bad.

i stayed up til 2 or 3 stitching my 2nd footbag. i finished it today at 4. its fucking sick. its so pretty. i named him eeyore. i think my sttiching was pretty good, esp. since its my 2nd bag. only about 2 flaws, and my gathering could use some work getting consistant.

its pretty round, and heavy. filled w/ copper plated lead.
if your interested,

ill be up late tonight. probly after midnight. i gotta finish my typography project, due at 8 am tomorrow. typeography is the study of type, like fonts and stuff. intro to graphic design.

as for footbag, ive cut out my 2nd panel set. this one looks nice. atlantis and flash red, and man do they look good together. ill prbly stitch it tomorrow, but start my first or second pents tonight. gotta take a break from studing you know.

i went to the skatepark today, but forgot my phone, so i couldnt let my shred buds know. i did shred some , and skate some.

no high points of shred except a 50% guiltless string wit tiltless, and its about 7 contacks or so.

im ready to take some asparin, study for my test and finish my project... now to get the motivation to do it. ill get it done, dont worry.

i guess im gonna go, so eveybody hit a few tricks for me while i study my ass off.
