With an eclipse you catch the bag while airborne and set it airborne (before landing).

With catwalk you catch the bag airborne and land with it still on your clipper.

had a session with Alex, he wasn't in a good mood, he lost his footbag. We ended up playing with crochet (same bag I use at home). New stuff: hit pixie ss mirage(double pixie?) but that was about all.

Anyway, thinking of playing a bit less for various reasons.

Care to elaborate? Playing less footbag is never a good thing

Sucks that Alex lost his bag

was it his Toby?

Yes, it was his Toby bag.

As for less footbag, there are clashes of personalities involved, the reason why all the Northcote bunch quit. It's a pity how people haven't been enjoying themselves all that much recently. I'm not quitting just yet, I still have lots of fun when playing at home or when playing in random hack circles, its just that the atmosphere has changed from when I started freestyle.

Oh man that sucks Janis! Try not to let other people stop u from playing man, there are a lot of sweet people who play footbag but not everyone is easy to get along with, but that doesn't mean you can't continue to enjoy footbag despite them

solo sessions is where it is at!

janis · Post by **janis** » 08 May 2006 01:08

ok, not quite sober post:

yeah, looks like it, otherwise I'll lose interest, talked to a few people about this, and decided that I'll play less and check modified less, but not quiting just playing bit less these days

james_dean · Post by **james_dean** » 08 May 2006 05:12

that sucks janis.

I agree solo sessions rock... well, I don't have a choice hehe. Hopefully I get down to shred with you again soon

Janis,

Youve improved so much lately so it would be so dissapointing if you stop laying that much. Sorry for being angry last time but i was pissed off it was toby bag. Shred soon
