The mosher didn't come today like I expected and I was bummed so I didn't really plan on playing, but for some reason I put in tricks of the trade, and the rest is history. Well not really but it was the best session in a while new trick wise.

Osis consistency went from 1 in 10 to like maybe 6 in ten. Flip isn't that far off either. I hit the real way to do whirl finally. I don't know why it took me so long but it did. I just tried it once and footed it. Then I kept trying it and I got it. And once again flip isn't to far behind. I don't know why I make things harder than they should be but I guess if I didn't I'd get bored. Also hit this wierd spinny osis/clipper thing that Dave says is far osis. I was describing it on aim though so I might have described it wrong. And finally, I can do hopover. That's one wierd trick. Idk.

Working tomorrow but at 5:45 so I'll probably play a little.

Another day where I wasn't planning on playing. Then Dave IMed me wanting to know if I wanted to kick. Sure I did. So we did.

We went down to the tennis courts for the second time since I startd. Drank more than half a gallon of water. Played for about 2.5 hours. Here are some highlights:

pdx mirage BSOS
whirl in middle of string
infinity x6
symp mirage middle of string

No mosher saturday either. I'm getting a little impatient but Dave lent me a pretty good bad to tide me over till it comes.

Youre improvements are good. Props on all that you hit at the courts. Waiting for bags is always exciting

I am now the proud owner of a pair of G6's. They're the black ones w/ a little bit of blue. I saw my one friend walking around in them and he told me they didn't fit him anymore so I bought them off him for $40 since he barely ever wore them. Nice shoes and don't look as awkward as lavers. Way easier to mod imo. I'll probably where then to school and work and keep the lavers for serious play.

Btw everyone go to Ashley's blog and tell her to feel better.

Haven't posted in a pretty long time. Kinda stressed out the last few days. Lets recap on the stress:

Friday- School, work on project at friends house(get nothing done), community service hours for school(4 for today)
Saturday- More community service(10 hours today

)
Sunday- Still more community service(4.5 hours today)
Monday- Shcool, work on project more(finished thank God)
Tuesday- School, work

So I was just leaking anxiety all over the place. But to lighten my mood the mosher came yesterday(finally).

Specs:
blue with dark reddish pents
54.1g
crazy filler(I think it might be rubber or something)

I really like it personally. Thanks a crapload Tom. It was worth the wait. I have no idea what to make of the stuff you sent me. I was never good with putting random clues together. But the candy necklace tasted good.

Had my first session in a while today. Went to Dave's and played for like 2 hours. There were some good highlights.

infinityx6 again
osisx3
mirage>far clipper>far legover>legover>rpt
clip>op clipx4
some ok runs

Now I'm just tired. Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow. This vacation is going to be WAY to short for me.

Went to my buddy Big Al's today. Watched some videos and played a little. He seems to think it's pretty cool so I let him borrow my sandmaster. I doubt he'll really get into it but you never know.

But in other news I have a surprise for you all. My first four add. No this isn't a cruel joke. I was trying pixie mirage and experimenting with pixie and I got dimwalk first try. Didn't get it again. It was pretty lucky. But it was perfect. Perfect set. Perfect butterfly. Just all around perfect. I'm getting better with pixie so I hope to hit it again during this vacation along with pixie mirage and pixie legover.

My other bags should be coming soon so that would be cool. I'm getting a matt cross and a jake ray bag from Nogbag who injured himself and can't play anymore. That really sucks. Good luck to you.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 13 Apr 2006 20:08

Yay! I am so glad you got your bag!

I really hope that you enjoy it a lot, I think it is a swell bag!

Be real nice to it and when it gets dirty wash it according to the info on the KFM site.

Happy shredding!

PS don't forget to decipher the clues!

I can't figure them out. I've been trying since I got the bag. Please help me.

mtoolan · Post by **mtoolan** » 17 Apr 2006 13:42

I got the bags on Saturday so I hadn't been able to play until today. So there was another tennis court session. I had some pretty lengthy rns at the beginning at least for me. Here are some of the highlights:

dimwalk a couple more times
smear
mirage>far clipper>far legover>legover>rpt
8 consecutive flip clippers(I know it still sucks)

It was a pretty long session and my hip kinda hurts a little but I have to go to work in 5 minutes anyway. But first I'm going to go bite the head off of my easter bunny.

mtoolan · Post by **mtoolan** » 19 Apr 2006 14:58

Pretty good session today. Did a solid warmup, sweated like a pig, hit some satisfying stuff. I'm happy.

mirage>butterfly>far legover>legover>rpt
butterfly>pdx mirage>rpt first try
pixie legover
consecutive flip clipper x 10 (thats right!)
flip symp mirage

Worked infinties a lot today to but it just wasn't givin' me anything. Tried for 8 but just didn't happen.

Definitely playing tomorrow.

mtoolan · Post by **mtoolan** » 19 Apr 2006 18:11

Another session today. Last minute with Dave. Here's the rundown

drifter(I freakin footed it flip)
How about you scratch that flip clipper record. It is now 13
flip whirl

Thats right!

mtoolan · Post by **mtoolan** » 26 Apr 2006 18:31

Good shred day. I'm kinda tired though because I played for like 2 hours. Went home showered and went to work. Now my feet hurt pretty bad. But it was an awesome session. A few nice, long runs and some new stuff.

flip drifter
swirl(like 10th try ever)
and my personal favorite: 130 kicks.

So I finally broke 100. And I beat my old record(82) by almost 50. Awesome.
And I gotta hit that swirl flip. Kinda close.

mtoolan · Post by **mtoolan** » 27 Apr 2006 13:52

Holy crap!!! AMAZING session. Ameazing doesnt even begin to describe it. You guys will probably be like,"So what. Nothing special." but you have no idea how crazed I am right now. My body's exhausted but my mind feels like a just drank 2 bottle of coke. We'll start from ok to awesome.

11 alternating clippers
27 consecutive clippers
flip dimwalk
amazingly/wierdly better stepping and flip pixie sets
43 consecutive FLIP clippers

That was one amazing 2+ hour solo session. Probably my favorite one ever.

OK, so after my mega-stupendous super session I went inside, lounged around, you know. Then I ate about to pounds of rice and some chili, and did the dishes like a good little boy. Went downstairs, fired up the old aol insatnt messanger, log on to modified, and then Dave IMs me. "Hey, you wanna play for like, half an hour while I wait for dinner?" Then I said,"Sure but I don't know if I'll play any good after my mega-stupendous super session." So off I went.

16 alternating legovers(duh)
9 consecutive mirages both sides
whirl bsos(complete luck on the flip whirl)

And that half hour turned into like 1 and a half hours. I'm pretty proud of myself today. I broke 5 personal bests all togethter. Probably my best day for footbag ever.

Dude, you're learning stuff SO fast!!

Keep shredding hard man, Ive started on your new bag, I will fire it off ASAP.

Sorry about the bad luck with the material, the stitches are fine though right?

You have basically the best teacher in footbag helping you learn this beautiful sport.

You and David should make a shred video!!!

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 24 May 2006 13:25

Mike, you are SO much better than me- even though we pretty much started at the same time. I'm jealous, and I hate you now, you big fat stupid head!

Life has been pretty hectic lately. My dad had a heart attack last week and that scared the crap out of our whole family. He's finally home now but he's not going back to work for at least 2 weeks.

Also, last day of school today. Besides the joy of it being over, it was pretty hot today. Low to mid 90s I'd say. And, of course, theres no air conditioning at my school. Then right after school I went to work and pushed carts in this god forsaken heat.

So naturally all of this has thrown off my footbag time but I've still played. Learned lots of new stuff and bsosed lots of cool stuff. My runs are getting longer but I still really want to work the length. I'm pretty close to a lot of new stuff too.

So thats about it for now. Peace.
