I'm still gonna play at U of T (MedSci building) on Friday morning at 10. Hope you'll be better by then Camille, but if in doubt, keep resting for Saturday shred.

Ahh! Disregard my last post. I am no longer able to play on friday. I'm working 2 hours earlier than normal, so, unless the session starts at 8:00 am...

didn't think so.

well i played a bit of hack on the street with some friends today and i realize i havent played footbag in over a month
I am ready to step back into it although i feel very rusty for sure

but im still going friday even if no one else is coming, I need to shred for sure

I'm feeling oh so fine, though the pain might start up again if I play hard. So I'm gonna come play Friday anyway, keep it light, and see what happens.

8 am is way too early for me. Since Mike can't make it, do you guys want to just play at like 1:00 instead? I could use the extra sleep.

hm?

Taishi!!! Please get this message!!! And please call me at:

416-275-9470

That's my cell phone number. I'm gonna PM you my house number too, just in case. Although I recommend calling my cell phone first. Anyway, the plan, if we can swing it, would be for me to meet you at islington. I'm really not comfortable with driving inside the city and don't wanna get caught in the mess that is downtown traffic on a friday evening, so try your hardest to meet me somewhere outside of the city. Anyway, I'll PM you my house number. Try and get back to me ASAP.

Woo! Footbag!

Good news everyone.

Though I stayed at my Mom's place for the weekend, I got in a decent shred session today with my sister Hannah, who is considering getting into footbag. She said if I can order her some Lavers (I owe her a b-day present anyway) she will work on it. She hit some good alternating toe stalls today with the worst shoes ever, and seems to have a natural feel to the motions.

So anyway, more about me!

I hit Paradon both sides! Finally, ugh. I found out how key a low set is in combination with the quick plant. Plasticman, here I come, heheh.
Other than that, highlights were some good runs with barrages, some decent links, and a couple high school guys who stopped to hack a little (quite possibly as much for Hannah as for the shred, oh well). Happy day for me!

Edit:
As far as shred sopts go at North York, ouside seems to be the only option I've found so far, ALTHOUGH there is a YMCA very very close. Maybe I'll give them a call and see about a gym sometime, what do you all think? Other than that, Bill and I, if we ever get in touch, will go scouting for prime shred spots, hopefully soon. Oh, and my next few weekends are looking mighty busy, so I'll keep in touch here and hopefully be able to see you all soon!

Last weekend was awesome! Camille, my cousin Mat and I went to see Jorden, Johnny and Matt Cross play in Dundas for the local Buskerfest. It got rained out in the late afternoon, but we all went to Jorden's for more shred, pizza and guitar. Lots of amazing stuff happened all day, including incredible rippin' runs by the guys (I think Johnny estimated one of his runs at 50+ contacts

), and hilarious shenanigans - much of which was caught on video (so I won't describe it all here).

On Sunday I played some more with Camille, Andrew, and about 20 little kids. It got tiring showing them all how to kick, and share the bag, but they were cool. Afterwards, Andrew gave me some footbag homework- basically, an intense 8-week program of mirages and clippers- 30 on each side to finish every session. I can already do these moves, but I think the idea is to burn the motions into my muscle memory when my legs are tired, weak and 'mouldable'. Can't wait to see the results!

I'm eager to play more. Anyone up for a morning (10am) or a night (9:30pm) session this week? Awkward times, but I have to play around my work schedule. What about a weekend session at the beach?

Camilleon · Post by **Camilleon** » 05 Jun 2006 13:17

Josh, that's so awesome about Hannah! I'm pretty sure Billy's sister has that name too, and she once played footbag with us, years ago, when she was really little.

How old is Hannah?

As for North York shred spots, the YMCA is a bit much, like $10 for one visit. I doubt anyone will want to do that just for a spot, especially in the summer. I know I don't.

In that area, we usually play outside the passenger pick-up at Don Mills Station, it's a nice flat spot and Fairview is right there. It's also well lit; last summer we always played there until very late at night. We've played inside the passenger pick-up when it rained or was too cold, too. They've never kicked us out... security there likes us- we give them something to watch.

What do you think?

Skeletor · Post by **Skeletor** » 05 Jun 2006 17:54

Mike Im open to shredding either am or pm session
just lemme know what day is best

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 05 Jun 2006 19:39

I'm gonna practice tuesday morning at U of T (MedSci building). I'll be there at 10 am. If anyone (I'm looking at you Vida) want's to play with me I'd be delighted to have company! I'll play until 1 o'clock- or until my knee decides it's had enough.

Oh and props on the Paradons Josh! You're insane!

Skeletor · Post by **Skeletor** » 06 Jun 2006 04:12

Ill be there with bells on
or at least lavers

*edit
I didnt realize tuesday was today

Ive got to meet someone at 10 that I forgot about. Ill have to catch you next time Mike

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 06 Jun 2006 12:05

Don't sweat it, Vida. I'll be at the same spot, same time tomorrow. So if anyone want's to play- I'll be there for sure.

Today was a great session for me. It was mostly drills and repetition of simple stuff, which was very tiring, but after an hour and a half of that I could hit all my moves with good accuracy.

What do you guys think of my new avatar?! Would anyone buy a shirt of Mario doing a clipper?

Camilleon · Post by **Camilleon** » 06 Jun 2006 12:58

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK AVATAR MAN! I WOULD SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUY A SHIRT WITH THAT! If you could get a tank top I'd be even more willing.

Sorry I couldn't make the session, bar night last night.

Mike, I would be down for a session there, but I want to play at the beach tomorrow. I could play there Thursday morning though, how's that?

I have plans to meet my friend at the beach tomorrow evening (his house is practically on the boardwalk), so I thought it would be good to play there during the day. Like around 2? Anyone interested?

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 06 Jun 2006 13:16

Cool. I plan on playing thursday morning too. And Friday.... saturday .... sunday...

I don't know if I'd 'officially' sell the mario shirt on Modified. Don't want Nintnendo on my back. Maybe just make a few for fun.

taishi · Post by **taishi** » 06 Jun 2006 23:07

I arrived in toronto yesterday!! Montreal trip was so fun!!Thanks skippy,tom,pengpeng!!

I'll be there tomorrow(today)!!I figured out about how to plactice footbag when I asked to Chris.

I have to practice about tricks - 20 on each side to finish every session.Mike,I think you are right about how to practice!!

I've practiced footbag tricks only 5 on each side up till now...It's not good how to practice.
We have to burn the motions into my muscle memory.so I'm going to practice by myself If we practice footbag together.
I'll play footbag together someone(make circle)last 30 minutes

English is difficult for me

Can you understand?

-Mike Your AVATAR is so goooooooooooood!!!I would buy a shirt with that for sure!!

Skeletor · Post by **Skeletor** » 07 Jun 2006 12:53

Okay, whos playing tomorrow and where?
Mike I second Camille on the tank top or at least smal fitting shirt and yeah id totalyl pick up one!

BuckRuckus · Post by **BuckRuckus** » 07 Jun 2006 13:18

Camille, Taishi and I are gonna be at the U of T spot at 10 am. Be there!

And as for the shirt, I may print out some iron-ons to give away, but I probably won't make this one up.

Lackey82 · Post by **Lackey82** » 08 Jun 2006 13:12

Hey all!

Hopefully this gets out in time to respond... but is anyone free to play tomorrow around noon? I'm actually free for a few hours after I enroll for my courses at 10:30am!

I'll go almost anywhere and meet anyone to play tomorrow, I miss everyone very much. I'll check back soon!
