take it easy for a while. that knee problem won't fix itself by more of what caused it; footbag - though it's hard to not think of something u wanna do but can't..

edit: gah, sorry for stealing the top page.

im not straining it while i play... but i am gonna stop for this week and concentrate on stitching.

i got the day off today. thats cool. i got up at 830, expecting to work at ten, only to find my boss called me at 2am and said come in at noon.

sweet. i can start a footbag today then...

so i get half way thru a bag, and... boss calls and says to not worry about work, we'll do it tomorrow.

sweet. im gonna make 2 whole footbags today. and now im 3 pents from finishing the first.

i really like this one. its amista (alittle thin, but amazing) and white.

also, the next bag im making is a trade for alakazou. its petit and hawii.

well. i guess im gonna go make some lunch and finish that footbag.


and i think im gonna start selling to modified when july gets here.

my knees havent gave me a problem this week.

i didnt reallyshred, i would kick for a few then shred for like a minute, then quit. so like a 5 or 10 min sesh, 2 times a day.

im getting good. i can hit my 10 contact string and half is guiltless tricks.

i just gotta get in a good sesh soon for string length, and trick difficulty mid string.

im gonna get a few good bags soon (just got a hackysnack like monday, it rocks) but im getting a shredzilla bag and mahkkohh bagand alakozu bag. i cant wait!

i also am getting more and more proud of my stitching. my bags play great from blind stitch to holey panels. very playable from start, and it only gets better.


im getting psyched for this comp in a month, and i want to be playing really good. ive been having a few good sessions, and i want to get a routine worked out. i usually playwith no music, but i have to find something for this comp... i found one song i like, but im still looking.

(maybe ill do NESkimos bubbleman, its laid back, but gets faster and more agressive at times)

well, its ten till ten, so i gotta get ready for work.

cya

shit. thats what my life is now.

i had the worst night ever last night.

i had a friend get arrested and spent the night in jail.
but i got to go to work an hour later than normal. cause i busted my ass all weekend long.

i also wont have another day off for like another week (14 days, no day off)

i finished a footbag. thats good. its flash and zebra. i like it, but i havent kicked it to see if it will play right. its round and pretty small.

when i get paid next next wednesday, im gonna buy the biggest bag i can find. me+thc= :lol: i could use it since im so tired of everything right now.

(but im not tired of footbag, its only getting better)

i want to own ripwalks. i also got this swirling rake going on that i like.

i guess im gonna surf ebizzle for some climas

man, 4th of july never rocked so hard.

i had 2 dif bbq's to go to, plus footbag at one, plus pools at both. redbull everwhere, bbq ribs, hitting blizzard,

dammit i had fun.

i smoked dank too. i was fucked all day. it was great.

im still fucked up. i will be for the rest of the day.

i woke up and it had been raining hard all night. didnt even notice :oops: !

im goign to get pizza in a few, then a small sesh, and to the post office.

my shred from yesterdays highlights.

blizzard (blurry illusion)
10+ tiltless strings
5+contact guiltless strings (bop and unique)
ripwalks, blurry hoe,

jamming my foot in the ground (i was too high) and breaking a toe, bruising another.


well, i guess thats all for now, as its time for me to leave.

Much props to your footbag progress. I'm such a light shredder that my progress is extremely slow lately. I don't have much inspiration these days for freestyle, so it's a bit hard. Maybe not enough Ganja? :lol:

Maybe we should do a trade on 32s. That would be sweet. I kind of lost my template for my regulars, but I can stitch you up a mini. PM me if you want to, and I'll list up some colors you want for a bag. :)

Oh, and try HooD's House for some daily stretches you might want to consider. I've been stretching daily from the examples given in this site, and it helped alot (especially for my knees and hips). Hope this helps.

so its been a few days since i ve shredded, but i wanted to post some stuff.

my stomach muscles have been so sore. i worked them way too much the other day, and now it hurts to even touch them.

also, my ribs hurt for the same reason.

ive made like 3 footbags, but i dont have a cam

the newest ones were

opal w. white pents

opal and white with col. red pents

the one befre that was atlantis and fusica i guess.

im so hungry. i came to work, but didnt eat first (went to bed @1, came to work @9


ive been hanging alot with my friend lately. pretty much any time out of work (shes gone now tho). probably why i havent shredded. girls.

lately my mind has been very clear. i can visualize everything i do, and its been helping my footbag a shit ton. im hitting hard tricks, but ive been lazy to train endurance lately, so i hope my tourny wont make me too tired to shred hard for my routine

ive worked on clipper game alot lately.

ive hit atom smasher and fear for new tricks recently.

i hit datw 4 times b2b yesterday. it felt sweet.

but with all this strain my knee has been aching some lately.

ive finished about 5 bags in 2 weeks, so ive got 7 or 8 to take to these tournies and make some scratch.

im donating one, but that wont hurt my finances too much. i just hope people wont be broke asses and just look. ive never sold bags at a tourney, so i dont know what to do.

i made the prettiest bag ive ever made last night. its a mini brinard, dark jade with navy pents. low medium gather. he plays so good too.

(ps, brinard bags will now have a new filler, so if you want old filler (very good too) just say so.

they are both using lead pellets, but there is a big difference between the two fills.

so ive moved into a classmates house now, and i couldnt be happier. ive got a big room *plenty for shredding* and a closet and window and everything. (ive never had such a nice place).

plus, i dont have to pay to live there, and food is provided!

i jjust have to drive said friend to school and home. no prob.

i just had a shred not too long ago, hitting mostly 4 contact mostly guiltless strings, with drops. i wanted to drill ducking, and spinngng( hit spinning refraction today too, also maverick the other day) i have been working drifter some, hitting about half the time. i was just lagging this morning tho. i had a lot of unesscary drops. i hope i dont have an anxiety attack or something at the tourney. (i get too nervous sometimes)



i was tired. i went into work last night (after a full days work) and worked from 930 pm to 230 am. laying carpet into a sound stage area. it needed to be more sound absorbing. gay.

i guess to sum it up, life is going pretty good, but could be alittle easier if i wanted it. but no complaiints.

cya soon.
