Can't wait to play with you guys and show you what footbag is all about... actually, if you like having fun and improving your game with your friends, then you already know what it's all about ;) I hope we can all hit some new tricks.

See you soon.
BRICK!

have not posted in this in a while, mostly because i ahvnt been shredding a lot, due to crew, drivers ed, confirmation, and trying to get a job. finally today though i found time to shred. have you ever had that feeling where everythjing seems to go in slow motion? well today that paid off. it was like i could slow the bag down in the air so it had more time for me to dex it, it was like woahhhh. it was very nice to have that feeling, gave me a second to concentrate. my ATW's came together and so did my clippers and butterfly's. Very happy about today, did some move i dont even know what its called, doing some research now.

That's one of the best feeling you can have, it's also called being in the zone! Props on getting your tricks down! keep practicing and you might want to start linking tricks, just a suggestion.

silly mathew, here are my new shoes...

these shoes are from my mother, she promissed that she would take me to the mall to get running shoes, but i saw these and wanted them, they also play very well. I have money for lavers but my dad said we cant put our card number on the internet right now because we have and identity theft virus. oh well. these will last me a long time.

oh yea, it looks like leather, but its not, its fabric with spots of thin rubber which doesnt hurt the game.

Those shoes look pretty good actually! Not bad!

Props on hitting dimwalk! I've been shredding for a lot longer and still haven't hit that trick. I hit my first 4 myself just the other day (ducking pdx mirage) and my first pixie set trick and butterfly not too long ago so hopefully I'll hit dimwalk soon. Keep it up, and make sure you are hitting all these new moves on your flipside as well!

wtf, why is reverse whirl so easy, anyone else figure this out? I looked on hackrifice for new tricks to try and i tried that one....hit it first try and i can keep on hitting it now...interesting. a regular whirl is so hard for me tho.
