Holy crap you made that Chainmail bag Janis? That is mint man! I want one!

Totally ownage session with Scott and Dan. 2 hours of really fantastic footbag from everyone, everyone was having a really good session

At the start we played with the chainmail hack for a bit, it turned out really well, I was playing tiltless with it and Dan was busting out osis with it easily.
Scott was playing really well, with extremely solid runs, busting out effortless 4>4 links, torques and really good spinning clippers. Dan was doing massive runs he BSOSed sunilwalker and janiwaker with ease and came close to whirr BSOS too, the 7 fearless to end the session was crazy

Inspired by the great playing around me I had a total ownage session too

Started off with a 20+ contact tiltless run with lots of toe ducking moves, I was hitting quantum set for the first time today and rev whirls were good too, footed quantum rev whirl. Eggbeaters were the total ownage linking them easily into guiltless combos

DLO's came back to me again after a long absence, managed to hit DLO>eggbeater for the first time, w00t!

New moves: quantum mirage

<-- hell yeah! this was like a dream move earlier in the year

assassin

<--pixie ducking was really good!

New links:
DLO>eggbeater
pdx mirage(flip)>eggbeater

Had a session with Jamie and Dan today, had a go with Jamie's mini mini mini bag

Saw Jamie hit tap>atom rpt which was cool and Dan bsosed whirr for the first time

strings really sucked badly today, but there were some good single tricks, hit flip eggbeater a few times and toe DLO felt ok. Then the session totally changed after hitting miraging symp mirage for the first time

Kicked with Dan last night, not very long but was good.

Hagesy, that challenge is a bit hard, maybe in another 3 years.

Hope to see Alex there on Sunday.

janis · Post by **janis** » 26 Jul 2006 23:20

lol, I want to see that as well

Had a short session with Dan at uni for about an hour, mostly low intensity stuff. Didn't really do runs cause I got really tired really quickly.

Crazy day today, Alex tells me to come to the Australia's got talent auditions the day before, so we went there at 11am and registered. We thought we were on soon so we decided to warm up, we end up shredding hard for 2 and a half hours. While we were warming up the people at the show filmed Alex (he didn't know he was being filmed) hit a massive run with scorpions tail and ps whirl and double over down swirls, I managed to hit an ok run for the camera (some ducking/diving toe stuff). There were some funny acts before us and a whole bunch of little kids singing songs. By the time we were on camera I'd totally gone cold, I introduced and talked to the people in front of camera and Alex managed to hit a good run for the camera ending with PS whirl.

After that we went and shredded at Fed square for a bit. That was pretty good, Alex is now hitting pdx torque really well and scorpions tail bs relatively easily. My game improved just toady, DATW now makes sense and paradon feels good, almost ducked quantum set, unfortunately I really fucked my knee up doing a miraging flail.

PROPS to Alex for playing awsome in front of the camera and with the pressure on.

new moves: DATW in-out

(strongside only

)
Ripwalk <---this was a "lol" attempt, but I hit it, lol

new links: DATW in-out and DATW out-in in the same run
spinning clipper midrun

nah I hit dimwalk rake and merlin before.
I think "roflmao roflcopter" best describes my flipside clipper, though both toes are ok.
