I'm done, I'm out, I'm deploying. My last video that I will make for San Diego sits in the video forum, enjoy it, I won't be able to film SD footage for some time. Thank you to everyone who helped me progress this last year because I look back at my shred then and can only say wow to my development now. Out.

Just got to Kuwait. Lots of sand, lots of training, lots of fun. Been playing footbag very rarely, don't have enough stable seas to have any real sessions. Had a run with Blurry Whirl and Tomahawk BSOS, Ripwalk X20 ending with PS Whirl, and practice with alot of Gyro DLO's. Nothing really, hopefully I won't lose what I gained last year during this deployment. I did make two new movies but I won't be able to upload them for some time. Just something fun to spend the boredom on. Take it easy modified, I'll try to be in touch.

Train, train, dirt, more training, more sand, more training, train, train, dirt, sand, sweat, my daily life. Memories last a lifetime, hopefully this doesn't.

I need a footbag. Someone send me one already, shit. My last two are dead :x

I've been to Kuwait 2 times, and met so many American marines in the Hilton Club. Do you by any chance go there from time to time? I played footbag a couple of times there so if anybody tells you that they've already seen someone play, they'd be talking about me..

Good luck and be safe!

I R FootBAG

Post by Maraxus »

I can't find my last footblog. I want to make a new one. Starting now. I will do my BEST to try and update it. But being overseas in Kuwait for the third time in two years makes it troublesome for getting online. I'll be on enough in the comming weeks though, I don't have that much going on for me here but to sit on my rack, play psp, and run around in the sand with my flak on. I'll be in touch, peace.


Oh yeah, I've played footbag 9 times in the last four months. I suck so bad right now but I'll release some new videos of old footage from before the deployment if you all will like that. I'm out.

My BLOG, yay!



I can't believe I've had this thing for over two years, not to mention, have been on modified for almost four. I guess I should be alot better at footbag by now considering all the time I've wasted on here. Maybe I just suck though, that would be a good explanation.

Anyway, I've tried uploading my two videos that I made on ship countless times here in Kuwait, but the systems are just too slow to load them to .org. I guess I just won't release them and have to await my next session in the U.S. Only two months worth of waiting right?

I watched the vid of Vaska's Symposium whirr recently. My only reaction is "what the hell". That is so not possible and I have come to the conclusion that he is born from a lab, how do you jump and complete two full dexes with the same leg as he did. I'm not talking 1 1/2 like superfly, but two and land as brilliantly as he did. That's it, I will go practice symp whirr right now without a bag, and I'll film myself landing on my face. Because it's not right. It's just not right.

Well I'm going to conclude this new awesome blog entry now, and rejoin the awesome heat that is outside. The wind is like a god damn blow dryer to my face, it's... just great. Until next time, I'll continue to degress in my footbag skills until I get home. Peace.

Wow, this thing just got dug up from the pits of modified.
Funny... two posts ago it was about keeping it up to date, haha.

Well damn, I've been back for some time and i put out only one vid since. It's mostly because my editing capabilities are back to wmv, and i got so happy with Premier pro that now I need bad ass programs to be happy with editing. Plus I never bring the camcorder to sessions, stupid me.

I hit janiwalker last week, about god damn time. I also hit sunilwalker twice, almost had flip, but no such luck. That move has been tempting me for so long, and now that I've hit it, I want to USE it. Like in every combo, but I must own it first.

Watched the new Penske video, I knew he was really good, but wow, he's really really good. It will be interesting to see how he places at worlds along with David and Jorden. Go NA

I'll be going to worlds if people haven't figured that out yet, it's my four years of service present to myself. I just be pleasantly broke by the end of it but that's okay. Money is only money, worlds is rare... or something like that.

I have four months left in the service... the anticipation is awesome, I don't know what to do but smile.

Thanks for reading this blog, I'll perhaps update it again the future. Perhaps.

Hi Jeremy, hope to see you soon too man, we haven't kicked in over a year, I need some skoolin' old friend! Anyway...


Today I posted as a the security for the court hearings for one of the members of the Haditha Slayings. If you don't know about what I'm talking about either google it or understand that 8 marines are being charged with manslaughter over an incident in Iraq. One of those marines was on trial today, I was one of the military police assigned to ensuring the proceedings went safely. I have a lot of mixed opinions about why and if these proceedings should even take place. We are at war and a majority of what goes on over seas that you don't hear about can be taken in by different light. What I mean by this is that a lot of people believe that these combat action vets are getting shafted because of what they were told to do. Thus the chain of command takes place and holds specialized people accountable for these actions. Commanding officers get relieved, marines go up for court martial, and proceedings take months, perhaps years to reach a conclusion. Should it take place at all? Yes. But my question is, who is to decide? There is no jury in a military court hearing because unlike civilians, we are guilty until proven innocent. Which really sucks, needless to say. So while I stand their helpless listening to accusations and questions upon questions barraged on marines my same rank, I can only hope for the best. I don't want these marines to be sent to the brig for a lifetime or the possibility of death to be brought about them. And although I haven't met them personally besides these court hearings, I know what hell it is like over there and what anguish they have gone through to wear this same uniform (which I am wearing as I write this). IMHO their punishment has already been inflicted. They wait in holding cells for a war crime in which the entire nation knows about and will forever be brought up in their daily life for as long as they shall live. Punishment enough I say, that is no life for an infantry marine.

Played around at Huntington beach today for spectators. Had a few people come by like always and tell me to "keep it up" or that they had never seen that before. Perhaps I shouldn't have played though, my legs get messed up quick but if I take a couple days off I'm fine. I did need to break in my new Fearless 55 bag that I got from Richy though. Looks like Wednesday will be my next big sesh with Damon and Richy, hopefully I can get good enough to compete at worlds with all these sessions. Peace.

Oh yeah, I did like 78 alternating toe kicks while walking through the mall, haha.
