taking it easy and shredded a little today, knee is starting to feel better. Im going to take a couple more days off then try again, it didnt hurt during shred or after but im just going to be very careful.
hit some stuff that i would like to brag about
Highlights (1 hour laid-back session):
was practicing hitting dragons on different locations of the foot and hit: ss dragon 3 times first time on heel, then in middle of foot, then on the side of the toe bs
dragon > op dragon > dragonosis > rpt
dragon zooming (dooming?) ss dragon > op dragon > rpt > to some other stuff
dragon zooming ss rev whirling dragon bs
pendulous legover 5x bs (in socks)
pendulous mirage bsos in shoes
flipwalk > catch > other side flipwalk > catch to end the session (lol)

A little over 3 hours session:
- my knee doesnt hurt
- symp rev whirling rake bsos
- flails all over the place bsos quite a few times
- atomsmasher bsos

- quite a few runs of over 20 contacts
- dragon > barrage (downtime) bsos first try
- rev whirling dragon bsos a couple times
- pdx flail bsos
- flip pixie pteradon
- clipper bsos ! surprise
- probably some things forgotten

highlights on solo session:
- rev whirling dragon > dragonosis > far legover > rpt
-pixie dragonosis > pdx illusion > PLO > rpt
- toe blur bsos
-flipwalk > dragonosis midstring on bs (some of the smoothest flipwalks ive hit)
- rev whirling dragon twice on bs on same string
-dragon > reverse walkover > walkover bs (heh)
- dragonosis > flipwalk bs
-dragonosis > far dragonosis > rpt

good session, i guess
- ducking dragonosis bsos
- parkwalk dragon bs
- pteradon bsos
- some little string of 30ish contacts maybe more
- fairy ducking dragon
- some nice flipwalks
- gyro flipwalk a few times and almost bs footed flip so many times
- gyro dlo bs from dragon set
- footed dragon surging op dragonosis or dragon set crispy mobius dragon bs
- had a nice discussion about the possiblity of hitting gyro alpine flipwalk and kind of got close to gyro flurry from dragon set and almost got flurry from dragon, it just needs some time
got some needs: ducking firefly and downtime dragon torque need to be hit and i need more control over fireflys with more consistancy of hitting them out of sets
- 2 very nice injuries!
one was just a pull of my butt muscle, hurts a little
second is major one, this is how it went down:
i needed to hit levitating set so i try many many times, and on the last try obviously, i manage to land on my foot while it is sideways.
Imagine doing clipper with left leg and now bring it back a couple inches so it is just behind support leg and now bring it towards your left without bringing it forward and now imagine falling on it and it making a nice nasty popping noise and some pain in your ankle. i was leaning forward when i landed on it making it worse. The other foot was in the air as all weight was put on that leg.
Hopefully this wont put me out for too long because this friday i dont work! First friday since i started work in november that i dont work a friday, exciting, so now i can kick on friday with people that arent imaginary for more than once this week.
popped some ibuprofen, what a great drug
now its sleepy time

Do you have a camera or anything? Can you borrow one from one of the UMO guys?what? people read this blog?
i will make a video of these moves once i heal and once i get a camera from my girlfriend. Only problem is the camera thinks its the cookie monster and the batteries are cookies. Also finals coming up very quickly, i will pump a vid out in less than a month from now, i promise.
Ive got a few good moves i want to hit for the camera. Oh and i ducked my dragon surging on bs by the way, maybe dragon surging ducking dragonosis? definitely worth a try, feels doable.
My ankle currently hurts when pressure is applied, but the good thing is that there is no bruising and almost no swelling, should be healed within 3 days hopefully. The bad thing is that i have 300 questions to do in less than an hour and all i know is they are over something in microbiology, viruses maybe..
time to bust out huge homework drills, 45 mins left

Today has been such a bleh day, i cant seem to get my brain working... anyway my ankle felt better so i decided to kick it, but by the end of the session my ankle was bothering so i guess ill take it easy for the next week and not kick. I noticed on my hurt ankle the dragon crank was almost nonexistant but whatever, it somehow still stalled.
Still managed to hit some goodies:
- dragon set far symp rev whirling dragon bs
- dragon set far symp rev whirling rake bs first tries, weird
- snapdragoning toe bs
- barrage set from dragon to a ground stall bs (the set was extremely low but i got the dexes and with some drilling ill heighten it)
- hit dragon torque downtime on bs from dragon set
- toe set paradon dragonosis bs made me happy (demotion sounds like a good name to me)
- almost dyno dragon bsos second one didnt go straight up *shrug*
- alpine PLO bs
Noticed my dragon game is mostly dragonosis and dragon which i guess is fine. i got some goals i want to hit by the end of summer: dragon stepping spitfirefly (actually got close to this a couple times), and rev dragonstein which i tried today and didnt happen, nemesis starting and ending on dragon (what a dream) and just working with fireflys since mine blow the big kahuna
As for the vid, i will be filming myself next weekend if i have time since finals are coming up and are going to aggitate my footbag playing.

Just was thinking that this injury completes the triad of leg injuries for me: first was hip then knees and now ankle and my back was hurt sometime in the middle.
This summer i am going to be devoted to taking dragons to the next level which is guiltless and minimize just regular dragon stalls by upping to 3 adders and working on weeding out those pesky 2 add toe moves that i am fond of such as far legover and the like. Regular 'bops' for me with dragons will be: dragonosis (which is solid), pdx illusion (a little less solid) and either firefly / rev whirling dragons (which both have their advantages, but my rev whirl dragon are more consistent and more downtime). I will take a look at spitfires/snapdragons since Schneider said they were essential in his game.
I would like to have the downtime concepts: dragon torque, dragster, dyno dragon and spinning/ducking easy enough to throw them in strings. I would like the barrage set to be consistent from dragon of course by the end of summer.
These goals i will check up on the time the summer ends.
oh forgot i footed fusion dragon a couple sessions ago, ill hit it friday
im going to acquire a camera this weekend, but i dont think ill be able to film till after tuesday which is when i have my last final.

school is finished, its 78 outside and my ankle is uncomfortable around a bag.
you know how when your going down stairs you sometimes miss a stair and it catches your heel? Yeah i managed to do that and rolled my ankle again. Just when it was feeling better.
I managed to play a little before that and hit some stuff, all these in socks:
- alpine smudge bs
- FLO x6
- dragon > pdx illusion > 6 contacts (i could hit more with shoes)
- dragon > far legover > FLO > rpt
I made that profile pic with paint, thought it was cool
another week for healing... boo

so its been a while since ive footbagged and i tried today. If you didnt know i pulled my hip, probably from too many eggbeaters/dlos about a week ago. I tested it out for a brief 20ish mins, it was 92 outside today, and a couple nights ago it was below freezing... go figure. My hip feels fine just want a full recovery before i go out and hurt myself again so this weekend no footbag.
Brief highlights of today:
- pdx eggbeater bs from dragon set
- dlo > eggbeater > plo > rpt
- dragon > snapdragoning pickup bs
going to start filming next week somewhere around work and school.
