Tap>crispy eggbeater>Tapdown>spinning clipper>Far legover>Tapdown

Me and Zac Miley played last night. I have shin splintz pretty bad now so i was trying to take it pretty easy and not do much in the way of like atomic set stuff. although i did do the string above along with some more atomic like atomic diving clipper. Tried to practice my flipside stuff cause its so bad.

We are going to shred at Radius nightclub on sunday night, the manager there is awesome at footbag, juggling, diabolo, unicycle, ect. and he lets us in free and hooks us up with a light on the dancefloor so we can shred.

Dude, that manager sounds awesome! 8 D That's a great way to showcase Footbag! Make them go "Ohh" and "Ahh"!

Take it easy on those shins though man. They aren't fun.

Bad shin splintz, sucky session after school today. Tommorrow i've got another date with this hot girl. we are going to the park. i'm bringing my unicycle, juggling balls, Diabolo, and most importantly my footbag. Its gonna be interesting, she doesn't even know i really play footbag or anything.

Also Radius was amazing. It got so packed that eventually there was no longer anywhere to play. there were alot of people that were pretty amazed by it though. Zac hit his first 6 add move too! pixie symposium whirling rake. Then i just started dancing with people once it was so crowded, which isn't as fun as playing footbag on the dancefloor, but i did meet that really hot girl, that i had a date with yesterday.

new stuff: alpine tapdown, ripwalk, flailing set ss butterfly and legover. quantum legover, spinning paradox illusion.

I've ducked flailing set a few times, but have you to do a move off it or even catch it on clipper. my goal is to hit alpha alpine tapdown within a couple weeks.

i want to get ripwalk>paradox mirage>legbeater>infinity>spinning clipper> spinning clipper> mirage> and then go for atomsmasher
my atomsmasher isn't really good cause of the flipside mirage, but i'm working on it.

had a 5 hour session saturday, short session sunday, was with my girlfreind monday, and had a 3 hour session tuesday. skipped lunch with zac and played in an empty classroom today. Playing after school for a few hours today too.

i dare you to hit mirage>legover repeat as many times as you can.

and then do far legover>ss clipper repeat as many times as you can

Do that every session. Break your old record every session

well i have legovers down on both sides. although i never use them i remember getting like 19 in a row one time back in like september. mirages are super easy it's the flipside mirage that is a challenge for me though. although i can do it. i can do atomsmasher although the flip side mirage part of it kills my consistancy on the trick. i think all i really need to do is just drill flipside mirage. mostly before i've been practicing my flipside by building it up in big tricks. like i build up my flip butterfly with legbeater, ripwalk, and infinity. i will drill my flipside some though, but just ecause i start working on it doesn't mean its gonna get good overnight....

HG · Post by HG » 04 Apr 2007 19:07

actually it will get good if you work on it, contrary to popular belief

I had a flip only session last night and the night before. however they were both less than an hour so they were barely able to be considered sessions. i drilled flip clippers, paradox mirage (both sides). did somewhat of a flip stepping set although it looks kind of ridiculous... i also just drilled flip mirage.

tonight, legs permitting, i'm gonna work on my quantum legover a little, my DOD a little, drill flip clipper and flip mirage each for a good 15 minutes and i'm also gonna work on my osis (both sides). I'de like to try and get alpine tapdown rake tonight but i don't know if i could go at it enoughcause of my shin splintz.but it's been a few days since i did any real serious shredding so they might be good enough now for me to practice that a while.

I suggest you always doing your pre-shred warm-ups for 5-10 minutes with bothsided drills. That's the way most ppl improve their flip.

A few others than HG gave you :

clipper > ss pick-up > rpt
butterfly > pdx mirage > rpt
clipper > opp clipper > rpt
butterfly > infinity > rpt
mirage > ss mirage > rpt

You can chose like 2 or 3 different everyday to work on and they'll get good in no time! Props on practicing your flip and realizing you need to do it before the gap is even bigger.

yeah, i try and do some of those drills a little. typicially i just shred and do a mixture of drilling something and going for strings.

I hit atomic double legover. first toe to toe triple dex move

also i've been working on flip atomic, it isn't very strong at all yet though, but i've hit a couple things from it. also i got flip sidewalk and almost flip ripwalk.

here is my newest video, its pretty much terrible editing but its kinda cool.

Working on a really sweet video right now with zac miley. it'll be a couple weeks before its up though. we are using a $2000 video camera and like, the best editing software, thanks to my school.

my flip legbeater is getting more consistant. almost got it twice in one string. working on my atom smasher a little too. friday i'm having myself a flip session i think. i had 3 hour sessions 3 days in a row though so i'm taking today off from footbag to be with my girlfreind.

Sacrificing footbag for girlfriends.. psh.

And "the best editing software" is Adobe Premiere for all interested.

NEW STUFF:

alpine tap (never thought to try it before)
whirr (slow moed the video of it and it looks pretty clean)
really really close to clipper set double switchover
i was trying atomic double switchover as well and came fairly close

goals for the week:
1. legbeater bsos
2. whirling legover (i'm at least going to drill it

3. work on my dyno, flip clipper..., double spinning clipper

dudeguyman · Post by **dudeguyman** » 08 May 2007 17:02

session today with zac. I hit a pretty sweet string at the end, although it was super onesided on accident. it had alpine tapdown, 3 spinning clippers, 4 spinning butterflies, osis and some other easy stuff and then infinity at the end. got our new video up on google.

heres the new vid. its pretty sweet.

If this is the same move you did in that video, then its Tapping DLO

You really need to work that flipside

dudeguyman · Post by **dudeguyman** » 09 May 2007 10:46

i have been working infinity>rpt alot lately, although it's coming along slower than i'd like it to. i want to get my atom smasher good so i can use it midstring. i'm also working on my osis, whirls, and dynos because i think they could all be better.

i got wonton legover but its kinda hard and weird. and i have bad form on my whirrs so my knee hurts from doing it, i need to make the second dex bigger than the first i think.[/quote]
