Oh. Too lazy to edit.

I was entered in an art show at school.

I got 2nd in the drawing category.

EDIT: Dangit. Please go back and look at the last page. There's a list of my 3 dex tricks.

No footbag this weekend. :\

I hope Cody didn't get too much better.

Dimwalk>Pdx Mirage rpt 5 contacts.

Footed flip reverse whirling swirl

I'm sweating like a fucking pig.

I'm making a minimini bag.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 07 May 2007 18:19

Finished the minimini bag. I call it Micro Miley v1.0

It's like, 1/3 the size of a golf ball and still playable. I gotta break it in, if Danny doesn't want it.

Props on Footing Reverse Whirling Swirl. Such a sick looking move.

Soon.

And I've hit it, but I footed it flipside, Alan.

Played today.
Did ok.

I think my AP Art concentration next year is going to be the motions of footbag (it has to be specific). So I'd like to get some sweet pictures from everybody if possible. I'm thinking something along the lines of black and white character, blurry colored legs/feet/footbag.

What do you think?

Here's the vid.

A lot of stuff got cut off (after the doubles section, that's pixie symp whirl, and sidewalk>ripwalk>dyno is actually dimwalk>sidewalk>ripwalk>dyno, The first move in the toe section is frantic legover). I'm not happy with it.

Another part should be up soon. It'll also be on fizzied soon, if it works.

I'm waiting for a massive critique from Henry since he kept bothering me about the video.

Hehe.

I just now noticed those clipper bails I keep doing after osis. I gotta stop it. I'll replace it with infinity and rev whirl. I'm also still really one-sided although I'm getting way better. I'm actually better than what's in that video, and it's only a week ago. Funky. I hate time.

This Micro Miley bag is actually kinda good. I think I'll send it to Danny after I wash it. Maybe make him a 12 panel to go along with it, since it may not be very durable.

Band Concert tonight (last for me, ever!). I hope it goes fast.

Hey Zac, finally got that video out.

Here's my comments :

You have some nice tricks keep practicing them, I liked the run with pixie symp whirling rake and pixie paradon or something like this, don't remember. The main problem is as you said your osis bailed to clipper and the consecutive ss clipper. I really don't like seeing 2 or 3 consecutives ss clipper in your string I think your more advanced than that. If your in a bad position I suggest just bailing to ss pick-up or legover or near mirage. If your okay you can go into a pdx moves which I think are really nice looking after an osis. Liked few combos like pixie whirl > ripwalk. I'd say try to have a little more diversity about your flip game. It isn't so bad but most of the time when you we're going on your flip clipper your bailing in osis. Try to put some pdx in there. Liked your pixie shuffle, looks very good.

About cody, well, most of what need to be said, been said. Really borring to watch so one-sided string IMO. Good overall control and some nice tricks but you need to work your basics I think, most of the hard tricks were thin or uncontrolled. Apart of that, I'd say try to take out those atomic op toe ( no it's not an illusion ) from your game. Nice whirr but I think you have to do a more circular motion, it looks a little break up. Do more whirl before trying those too much. Still a very hard move either way, props. Nice juggling on the uni, really impressive.

Thanks guys.

I really appreciate the critique Mathieu! I'll try and get pdx mirage out of infinity and shiz instead of bailing to osis.

Next vid (when school starts, probably, 2.5 months) will have a TON more flip stuff. I promise. If it doesn't I will quit playing footbag for my whole life.

Your flip looked better than your saying, just have to work on diversity!

And by then we should have met (worlds yiihaa!) so I hope to see a little more flip this summer!!

Post by **Zac Miley** » 09 May 2007 18:54

OH YEAh.

Worlds.

There's a tournament June 2nd that's less than 100 miles away (in Wichita). I love it.

Time to take the role of Setman

Zac-
Pixies are pretty good. Maybe a bit toey, and flicky, but over all they were alright.
Double downs-really seemed clean most of the time, pretty cool that you can throw pixie paradon easily.
Much better form than i thought you had on most tricks. Upright, you know what i mean.

Almost all of the whirls in the video were the. Either you caught them while you were still dexing upwards or you completely missed the dex. At least two times, while trying a pdx whirl (right leg dex) you didnt even dex it.

Illusions were also a bit sketchy most of the time.

No spinning or ducking? Learn it!

You are better than i thought Zac, nice!

And... cody, weird editing. i was hoping that song was a joke. The 2nd one. And it kept going. Its a video of two shirtless guys, with that song over it?

Post by **Zac Miley** » 10 May 2007 13:12

Thanks a ton for teh critiques Henry, different from what most people said (which is great)!

That was definitely not Setman quality though.

HG · Post by HG » 10 May 2007 13:15

also. as you know, whenever you did an osis i KNEW that ss clipper>ss mirage was coming up

Post by **Zac Miley** » 10 May 2007 13:19

I think one time I did ss Clipper>reverse whirl. Pwnt.

I'm just kidding. I WILL fix that!
