Welcome to the Carlmonteo Shred Crew's official footblog
Our names are Peter, Mudd, and Alex, and we like footbag. All three of us got into cirlce kicking as freshmen in high school. From there, we were anxious to learn tricks. Through online research, we discovered footbag.org and Steve Goldberg. We then began to attend the Stanford University Footbag Club. Steve Goldberg has since taught [and is still teaching] us everything there is to know about footbag, thanks Steve
. He has also introduced us to some cool shredders, especially the Santa Cruz Crew. Without farther ado, here we are:

Due to our love for the sport, you may have also guessed that we like footbags too:

Now to break in the footblog, we had some shred highlights from tonight, which will become our first recorded footbag event ever!
We enjoyed a 2.5 hour session in Peter's garage, which was abruptly ended by the disgusting scent of a nearby skunk.
As for the individual accomplishments...
Mudd:
I enjoyed drilling some guiltless moves, as well as some of my favorite tiltless drills. For a moderate part of the session, I worked on the well known butterfly > pdx. mirage > rpt drill. Over the past few weeks, those tricks have been improving without bound. I also worked on a few of my current favorite moves: spinning clipper and torque. In addition to that, I revisited one of the classic tiltless drills; mirage > legover > rpt, nothing too amazing though, only 20 contacts. I touched briefly with atomic sets, and managed to sucessfully hit tapping. I'm now very tired and will head off to sleep soon to prepare myself for the adventures to come tomorrow.
Peter: Before I injured my foot trying a paradox mirage, I had a few good things:
-Some longer tiltless strings maybe 10-15 contacts.
-Stepping far legover bs.
-Pixie legover midstring, pixie symposium mirage (symposium smear?).
-Also got about 11 contacts of butterfly>far legover> butterfly>bubba rpt.
I'm gonna test out my foot tomorrow and see if its shreddable, but I won't push it because I don't want long term injury.
Alex: As I'm still recovering my WoW(World of Warcraft) addiction, I'm getting back into shred. Just learned flip symposium mirage on thursday so i was focusing on that for a little bit.
