not a bad session!

my string length was AWFUL but i hit a few nice things:
ducking clip>ducking clip>flip blender
whirl>whirl>pdx whirl>rpt
spinning osis>flip pdx blender (2nd time)
tomahawk first try (i've hit it probably 2 dozen times but first try is always nice)
bigwalk>ps whirl (missed the handcatch, but i feel like i have a good excuse)

pdx blender>zooming clipper>spender

since when was flip food even possible, nevermind easy? i hit it like 5 times this session, almost bsos too many times. my finger feels kind of weird when i play and hurts if i get too active.

dont have much to say. life is kind of weird right now. good but odd. i need a job. cast comes off for the surgery monday...im actually looking forward to it.

cant wait to feel like im actually playing footbag again.

what a freakin ill session. highlights:

pdx blender bsos
food processor bsos!
slapping mirage first try
fog>egg
butterfly reverse swirl>ps whirl
pdx drifter>pdx blender a few times
nice longer strings, finally felt natural
a real clean surge>butter>blurry whirl>infinity>food>butter>pdx blender
it sucks i finally feel like im getting my game back but now im going to have to take the next at least week off.

butterfly reverse swirl is such a pimp trick

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 20 May 2007 10:41

haha yeah, way to pick out MY favorite highlight from that list. i tried sumo>butterfly reverse swirl>ps whirl a couple times. i'll get it when im all healed up

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 20 May 2007 15:11

i forgot, i managed to finally make some sense of whirling, a set that seemed impossible before. i hit whirling far legover. and barefoot i hit sailing far legover. i think. like two days ago.
new boston footbagger registered on footbag.org. thanks to iron nads for the heads up, i emailed him the very day he registered (yesterday) with a greeting, info about the current scene in boston, and links to boston footbag myspace and my video from last fall. i really need to make a new one...
my parents are buying me the blue and red LA dodgers g units for my birthday. tried to order em last night but espnshopdotcom was being lame.
the countdown to when i can start playing again is on. im shooting for...say june 5th to be safe...but we'll see how i feel.
bean. town.

I love getting new shoes

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 25 May 2007 13:17

im in an incredible mood.
my finger feels really good
i skipped school today only to find out it was canceled.
i watched the blues brothers earlier.
im spending all day with the girlfriend tomorrow (including a 3 hour movie neither of us has any interest in-i wonder what we'll do with all that time)
its like 95 degrees out and i tanned for awhile drinking A&W
started my laundry
tried a few single moves and links barefoot, first time i've stalled a bag since last monday's surgery and it felt incredible. for some reason everything just felt like it was clicking, and my legs feel really strong. my flip pixie felt easy, and i hit

surge>pixie whirl barefoot and the surge was super clean
footed flip ps whirl a bunch, footed e-walk like 3 times, and footed atomic far dlo a few times.
im graduating in 6 days...i have 3 more days of school for the rest of my life
right when im finally all healed up i will have a brand new pair of beeeautiful red and blue size 10 g units coming my way and i cant wait.

everything is excellent!

hope things are as good in modified-land as they are in beantown

you lucky bastard!!!!!!

thats so freakin lucky you have no idea. i wish that would happen to me everyday, lol.

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 26 May 2007 06:10

yeah its actually not quite as good as it sounds, or basically as good as i agree it would have been in high school, but missing a day or so in locksmithing school, where the average student age is definitely over 30, isnt actually a big deal at all. especially exactly one week before graduation.
which brings me to my next point, i have three (3) days of school left for the rest of my life. ill.
also cool im setting up a session with this newish crew in boston that just registered on footbag.org (thanks to iron nad ben for the heads up). at least one of them have lavers, and they're an older crew (the person i first contacted and have been emailing back and forth is 27) and im really looking forward to kicking with them.
actually, im just looking forward to kicking at all!! i havent strapped on my units in literally a week and im starting to go footbag crazy, especially since for some reason i feel really good about playing, like when i tried a few things barefoot not only did nothing hurt at all, i felt really comfortable and confident with the bag, like i could do anything. flip pixie was on (i hit like 8 contacts of PLO back to back, thats like double my record) and barefoot surging felt clean AND easy.
as soon as i get shoes on i want to hit surge>reactor and e-walk, which i footed a few times barefoot. surge>e-walk would be way too sick.
i'll probably put my units on for the first time either tonight or tomorrow.
as long as i dont sweat in the cast i'd say im ready for it.
anyway, i have to do some stuff before i head out to chill with the girl all day. stoked.
peace out fizzled,

yeah, yesterday kicked ass.
in other news:

turns out that:

i, last post, wrote:also cool im setting up a session with this newish crew in boston that just registered on footbag.org (thanks to iron nad ben for the heads up). at least one of them have lavers, and they're an older crew (the person i first contacted and have been emailing back and forth is 27) and im really looking forward to kicking with them.

is even better than i thought. there's 3 of them, all three have lavers, and are like tiltless, and get this:

his website wrote:since moving back to his home of Boston, MA in 2004 and accepting a position at the 5th largest NBC news station as a news VIDEOGRAPHER anyone else thinking what im thinking? Kevin has recieved...

and it goes on to talk about a few awards this dude has gotten.
im kicking with him and his guys tuesday. boston is definitely going to be pumping out vids this summer.
also because i just found out another local bagger is fucking sitting on a top of the line HD camera!! i told that dude next time he can kick anyday, anytime let me know and i would come to him and we can kick and film. STOKED!
speaking of kicking, i still have the cast on but my hand feels good and solid so im definitely kicking today for the first time since my surgery (ok, its been exactly one week, but thats huge for me) and i should have the cast off wednesday. i would type more, cuz i have more to say but typing in this cast is a BITCH.
peace love n chicken shit

boston represent

slapdash21 · Post by **slapdash21** » 27 May 2007 09:44

yup, session was sick. aside from a few long solid strings that made me swear under my breath halfway through i also hit whirling infinity 2nd try ever and had spyro whirl roll off my foot 3 times.
give me 3 days and i'll have that consistancy back up...
footbag is ill.

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 28 May 2007 11:19
