I second that olives in general are gross. And yes blues fest is this weekend.

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 05 Jun 2007 16:32

black olives are gross but if I had a gun to my head I'd eat them

There high in fat too.
Im not sure about blues fest. Lock down says no.
This means I have to drill twice as hard since I might miss it. I also might have to work for my mom all weekend and then I got summer school starting on the 13th.
I have to take gym for summer school. How gay is that.
I ditched it a bunch of times and they droped me from the class so now I have to make it up during the summer. W/e, better then taking two gyms next year. The worst part is yet to come.
My friends birthday is on the 14 and hes having an open house crazy rave dance shindig at his house. Idk whats gonna happen. Bluesfest and Party are so tempting

And Zach, Im gonna land pixie muted clip>gyro legover> plo rpt.

THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH ZACK

That challenge put the last missing piece of the flip gyro puzzle together!

Gyro legover requires a fast clean gyro spin. My strong side gyro did it no problamo but my flipside(left foot) gyro sucked because I never PICKED UP THE SUPPORT LEG. Not picking up or spinning the support leg never allowed me to complete the full spin. Also I figured out I was pulling the hell out of it so I worked on the delay to set spin(if that makes sense). Im so happy. I hope I dont lose it.
Ohhh ya, I landed flip pixie muted clipper> flip gyro muted legover>PLO>rpt.
That challenge ended my session off at a good note(Jordans tip)
Im so happy

EDIT: Keep the challenges coming. I got all summer

pdx whirl > torque > symp whirl > repeat

ducking butter > diving butter > repeat

ducking pdx whirl > diving whirl > repeat

Make it out to bluesfest!

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 06 Jun 2007 18:22

footed last diving whirl with that rpt combo. It suprised me very much that I even came close to that rpt because I dont think Ive done much diving whirl. All I know is diving whirl is so much easier that ducking whirl.
Torque to symp whirl is still a problem so tommorow Ill work on that.
Ducking butter>diving butter was super easy.
Im gonna drill osis to symp whirl tommorow because that link is just pissing me off.

So I kind of started juggling too. We'll see how far that gos.

Ohh ya I alsmost forgot. Im super excited to get more Brian dennis bags. His bags are so nice. I love them because they never turn into flop monsters.
I counted up all the josh raye bags I own and all I have to say is I own more of his bags then any one else's.
Im gonna try to stop at 100 bags. Then Im gonna throw them up in the air and shower myself in them, like a millionaire.

Vitamin water is so good. My favorites are lemonade and the engery one.

PegLegHolly · Post by **PegLegHolly** » 06 Jun 2007 19:28

buy some holly bags

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 07 Jun 2007 16:39

Next bag rampage I have It'll be from you. I promise

I got to save up some money because Im hella broke right now. Im probably gonna save like another $125+ and get at least 5+ bags off of you depending how far I am away from my goal of a 100 32 panels. Then I have to stop. Seriously

We'll today I learned the biggest footbag lesson a footbagger could learn.
Style before difficulty. I dont think Im gonna go any further up the add chain until Im satisfied with my style. I want my style to become cleaner than a dishwasher. So far flip gyro is coming around better and better every day. I bsosed vortex first try today, both done midstring.
The last concept I think Im gonna learn is swirl. No matter what I try I cant make them clean. THere so "the". I know its because I cant set it straight and low or somehting like that.

Today I hit paradon>barrage>paradon>flip barfly> spinning osis. I tried to do plastic man but ended up bailing.
Im not sure If Im gonna go to blues fest tommorow. I might have to go work with my mom and supervise the cleaning people at a couple comcast buildings. I need the money to get the footbags. Theres still a small chance I might go to bluesfest though.
Thats right, my mom is the leader of the notorious building, polish, cleaning service. Shes king of the polish cleaning ladies

What a fulfiled steriotype

How quickly do your bags get played out after you start?

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 07 Jun 2007 18:25

I usually play with them till they start getting holes in them.

My bags never die. I usually switch up between a bunch of broken in bags. And once I see big holes I glue'em up and move on to the next best bag.

Right now I've been hand breaking in alot of the bags just because It prevents me from biting my nails. Now I think I have knuckle problems from doing it so much.

At least I have nails to open cans and shit. There thin as hell but they do the job.

Im really looking foward to ditching my mom but that would be an asshole move. We'll see what happens.

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 07 Jun 2007 18:48

nice. 100 is a good number to stop at.... for a while.

i should heed your message of style.

so can you gyro step?

good luck the the cash flow.

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 07 Jun 2007 20:26

maybe a 100 is too many bags. I dont know. We'll see what happens. A 100 will be my max out.
Well ya I can surge but Im one sided so I dont try it very much.

My rule is my flip has to get just as much care as my strong when I start a new set. So far its worked for quantum, nuclear, shooting, and frantic.

I rarly even try those sets though because I know Im not ready for them yet.

And I hope that cash flow keeping streaming through. As long as I keep working for my mom, the money will keep coming along. I think Im gonna do work for my dad too.

So far the footbag lockdown has reached about 2 weeks. My friends think Im avoiding them or something. I told them they could visit me anytime at my house. So far only few have come because they some of them think I dont want to see them. I tell them footbag, they think its an exuse.
I dont think they know how much I love it.

W/e I dont feel like typing anymore. Its only more to read.

thats sad. you should find more footbag friends. or friends that like footbag. most people wont understand... but true friends admire it.

dont think im trying to force you to spend your money on footbags. imo you should wait for worlds to buy anymore... that way you have money to buy bags from foreigners. and youll be able to pick yours out in person.

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 08 Jun 2007 10:15

Ohh ya I seriously forgot Europeans made footbags.
I dont think theres one Euro bag in my whole collection. I got some canadian bags.
We'll what'eva
Today Im gonna drill everything whirl

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 09 Jun 2007 20:09

ohhh ya (kool-aid voice)

Im so happy with the way that bag looks.
Thanks Brian.

We'll blues fest was the shit today. Toms got style and consistency(ripped warrior mid-string I think), Josh raye is getting some clean strings in(rubberman), and Jakes illusions/eggbeaters(so clean) make me jealous, and Jon seems to be getting back his groove.

I really love most of the drunks at blues fest but some of the guys there are crazy.

Some guy out of nowhere asks us to watch his kid as he gos into a giant crowd of people to find his shit.
So this kids loud and hyper or someshit and were're shredding and shit trying to watch this kid.
This nice other stranger lady told us she would watch the kid.
So we think the stranger lady is watching the kid the whole time but since the kids dad took so long she ended up leaving and no one was watching the kid(i think).
So the dad comes back and takes his kid and gives him some box with a greatful dead skull on it(wonder what was inside).

What a bad dad. We could have just run off with his kid or something. Footbaggers aren't like that though, right?

Also drunk people on the train home caused a bunch of trouble. Security at to be called like 3 times for drunken fights/yelling/puking.

Once guy got chased off the train but he jumped back over the fence and got back on some how.

He ran inside and sat right next to me. We talked and he told me he was drunk and tried using a fake ID after one the security gaurds asked him if he was 21 because he was drunk and had a bunch of beer on him.
It was free entertainment.

So first try I hit ripped warriour>blurry whirl>pdx torque with a seal included.

That felt good.
I also hit blurry whirl>gyro pickup> short run
I hit DATW>terrage>paradon>barrage>paradon> butterfly> flip barrage>run

First try I hit merlin and then I hit it flipside first try, for the first time.
Frantic set is hard and I think I lost my nuclear set for the cost of flip quantum.

My strings in the beginning of the shred were sweet but then over time after time of switching shred spots I sucked. I guess I need to work on endurance or something.

I cant wait for taste of chicago.

Zjeezy · Post by **Zjeezy** » 10 Jun 2007 07:50

Theres a good chance I will be down for taste.

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 11 Jun 2007 12:45

I wish I coulda kicked with you more that day, but I can't do 5 person circles much, and I don't want to make it 5 for others too. I'm sure we'll have at least 6 for taste. Nice frantic set.

Oh I met this guy Tony on IM. He knows ya'll (his cousin used to date Jeff). he's on modified too, but I don't think he's posted anything yet.

ObArA'BaRs · Post by **ObArA'BaRs** » 13 Jun 2007 13:36

THanks Tom.
I cant wait to tell Jeff.
I think Jeff was the one that let him know about modified(maybe?).
He sounds really familiar
