Tweaked flip Clipper again; it feels better and better each time. I'm quite pleased.
I just tried a few drills tonight. Blurry Whirl>Blur>Legbeater (Rpt.) was one of them. I always started with flip Whirl>Step, but my body isn't over the bag when I start the step. I need to fix that.
I also got Symp. Whirl>Blur BS. Fairly easy, but getting it flip was really cool.
Osis>Spinning Clipper>Stepping Mirage (Rpt.). Fun drill.
Ended with Rubberman>Blur>Atomsmasher>Drop, starting from the other side I hit it first on. That was only my second try and it was super easy. I definately need to keep doing that one.

I could only play for a short amount of time because dinner was ready. I still had some good stuff though.
I tried Rubberman for a bit, starting from the other side that I hit it yesterday, but I had trouble linking anything. Flip Clipper does feel good though.
I tried Symp. Whirling Ripstein, and it seems really easy; just set it higher and continue the Swirl. I got maybe 1.5 of the Swirl dexes. I'll try that one some more.
A really easy Fury. I think I improved my Furious sets significantly, and I did some flip and got some good Janiwalkers.
I really need to drill my flip Whirl; it's no good I tell you!

Very good form session. I think my flip Clipper is almost as good as my strong now! I did a whole bunch of Swirls and Stepping Clippers on that side, making sure to keep me balance and body over the bag at all times. I think it's really helping.
My Nuclear is also getting to be very good. I hit some nice Sumo's throughout the session, both sides of course. I need to add more of a sideways hop to my flip side, but I can still get some good sets out of it.
I ended trying Rubberman from the same side (Starts with flip Blur), but I could only manage 4 contacts. I did get my toe on the bag, but it slipped off for the final Legbeater. It is a big step up from last night where I could only get 1 or 2 contacts.
Luckily baseball was cancelled tonight, or I wouldn't have been able to play. I think this will be my final year with baseball (Been playing since I was 5, 16 now.). I really don't have as much fun as I need to in order to continue playing. I'm not really good anymore since I stopped focusing on it a few years ago, and I just find myself wanting to be playing Footbag rather than at the field.

Another excellent session. Flip Clipper is still good. I think I need to be more on my toes for it, it makes sets easier, but that's obvious.
My Nuclear is getting more and more consistent. It's a cool set, and I think I'll be able to hit Rubberman II eventually.
At the end of the session I decided that I should try out my Furious. Strong side is now very good and consistent. I hardly dropped any Janiwalkers, and I even got another Fury. Flip is getting a lot better as well. It's got more Symp. motion to it, and is more reliable. I also hit some new Fearless links using it:
Janiwalker>Blurry Whirl BS
Janiwalker>Pdx. Blender BS (went for a Pdx. Torque in one of them, but I hit the bag on the dex.)
Matador>Furious set
. I hate those smiley things, but I think this actually deserves one. I've hit very few things out of Matador and to get a Furious set out of it first try was amazing.
Ended with Ripwalk>Janiwalker BS. I'm comin' for you Will!

That's the 3rd excellent session in a row that I've been having. It's so great. I hope there won't be a big drought in progress next week to balance this awesome week out.
Blur>Legbeater>Ripwalk (Rpt.) mid-string, almost by accident.
Rubberman for the 3rd time. 2nd try.
Symp. Whirling Swirl flip a lot
Symp. Whirling Swirl BSOS
Scorpian's Tail (my first clean one I believe.)
Barfly BS. Flip is really weird, but I think it's clean.
Tomahawk BS. I had a Ducking revelation on the bus home from school; had to try it.
Pdx. Whirl>Symp. Whirl. Close to flipside. I need to fix Pdx. Whirl on that side, and even my Infinity.
Ended on a very good note: Matador>Ripwalk (Rpt.). Footed about 3 times before I got it. In order to get the last Ripwalk I basically had to walk half way across the room because the bag was set weird. Whatever, got it, super awesome.

Footbag is bringing me the most joy in my life right now. I'm on the verge of hating baseball, I hardly golf anymore, and I'm really stressed out about school since finals/regents are next week. Unfortunately I can't shred all the time.
Played a bit more after dinner.
Spender BS pretty easily.
'The' Blurriest BS.
I'm finding that Spinning Ducking is very easy now that I have a good Spinning set. I tried Montage for a bit, but not planting with the spin throws me off balance. Maybe Gangster Party. I should work Tomahawks before seriously trying those again.
Really itching to shred with Will. Hopefully tomorrow. I hope the Saratoga jam goes down so I can meet some of my idols and actually go to a tournement.

4th great session in a row. This is so awesome. Only played for an hour because I have a baseball game tonight.
I started off doing strings. None of which were very intense. I think I figured out Flip Pixie which has been giving me heaps of trouble. I basically don't do Pixie because my strong is only OK, and my flip is bad. Now I can change that.
Bettered the way I do Quantum on one side, more like Symp. Quantum to start, and did Toe Blur B2B both sides. Footed second side about 5 times.
Tried to get Blurry Whirl>Blur>Legbeater (Rpt.) to end the session. I got it halfway a couple of times, and even got the 2nd Blurry Whirl once, but it just didn't come together. Flip Whirl>Step was so much easier. Slowed down the motion for Stepping on that side, and I think I made my body position better for landing Whirls as well.
Couldn't get that so I decided to try Flip Blurry Whirl>Blurry Whirl since I was getting such smooth Steps out of them. Indeed I did get it, and even Blurry Calf kick at the end. Next session I will see how many of those I can get. Definately more than 2.

Played at lunch today for about 30 minutes. It was really hot. I can't imagine how those dudes in Nevada feel this time of year.
Sealed a Double Blender in only a few tries! It had a nice Symp. Whirl motion to start it. I got close to flip, but it wasn't set high enough. I also warmed up with Symp. Whirling Swirl BS, which is cool that it's becoming so easy.
Tried Symp. Whirling Ripstein about 5 times. I got a pretty explosive set, but I nicked the bag on the first dex each time. Having baggy shorts on didn't help either.
Baseball game this afternoon, so probably no more footbag for today.

Will and I played at his horse farm this afternoon. I had fun, but it was way too hot and the session got cut short.
Will was amazing, naturally:
-Janiwalker>Fury>Legbeater (Rpt.), on my request. He said it was one of the best drills he's ever hit.
-7 Ripped Warriors. 1 from his record, still.
-Whirring Swirl
-Genesis BS
-Janiwalker + Sunilwalk BSOS. He dropped on the first Fury.
-Delusion
-Blurry Flux
-Janiwalker>Whirr>Blurry Torque
-Whirr>Ripped Warrior (Rpt.). I think that was it. May have been Alpine Blurry Whirl, can't remember.
-Pdx. Whirr. Highlight of the session. Looked really clean, and super controlled.
I had some cool things:
-Toe Blur>Toe Blur
-Fury, twice. Missed the Butterfly somehow.
-Double Blender again. Got flip, but the bag hit me on the way up.
-Symp. Whirling Swirl BSOS
-Blurry Whirl>Blurry Whirl (Flip Whirl>Step).
-Blurry Whirl>Symp. Whirling Swirl
-Symp. Whirl>Ripwalk (Rpt.)
-Pdx. Blender>Pdx. Torque
-Matador>Janiwalker
-A clean Whirr on strong. Flip wasn't a high enough set.
-A few attempts at Ripped Warrior BS. Not quite high enough to duck, but getting there.
-Some 555, but I can't remember what it was.
Good session. Would have rather played somewhere air condition so we would have had more energy, but it was still cool. The best thing for me from today is an improvement in my Furious sets. Will gave me a tip, which was to really jump off of the set. I proceeded to hit a perfect Fury first try, I guess it works.

Good multi-part session. I have no clue what I did specifically, but it was mostly strings. Did a few Pdx. DLOs, which I definately need to work on. I remember a few notable things:
-Spinning Clipper>Symp. Whirling Swirl BS
-Fury, 2nd try. I thought that was supposed to be hard.
-Nice controlled Sumo's on each side.
-A pretty clean Whirr. Flip will need work.
-Some Janiwalkers. Flip is good, Strong is good.
-Blurry Whirl>Blurry Whirl
Tried Rubberman at the end, but I couldn't get it.
Ended with Stepping Mirage>Legbeater (Rpt.). A bit harder than it should have been.
I also worked on my flip Clipper position some more. I think my strong is better from stuff I did when I hacked on that one side, like Inside Stalls only with that foot, and Sole stalls on that side. I need to take a session or two and do stuff like that to get my body better balanced, and more control with my delay.
I think I need to do some good Tripless drills and even some Fearless drills. I can probably get Spinning Whirl>Blurry Whirl (Rpt.) given enough time, and something like Pdx. DLO>Dimwalk (Rpt.) or DLO>Legbeater (Rpt.) to drill those guys.
Last day of school is Tuesday, and last regents/final is next Wednesday. Insane amount of footbag is imminent.

I had two sessions today, but I don't remember anything from the first one, so I won't try to post stuff from that.
The second one I drilled Near/Pdx. DLO's, and I also got some other stuff.
-DLO>Legbeater>DLO>Dropped Atomic. I got that far on the other side as well.
-Spinning Osis>Pdx. Blender BS
-Lots of Pdx. DLOs
-Pdx. DLO BSOS (Pdx. DLO>Clipper>Spinning Clipper>Pdx. DLO>Butterfly>Ripwalk>Janiwalker)
Last day of school tomorrow. I get to finish it off with a Math final, so I'm not as pumped as I should be, but hopefully I get to play with Will after school, so it should be good.

3 hour session with Will today, so I hardly remember anything.
There were 4 drills that I remember hitting that were cool:
-DLO>Legbeater (Rpt.)
-Pdx. DLO>Dimwalk (Rpt.)
-Blur>Legbeater>Ripwalk (Rpt.), old.
-Pixie Whirl>Blur (Rpt.)
-Close to Pdx. Whirl>Spinning Whirl (Rpt.). 3 contacts.
-One Fog per side.
-Pdx. Whirl>Pdx. DLO, both sides.
-Almost BSOS Food Processer. Missed the Step on the 2nd one, but I got it directly after.
-Close to Tripwalk>Stepping Mirage (Rpt.). I'll get that soon.
-Close to Matador>Ripwalk (Rpt.)
-In-Spinning Clipper BS. Osis>
-A few Spinning Blenders. Strong is easy.
Will was playing really well for about 2 hours. I don't remember too much of what he hit, but I'll try:
-Genesis>Whirr>Blurry Torque
-BS Spikehammer, in preperation for BS Gauntlet.
-Like, 7 Fearless three or four times easy.
-Janiwalker>Fog>Alpine Legbeater (Rpt.). I think, at least. He may have not got the full drill.
-Nearly Genesis>Genesis 3-5 times. He then proceeded to lose his ability to do Janiwalker on one side.
-Nebula in 3 tries. Tried flip, I'm sure he'll get it by next session.
-4.5 contacts of Alpine Rubberman.
-Genesis>Big Apple
-A good try at Stepping In-Gyro Torque first try.
-Footed Gyro Flux.
There was more, probably from each of us, but it's such a blur. 3 hours is a long time to play, and we were both drained for the last hour. Plus the doors got locked to the water fountain. Damn them!

First true session since playing with Will. I've had finals and baseball this week, so time has been short. However, I still played pretty well, and I'm very happy about where my game is and is going.
I just did strings for the first half-hour or so. I don't remember anything, but they were slightly longer than normal. Definately a weak point.
I then drilled for the rest of the session, albeit unsuccesfully, since I didn't hit any. I tried Tripwalk>Stepping Mirage (Rpt.) for quite some time, but I could only get 3 contacts. It's awkward, since I think I do my Quantums less effeciently than possible.
I tried some more, but since I didn't hit any, I won't bother posting. They were mostly ones that I've done before anyway.
Tried to end with Stepping Whirl>Ripwalk (Rpt.). Didn't, but I got the first half, probably 5 times from each side. My Whirl>Step is getting really consistent. Actually, I even stepped out of my weak Spinning Whirl today.
Ended with Spinning Blender BS. Flip was easy, and got it on the 2nd try. Strong was difficult for some reason. That took about 10 tries, but it was still good when I got it.

props guys! keep being motivating! there are a lot of inhuman stuff and sweet combos and tricks, so don't stop having fun and please make videos!!!

Sweet session. I was feeling kinda down after last session after I video'd a bit of myself and thought my style sucked ass, but after talking with Henry G a bit, I came to my senses, cared less and, in turn, played great today. Actually, I took video of one trick, and it looked cool, so I'm super happy.
I did strings for about 30 minutes, which actually went quite well. I feel that I'm getting a lot more creative since I have more sets and downtime to choose from, and am having more fun. Some were pretty long, and during one I had a nice shuffle break, maybe 7 contacts. Having a reliable flip Pixie helps loads.
I got a couple Janiwalkers on both sides, even without drilling it I still can get it. Just doing Symp. Whirls helps loads. Also got Sumo first try on both sides. Really nice flip set. Slowed it down so it's Set>Dex; not slurred into one.
Went to some drills for 15-20 minutes. Didn't try any new ones, but got some oldies but goodies:
-Blur>Legbeater>Ripwalk (Rpt.); one of my favorite drills. I should do that to warm up and end every session.
-Pixie Whirl>Blur (Rpt.); for the second time. Stepping out of Whirl is hella easy, and Pixie makes so much more sense.
Double downs are coming around. I actually got a few flip Paradon's without smacking my leg and landing off balance; always a good sign.
I made my Spinning faster, and wanted to see if I could get a Scorpian's Tail around, and after a few tries I went to video, where it was confirmed clean. The best one I've done yet. I also got Flip, but it was 'the'. Close, but not there.
Also when I played earlier today I hit Mobius BS pretty easy. My Torques are pretty good for not doing them ever. Playing Drill HORSE with Mike Toolan on Sunday (which is an awesome game), I hit Torque>Infinity (Rpt.) for the first time on my first try.
Not caring too much about style made this session awesome. I hope I can keep up the same attitude for the next few months. Last exam (Chemistry; easy) is tomorrow, and baseball ends early July. I'm almost all footbag, and with Worlds confirmed, this is looking like a sweet summer.
Oh, also, who actually reads this? I'm curious if I'm the only one, but I've got 10+ views for every post; I know I don't look at this 13 times every time I make a new post....
