Trust me its totally worth it.
Plus its like the best show off move, ever.
thanks, I was actually tryiong to hit flapper on flip side last night, its going to be harder to hit I think because my clipper all messed up on that side since the crooked foot thing but I'm going to figure out.

but that sounds kool flapper to flapper and stuff i'm, going to half to do those.

So today before work I was just kicking my footbag up and down the sidewalk and a lady who was sitting outside the coffee shop said nice footwork and I said thank you. Then I said you want to see some tricks, she replied yes. So I did some 2-4 add moves that I knew I could hit and she was like that’s great. Then she said if I wanted to theirs going to be a festival tomorrow in the town (Bluffton, Ohio) and she’s running the stage and she would like me to do a footbag demonstration to the community. So tomorrow I get to get on a stage and play footbag and promote footbag to the people of Bluffton.

work, fun, and footbag

Post by hackmasterkyle »

so the festival was fun I played footbag for about 20 minuites on the stage while they played music behind me. I gave a breif introduction to the sport and information on where they could go and learn more about footbag.

I've been working alot lately, we started doorhanging last week so i've been walking around 15 miles hanging up coupons on peoples doors. it sucks because my feet hurt really bad afterwards and I don't feel like playing footbag afterwards but I guess its making my legs and feet stronger, i'm getting free excersice and I'm geting paid to do it.

so I hit my 1st ever

You were doing all that stuff with a Vans Hackysack? For serious?

Oh man, you are gonna looooooooove the Mr. Sandbag dude. It's gonna make things A LOT easier too. You are in for a treat.

Glad to hear you are still playing.

Diving flapper sounds tight. Get it on video and submit for the online comps!! Or something at least, enter the online comps!

Yes I've been playing with a vans hacky sack! I can't wait to get the mr. sandbag I'm sure my game will improve. I entered the online comps a few days ago so you'll be able to see what I landed with the hacky sack.

I did enter diving flapper for my sick 1.

Your first shred with a mr.sandbag will be so fun!

Flappers are so easy. The bag practically melts on to the sole of your foot.

So today I found out horrible news a person by the name of Brandon Humphry AKA Too-tall died last night in a car accident. Brandon and his good friend Colton Norsworthy were leaving work together. As they were driving through the intersection they were hit in the rear by a speeding drunk driver. Brandon was killed on impact. Colton knocked unconscious. Brandon was a kool guy; I have tons of memories with this guy from all the hacky sack sessions and all the other times. RIP Brandon.

So I was planning on going to the Michigan footbag tournament/jam, well it looks like I might not be able to go because my gas money I had to go up to Michigan and everything else just got dwindled tonight. 1st of all I got pulled over for running a stop sign that I didn't run, I quickly stopped and then looked left then right then back to left. I the proceeded to pull out and there was a officer like 200 yards a way I start to drive and make almost a quarter of a mile down the road and the officer turns his lights on and pulls me over for running the stop sign I didn't run. Then he confiscated my license since I had a pizza to deliver and told me to meet him at the station after I delivered the food. Well then he writes me an 80 dollar ticket while I argued with him that I didn't run the stop sign and he said well it is hard to see from that angle I was coming at. So now I have an 80 dollar ticket. Well at the end of the night while I was on the way to the coffee shop my front left tire blew out on me. So now I'm broke again. So I don't think I'll be able to make the Michigan tournament/jam.

so I haven’t played in a few days but I feel my game is improving I recently hit

:arrow: Paradox mirage
:arrow: Dimwalk
:arrow: flip dimwalk

and I'm close to hitting symp mirage

I've been working on my string length and trying to get both sides to work together also I've been working on cleaning my clipper up a lot. as for flip clipper it’s pretty hard to hit a clean clipper on that side at all I've been working on bending my knee, turning my foot and stuff to get the clipper to come out right like when I do flip butterfly ect. but it seems a bit harder to do it with clipper for some reason but I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later.
