What are you going to improve on for 2008? Less self-serving? Stitch one bag a month? Host a tournament? What are your footbag resolutions for 2008?

Basically, continue a year's worth of doing what I've been doing for the past 3 months. Specificcally: Good posture, good balance, completely flipsided, reach my weight goals to help me with all these things.

To add some detail, I want these concepts dialed: stepping, atomic, pixie, spinning, ducking/diving, double dexes both directions (I mean single leg double dexes), great fundamental components (mirage, legover, illusion, pickup). I guess I'll throw "behind my back" concepts in too (osis, torque etc.) along with whirl as a concept.

Ha ha.. I guess I should have just said "I'll get good at everything"

And, I'd definitely like to learn how to stitch, but that might wait until 2009.

Edit: Good topic Ken.. I'm sure (knowing you) you plan to do this already, but if not: set yourself a reminder to bump this thread in December 2008 so we can all comment on how we did this year. I'll set myself a reminder too

To dial uptime concepts like crazy. Includes pixie, fairy, stepping, atomic, quantum, zooming, and possibly frigid surging, all completely both sided. Wish my luck...
