Hit 3 consecutive whirls both sides (it's a challenge) then you'll can start thinking about how you have to make the dexes for a whirr..

dudeguyman · Post by **dudeguyman** » 09 May 2007 15:30

yeah, i can do a string of about 5 whirls. never tried doing them consecutively before today. they are good form, i do them totally clean, but i tend to want to set them too high. they defenitely could use a little work and i can almost do it flipside now too.

i can do 10 infinities now shooting for 20 by end of the weekend as well as 7-8 whirls and flipside whirl. i'm also gonna school some other things.

my quantum ducking is getting better i think too although i've been trying to school some easier stuff lately so i can have good solid unique long strings.

I posted my comments about your game in Isilwar thread after the video.

Do these :

mirage > ss mirage > rpt 20 contacts
mirage > legover > rpt 20 contacts
illusion > pick-up > rpt 12 contacts
butterfly > pdx mirage > rpt 12 contacts
alternating clipper * 25

i did a ton of shredding this weekend. i got atomic osis down. ducked stepping set for the first time. hit ripwalk>ripwalk many times. got 15 clipper switch (trying to get to 23). got 6 consecutive whirls, my timing of the dex was a little off before.

Saturday i hit Atomic osis>mirage>butterfly>15 spinning clippers (new record by 2) i did it with the bag i sewed this week. i'm thinking of selling it but i'm not sure. i need the money and i have other bags, but this one is the best 32 i've sewn so far. i think i'll probably sell it for $15 if anyone is willing to pay that, otherwise i'm happy to keep it.

pm me if you are interested in buying it.

Don't sell bags yet Cody. It looks great though, I'm finishing another one tonight.

Props on the new stuff you hit as well.

New stuff:
clip set double switchover
15 spinning clippers (done at the end of a good string with the crazy looking bag i made)
spinning ducking butterfly
spinning butterfly rake
16 clipper switch
can almost hit stuff off stepping ducking
stepping osis, quantum osis, atomic osis are all looking nice now

i am excited for summer to start thursday. no job, just getting ready for worlds and spending the rest of my time with my amazing girlfreind Jaimee.

i'm going to shred for several hours tonight i think.
gonna school diving clippers, whilrs, whirrs, atomic legover>quantum legover>rpt although i have yet to get the repeat... also ripwalk>ripwalk and osis>osis

Eggplant>quantum legover>butterfly>ripwalk>ripwalk>far legover

i spent a long time working on a sick shred 30 for the kansas footbag open on june 2nd. the string above is all that i've hit of it so far. i can get up to the first ripwalk real consistantlybut the 2nd ripwalk is were i have trouble cause i have a weak flip stepping set. but the rest of my shred 30 shouldn't be to hard for me to continue without dropping. i think i might have to write a little simpler shred 30 than what i have though, idk.

so i'm not going to my girlfreind's birthday partyat worlds of fun theme park cause f the kansas footbag open...but i kinda wanna go to Orlandos night club with zac to play footbag the following day which is her actual birthday...i don't know if i could convince her of that.

Just hang out with her from like, early to 6 or so and then we can go to Radius or something.

Whatev.

Nice string.

Blue_turnip is retarded.

hey, i think that bag looks sellable. maybe a little more gather with a bigger template would be cool. it would come out the same size...just more gather.

dudeguyman · Post by **dudeguyman** » 28 May 2007 17:24

New Stuff:
quantum mirage
quantum ss mirage
25 clipper switch

i want to drill tripwalk, atomic dada curve, flip stepping, whirl

Kansas Footbag Open is June 2nd. putting together a shred 30 for that.

June 10th we are having a fire session at orlandos nightclub starting at 7:00 in the parking lot. The manager there is bringing his juggling torches and stuff. I've been sewing a ton of 4 panels to use as fire footbags and to sell really cheap. 4 panels are good for fire footbags cause i can make them fairly quick and they are still like shreddable, just not top notch.

I was with my girlfreind 12 hours yesterday...we were going to a movie and i had just put on my lavers to wear. we were kinda standing around getting ready to leave and i looked down at my shoes. i felt sad. hadn't even played footbag since the fire session i had last monday. i figured i was gonna play a ton this summer, but not so much i guess. anyways i got her home pretty early, at like 10:00. then i headed over to orlandos nightclub and did a fire footbag and did a ton of torch juggling and had a great time. we had no lighter fluid so we used 190 proof alcohal. i dipped my finger in it and lit my finger on fire and used my finger to light my torches up.

here's the new bag i finally got filler for and so i closed it up and stuff.

What day do you wanna shred this week Cody?

I can come over to your house like, tomorrow around 5 or something prolly.

I can't come over today. Can't come over Thursday, or the rest of the week...

So I guess tomorrow or Wednesday. How does that bag play?

dudeguyman · Post by **dudeguyman** » 21 Jun 2007 11:49

so zac came over tuesday night and by the time we were done shredding on wednesday my back was totally shot and still is. i must have bad form or something. i don't think i hunch over a lot cause i try not to but maybe i do. anyways i'm spending 90% of my time til friday evening laying flat on my back i think.

i'm so close to getting spinning swirl and tapdown swirl

I drilled butterfly>infinity>rpt and it's starting to work out nicely for me

i hit eggplant>slap>tapdown>ripwalk>osis> far legover

if your landing flat footed a lot and you arent playing on your toes it can put tension on the lower back and potentially injure your spinal cord.

Update this you douchenozzle.

where is he...?

dudeguyman · Post by **dudeguyman** » 18 Jan 2008 06:44

yeah, i don't really ever use my blog. I guess i could though. check out this bag i stitched with my new fabric.

i'm really happy with it.

dudeguyman · Post by **dudeguyman** » 22 Jan 2008 08:02

drilled whirl stuff last night. highlight was toe whirl>spinning butterfly>paradox whirl. mostly i was drilling paradox whirl both sides. i'm pretty much equal on each side. i've only had 2 sessions since NYJ and both were about an hour. My back is finally healed, thanks to God, but the funny thing is i don't even want to play as much footbag anymore. I really love footbag but its not the most important thing in my life now. I wanted my back to be healed really bad so i could play footbag and now that it is a really haven't played alot. I think working on pdx whirls has strengthened my whirls and so i think my spinning whirls will be more consistant. Also i started stitching a new bag last night. It will be only the 2nd bag i've made with the fabric i got from cale at NYJ. it will be gray and white with red spikes. i think it should be pretty sweet.

Props on that string. I understand the unwillingness to play footbag, especially in the winter.

Friday?
