What help do you want with your whirls? What do you think is wrong with them? I didn't know what to look for, but they did look a bit the, since you asked us to look. Especially on your right side.

Your game is a lot more fun to watch now. You're more both-sided and mix it up. Your sailing is the, though. You should try to separate the pixie and atomic. In that one cool triples combo I was, like, "Why did he put a tap in there?"

I don't know if the pdx illusions are clean or not, but they are kind of refreshing. And also, slapping clipper is so styley. So cool. It's my favourite quantum move (except maybe alpine).

I don't think my sailing is the, I get the dex in, it's just a really tiny pixie. I agree though, I should separate them more.

On whirls I was just having problems with set height and knee placement - I got oodles of advice from people and I think they're a lot better now. Thanks for the reply, Erik! Post some drawings some time.

Pixie Paradon>Blur rpt sealed with a girly scream and symp pixie bsos. New favorite drill! God that felt sooo good...
Pixie Paradon>Matador
Atomsmasher>Legbeater, using flip legbeater
No quantums today? Weird
PDX Blender>Gyro Clip to seal some shuffle. Felt incredible.

Some other stuff.

It was 70 degrees outside today!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!! I PLAYED OUTSIDEEE!!!!!!

Another 70 degree day, but I had a terrible session. Flip whirl felt good though. Got Whirl War.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 14 Mar 2008 12:16

Didn't play yesterday, I took a nap instead.

Spring break!!! YAAAYYYY!!!!

I think this is the 4th 70 degree day in a row?

I just played for about an hour outside, with no shirt on. Or shorts. Completely naked, actually.

I played pretty terrible but I felt really springy and had a lot of energy, like my body had it's own beat. Fun.

Got a really good feeling far swirl bsos. One side was sealed with spinning clipper.

I can't believe I slipped to page 2. That hasn't happened in forever.

Mixed feelings about footbag lately, I took a two day break and then played today terribly again. I'm worried about school because I hate it so much and I never do my work. I NEED to get my art portfolio finished though, I'm totally freaking out about that.

I misplaced my funk and clavens bags. I'm pretty bummed about that. I think the clavens is at my mom's. Actually I'm positive it is. Ugh.

Been playing like shit lately.

STOP RAINING YOU FUCKING WEATHER. FUCK.

Played a couple times since then, but both were really shitty.

I don't know what's up.

I feel like I have more variety now, maybe I just need to get these other tricks solid and I'll start playing better.

I was dropping on ss butterfly all over the place today, though.

Whatever. It's only a game.

Played footbag.

It was somewhat decent, I didn't throw much of anything today.

Footed Pixie Whirl>Schmoe rpt

I'm getting anxious for the online comps.

I totally just had a good session and I'm really excited.

Spinning Whirl bs. A bit sloppy, but I'm happy nonetheless because I suck at both components.
PLO x 33. I forgot about our race, so I tried it a few times today and got this. Plus some other ones above 20 and a couple around 10.

Props on the PLOx33.

Very nice hehe.I wont hit that anytime soon, my pixies just seem to be getting back where they were.

Post by **Zac Miley** » 23 Mar 2008 15:48

Thanks Aleksei. Hopefully your pixies will pick up soon.

Haven't played footbag since then. I always seem to disappear on weekends. Maybe I'll play later today.

My Grandma took me shopping. I didn't pick anything out, she just spent 80 dollars on shorts. Grandmas are crazy.

I got this really neat new footbag shirt. It feels almost like silk. I'll probably wear it in a video some time.

See ya later. Maybe I'll post again tonight.

Damn foreigners speaking in tongues again...

What does that mean?

Awesome drawings

Ah, cool. Thanks Aleksei.

Just had a 2.5 hours session. I think that might be one of the longest solo sessions of my footbag career. It wasn't a spectacular session. Some highlights.

- Spinning Swirl
- 80-some tiltless.
- Mirage>SS Mirage rpt (46 contacts)
- Blurry Whirl and Blurriest in the same shuffle run (ended on B Whirl)
- Phoenix>Swifter
- Midstring Swifter
- Footed Drifter>PDX Drifter rpt both sides
- Dimwalk>Ripwalk>Stepping ss Clip>Ripwalk>Stepping ss Clip>Blur rpt. I tried SOOOO incredibly hard to get this, and then at the end I finally realized what I was doing wrong and got it 4 times. Now that I think about it, it's kind of a boring drill. Whatever.
- Schmoe>Pixie Whirl>Far Swirl midstring

You're pretty good. Props

Kljopa · Post by **Kljopa** » 25 Mar 2008 13:00

Nice highlights

props!

How did you hit spinning swirl? i can never get it

Post by **Zac Miley** » 25 Mar 2008 14:26

Thanks Danny.

Aleksei, it's not really a very hard trick. Just say that over and over in your head. Maybe even in Russian.

lol just kidding. I try to finish the spin with the symple foot on the ground, so it's easier to start the swirl dex as soon as possible. Similar to gyro symp moves, I guess. A really crisp, fast spin is pretty much necessary too.

I'm pretty tired. I stayed up too late and my legs are tired from the session yesterday. I guess I'll have a birthday session tomorrow.

Maybe I'll nab a camera...
