Back to basics, a return to my 3rd love, footbag.

Keep a diary of what you're hitting, what's frustrating you, and your goals.

Hey Andrew, it sucks you aren't going to make it to MFJ. I was really hoping to hangout with you again. And I agree about my frantics and it's because they are just plain the. :wink: That combo was kind of a joke too. I want to do 10.

Crowley has been over for a couple days. We had our first shred sesh today/yesterday. I started out good, but ended soon only to come back 10 minutes later for another hour and a half sesh.. Kevin was going off on long runs every time with tons of 4s and 5s, even some 6s. I filmed about 25 minutes. I'm probably going to make a video. I hit some new moves and every challenge Kevin gave me. I was stroked.

There was this gangster dude that just hung around us for the whole sesh. He just kept making random references. Over and over he would refer to things like E. Honda's 1000 chops or making up tricks such as the captain jack sparrow's side elbow stall. Sometimes funny, most of the time, annoying.

We have also been working on this breakcore/dnb/ambient? track. It's actually sounding pretty damn good so far. A really good footbag song, that's for sure. Hopefully we can make a couple tracks while he is here.

Made it back safely last night. almost died...

I really need new windshield wipers. mine don't wipe, but swipe back and forth. was passing a semi on the pass with the cement median on the other side of me. Got slush thrown onto my windshield mid-pass and couldn't wipe it nor see. It was also around a corner. a completely blind pass and a minute afterwards of no sight till i put on the hazard lights and wiped it clean. definitely thought I was dead.

How should I go about sending you my .flp files?

more barefoot. I might just shred only barefoot at mfj :?

pixie ss egg x2 footed 1000's of times in hyper mode :x
smear>smudge>magellan>plo>rpt>something
pixie same illusion>smudge>rpt in hyper mode
pixie muted swirling gyro inside, kind of like monster/motor/whatever that weird move is, probably the
pixie swirling set :?

Sometimes I get so into what I'm trying to hit, I go into hyper mode. While in hyper mode, you can't stop moving. There are no breaks, no breathers, no waiting, no thinking. Just do..ing. Despite the declaration of depravity against gravity, nothing comes out of me. It's sad state to be, but the key is to keep the fire burning inside, think richard pryor back when he was ALIVE.

I just got all of my hair cut off. It's pretty weird, it was past my shoulders 20 minutes ago. Now, if I get a new pair of shoes and a good bag I can start actually being a footbag player again.

I'm stroked for Montana Jam. I hope my car doesn't have any problems. I always worry but haven't really had any major problems. Boone needs to call me.

Alright, I guess I'm back after almost 2 years. I've picked up playing music since then. It's been my new passion since I gave up footbag. I play downtown in Riverfront Park in Spokane, WA. It's a cool spot to play footbag because I can plug in a laptop and listen to music and be outside and all that.

I played Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this last week. Each time for hours, which is great for me. I started a little slow, but now I am already feeling comfortable. Here is some stuff I hit that I liked.

spining clipper>paradox whirl rpt (never have been able to spin out of whirls)
paradox whirl>paradox drifter bs (cool feeling combo)
ducking clipper x6 (fuck off, shits hard for me)
spining whirl bs
both swirls, both sides
long BOP runs with good form
flip DATW both ways :oops:


On a personal note, it feels good to play. Although, it's just a matter of time before it becomes annoyingly ghey again. Oh well.

Ouch. I'm fucking sore and tired. Just got done with a fat sesh downtown. I filmed it to, but I used an old vhs camcorder. I have no idea how I'm going to upload it, oh well. I had some pretty god runs. Here are some things that I hit that I can remember. (hopefully I can upload it soon or it will be irrelavent)


matador bs
paradox torque bs
pigbeater bs
ducking clipper>whirl>spinning clip rpt (and many variations on this)
whirl>ripwalk bsos
whirl war 1
long tiltless runs with smooth style
gyro osis was a fluke move I hit many times without trying, weird
long BOP runs with decent style


I had planned to walk to a coffee shop and record myself playing the piano here, but some shitty acoustic group is playing. It's booorrring1!3 I'll try to wait it out and get some quick footage of piano. I fell in love with the piano/keyboard again recently. Shit is so cash.

Kevin Crowley came into town last Sunday-Wednesday and we had a nice sesh downtown. I hit my ripwalk record of 8 (maybe 7?) and some other cool stuff. Kevin's atomics were badass and hit hit like every atomic 5, almost all both sides. We had an awesome time getting drunk and jamming music and talking shit. Good times.

I just got back from donating plasma and decided to do alternating inside kicks for distance. The farthest I got was about a block and a half. Shit is hard to keep consistent, especially up hills and the cracks in the road/sidewalk. I hope to train harder and be able to walk a mile doing alternating kicks.
