thanks for that, i'll have a session tomorrow and i'm gonna try to hit the challenges you gave me.

i dont know footbag vocabulary very much, so what does "bsos" mean?
or in general: is there already a topic where commonly used expression are explained?

Mirage > Legover > mirage > legover > Illusion > legover > illusion > legover -> Done, but illusion is not very clean


Far legover > butterfly > infinity > rpt ->Done, about 10 times in a row


butterfly > pdx mirage > butterfly > pdx mirage > butterfly > pdx illusion > butterfly > pdx illusion -> still working on my illusions, but pdx mirage > butterfly is a cool combination


DLO > ducking clip > whirl > infinity > rpt -> my strong site whirls become better, but fs is still weak, have not hit that combo yet

Whirl > drifter BSOS -> i tried some drifters, i hit it strongsite, hitting that combo bsos is going to take lots more practice


pickup>ss pickup RPT BSOS -> Done, I hit it 15 times
Legover>ss LO RPT BSOS -> Done, I hit it 12 times
Clipper>op clipper RPT (as much as possible) -> my clipper still feels ugly, but I can hit about 15, I'm gonna post some vids of me playing as soon as I can get a camera
Butterfly>near mirage>legover>RPT -> I like this one, I hit it often but I did not count it yet


I had a little session yesterday, I hit DLO bsos, smear bsos (fs pixie still sucks) ducking clipper (both sides), swirl (both sides!), some (ugly) fs whirls.
I currently try to train my flipside much more, but it is so exhausting and frustrating, but it feels good when you notice the first results :)

I suck at illusions too. I found that bubba helps in improving them.

So..

bubba-> ss butterfly -> rpt.

hey out there!

i had a great session yesterday, there is a small skate park not far from my place. i met some friends and we played like 1 or 2 hours (mostly kicking some rounds).

just when they left, some other friends of mine (dirt bikers) arrived, they were doing lots of crazy stuff with their bikes 8O and i decided to stay a little longer doin some drill.

I worked on my osis, clippers, infinities and i've tried some bubba's as well. i found it much easier than an usual illusion, but it still sucks.
I also tried drifters, i've hit some (both sides) but they don't feel very clean yet.

the weather was sweet and finally i was playing for 4 hours, nearly beat my personal record :)

I need some more challenges, i know there is still a lot to finish, but most strings I havent hit yet need to be trained much more and I'm working on it. I'm more looking for tricks to learn which support other tricks, like a bubba helps to get into illusions or i figured out that practicing osis and infinity helps to improve my clippers in a certain way. so what else could i do to make my practice a little more exciting than just drilling sinlge tricks?

hey ou there

i've been a little lazy during the last time. but when i played footbag (alone) i did lots of drill. my flipside is becoming better and i've hit some new stuff. like ducking butterflys, whirls (normal and reverse) and swirls; everything both sides :)

i've also spent some time on stitching

hey everybody!

after 1 week of after-graduation-holidays, which means excessive drinking and party, i am still a little wasted. but nevertheless i've played a lot footbag.
i was still doing lots of drill, so i hit my first clean illusions (bs) :)
as well as eggbeaters, cleaner flip pixies and i've also tried some pixie duckings.
i'm gonna work on the open challenges and im quite confident that i'll hit most of them now.

regards
michi
