Joe Spano's Footblog.

Post by jspan1013 »

Hey everybody, my names Joe Spano I'm 12 going on 13 in Oct. and live in New Jersey.
I started playing in hack circles this year with friends a couple times a month playing with my hand stitched sand bags (Using book covers as my material.Then bored one day searched up hacky sack tricks on the computer and found footbag.org, from there i was learning all about footbag for a month or so then I found out about modified and a month or so later here i am.

Now onto other things, a couple days ago i got my first pair of Adidas Rod Lavers (And i did a toe box mod which came out very well and my own lacing mod i came up with.) and a Benzilla bag which i'm getting a replacement for because of it being defected.But no worries Ben was a cool guy about it so he's sending over a very choice broken in 32 for me to play with which should arrive on Wednesday. :)

Now on to my first shred session ( I shredded for about 1hr. and 45mins.)-

Inside Kicks- I can get 3 inside kicks in a row on my right foot, and i can do the same on my left foot.

Outside Kicks- I can get 2 outside kicks in a row on both feet.

Toe kicks- I can get 8 on my right foot, and 2 on my left foot.

Inside Stall- 2 on my right, 1 on my left if I'm lucky.

Outside Stalls- Surprisingly i can do 1 on each foot and can launch the bag while I'm doing the outside stall up into a hand catch.

Toe Stalls-My record on my right foot is 23 as of tonight, beating my old record of 11.On my flipside (That's the right term isn't it.) i can do 3.

That's about it, i will post Sunday night on how my "Insert number of sessions" went because i will have no internet access this weekend because I'm going camping with my family up in P.A this friday, and weekend. (Actually we'll be leaving in the afternoon on Sunday actually.)
Oh and one more last thing please everyone feel free to give advice,constructive criticism,etc. if you would like because i would definitely appreciate it. - Joe
(Man, days, weeks, months, years I'll look back on this and be like this is where i started and what I'll never forget.)

Ok, well i can't post how my sessions went last friday and this weekend because my benzilla bag busted while i was shredding in my lavers doing some kicks in stalls and then all of a i kick it up high and it lands on the dirt road close by. Now i have 3 more panels/holes which makes 6 holes in it and i got last week like i said in my post before.Then after that i switched out the steel shot size 7 with small pebbles i found near by and it hacks perfect for a hack circle so by now i'm like screw it i'lll go mess around with it so next i get it stuck on my roof accidently but get it out, and last - i'm doing inside kicks and outside kicks like crazy and then i toe kick the bag so hard it goes real high and....... lands in the fire and disintegrates under 10 seconds (And beleive me this bag was un-fixable because of how many holes it had.) lol.
Now tomorrow i'm gonna order 3 mr.'s while i'm waiting for my replacement bag from ben which has a sick color combo. I can't wait!!
