I recently purchased one of Jordans footbags (No lie)
And it was really good
They look cool too
Theyre pretty much pre-broken in
I suggest you all buy one
Theyre only like $25 and they play like Jesus
Mine is pretty

Bye

ive been hitting more leftside to rightside clippers

i think i will only practice them till I have them completely down.

I suck at doing Osises, but after drilling them for a while, I realized I made 16 Osis b2b. Just keep on practising, its kinda easy to learn, or atleast make.

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » 07 Aug 2008 13:01

yeah, i think i will just try to go for 20 b2b clippers... then i will drill osis.

Ok, so I feel I havent really made a completely informative post in my footblog about myself yet...

So here it goes.

I am 15 years old from New Jersey, and Ive been playing for about 5 months or so. I really plan on attending these tournaments: New Years Jam in Chicago and Hackrifice in Canada. I will be doing a lot of training in the next month (atleast an hour a day). I am drilling Clipper>Clipper, Butterflys, and Osis. I hope to have infinities solid before school starts. I also want to hit 20 tiltless before school starts also. But, enough for footbag.

I really enjoy music. Some of my favorite bands/artists are...

Glassjaw

Say Anything

No Cash

Nas

The Postal Service

Wu-Tang Clan

The Smiths

Theory Hazit

Bright Eyes

Immortal Technique

Head Automatica

I play guitar, bass, and piano (even though Im not that good at piano, its still fun). Some people say that Im a good guitar player, but that doesnt matter to me, I do it for fun. I rarely learn other peoples music, cause Im always writing my own music. I hope to start a band with a good friend of mine by the name of Frank Malatino. And Im currently in a acustic project with my friend DJ (who also posts on this forum). What more can I say about "music" except for... I love it.

More interesting things about me...

I have some "interesting" talents, such as...

I am pretty much at a semi-professional level in the video game Halo 3 for the Xbox 360 (Heres a video of me playing)

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS0hqhpE6j8[/youtube]

I can solve a rubiks cube in 1 minute on average (my fastest time was about 25 sec.

)

I stitch footbags.

My stitching experience so far...

I really enjoy stitching 32 panel footbags, I have made about 11. My stitching is getting more and more consistent with every new bag, and I do plan on selling my footbags around when school starts for about $25 a pop. I will have every color in the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) of facile: by the time I start selling bags, and maybe some amaretta fabric. I will only be using tungsten and some poly pellets (COMPLETELY NON-TOXIC)

. They are medium gathered and a little smaller than a golfball. I hope my testers like them

and speaking of testers, heres the list...

Manna Mpepo

Jorden Moir

Will Digges

Matt Cross

Ken Somolinos

also, sorry to my testers if I havent updated you with whats going on with my bags that Im sending to you, but... I ordered tungsten (that I should be getting soon), I am waiting on that. So once I get my tungsten, I will send out the bags to you guys ASAP!!!

Back to footbag...

I am currently not stitching for now, because I wana catch up on my shred. But by the time I start selling my bags, I will be at around bag #20 or so, so my stitching should be uber consistent by then, even though Im at #11 and I think my bags are pretty rad

I hope to have all my basics perfect within the next 2 months, and hopefully I will be Guiltless before the first semester of school ends

Well, I hope I filled everyone in on my life, and whats going on. I will keep this blog updated with my shred, stitching, and life. Whenever I find time to post something important. Im done with the 2 sentence posts...

Peace,

-Jordan

Oh man, I used to love No Cash. They were great for the five minutes they were together. So are you also into Choking Victim/Leftover Crack?

Or how about The Mad Conductor; have you heard this stuff? It's this crazy imaginative, scene-core, DIY hip hop project that Chris Cash assembled after No Cash died...and it's awesome.

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » 08 Aug 2008 08:24

i was actually gona post more bands such as...

In-DK
Morning Glory
Leftover Crack
Choking Victim
Star Fucking Hipsterz...

But I didnt want to name too many bands

I know Chris Cash, I talk to him through the Mad Conductor Myspace. And yes I know The Mad Conductor, I love them... Chris told me that they might be making a new CD soon, so WATCH OUT!!!

Im really happy to find another Shredder that listens to good music, keep in touch man

by the way, No-Cash is my favorite band of all time.

DJ · Post by DJ » 08 Aug 2008 20:34

Oh god the Halotage is up...

And ew, The Mad Conductor

No Cash
Puts them
To shame

I hate The Mad Conductor because I refuse to accept that is Chris =(

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » 09 Aug 2008 05:27

im sorry DJ, but I do know something that will make you happy, actually 2 things...

I was footbagging with Mike Campanile yesterday and he saw me hit Double Legover!!!

I asked Chris Cash when a new Mad Conductor CD was coming out and he told me... 1975. And I pretty much shit my pants laughing.

DJ · Post by DJ » 09 Aug 2008 09:01

Life...

Ok, so lately I haven't really been able to shred. I think its because of girls. They take way to much time out of my shred, and my life. I think the last week of the summer I will just shred everyday, and give friends a break. Im not trying to be some kind of anti-social outcast, but I would really like to start playing footbag a lot more. I think people just get in the way too much. Or maybe its just my fault for never saying "no" to people that ask me to hangout. But I guess im just too nice... I really wish there were more people in my town that played footbag, and that would wana shred more often.
I recently got 2 people into footbag... My best friend DJ, and my friend/next door neighbor Mike. Hopefully we will all shred soon

Newest footbag accomplishments...

Clipper>op Clipper>op Clipper>op Clipper
