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

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. :D

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...

:arrow: Glassjaw
:arrow: Say Anything
:arrow: No Cash
:arrow: Nas
:arrow: The Postal Service
:arrow: Wu-Tang Clan
:arrow: The Smiths
:arrow: Theory Hazit
:arrow: Bright Eyes
:arrow: Immortal Technique
:arrow: 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...

:arrow: 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) :D

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

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

:arrow: 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 :wink:

and speaking of testers, heres the list...

:arrow: Manna Mpepo
:arrow: Jorden Moir
:arrow: Will Digges
:arrow: Matt Cross
:arrow: 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!!!

:D


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 :P


:!: 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 :roll:


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.

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 :D

Newest footbag accomplishments...

:arrow: Clipper>op Clipper>op Clipper>op Clipper

:arrow: Butterfly bsos

:arrow: Infinity

:arrow: 6 DLO's in one session



More to come...
