Best day in a while...

Ok, so today I woke up at about 1 in the afternoon. I went over to my friend Mike's house to have band practice. We had atleast a 2 hour practice and we made a really insane song. After that our band had a little footbag session for about half an hour. Our drummer went home, so me and the guitarist (DJ) hung out, and I played Madden 09 for Xbox 360 (which is a rediculous game by the way). Then we went to the store at about 2 in the morning. And this is were all the amazingness happened...

It was Saturday, August 16, 2008 and it was 2:40 in the morning... Me and DJ were eating Nachos, and then we started playing some footbag. I hit some nice stuff, mainly BSOS Butterflys, Infinities, and Clipper stuff. And then... DJ had this idea... He thought of this string for me to hit, that was just too rediculous for me... I thought I would NEVER hit it... SERIOUSLY!!!
I was doused in sweat after countlessly trying this string DJ's evil mind thought of... 20 minutes later and about 100 tries later, I hit the hardest string of my life... I CLEANLY hit :arrow: ATW>op Legover>op Legover>ss Mirage>ss DLO... in only 4 months of playing footbag!!!

I WAS SO STOKED!!! :twisted:

It was the first time I ever hit DLO midstring, and I was rediculously happy :D

When I landed it, I through the footbag at DJ!!! Ran with my arms in the air, screaming "yes!!!" and then I rolled in grass and layed there for about 5 minutes in complete shock...

It was the best footbag moment I've ever had.

After all the happiness, I walked home with a huge smile on my face repeating the words "I cant believe I hit that". I walked in my house, and my sister was hanging out with her 2 friends, and one of them was drunk as hell!!!! and she was wearing these booty shorts that showed her ass, and she had like the nicest ass ever!!!!

The night was just getting better and better!!!

After all the madness, I poured myself a tall glass of mountain dew and put on some Between The Buried And Me, and sat back and enjoyed the times...

Love, Jordan

P.S. I Love Footbag<3 and Girls in Booty Shorts<3

This truly was the greatest day of our ever-blooming lives...
As we stood there in that desolate parking lot
With nothing but our footbags and our hope
I truly noticed
That life is beautiful
Despite all the up's and down's
All the pains our "Life" brings us
And everything that always seems to drag us down
We will prevail
We will make it through this storm called "Life"
We dont even fucking need an umbrella
We'll weather it out
Walk the long yard in our bare feet
And just survive
In the end..
All there is to life really..
Is girls in booty shorts..

Goodbye

:arrow: Butterfly>ss pdx Mirage>op Butterfly>ss pdx Mirage

I havent tried it yet, but I think it will get me a lot better at clippers and setting out of clipper, and it will get me a lot more bothsided :wink:

I will try it soon.

I just gave my friend his bag. (Made by me) He will post reviews on it after it breaks-in (which will be hopefully 1 more day, my bags dont need much break in time {2 days?})

I will have to make one more bag. Then I will send out to my testers.

Sorry for the wait (I got my tungsten yesterday) :roll:

Ok, so lately... I've been playing a lot of footbag. Everyday after school.

I recently noticed in my old sessions, that I was only going for "Big Tricks" and I would never work on the essentials. So in the past week and for the next week or so... I'm gona be drilling strictly; clipper>op clipper, b2b infinities, and osis...

I always thought footbag was about hitting the coolest trick, but it's really not. Atleast to me... I wana be one of those players that can throw down 20+ tiltless everytime I touch a footbag. I wana be able to hit tricks consistently on both sides... To me, thats what matters. "Big tricks" will come in the future. I can wait...

As for "Big tricks", I have hit some, but they're not anything special...

:arrow: Ducking Butterfly
:arrow: Ducking Mirage
:arrow: Spinning Legover
:arrow: Symposium Mirage
:arrow: Dimwalk

Also I've hit...

:arrow: Symposium Mirage>Ducking Butterfly
:arrow: Ducking Mirage>DLO


Also, I will be making a video in a couple of weeks, maybe a month from now I will start filming.

please leave me tips/challenges so I can make my game look freshhhh :D

I've been shredding a lot lately. Hitting more infinities and working on ducking stuff. I really enjoy watching Erik Chan from a couple of years ago, I enjoyed how he did a lot of ducking and spinning stuff, but an excellent toe player at the same time. I really look up too him, and I think he makes a great bag. My pokeball bag he made my is getting super choice, I <3 it... I really wana be a good footbagger, I enjoy it so much, I think I'm in love :D I hope that it treats me well back (injuries that is) lately my legs have been feeling great and my sessions have been about 3-4 hours every other day. I hit my first ducking clipper from clipper today, and I was uber stoked about that. And I've been averaging about 3-4 infinities in a row everytime i drill them, the most I got was 5 today :roll:

Non-footbag
I recently talked to Zac Miley, and he showed me some of his drawings, and it really made me wana start drawing again. I'm working on a drawing that I hope to finish within the next couple of days, I will post it along with the newest footbag I stitched (oops, footbag related <<<) hehe.

I <3 Footbag

i can do pixie, I've never really been able to fairy correctly... I'm mainly focusing on infinities and ducking clippers, when I get those down, I plan on making most of my tricks; pixie based... Like PLO instead of legover and Dimwalk instead of butterfly...
