Raw shred! Very little editing.

Had a fun session today. Hit's lot's of stuff for the cam, but also didn't hit some stuff that I wanted to for the cam.

Critiques are welcome! Comments are welcome! I hope you enjoy!

Had a session today. Wasn't as good as friday's. Tried to make a follow up vid, but I just couldn't get it together.

Highlight's;
Flip Terrage > Toe Barrage > Egg, barely missed bsos'ing it.
Some really good looks at Dbl Blender
Swirl > Swirl > Rev Swirl > Swirl > Rev Swirl > Swirl > Swirl > Ripstein > Run
Stepping Ss Symple Swirl
Sidewalk Swirl
Alpine Fear
Flip Alpine Leg
Dive > Duck > Dive > Duck > Duck > Duck > Duck

That's all. I'm tired now.

Later's fellow footbaggers

Loving the swirls.

Thanks Ken!

Had a session today. Swirls were feeling good, but I didn't really work them. Strange. Toe game was feeling pretty damn good! Got what I did on tape. I'll work on it later tonight, and have it up tomorrow.

Till then, night

Had a session today. Albeit short, but it was enough to work up a sweat. My feet started hurting, so that's why it was so short. But I don't mind.

Here's the only highlight;

Josh,

Great stuff. Nice swirls & dbls stuff. Your game is definitely getting a nice balance with tricks and style.

My back is getting better and so is my knee. I think I figured out what was bother my knee. I will type something in my fblog.

Keep up the kickin sessions. Consistancy is one of the important factors at getting better. Looks like you have a good spot in the garage now! I bet that is better then the dining area you used to kick in. How are the videos helping your game? once I get back into kicking I will have to video tape my sessions too. Speaking of video any progress on the Jan. 08 phx tourny sessions you taped? had to ask... just burn me a cd with all the footage. thx.

ok I better type something in my fblog now before I have to get to work. laters....

Thanks Mike! We need to get together and get some sessions in before thanksgiving and christmas!

About the vids. I really don't study them. The one thing that I get out of them is that it makes me think that I'm in front of a crowd, and that I need to atleast try for longer runs

But I did notice in the second vid up there, that my Flip Terrage and Toe Barrage are a lil thin. Ohh well, it'll come.

Had a session today. No camera. I just wanted to kick. My feet didn't hurt during the shred. So my guess is that they weren't use to all the session that I've been having.

Highlight's;

Worked more on my toe game
Flip Pixie is coming along. Flip Fairy needs work.
Strong Pixie is doing good. Flip Fairy is the best out of these sets.
Ripped Warrior > Ripwalk > Run > Pdx Mirage > Alpine Fairy Beater > Ripwalk > Run, 15 contacts or so.
Trip bsos
I really didn't work downtime. It just wasn't there today.
Far Swirl b2b starting with flip
Toe Blur b2b > 5 contact run, mostly BOP, started on flip
Toe Blur b2b > Atom b2b > Butter > Rip b2b, Toe Blur b2b started on strong

Quantum's need some more work before I can hit Blubberman. Give it a couple shots today, but the most that I got was; Toe Blur > Trip > Blur. Ohh well. I'm not gonna rush it. That set seems to get better everytime I play, even if I only use it a couple of times on both sides. I'm just glad that I was able to get Toe Blur b2b starting on both sides.

Time for rest. Have a good one my footbag family.

Hey Josh, this page has been a good read! Liked the videos too

.

Here are some good tips for working up towards Blubberman:

Toe Blur > Mirage
Toe Blurs b2b
Tripwalk > Blur

Try and repeat those as much as you can, and Blubberman will be yours! You can take the same drills, swap them with atomic sets and you've got Rubberman on the run too

.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 07 Nov 2008 21:52

Thanks Byrin! I'll work those quite a bit. Especially Trip > Blur.

Had my first session in who know's how long. Almost 2 weeks ago! Damn! It was a pretty decent session. Recorded it, but nothing worth while.

Highlight's:
Atom > Toe Blur bs
Tap > Toe Blur on one side
Rubberman and a half, first try
Toe Blur > Trip > Blur > Toe Blur > Drop
Paradon > Whirl > Blender bs
Toe Blur > Trip > Stepping Mirage, twice, while trying for Blubberman
Stepping Whirl > Blurrier, footed.

Yeah, I can't remember anything else. I tried working on barraging/furious. I don't think I worked it that hard or long. My toe game was kinda weird today. Besides for Atomics and Quantums. I didn't even work swirls, besides for footing toe whirling swirl bs and toe set far swirl. Ohh well. I need to start kicking again.

You'll have blubberman in no time. I like all the vids you're putting out. Really diggin on your style.

challenge: atomsmasher>pixie ss clip>gyro mirage>rpt

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 12 Nov 2008 18:37

Thanks Kevin! I tried that challenge tonight. My atomics were a lil off on the gyro mirage, but I'll get it

Had a session tonight. It was ok. It seemed like my stamina was better. Hit a couple new things, hit some good runs, and some neat combos. Not gonna tell you anything else. Everything was caught on tape, and is going towards the christmas calender. I might film some one shots, and do them, but nothing else. Sorry

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 17 Nov 2008 20:06

I gots some good news! Actually it's GREAT news! I've been asked to sponsor this years New Year's Jam! I will be supplying 2 Munster bags for the event! YAY!! I'm excited for this!

On to other stuff.

Had a session today. Got it all on tape. So far 2 full tapes of shreddage for the Christmas Calender.

I guess I can post some highlight's;
A really fun yet difficult trick b2b
Footed a beast
Nearly killed myself on a new trick
Had a decent look at the trick that I nearly killed myself with
Footed a BIG Gyro trick
Footed a Toe set Gyro trick
One set wasn't working that great today
Almost had a sick link with said Toe set Gyro trick
Hit 2 new tricks, both multiple times, both sealed, one was a rewind seal

That's enough. One, maybe 2 more sessions then I shall have enough footbage to make a decent vid.

Time for some rest and to continue stitching the bags for New Year's Jam!!

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 29 Nov 2008 18:19

A little over a week and my vid is due. Ouch! Hopefully I'll be able to get some good stuff on tape next time I kick for I can make a longer vid. Onto my vid, I have most of it done! But like I said, I need more footage. Plus I still need to add the intro into it. I don't have a song picked out yet, but I have many to choose from

Just had a session. No camera. I really wasn't planning on really kicking, just do some small stuff here and there to keep myself busy. Then when I hit Flux > Ripwalk in bball shorts, I decided to really play.

Highlight's;
Flux > Ripwalk in bball shorts
A run with drifter, torque, ducking clip, ducking osis, zulu clip and osis > far swirl all BSOS in bball shorts
Pdx Torque > Pdx Blender > Motion > run in bball shorts
Flip Ocean and Motion in the same run
Ocean > Motion (both strong) > run
Atomic Blender > Food > Loco, footed
Automotion > Food > Loco, footed
Motion > Pdx Torque > Pdx Blender > Motion > run, didn't have the control to try for Blurry Whirl after strong motion
Muted Fairy Clip > Muted Blurry Clip > Swifter
Plo > Egg rpt > run
Fairy lo > Dlo, almost rpt
Dyno > Blender > Blender > Dyno > Dyno > Blender > run
Big Apple > Run with strong Symp Torque, footed Flip Symp Torque!

I did some Quantums, but not many. I was able to hit both Toe Blurs and Tripwalks. But for some reason I didn't really want to touch that concept. Ohh well. Maybe I'll have this good of a session next time I get the camera out.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 30 Nov 2008 16:35

Had a session today. It was fun. No camera again. Don't worry, I still have time.

Highlight's;
Rubberman > Run with Ripwalk bsos and Pdx Mirage > Trip > Blur > Toe Blur > drop on Trip
Far Swirl > Bubbabeater > run
Footed flip Symp Torque
Rev Swirl > Symp Torque
A run with Fairy Beater, Dimwalk, Blurry Lo, Stepping Lo, Ripwalk all bsos, with one Pdx Whirl, Dlo and Drifter.
Fairy Lo > Dlo rpt > run, finally!

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 01 Dec 2008 20:13

Had another session! 3 days of footbaggin' in a row! I think I deserve a one day break

Got quite a bit of good footage today. Hopefully I'll be able to kick one last time on Wednesday and get some more stuff.

My legs felt pretty good today. Double downs were off, and so was Quantums. My toe game was looking pretty good. Flip stepping was definately lacking today. It was hard to get decent set height with it

Overall good session. Hit some new combo's, bsos'd a trick that I haven't done before. Hit one thing from the past 2 sessions. I was hoping to try and get alot those highlight's, but it just wasn't suppose to be.

Hopefully my one day rest will help my legs recover some. They aren't really sore, but they weren't quite as fast as they usually were. I could definately tell when trying Quantums. It seemed as if my legs were in slow motion and everything else was sped up.

Until next time...

Yesterday's highlight's;

Sick, mad, sad shred. Not 100%, more like 75-80%. No more shred for me till I'm over this sickness

Hope you enjoy! Comments are welcome!

I like the fear drill! Exhausting. Haha.
