Thanks for the comments guys!

@Zeb, we'll just have to find out in Vegas!

@Mike, thanks. It's one of those tricks that I love to do, but rarely can

Had a session today. Very good one at that! Check it; http://modified.in/footbag/viewtopic.php?t=19477

I'm feeling pretty good today. I'm pretty sure that I will be having a session today. I'll broadcast it live off of ustream.tv. I'll probably get it started around 7 tonight. I hope I get people to come watch. Last time I did this I only had one person watch. Kinda sad.

That's cool John.

Had a session on saturday. It was ok. Played for like an hour 1/2. Tried out my climas again. Didn't work out all that great. Switched to my g6's and had a better session.

Highlight's (from what I can remember);
Muted Nuke Clip
Flurry > Ss Symp Whirl, took forever
Flip FLurry a couple of times
Symp Whirl bsos
Phoenix, for the first time in FOREVER

Flip Fairy/Pixie and strong Fairy are better in g6's. Strong Pixie is better in clima's. Barraging/Furious is about the same in both. I think I clear the dex's faster in clima's. Overall, I can't wait for my Quantums. Hopefully I get them before Vegas Jayum!

I'm liking those most recent highlights. Keep it up!

See you at NYJ!

Eoghan

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 17 Dec 2008 17:57

Thanks Yoghan. Too bad I won't be at NYJ though.

Session:
Step Clip > Muted Blurry Clip rpt
Osis > Symp Whirl rpt
Whirl > Symp Whirl bs
Pdx Drifter > Matador
Muted Nuke Clip > Pdx Drifter
Pdx Whirl x5
Barfly x4
Far Symp Twirl
Twirl > Symp Twirl
Toe Whirl > Symp Whirl, bs, almost bsos
Pdx Whirl > Symp Whirl, One side, other side is gonna take some time
Footed Pdx Drifter > Far Symp Swirl rpt

That's it. My ankle is bothering me, and I'm not feeling all that well to keep going. I think I'll let my ankle rest for a week or so and see how it's doing. Hopefully it'll be up to 90% or so, and hopefully I can make it to the Vegas Jam. If not, the following weekend is the Phoenix Open. Finally I can play some net again, and hopefully freestyle with Chad again.

Had another session to help relieve some shit that happened.

Highlight's;
Fear bsos
Fairy lo > Ss Whirl bsos
Nallegem > Toe Whirl bsos
Blurry Whirl > Symp Whirl
Footed Blurry Drifter bsos
Symp Whirling Swirl
Flip Pixie Ss Clip > Barrage > Run with Blurriest, Paradon and DOD
Pixie Ss Clip > Barrage rpt
Footed Plastic Man
Food bsos, First time for Flip Food
Tomahawk, Blurry Whirl, Reactor and Ps Whirl all in the same run
Almost footed Fury!!
Gyro Whirl bsos
Muted Nuke Clip > Blurry Osis > Infinity > Duck Clip > Spin Clip > Duck Clip > Spin Clip > Spin Clip
Flip Muted Nuke Clip
Muted Pdx Tapping Blender, invention? Next time I kick I will try to get this on tape.

That's all. Really good session. My ankle felt good, probably cause I had it wrapped. My other ankle felt weird towards the beginning/middle, but it soon dissipated.I think I'm gonna get an ice pack out and ice my sore ankle.

Overall, I liked this session. I had a good mix of toe and clipper game thrown in. I'm trying to work on toe shuffle to help break up the monotony of my regular clip shuffle game.

My Barraging/Furious, on the side I can hit it, is getting better. I don't know how many times I footed Jani on the sweet spot. I need to work on getting my clipper foot there faster, and a better set. I had a couple of waist high sets, but they were practically right next to my body so any movement and I would have hit it. I did have one set that got my close to Fury! So I'm pleased.

Also my Flurries are getting good. Still can't hit them mid-string, but they both are getting stronger to were it only takes 2-3 tries to hit it, both sides. Again, I'm pleased.

I need to work on my Ducking/Diving/Weaving/Zulu and Spin's more. They don't seem to be as consistent as they were at the beginning if this year. Which kinda sucks. I liked my game then, with alot of downtime tricks, now I've progressed towards a really heavy uptime game and I feel that if I continue on this road I'm not gonna be able to kick for much longer without having to deal with constant injuries. I think I'll try to keep my sets, but back off on them and try to keep it mostly downtime with a lil bit of sets thrown in. Hopefully I can keep with is.

I know a bunch of stuff I want to hit, but will I ever hit them? I'm working towards 2 of them right now with all the furious work. I've also footed a unique beast, but for some reason I think some of my flip components, especially stepping, is falling behind. Even with doing it all the time.

I don't know. Maybe a break is in order? We shall see. Right now I want to focus on getting my game to a decent level for either Vegas or the Phoenix Open. If all goes well there, I'll stop seriously playing and drill the crap out of the components that I feel are the weakest.

Sorry for all the rambling. I'm not well.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 22 Dec 2008 18:39

That's all. It's raining here in Az. It looks like we might have a rainy Christmas. But who know's for sure though.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 22 Dec 2008 19:28

So I wasn't exactly done just yet!

Extra's;
Jani a couple more times
Footed Jani > Far Swirl
Worked, what is now, flip Jani some
Quantum's were easier this mini session
Trip > Blur > Atom bs, tried to rpt it, couldn't get past the second Trip

Footed Muted Nuke Clip > Matador
Footed Flip Muted Nuke Clip
Pixie Ss Pickup > Fear > Fairy Ss Lo > Smear
Stepping Clip > Symp Whirl bs
Side > Symp Whirl bs

That's all. My legs are done.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 29 Dec 2008 17:45

Had a session today. Had the itch to kick. Also to see if my ankles would start acting weird. They didn't, so that's a good thing.

Highlight's;
Fairy Lo > Trip bs
Plo > Leg bs
Barroque
Spin Clip > Duck Clip > rpt >Duck Clip > Dive Clip > rpt > Run with a legbeater, bsos drifters, Duck Osis and Dive Osis
Dirfter > Drifter > Pdx Torque mid-run
Rev Swirl > Far Symp Rev Swirl
Symp Whirl > Ps Whirl > Run with footing Superfly at the end
Dyno > Pdx Egg bs
Egg > Ss Egg bs
Ripstein > Run with dropping on Whirr
Footed Fairy Ss Barrage

Alot of my runs consisted of Ducking/Diving and Spins. Plus alot of downtime. It felt good to not use all uptime and try for being unique. I did get a little frustrated once in awhile with my spins on one side, but my flip ducking/diving more than made up for it. I figured out a way to get my flip fairy a lil bit more consistent, sweetness. That's about it. Hopefully freedom footbags will get the new shipment of Quantums in, my goonits are just about dead and I can feel it.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 30 Dec 2008 09:43

Yup, I knew I forgot a highlight.

Smear > Fear > Tap > Trip > run

Now if only I could do that on flip

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 31 Dec 2008 21:30

End of year session. It was ok.

Highlight's;
Osis x15 > Torque > Osis x15 > Torque > Osis
Flip Slap > Run with Footing Strong Slap
Footed Grifter bs
Flip Ripstein
Slap Bsos
Strong Ripstein

I was just getting going when my dad walked in and said lets go, cutting my session short. Ohh well. I had a couple of rpts that I had just planned and was goin' to try.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 02 Jan 2009 19:09

First shred of the New Year! At first I wasn't really feeling it, even with that amazing first run (first highlight). Then I just started trying different things and trying to bsos them. Did quite well. The only thing that I remember trying and not getting bsos was Ripstein. Didn't even hit one on either side. Ohh well. One good thing that came out of this was.........STEPPING OUT OF JANI!!!!!! That Jani felt so clean and effortless, and when I stepped out of it I temporarily forgot what I was gonna do and bailed to osis. It felt good!

Highlight's;
Flip Fear > Ss Butter > Blurry Pickup > Fear > Fairy Beater > Rip > Spin Osis > Rip > Blurry Whirl > Rip > Stepping Mirage > Tapdown > Blur (drop)
Footed Hatchet on one side
Footed Slapping Mirage bsos, Flip Slapping Mirage, new
Swirling Rev Swirl (Zigzag?) Bsos, Flip Swirling Rev Swirl, new
Symp Whirl > Whirl bsos with Spin Osis and Zoom Osis
A couple of god looks at Flip Ps Whirl and Toe set Symp Whirl, using weak Symp Whirl
Had Pdx Drifter > Muted Nuke Clip off my foot
Symp Whirling Swirl, Flip won't cooperate

Symp Rev Whirl bsos, both new
Tapping Pickup > Toe set Symp Whirl
Whirr > Run
Jani > Blurry Osis > Run with Footing Jani mid-string!

One thing I noticed that I need to work on is flip stepping. I couldn't hit a single Blurry Whirl, and it was beginning to piss me off! I don't know what's up with it, but I'm not getting the consistency that I once was.

Onto other news. I frequent Freedom Footbags website to check up on news about the Quantum 03's. The shoes are in Boise, and hopefully I'll be getting my pair fairly soon. I'm tired of my goonits, and I really don't want to switch back to my clima's.

zeroman13 · Post by **zeroman13** » 02 Jan 2009 21:14

So I wasn't exactly done yet....

Symp Whirl x2, footed the third one. One side, other side was feeling weird.
