Got up at 7 > tennis 8-10 at school > marching band 10-12 at school > footbag 12:30(ish)-3:10(ish) > now > sleep

I took john bagi's advice today and decided to care much less about tiltless/guiltless. As a result, much fun was had. It was just a session to more or less do whatever. Not much drilling. I did hit some cool stuff though, including two new rake 5's.

Highlights:

-flip DSO (midstring)
-DSO bsos. (first time I didn't seal the second one upon dropping on a clipper. Next try got it no problem. Such a cool feeling

)
-flip blender (finally!)
-Paradon rake (I think a couple of times it was nice and deep)
-Tapping rev whirling rake
-flip merkon
-Merkon > butterfly > rpt
-Pdx illusion > toe whirl bs. hope to rpt sometime soon
-Tripwalk (yay first quantum move)

Didn't do too many strings today. longest was 19 contacts. It was actually my first string of the day. But it felt again much easier to keep the bag up today.

Okay now to go sleep a bit

Played with other jersey people for the first time this year. It was a lot of fun. My friend wants to make a footbag video for his school's film fest so he recorded for an hour today. Got a lot of cool footbag from everyone.

I felt like I had a great day in trickability and a decent day in stringability. I would just save the highlights for the video to be posted but I have no clue when that'll be so I'll just say them

Highlights:

-cool run with ducking mirage bsos and one pdx ducking mirage. dropped on the second one
-cool run with lots of symposiums
-tripwalk again
-toe blur first try
-Blurry whirl! off my foot to be sealed by chris. Later hit it on camera with the hand catch
-tapping whirl (felt soo cool. And I like it more cause its my flip atomic)
-Assassin/pheonix each second try
-a few backside smears
-pixie flail (it actually wasn't clean by any means, I just felt like putting it)
-decent number of strings with bsos pixie

Playing with people is soo much better than playing alone, no doubt.

I like footbag

I just passed my final board of review for becoming an Eagle Scout. Wooooooooo.

Now the higher ups just have to approve everything.

Yay

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 14 Mar 2009 13:09

Played for an hour and a half maybe?

Highlights:

-18 or 19 unique tiltless
-footed DSO x2. Will have it soon
-Blurry Whirl again
-Toe Whirl > Pdx Ilusion > rpt
-Finally freakin flip pdx whirl
-Ducking Butterfly Rake bsos (the rakes might have been shallow unfortunately. So I'm not sure if I'll truly count this as my first time bsosing a 5)
-Ripwalk x2 again
-A couple decent atomic sets bs. Almost flip atomsmasher. real close.
-A couple decent quatum sets strong side
-Started to work on flip quantum. Didn't try hitting anything from it, I just want to start building the basis.

I was happy with the session overall. It was a keeper

Laterr

Later

Got back from disney yesterday. Fun trip for the most part. It was cool cause it wasn't a typical vacation. My school's marching band got to march down Main Street, USA in the Magic Kingdom. Our band was the third of three spots, which is the honor spot. We basically introduced the big disney parade.

Got in a 45 minute session on friday morning at the resort before going to Hollywood Studios. Had to take it easy on account that I hadn't played in nearly two weeks. I really tried to keep it simple. String length wasn't all that bad. I hit spinning pdx illusion, which is new for me. Hit ripwalk bsos pretty easily so I guess thats a good sign. I was, unfortunately, a bit unhappy with my clipper form. My next session will need to be drilling to get back into the groove of things. I really want to be able to go to GRASS so I don't wanna suck.

Play.

Hour and 24 minute session after tennis. I'm gunna say I was definitely a fan for not having played a lot at all recently

Highlights:

Dimwalk > ripwalk bs

Ripwalk > far symple swirl bs

Flip nallegem twice

butterfly rake > ss xbd rake > rpt (challenge completed

)

ss butterfly > osis > pdx mirage > rpt x 12 contacts (challenge completed

) With this one, I remembered the challenge yesterday and thought to myself that it might be a lot easier now than before. Lo and behold, it was

Infinity x16. I'm coming for you 20!

Now to do spanish homework

Played a tad while at my uncle's house today. I wanted to see if I could actually do any of the sick 3's that I was thinking of in my head lol. I got a couple very good looks at the one I plan on doing. I'm pretty confident that I'll be able to do it with a bit of practice.

Another highlight that got me happy was hitting PLO b2b bsos. This was quite the surprise because I rarely do PLOs b2b, and I'm pretty sure I've never flip pixie'd successfully out of a multidex move before. Once I hit it with flip PLO second it was easy to start on other side midstring. It felt really cool. That also satisfies my goal of 4 uptime sets in one string. Now to go for 5.

Later

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 06 Apr 2009 18:19

Played for a little while again.

Highlights:

-Soooo close to PLO > Magellan > rpt
-Nallegam bsos
-Much better set timing on drifters.
-I think I'll be ducking flip pixie in a matter of sessions (I hope)

Goodnight

Long yet distraction/fun filled session with a couple friends who are mildly getting into this.

I can't even remember half the stuff that went down. I'll try to remember the highlights:

Osis x11 (new personal record, yay)

Toe set zulu symposium dragonfly. Hit it 3 times on video. First time we realized the camera phone resolution was on lowest. So I hit it on highest, and of course my phone doesn't let me send high resolution, so I hit it on mid, which of course had more or less the worst execution lol. But whatever, it felt freakin awesome. Its a move I've been wanting to hit for the past 2 or 3 months. I figured either that or some variation of it could lead me to being the inventor. Only time will tell

Gyro clipper > ss butterfly > diving clipper > rpt (challenge completed

)

Other random stuff too, I just don't remember. I got a lot of hockey pucks shot at me and other footbags thrown at me while playing lol. They really only messed me up like 3 times.

Yes

Cool trick, mad style. I've hit pdx dragonfly in the past so now I'm totally stealing symp from you.

Ducking PS Dragonfly....do it!

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 11 Apr 2009 18:00

Haha alright.

I've hit ps dragonfly as well before so I'll definitely try it ducking next time I play.

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 11 Apr 2009 21:46

Just had a midnight session while watching adult swim. No ducking ps dragonfly yet but I'm working towards it

Highlights:

worked on swirls and drifters a bit

ducking pdx mirage bsos

zulu pdx mirage bs

zulu pdx dragonfly bs

ps dragonfly again

dragonfly and pdx dragonfly both bsos

whizz bs

pdx whizz strongside. Almost hurt my leg trying it weak lol

ducking clipper > whirl > rpt

Worked on stringing tiltless. Two 18 contact runs and a 24 contact run in addition to multiple 10+ contact runs.

Yeahhhhhh

Happy Easter!

Just had a session. Not entirely sure how long it was, I just know I'm in pain

Highlights:

osis > whirl > rpt

butterfly > merkon > rpt

footed smear > plo > rpt

3 contacts of blur > dimwalk > rpt

ducking ps dragonfly

worked on sick 3's a bit. I figured I'd switch the combo I wanted to do cause I just wasn't hitting it. This new combo seemed like a great idea until once I got too far into the session I lost all hope of hitting it lol. There were two times that I could have hit it but I was trying the beefier version of the 3rd trick and dropped lol. I guess I'll just start with the reg, get it on camera, then try beefier. At least I can hit my sick 2 and kinda sick 1 lol

So tired.

Played for almost 2 hours after my tennis match

I'm not sure much really got done lol. Tried to practice my sick 3, didn't have entirely success with that. It currently feels like my flip pixie has taken a step backwards, not a big one, but a big enough one. It was getting soo good too

Highlight like things:

-Smear > Tap bs almost bsos. I think I dropped on the last tap
-Pixie ss clipper > whirl bsos in a guiltless string. (only 7 contacts though lol)
-Almost drifter x2. Getting close
-Toe set ss symple swirl (bs?)(can't remember)
-much more consistent swirls strong side. Flipside is getting there
-Almost forgot: Flip atomsmasher finally!!!

Yeahhh, I'm tired

g00d33 · Post by **g00d33** » 18 Apr 2009 08:51

Just went to go hit my sick 1/2/3 for the comps. And i got all of them

Now I just have to have my sister upload them from her camera so I can submit them
