*Joe Spano's Footblog*

Post by jspan1013 »

Hello Modified, my name is Joe Spano, I'm 14, recently moved from North Jersey to DTS Toms River and I've been playing footbag for 2 and a half weeks.

I love to talk, run, shred, think, wander, walk, play pool, act, play chess, practice soccer, chill with friends, and read.

I love how footbag can be simplistic, but at the same time have a very complex competitive component to it with tournaments, big add moves, insane strings, and complicated twists and contourtions.

And have a simplistic way to play by competing with yourself, just kicking, circles, and doing simple tiltless shit.

Anyway back to footbag, well today I recently broke my record of 34 consecutive kicks ( Including insides, toes, and outsides.) with now 41 consecutive kicks.

I can outside stall fairly well both sides, my toe stalls are on lock, atws both sides and both in>out and out>in.
My right atw is better then my left.
I also have flying clippers down both sides, but only clipper stall down on my right foot (I have to kinda toss it with my had though, I;m still trying to perfect them.)

I got only one B2B inside stall which was really hard to balance and flick up, so my inside stalls in general need a ton of work.

On another note today after trying it forever I got a couple clean pixie to atw flipside and regular.


* I almost got this right footed atw thing from clipper stall postion but the bag slipped off.

Thats it guys, feel free to comment, critique/ give advice if you wish.

*Edit If i haven't mentioned already I love to act, write, learn more about foreign cultures, explore, eat nice food, workout, and would like to become fluent in spanish, french, german, and maybe one day pick up italian. (For the sake of my relatives jabbering on and on in italian.)

Right atws are almost totaly on lock it takes me two or three tries to get em, but when I do I can do them one after another.

Any drills that i could do would be extremely helpful, and advice on anything or everything is greatly appreciated.

Well my Juice just arrived, and now I'll be open to drills, I'm mostly looking for toe stall drills, and atw drills.

Nothing much past that, just yet anyway.
