Tim Harper - Footblog

Post by teh120793 »

Hello everybody, my name is Tim Harper. I started 'Hackysacking' back in 5th grade (2004?), but really didn't get into freestyle footbag until the end of 2009. I'm 17 years old, and I try to practice everyday.

christmas

Post by teh120793 »

I got a Unicycle for Christmas and I've been practicing with it in my basement (I wish it wasn't so cold outside). Starting to get the hang of it, I can ride it like 10 feet then I lose balance. Also got an LED Light up footbag, and a juggling set (Clubs, rings & balls).
