i really like this blog.

swirling mobius just made me spit my coffee on to my pants. that is the illest looking trick, it deserves its self for sure on your top 5 tricks (c-fan's topic)

i liked the playing in front of the car, really great string

^ thanks Zach

The string in front of my car was right after the sun went down. I didnt feel like moving my computer inside and setting up shop all over again, so I just used my car lights. That session was the first time I have done alot of tripless in over two weeks. It was my first session in a week and now my legs are jello.

Nick and Zach...Glad you also like swirling mobius...i am just starting to use it again. I have hit it both sides but use one side more. I will start hitting it from both sides more. I really want it b2b but this will take some time. I mainly have to use it more and start off my left clipper leaving the last one for my strong side. If and when I get it ....I will post a swirling mobius b2b headcount in the shred section

Ok.....yesterday at sound check for my gig at a fair ..

i just worked on ripsteins. I wanted to get 10 - 20 separate seals on each side ...Done. Also I hit it bsos a couple of time and I think I hit it 3 or 4 times in the same run with whirling swirl which is rare. I really like whirling swirl and felt that when I attacked it right away it was easy (on strong side)

Also I hit flux about 10 minutes ago while outside playing with my son. I love flux and am about to go session

super short session , but productive.
flux first day of hitting flux maybe one day Ill actually hit swirling gyro flux
Fog bsos Goal met ...oh yeah
Scorpions Tail>pogo blur>run

you've become one of my favorite players to watch, your style and trick selection are very good. nice work and thanks for all the vids

Pasquar · Post by **Pasquar** » 25 Mar 2011 20:42

man I wish that could be a "weak" session for me

keep those flipsteins going! I love to see bs balance from you

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 26 Mar 2011 00:24

Rieferman....

Thanks man....I hope to start add more creative and dense links in my runs and take out the boring shit....I realized after looking at the footage that I completely forgot about tripless links in the session. Thanks again

Pasquar.

I went from having tripless sessions with high numbers of successful hits to a couple sessions without much planned. Glad you like the bs . I am forcing myself to hit bs ripsteins more.. When I first learned ripwalks I would use them all the time and I am having to remind myself that if I want to get good at ripsteins and be able to comfortably do multiples of it then I better start using it a bunch.

Im super sore, but hope to play on sunday with Rob Creel.
I think I am going to make the next session 80% dont drop the bag and themed runs and 20% attempts at possible links for the online comp...As of now I have gyro blazing tomahawk to enter for sick 1 and nothing for sick 3

Going to try to begin the plan for next session (adjustable)

Outline of runs
-5 add>couple of 3s>four 4 adds> 5>couple 3's>eight 4s> two 5s>3's>6
-torque, p torque, mobius, marius all bsos
-whirl, p whirl, BW, tomahawk,spinning whirl, all bsos
-ducking runs with ducking, diving, weaving, zulu, 3s 4s 5s
-all p mirage and p illusion variations
-fog bsos
-try food bsos
-make sure and hit a 4 after mobius not butterfly
-dyno variatons-
make sure and hit 4s after twirl
-Phonex>BW>p torque bsos

Sick 1 dream tricks..
swirling mobius screw (footed)
gyro blazing ducking p torque (footed)
swiring spinning butterfly swirl (need to set better)
gyro blazing ducking dyno (closest out of all)
fairy swirling mobius

sick 3 ideas to try
swirling spinning butterfy>food>ducking p torque

+1

You always see taller lanky players hit mobius stuff. You're like the one shorter player who can make them look nice. Props on all these crazy moves. Swirling mobius screw

I thought you had it.

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 27 Mar 2011 16:02

^thanks man....torque I think was the first four add I ever hit......wait .....nope ducking butterlfy was....anyway...thanks man...I tried over and over and just no seal ...maybe next time....was hoping to enter it in the online comp but oh well....

You make footbag look HARDCORE and DANGEROUS. Swirling Mobius Screw made me want to smack my face against my desk. If you showed any professional motocross rider or daredevil that video, they'd shit.

I'd really like to do that thing with the desk the more I think about that trick. Oh wow. Holy shit. Yeah, the desk sounds pretty good in this situation. I mean "props" would be a severe understatement here. Damn, umm... I dunno, man... Yeah. I really don't know. I really can't describe how I feel about that with words from the English dictionary. Um.. Keep doing things.

RipWalker · Post by **RipWalker** » 30 Mar 2011 10:19

Wow, yeah man, swirling mobius screw looks ridiculous! Moooore!

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 30 Mar 2011 17:14

Nick, thanks man.....I would like to be graceful and effortless but HARDCORE AND DANGEROUS sounds BADASS too

..

The desk.......HA HA HA HA HA Ha....hope you took it lightly... THanks man.....i am also enjoying your blog.....from now on I will try and post something when I read it...... Thanks man

Ripwalker.... Hell yeah man,....thanks

I filmed a sick one .....not what I expected but still a solid entry....I wont post it until the deadline for the comp. I am curious to see the other online comp entries. I will try to get a sick 3 before the deadline.

^ nice.....couple of thing I have to think about before I post any advice on this.....give me a coupe of hours......

and also.....that is not swirling gyro......that is swirling spinning toe my friend
sweet!!!!

I will post comments soon

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 31 Mar 2011 16:45

ok......between this post and the next one....I should be able to shed some light on this..

First of all my right clipper is my strong and left is my flip too...so thats good I guess as far as help is concerned. You are off to a GREAT start.

First of all

-Your setting position and hands are the exact same as mine.. When I started I wanted to drop my right hand to my right clipper and from my right hand to my left clipper. This from the start contributes to the different versions from your "strong" to your flip.

STRONG SIDE OBSERVATIONS-right hand drop to right clipper somehows help us jump and turn in a circular motion to the right. (which is good) I think because it puts the clipper slighty farther away on your side which after you swirl helps you have the room to send the bag - you are jumping a little forward which is sending you the opposite direction as the bag. More of jumping in a circular motion UP AND TO THE RIGHT will help you spot the bag quicker and put it closer to you. This will also make the dex cleaner. (even though from certain angles a perfectly good swirling spin looks weird)

FLIP- by setting from our right hand to the left clipper the swirl is actually a little cleaner but .........you are rotating less on this side.... the strong side swirl would be cleaned up by rotating more around without traveling too much forward. If you look at the circular distance you travel ...on your strong side you turn to the right completly faceing the other way , whereas on your flip you do not rotate as much, then you have to turn and try to get the toe. Also on your strong side you are using your upper body you help you rotate but on your flip you are jumping more straight up with less rotation.

I HAVE TO SAY THAT .....I am glad I am thinking about this in a way to try to pinpoint what we have to do.....

this will be something that I will try to edit and adjust for both of us until it is super helpful....I wish that there was a manual on how to correctly do footbag tricks.....I know there are tutorials and videos and threads, but I feel like I need to spend about 3 years with someone like Milan, Moir, Vasek, and just learn.....

any way

Tips

try setting from all possible combinations. If you like to set from right hand to right clipper ( and I do too) then set from left hand to left clipper... my left clipper is my gyro blazing and gyro blazing ducking side and my right clipper is my strong swirling spinning, swirling mobius side...wierdly the right clipper is also my flip spin and mobius....but there are other reasons for this...anyway...setting hands and positions have to be even to try to make the sides similiar.

jump up and in the circular direction of where you want to spot the bag....dont jump too much forward because you dont want to travel away from the bag...The dex will clear it have faith...then control will come

when working on this....hit multiple successful attempts....swirling spinning toe 10 different time both sides one session.

hit swirling gyro mirage ......ie...right clipper, swirl, turn to the right ( try not to touch your right foot to the ground until after the mirage is done), mirage with right leg, catch on left toe. also ...doing gyro pickups on both sides may reveal difference in your swirling spinning sides

hit tricks that make you plant the swirling leg immeditely such as swirling spinning legover or swirling spinning p mirage.....even if you dont hit them right away ...just going through the motions will help you will the difference between planting your swirl leg or keeping it up....tricks like swirling spinning legover, swirling scorpions tail you have to plant as soon as you can.....tricks like swirling gyro pickup, swirling gyro legover, swirling gyro whirl, swirling gyro mirage, and swirling mobius you never put it down until after the dex

KEEP TRYING ....your video look great .....Im pretty damn sure that with that start and some work that you will be hitting swirling mobius before you know it......
