Dude, boss video. Great to see you really mixing it up with some Dragons! And I love the inspinning. I recently started to hit those bs. I want to work on them more after classes are out and I can just drill and play footbag all summer. Can't wait to see those flapper tricks, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for this next flapper oriented video from you! Did you hit those flapper tricks in your Units? If you did, then I'm excited, because I just ordered a pair and was hoping I could still use flappers in them.

Good luck with those tricks, not that you need it

yeah, great highlights in there, seemed like a really fun session!
mobius -> blurriest looks great.
also liked the shuffle at 2:00

units are just dandy for flappers nick

although i mainly use sole position not flapper.

Woooop! Great to hear! Thanks Brian! I can't wait until they show up at my door.

Sick dude. Sunilwalker is a dream for me.

I'm totally on egg shells waiting to see some of your flapper stuff, man. I've been looking forward to that video since you posted that you were doing some flapper stuff. And I think Atomic Whirl is called "Reactor", another dream trick of mine. Props on that link too. So nuts.

at that last string- holy shit!!!!

mad props on everything, I like seeing you incorporating some uns as well

Edit: also wanted to extend props on your music choice

Dude, wicked video. My favorite part was Flapper BSOS, just cuz I'm a nut for [uns], but the rest was gnarly. Swirling twirl> Janiwalker... Mobius Dragon... Um, what? lol SICK. But yeah, I yelled real loud when I saw the flappers go down. They looked really good man. Try bending down just a smidge with your knee, like a super small clipper cushion to make them look loads better. The bag's rolling a little, on each side, you probably realize it, but you just gotta bend that knee a little more and that's not gonna roll anymore. Also with Units, I've realized something about them. I'll pm you about that. You might have realized it but, just in case. I hope I don't seem like a prick giving you tips on flappers. I feel awkward trying to give you advice, but since you're just starting to experiment with flappers and I've been doing them for a while, I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. I hope to be seeing more flappers from you in the future. Such a rad additive to shred, in my opinion. I'm pm'ing you now.

Not sure I ever gave you props on the swirling blender, but I thought it was super cool. Looked just how I envisioned it in my head. What's your unique tripless record?

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 22 May 2011 12:38

^thanks Ken ...I think you did give props already but thanks again..

as far as my unique tripless record ...I think its still at 20....I havent tried in over a year....just guessing I think I could get 30 -35 now.....I will try again soon.....

today I decided that I will work towards a couple of goals every session until further notice.....

GOALS
fix barflys, p whirls, drifters, and blenders
Hit NEMESIS
hit 10 unique fearless..

-Session in Lavers
-today i worked on furious sets both sides...I had a good look at symp furious legover on my flip while I was just trying a symp whirl
-hit symp whirling swirl controlled for the first and footed it on flip
-hit phoenix>Blurriest>BW>P torque>P torque
-spinning ducking p mirage>phonex
-phoenix>Blurriest
- blurriest>BW
-BW>p torque
-Ptorque>Ptorque
-Ptorque>tomahawk
-tomahawk>spinning p whirl
-spinning p whirl>scorpions tail
-scorpions tail>mobius
- hit 10 infinities in socks ( no shoes )
had a decent fairy symp swirling spinning set.....( unfortunaely this does not link up to my strong superfly but will try to do something with it) I can see how superfly would help finish the turn though ....
if nothing else I think I could hit fairy symp swirling mobius

got some cool blender drills from Radek .....will try next session

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 23 May 2011 17:05

right foot sore .....today I played in gunits...actually missed lavers clipper and toe area but didnt miss the lack of shock absorption....Im finding that the more I hit tricks in socks ...the less the shoe actually matters....

worked on p drifters and blenders

Blender>butterfly repeat feels great on one side and shitty on the other....glad I am now aware of this

hit swirling mobius first try (my 5 year old daughter asked me to hit killer whale and I hit swirling mobius instead)

hit a bunch of janiwalkers both sides
hit 10 seperate unique 5s in under 30 contacts (first time I have done this)
hit Phoenix>Blurriest>BW>P torque>P torque
hit tomahawk>spinning p whirl>scorpions tail
hit Spinning p mirage>phoenix>blurriest >BW>p torque (new for me)
hit a fearless 4 pack to start a 20+ contact run
had a good attempt at spinning ducking p drifter

realized that my flip p torque needs work...I have a tendency to go to my heel on my support leg.....need to be more conscience of this to hit tomahawk after it and be able to hit a three pack after it too....

the two main spots in the 10 pack that need work are starting with my flip spinning ducking p mirage and then on trick 6 to 7 getting out of my flip p torque........

will get to 10

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 24 May 2011 07:55

40 min session

worked on furious sets, p whirls and blenders

hit spinning ducking p mirage>phoenix>blurriest>BW>p torque

Phoenix>blurriest>BW>Ptorque>p torque>tomahawk

Fucking sick dude. I just got home from Canada from an internship and all I see on this blog is 5>5>5>5>5rpt lol I promise I'll read these more in depth later. But for the ones I saw.... DAMN. All I gotta say. Props man. Specifically, glad to see you're killing furious sets now.

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 25 May 2011 12:29

Nick,

hope you had a good trip man!

today I played even though my legs are jello. Had trouble with the transition from blurriest to BW which never happens.....oh well.....still work the start of spinning ducking p mirage to phoenix alot and getting better and better and flip p torque to tomahawk

spinned out of a blender on both sides (felt great)
drilled blender>butterfly repeat on both sides.....hit a couple p blenders that felt controlled and easy

Janiwalker>run>flip janiwalker (first time ever mid string)
sunilwalker (flip) felt effortless
sunilwalker bsos
had a decent attempt at nemesis

Your torques look good. That mobious dragon was awesome. SO SICK. Hilarius that your buddy, or room mate or whatever is in the background yawing and texting and all the while you are exerting tons of energy.

Jazzkid · Post by **Jazzkid** » 28 May 2011 06:30

^

thanks man....that guy yawning was the dj that works in the casino......I thought that room was my little hindaway but apparently hw also uses it.....when I got there I asked him if he minded me "jumping around" he never complained ....Ive had people yawning, family members dancing, old people working out, and all kinds of other stuff in my videos.......thanks for watching the video and welcome to the blog

yesterday I played in gunits....the switch between lavers and gunits for the first time doesnt really bother me.....if the ground is soft or im playing on mats then lavers.....if my feet hurt or im playing on concrete ...then gunits......whenever I see carpet I take my shoes off and try to work on my sock game

I hit flip janiwalker with ease first try

had a good attempt at archnemesis on one side....and figured out that the day I can hit furious p mirage consitantly will be the day I probably hit nemisis

NEW TRICK>>>>ECLIPSE >>>YEAH!!! only tried it because by accident I almost hit furious eclipse....also footed janiwalker rake.....made me realize that I would like to see someone hit janiwalker swirl repeat

this is the 12 pack that I am working ....10 is really the goal ...but sometimes its easier for me to start from the second trick ....so I left small options

spinning ducking p mirage>phoenix>BW>blurriest>P torque>P torque>tomahawk>spinning p whirl>scorpions tail>mobius>motion>p blender

last sesssion I hit the three packs in the goal run 123 234 345 456 567 678 789 8910

I am also continiung to work blender>butterfly repeat ...and other blender drills.....already p blender is getting way more consistant on my strong side......p whirls and barflies are getting better too......for the first time I feel the way Im am hitting these tricks are changing....from the to clean....
there are many drills that these tricks are leading too....

figured out that I was pausing between blurriest and bw and that was causing that issue....

had a couple of runs yesterday at the playground at my gym while my kids were playing......first time in a couple of sessions I just played for a few runs.....twirls, ripsteins, janiwalkers, all of the tricks in the goal run and other stuff just came out.....feels good....working mainly 5s has started to pour into my runs.....i can finally 10 5s in a run....and they are almost all connected to another 5

I will not video any session from here on out until I either hit 10 5s, nemesis or arch nemesis( or unless by some miracle another footbagger comes to town which in that case i will probably film everything)

The dancing dad video left a mark on me

Anyway great stuff dude. Eclipse will be a sick addition to your game. Furious Eclipse is madd styley. Furious P. Mirage is called "Fury"... not that I can hit it... I'm just a nerd and I've researched tons of trick names

Nice 5 3-packs there. I hope you find it reassuring that I can see you hitting a link of 10 5's.. It's not very far off from you. I'm gonna PM you something in a second. Awesome shit though. Good luck on Arch Nem and Nem.
