jesus christ I have been busy lately, new set of friends, trips to berkeley and shredding with brian and all my stanford holmes
i havnt been able to drill as much lately but things seem to be coming better, i hit ss dlo
ive been doing whirls with pretty much same form both sides
drifter>dlo
30 contact guilt/tilt run
landed one torque
i really need to work on stepping, ducks and spins, i practice them everyday but there really not coming along yet and im very impatient, i need to do them NOW, i only got 45 minutes in today, im pissed, i think i might force myself to do another thirty, if not, hour and a half sesh tomorrow and then another hour later
footbag is great, im really enjoying soaking up the culture from my group and landing new tricks, the support i get from the sport is awesome, high fives never felt so good =D, but still, i feel i need to train harder, if i werent so busy i would be spending much more time on it then just an hour and a half to two hours a day, time to refigure my schedule, i wanna train as hard as i did after worlds, i want to be able to do 30 string BOP with spinning ducking and diving mixed in, so i can move on to gyro and the non double dex 3 adds, i think i might get stanford tatted on my arm... yo

ss toe whirl>paradox dlo
pdx drifter
pixie legover both sides
pixie ss mirage
pixie mirage
symple butterfly both sides
ducking X3
diving both sides [sometimes]
dim walk
infinity times twenty most tries
ss butterfly times ten
osis times 15? probably 12
lots of osis links
paradox illusion is getting way easier
got closer to flail with the help of jay boychuk
im guiltless now =D, im doing 12 to 15 contacts of guiltless when i put my mind to it, and i can do like 30 contact strings of tiltless and a bit of guiltless mixed in when im having a good day, if i try hard i can get 25
not amazing but im happy, my guiltless consists of ssbutterfly, infinities, osis, ss butterfly from toe, pdx mirage, pdx illusion and occasionally whirl
this week was steves birthday [happy bday to the brat] and jay came down for the weekend, so ive been doing sessions a TON, which is way different, im used to drilling which i havnt done in a couple days because of the seshes
i actually got close ISH to kilo, and i MEAN ish, but it was still exciting for me because kilo is the shizzle
i really need to drill spinning a ton, ducking a ton, and whirl and drifter a ton, plus i need to get down ripwalk better, i feel like having a consistent ability to do ripwalk both sides whenever would make me a much better player and improve my dexing speed a ton
those are my goals to get down within the next month, then on to double dex 3 adds

so ive been drilling ducking and spinning everyday, i dont do it during sesh tho because i cant land it consistantly,
im getting better at ducks, but boy are spins a chore, i work on them everyday, follow all of my elders advice, but still it continues to be a problem, the sets are getting better, and my spin is to, but i need to work on spinning and setting at the same time consistently, also my quantums are almost done
i landed blender though, as well as super close to whale's tail, drifters and whirls are getting better
close to PS whirl, i hot osis>pdx whirl
it's vitamin c, you know me

(thanks for the advice on that jay)
ive landed PS whirl

ive decided to start doing strings at the end of the day for a half an hour
so my schedule is

drifter clippers
ducking style clipper
butterfly style clippers
infinites
20 of all those as warm up
legover 10
pickup 10
mirage 10
illusion 10
ss butterfly 10
ss mirage 10
butterfly>pdx mirage rpt 8-10
osis 10 to 15
paradox illusion practice, i usually practice and try to go for four butterfly>pdx illusion
whirl practice
drifter practice
spinning practice
after this, i wait a few hours and then do string practice for 30 minutes,
usually i only play an hour 30 every day, but i try to do two
day 2
ss clippers
drifter clippers
ducking style clipper
butterfly style clippers
infinites
20 of all those as warm up
near/far legover/pickup 8
ss illusion
illusion from clipper
mirage from clipper
symp mirage (all types of it) practice
ss butterfly
butterfly>pdx mirage 8
osis 10 to 15
pixie practice
stepping practice
spinning practice
then i do 30 minutes of tilt and BOP shred later on to practice string length
i really feel like ive finally created a plan that should work for me, my goal was to be able to do guilt really easy by now, but schools a bitch and footbag takes time, im sure once i have start putting in the string length daily ill improve a ton
im also working on staying deep on my knees in order to attempt vasek and overall good form

didn't get to play for five days because of family visits for the holidays, can you say crappy?
that's how i felt about it, i came back today and after putting considerable effort into changing my mental state i played decent, i almost hit diving dlo,
this made for a great new years
i figured out a little bit about how i should be playing the game, apparently going faster and being more aggressive towards the bag suites me, which i'm happy about, i like aggressive style
it's time to get back to playing footbag fer reaallzzyys

been a few weeks since i posted, i injured my back tuesday so i didnt play wednesday and its not feeling much better so today may be out as well
i almost hit spinning ducking, ive done pixie legover to pixie legover, been hitting more whirls, starting to do slightly longer strings then i used to
i was in philosophy class today and one of the things he talked about was finding yourself rather then idolizing others, because if you are just like someone else, then you cant be anything more or different then them, now what this meant to me in terms of footbag is instead of always saying, im terrible because im not vasek, and i need to be just as good and just like vasek, which will probably never happen lol
i look to vasek only as a guide as how to form my tricks correctly, more as a physical guide, less of a footbag idol for me to base my whole ideals on footbag over
now only 11 months into the game its a strange realization to have, especially since i have so much to learn, but i think it may help me free myself from some of the unnecessary pressure i put myself under while i play footbag
i need to practice hard, play everyday, watch how i play and what i should focus on while playing, and not beat myself up over not being as good as i'd like to be

dolla dolla bill yall, cream get the money
so i have a shaved head, no dreads, and its 12 months and 10 days into the game!
im done with bops as a strict drill, i do them as a part of my warm up just as i do tiltless and clippers in order to strengthen them and how many i can do
now im onto dlo's ducking spinning whirls drifters and occasionally (but as of now will be every session) eggbeaters as well as ripwalks (ive hit 3 ripwalks back to back as of now) and other up time components
a little bit of atomic and lots of pixie
i've also done pdx whirl>pdx whirl multiple times, as well as linked pdx whirl to osis BS
after i get down spinning BS (i have it down right side) im gunna start doing gyro clipper, after gyro clipper im sure that gyro tricks will start coming more naturally to me
Ive hit a number of ducking links, ducking pdx mirage, ducking leg over, ducking pick up.
and i played in my camo g-units tonight (very sparingly), my game feels like it's actually solidifying to the point where i can start to switch inbetween different shoes with little difficulty
onto silly tricks that aren't being drilled that im close to or have hit
im very close to blurriest, as well as barfly and stepping blender
i've hit paradon and barrage BS
datw BS
ive hit blur, and blizzard BS(OS?)
blender, and pdx blender
links
whirl to stepping
osis to stepping
nothing impressive but there a milestone for me considering it means ripwalks are getting to be an every midstring trick
footbags good, the interest is now solidified into me and i feel im gunna be into it for the long haul

chillin out on the heavy playing, and it's actually helping me improve, but i should definitely devote some time to my d lo and eggbeater
lost my quantums unfortunately so im rockin some modded camo g units, there pretty fly with the brian bear mod (microsuede clipper area) basically i cut out the mesh and put some microsuede there, fixes that slip you get from the mesh, which is great. because that is the main reason why i couldnt use the shoe
anyways im hitting drifters and whirls/ pdx whirls consistently in runs, and ive hit 7 ripwalks b2b
ducks are pretty easy now and my good spin is starting to solidify a bit more. it took a while but playing with some new people and taking a break from upsessive play rekindled my interest in the sport

have been hittin the bag 3 times a week occasionally 4, so about 6 to 8 hours a week, because of some legal issues, school and work, i have to grow up but i'm still bagging
and i've actually gotten way better
i'm hitting stepping everything lol, well every basic
stepping to mirage, ss mirage, legover, pickup, illusion, bothsides
blurry whirl both sides
pixie mirage/illusion bothsides and hit 13 pixie legovers today
whirl war is easy now
i've hit d-lo to pixie far whirl, as well as drifter d-lo far whirl drill a few times
i've done 8 d-los in a run 4 on each side, starting to work on egg beaters
drifters are dialed as well as whirl pretty much
getting better at spins and ducks but it's slow progress i'm bad when i can't see the bag
i've hit 5 ripwalks in a row, not huge on ripwalks consecutive but never have a problem bringing em out mid run in twos or occasionally threes
i've hit ripwalk side walk clipper bsos
torque bsos but not dialed, definitely not dialed that'll come soon hopefully as well as many other things becoming dialed
i'm playing in camo g-units with footbag material for the clipper for grip, it works great, no more clipper problems with them and the toes on them are great since there mesh, i found another pair online so i'll be good for a year or two, but will probably be back in quantums as soon as i can get a hold of a smaller size in them, size 8's a bit to big on me, if anybody has size 7's that would rule, suprisingly steve doesnt think that the g-units are causing for problems, i'm sinking well apparently and using landing gear most the time (it's when your foot hits the ground the instant the bag stalls)
footbags good right now, if i wasn't so busy i'd play more, might take it to a competition, next green cup i'll compete for sure if it's around here (which i think it always is?)
