DDDDDDDDDDRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Tonight with Bob:
Madd drills, yo
We kept it fun though. I've never had so much fun drilling for footbag. I'm really glad Bob and I are doing this together. Drew said he want to try drilling with us soon. I'm doing a new drilling method now. Rather than banging out 100 of the same trick in a night, I'm doing 10 of each in one night. So I'll have the experience of having done a variety of tricks first, rather than just mastering legover, for instance, I'll have mastered legover and a bunch of others at the same time, or nearly the same. Bob had a Duncan Footbag (like the yo-yo company) and we drilled with that along with every other bag we both owned. That way, we'll be comfortable with nearly every bag we ever come into contact with. Plus, if you drill with a shitty bag, you'll be better with a good bag... And your shoes would have poop on them
Anyway, lots of drilling... Some experimenting with the drills.
Really cool run with lots of flappers, squeezes, and sole stalls
Ducking Sole Stall BSOS
After the session with Bob, I went home and freestyled a bit, ya know, to test out the crack and see if the drilling I've been doing was actually working (Don't smoke crack, kids. Crack kills). What I discovered, well, what I discovered made me really happy... I was first just messing around with tiltless, but I was under a dim streetlight, so I couldn't really see that well, plus I was kinda tired from Bob's. So I decided to go for some 3 adds to see if anything trickled down to those yet. I remembered that I had gotten pretty good at legovers recently... Hmmm... Double legover?
Highlights:
Toe DLO bs and BSOS. When I hit on both sides for the first time today... I was somewhat startled. It got really easy! Then I hit it BSOS and I had to sit down. I sat on the curb, slightly confused and a little bit frightened, saying to myself.. "DLO shouldn't be that easy". DLO now feels like a mirage for me and I'm really excited. It reminded me immediately of what Jay said at NYFA.. Something along the lines of "Furious set feels like a toe stall for me now". (Don't quote me, but it was something similar). I now can understand what he's talking about.
After I got back up from my DLO spasm, I figured I'd try Whale Tail. I hit strong side within 2 or 3 tries. That was weird, since it usually takes me a good handful of tries to hit that. Then I tried flipside, and I hit that within a few tries too! That was cool, because I have only hit that one time before! And that didn't feel too hard either. I felt a little like Peter Irish. Peter must have gotten so good at Symp Legover, then Spinning Symp Legover, then Whale Tail. It totally makes sense. Footbag has never made so much sense to me before. I'm really eating it up right now.
Tomorrow's agenda:
Work
Footbag
Oh I got a new shred pack too! I got it at this hunting/fishing outlet near my house! So sick!
I feel like such a redneck when I wear it! It's great! I named it "The Shredinator". It's got room for my camelbak (plus a hole for the drinking tube to come out), my logbooks, my shred videos, my sandbags/firebag/light-up bag/net bag/crochet bags/other kick style bags, my actual 32 panel freestyle bags, all of my stitching gear, including my fabric, all of my repair gear, plus a holster for my new Nalgene bottle that it came with and a holster for my gatorade bottle filled with kerosine for the firebag. It's even got little hideaway pockets for my pocket knife, jars of Tigerbalm, deodorant, cologne, travel one-use toothbrushes, shit, even my cell phone! And it's pretty lightweight and not a hassle to carry around. Bob liked the idea, too. I love my new shred pack. I was debating all week about buying it and my old crappy pack had been falling apart all week so I decided as soon as I woke up this morning, that I would drive to the store and buy it. So glad I followed my head... I normally hurt myself when I do that
Much lower of an impact for me now that I fixed my form.
