would love those combos, but motion is one sided, and goes on flip rev swirl :(

something sexy:

motion-barroque!

completed.

So I kicked for 20 mins while gf was giving baby the evening meal. Nothing big, just doing some barages, then I think of Ken's challenge of gyro barroque, I hit gyro barrage first try with a shitty set, so I think with a good set barroque would be easy

less then 20 attempts and 4 minutes later, I hit a nice and what feeled to be deep gyro barroque, I was really proud, defenetly one of my big achievements in footbag.

I think I can hit this again on camera someday, it was'nt as hard as hitting morpheus that I never hit since worlds 2007.

I think my first one was better, but got this one on cam yesterday, played for 5 mins after washing the pool in massive heat, after doing a few runs and hitting this again a jump in the pool was really nice.

Still hard to execute this trick as it's my second time getting it, but I think I can improve it.

It looks like you're really pushing your game. Props on gyro barroque, that is such a slick move!

thanks for the comments guys, it means a lot having lost so much weight and still being able to learn new tricks by barely playing.

priorities change with time, but passions should never be defeated by priorities.

That's my opinion and I intend to keep playing, even if in small doses, for as long as I can.

I have no idea how Scott Davidson gets to play every day! I lack of time, it's incredible!

I intend to keep kicking at breaks at work every day, mostly clippers and legovers, but it's as fun as busting hard for me, I enjoy every trick and never get bored, getting the chance to just play is enough for me to be happy!

So I'm now playing every day at work on my hour lunch break, for about 40 mins. Not too much, but just right for me to hit some stuff

lately I hit ps whirl-rev swirl that got me happy

Also got good chances at flurricane! Might hit this sooner or later

Never been in such a good shape, hitting some atomics/quantums/steps midstring never been better (even tough I still suck at them)

Lots of fun playing like always, even if playing in small doses.
