I have been playing lots and having a lot of fun. I have been doing a lot of drills. Drills I used to struggle with are now easy, which is a good thing, means my practice is paying off.

My left knee is starting to hurt. A while ago I started stealing Ken's combo's to practice, now it looks like I may have stolen his injury.

Here is a video from yesterday. Nothing too great, but nothing too crappy.

I got a job working at a bakery. I will be making doughnuts at 4am. If my knee gets better this could be real perfect for footbag seeing as house I will be getting out of work around 1pm, I could get home and play everyday before it gets too hot outside.

:lol: I watched the video before reading the post, and throughout I kept thinking: "I like that combo, that looks like something I should try."

Try it while facing the camera the whole time. - like consider a delay not facing the right way as a drop.

Sorry but no

I do a lot of spins and osis and pdx tricks that involve hip pivots. Anyone who knows freestyle tricks wont have a problem seeing what the tricks are. Every video ever has points were the player is not facing the camera.

I am not going to change how I play and practice for the sake of facing the camera

Sorry, but not really

I think you should face away from the camera so I can see that sweet ass.

I'm sorry to hear that man. Maybe the silver lining could be hanging out with friends at NYJ? Hope things get better on your end.

What is that room you're not supposed to be in?

Props on the mobius drill. That one caused me to punt my water bottle into a wall a few years ago.

Loved the hawk. Shredwise, the vortex void was my favorite.

The other day I was thinking about how footbag is like an RPG video game. My thought was with osis, at first it takes you forever to hit it, then after thousands of tries (experience) you get better. But the better you are at it, it takes more tries (xp) to unlock the next level of osis. In other words 10 osis = level 1, 20 osis = level 20 etc.

Then my very next thought was that I have been playing too much Skyrim.



When I am not playing Skyrim I do this:

I am really trying to get better and doing a lot of drills to push my game. Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome, positive or negative.

:lol: Literally LOLed. You get a hotel in Vegas yet? A couple groups including mine will be at the excalibur. I'll check out your video when I get home, and then in all likelihood file away your drills so I can try them once my footbag sabbatical is over.

Stoked to hang out in just over three weeks man!
