Yay! I am excited to hear more from you! I'm sure you're making lots of progress and I would like to read about it!

You're awesome!

If you specify the colour itself (ie. color=blue) then it should work

So I'll just make this short...

I've been drilling the basics this past week.

150 bs of clippers, toe stalls, and insides

I figure if I solidify the basics, the harder tricks will come naturally.

I've also been practicing ATWs.

The other day I got myself to hit 50 ATWs bs. I'm pretty happy about that.

I got 10x tiltless strong side with that.

Anywho, that's what I've been up to.

I know I'll get good fast if I keep this drilling up. I'm pretty damn determined now.

Goodnight! <3

You've made some big improvements, especially with that ATW bs 50x

Great job hun <3 I'm really proud of you with the work you've put in. It will pay off big time in the near future That's the best feeling.

I'm so excited for the following:

1) coming to pick you up Friday
2) Picking you up Friday!
3) Riding up to PSU with you sitting in the seat next to me, hopefully speaking words at me as I return your words with other words!
4) Fun words! I hope this isn't too forward, but you're fun to talk to
5) Arrival at PSU!
6) Sick ass fun ass weekend with you by my side and in my circle (hopefully! )

Thanks Nick! You've always been extra supportive of me thanks.

So, PSU Pumpkin Jam was SO FUN! I loved reconnecting with my favorite players up there and meeting some new players. It was also great to see Nick, again, of course He's a wonderful guy. I can't blame it that girls are jealous. Everyone who attended is so down to earth and friendly. I loved this atmosphere. Everyone as PSU improved so much, too! That was awesome to see Keep it up guys/girls! And I will, too!

So, I kicked mainly with April this weekend. She and I moved around to some circles, but we also had our own female circle (of two :/ ) lol. The other two girls in PSU were busy this weekend and didn't attend much at all. LAME! lol j/p I understand how school gets. Anyway, April is awesome. I had a lot of fun joking and kicking with her. My favorite time with her was when we were sitting down taking a break from kicking. We were both in our halloween costumes (I a red ribbon/flapper/me and she a baby dragon lol). April all of a sudden lays flat on her stomach in her costume and starts trying to move along the basketball court floor like an inch worm, but wasn't going anywhere! hahahaha. The best part to that was how determined she was to move along the floor in such a funny outfit and I think nobody but one other person besides me actually saw this happening. lol. April is so fun to hang out with. I look forward to kicking with/hanging out with her again soon!

It was also a pleasure to kick a little bit in a circle with Mike. He's one of my favorite players and I think he makes a great friend I hope to kick with him more often in Bethlehem/ K-town! He just needs to tell me when lol

And thanks to Matt Kemmer for helping me hit mirages A LOT easier! You are awesome! lol. Saturday night, Nick noticed Matt was helping Ivan learn some quantums (uhmm... correct me if I'm wrong with that) and wanted Matt to help me with anything. Nick suggested mirages since I can almost hit them every time EXCEPT the bag falls off my toe from my trouble with switching my feet. After some serious instruction from Matt and a few leg grabs later , I hit mirage easily 2x! Then I was done for the day haha. *Note* Matt knows what I'm talking about when I say leg grabs. lol. Then on Sunday he helped me hit legovers and pick-ups for the first time. He's really great at teaching- better than he gives himself credit for. Thanks, Matt!

So here are a few highlights of mine from this weekend:

mirage strong side x2 DONE PROPERLY
legover strong side x10
legover weak side x8
pickup strong side x2 ( I ran out of time to try more)

Along with those, I also practiced my basic toes, insides, clippers, atws, butterflies, and osis. I plan on just drilling all of these tricks until I have them solid in my memory so then bigger tricks will be easier for me to hit. I'm not giving in anytime soon.

My legs are sore from this weekend, but it feels good. I'll take a little break tonight and I'll keep drilling this week.

That's it for now! Have a great evening/morning/afternoon/night wherever you are and whenever you read this!

Sorry if it's lame that I'm the first person to comment on your blog I'd like to argue that I'm the biggest fan of your game

I loved seeing you light up after you hit your first Mirages and Legovers this weekend. I saw it in your face that you were so proud of yourself for learning them. It made me light up when I saw you light up I could see the confidence in your face and in your body as you were hitting those legovers, like you knew 3 things: 1) You were going to definitely get close to hitting them, 2) You had a good chance of hitting some, and 3) that your legs were now able to do most of the thinking, rather than your brain.

That was really cool to see Anyway, I'm so proud of you for hitting your first dexes that incorporate the use of both legs. That is a really good milestone for you right now. I know you're going to get much more consistent with those tricks the more you practice them. Also, I think if you practice how I've been suggesting, you're going to see some awesome improvements sooner than later

I also had a super fun time with you this weekend I like bringing you to jams and I'm glad you had a lot of fun with me and everyone else there

If you keep your drilling up, I can honestly say that you'll be at a strong Tiltless, with some Guiltless tricks by the time we hit PSU Jamps in April (The month, not the player. Shout out to April, the player though )

You looked so good in your Red Ribbon Flapper costume this weekend though. I'm looking forward to seeing you again sometime soon, and hopefully maybe kicking a bit too Didn't get to kick with you this weekend as much as I would have liked to :/

I know you want to be a good player eventually, and I know I may seem biased, but I honestly think you have it in you When you want something done, you get it done.

Keep up the good work hun, very proud of you <3

[Nadiahhh]

Awe Nick! I love you! <3 lol

Thank you for saying all that nice stuff. You are very encouraging I hope I can live up to your expectations! That would be AWESOME to be Tiltless with some GUILTLESS tricks by this April!!! Are you sure that's possible?!? lol That would be so cool though

I'd love to kick with you more, too. I think it's funny how we didn't kick that much together this weekend. We were both occupied I guess See me SOON, okay?
And keep teaching me!

I wholeheartedly agree with your last statement: "I know you want to be a good player eventually, and I know I may seem biased, but I honestly think you have it in you When you want something done, you get it done." I am extremely driven to succeed. You know this So, I will succeed in footbag! HOORAH!

And nobody is going to stop me.

Hey Nadiah!!!
It was great to meet you this weekend! I'm sorry I didn't really get the chance to kick with you, I guess it didn't really pan out the times I was there and then I really thought I would be able to make the session Sunday but then a bunch of other stuff got in the way anyway, I hope I will get the opportunity to kick with you in the future and I'm sure I will! It's always awesome to meet another female footbagger
