still going strong on my footbag streak!

I have a 'happy problem' where 3 girls are after me right now, I need to set my mind straight and either tell them all to forget me or pick one, it's tacking too much of my free time and making my shred every day pretty hard to accomplish.

Today I almost hit ripped warrior-ripwalk, I was really stocked and I have hit so many ripped warriors!

also strong blurry drifter is becoming easier, I really like this trick, flipside is still mad hard

today during my daily session I got a sweet highlight:
clipper set near double switch bsos!, almost sealed with reaper bsos as well, dropped on flip

Had one good attempt at step ss dbl switch, pretty hard for now

Your game is looking awesome man. Keep it up. Just saw the Bed> Dim *rpt footage. Sick drill and great run to seal it. Your every day shred is really benefitting you.

day 232 in a row

average sess, put too much energy on some stuff that I couldn't hit

some good highlights:
flip fairy spinning mirage (2nd time)
blury drifter-ps whirl-pcx drop (was going for dlo)
step ss illusion-fairy ss whirl-pdx drifter, almost bsos'd dropped on last drifter.

forgot the rest, jumping in the pool felt like magic after :)

250 days in a row!

I filmed most of my best runs with a camera that wasn't filming,.. it's getting really annoying it says Card is full while it's totally empty. I need to replace it

also when it got really full, I hit shooting mirage and didn't have it on cam ... talk about luck

But I decided to use my cell phone to film some more, and here is the result of my epic 250th day in a row

Watching Cassy and Dante busting ripsteins like crazy last week-end motivated me to drill swirl.

I got clip-swirl-hand catch x3 on one side. Also blurry whirl-swirl

I suck at swirl :(

348 days in a row now!

here's me hitting something I never tought possible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1abdGIl ... e=youtu.be

also hit a cool drill after but not on cam, step ss illusion - fairy ss whirl - rpt

I'm so busy lately, hard to get to play, for instance, I just worked 95 hours within 8 days...

My new shred room is dope, and I will surely improve it through the winter

yesterday was 379th day in a row

I have not filmed enough recently, filmed one or two sess for a calendar vid, I should film another sess for a more varied video

Also have material from a Ianek session and the boston jam for other videos :)

Yesterday's highlight: inspin clipper bsos, was a first! getting better at flip

Recently hit clipper set ss butterfly reverse swirl bsos, omg flip is so hard, it was a good practice but I broke my body working on it, still feeling the hour of drilling it after a couple of days, I may need to stop my streak sooner or later now

today will be day 404 in a row

it's getting harder after being sick the past 2 weeks and now my left ankle is giving up on me, I can't play much before it get's hurt again, and even by playing easy...

I'm doing my best to end the year so I can say I accomplished two things
1 year in a row
1 full calendar year

Mega props on your shred streak. That's so hardcore. Your results speak for themselves as well.

day 405 today

new trick: flip step ss whip

also flip whip x2

I still suck at it, but thinking dyno bail to clipper really helps.

my ankle still hurts, I have to play one sided and carefully not to hurt it. Especially when jumping from the foot hurts it so much, a simple trick like DLO will hurt it badly.


the year is almost over, at least the pain diminished in the past 3-4 days, but by playing the healing process is very slow

Re: Mathieu

must be super one sided to finish my full calendar year of footbag
ankle is not healing much, walking up/down stairs hurts like a bitch, I cannot put all my weight on my left foot

shred-wise, still playable but my trick selection is VERY limited.

today was only toe stalls, clippers ;flip only if my foot was fully on ground and cushioned
and injured foot juggling, and working on Foe and eclipse, but that's still not really mastered, I need to keep working on those

I feel like I should just give up, but it's only a couple days away..

I would say you have already done the damage, do the next few days and then have a good long rest.
