Well,just got in from a session outside,very hot outside. So I was trying zulu toe stall. So I was able to seal it from setting it from an inside kick. So when I tried to seal it from toe set I couldn't. Now this seems weird,cause when ever I am just messing around and I try a toe set I set it up fine no problems at all. But it seems when I know I am going to be setting into a move I can't do it. The bag always goes crooked. It might be because I havent modded the toe of my Adidas Campus's so I am gonna mod them. I will try and keep this updated as much as I can.

Later,

Update here,I just sealed zulu toe stall. I sealed it from a toe set and when I sealed it I started jumping around. This is the first two add I have sealed from a set,all the others I have learned are from tossing the bag up. So thats not really "learning" them but I still posted them under new moves post.

Hey,I reply alot,I decided to make this post a blog in general. So it will have what went on in my day and of course footbag stuff. I will try and update once a night. I wont be able to update after like Wednesday for a few days to a week, because of going camping. Lucky there is a covered building that has cement in it so I can shred lots.

Hey,well I woke up today and went to work at about 10:30 and got home about 11:30,working for your dad is good. So then I came home and me and my little brother had a water fight outside which was fun. I dumped lots of water on him. So then I came in and about 2 hours ago I started modding the stipes off of my Adidas Campus. I modded all 12 stripes off bewteen the two shoes. They work great,even though its only one layer of suede I think I can still feel the bag. So I was messing around and hit spinning toe stall from an inside kick set and I was mondo stoked on that. So then I kept trying it again to seel it. But I end up hitting this,

set>spin>same in to out dex>same toe. It was so weird cause everyting is all done on the setting side, the sets and the dex. So I have no idea what that would be called but I was major happy. I have been listening to the new Beastie Boys cd. Props to K Double for sending it to me.

I update too much but hey,I think the move I hit above might have been spinning guay. But in guay you finish with inside kick and I finish with toe. I also hit spinning clipper but could only hit it spinning in one direction. I ended up hurting my groin about. Does direction matter on spinning clipper? Replys are alright.

set>spin>same in to out dex>same toe

That sounds like a gyro pickup to me (Pandora).

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » 27 Jun 2004 18:09

Alright so, to be a pandora does it need to end in toe stall or just a plain toe kick? Or either or?

Johnny · Post by **Johnny** » 27 Jun 2004 18:11

I'd say that it needs to end on a toe stall, but if you kick it I would just call it a Pandora kick thats all.

I think I'm going to start a blog soon..

Well,I woke up today and I was happy cause summer holidays were finally here. So me and my dad went to the bank to get a money order so i could pay for these http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 8114260391 Yah there awseome. So then I went to school and got my report card. I got pretty good marks,and I passed and I am going onto grade 8. So by then about 2:30. It was extremely hot outside like 27 celsus. Which is hot for Alberta. Also I don't do well in really hot weather. Like when it was about atleast 27 or higher for a week here I got really sick and ate like nothing at all. So I shredded for about 5 mins and decided it was time to mod the toe box. Pulled out the x-acto knife, and after 2 minutes of cutting they were done. Now my Adidas Campus are completely modded to my preference. I like these shoes alot and I think they are gonna do me well for my first pair of freestyle shoes. They are alot lighter then when they are stock, flex alot more without the leather stripes. Which is helping me with my clippers. The toe box is beautiful toe stalls are mondo easy for me now, and it seems to help my toe sets to which is good. I also like the soles alot on these shoes, they are a bit thick which makes them heavy but I know they arn't gonna rip on me.The toe box mod helped alot with making the walls go vertical and I did the shoe lacing method that Kenny came up with that is on WFA.Here are some pics of them, sorry for the bluriness I had to use a webcam because my Mini Dv camcorder is broken.

Well, so today I woke up at about 11, to find that it was already hot outside. Oh yay, so this sucked alot. So I lounged around on the forums till about 1 when I decided to go shred in the garage. Even though it was shaded it was still really hot in there and I was only able to play for 30 mins. It was a goo session, I finally learn't in to out atw and seeled it from toe set. Anyone that talks to me often knows that I have had problems with dexing with just my ankles. But after trying the trick for about 20 mins I had the dex down easily. It was just to catch it, so I had the radio on cause I shred good with music. So a song called Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash comes on. The Clash is one of my favourite bands, and during the song is when I seeled it. So I was happy, then I came outside later for another shred and I have been really close to legovers the last few days. Like I mean so close that usually the bag drops no less then 3 inches away from my toe. So I should have those down soon. Hopefully by the end of the week. I also am getting close to pandora, its just to get the toe stall at the end, I hope to hit that this week to. I also hope to go tiltless by the end of July with about 2-3 two add tricks per run and by the end of summer I want to have 5+ tricks per run. I think that if I keep schooling my 2's I shouldn't have alot of problems.

So yah nothing to much here. Oh yah lots of rain sucks to.

First update in awhile. I have been hanging out with my cousins and sitting inside while there is crappy weather. We have been getting alot of rain which is weird for Alberta. Usually the summers are dry like last summer but there has been alot of rain. I have had a really bad cold and shredded for the first time in over a week today. Only shredded for about 15 mins. Was working on alternating toe stalls cause my flip toe isn't good. I found some nice lavers on ebay and I can get them for about $32 Canadian. Which I am happy about. I might buy them its just that I just bought a pair of campu's. Which are ok frestyle shoes for $50. So for $32 for the lavers when I found them I was pissed. I might grab them and just wear the campus as everyday shoes. Either that or I wanna look into some C t 520;s cause the black ones look slick as hell and they look like they have a nice toe. I just wanna find out what has to be modded on them before I decide if I wanna get them.

Well,woek up today and walked downstairs and saw that my aviators got here so I was happy. I tore open the package and put them on. They look slick as hell. So for my session today I tried to make my flip toe stronger. I sealed ducking toe stall and diving toe stall strongside only. My legovers on both sides are getting close just basicallly need to work on the catch. My atws are getting alot stronger. I gave my sandbag a makeover today. Wetted it down and then rolled it in a fabric softner sheet for awhile. And I also decide to name her Peggy. So Peggy got a makeover for treating me so well today.

Update,well todays day started at 11 for me. I woke up and did nothing till 1 when I decide to go shred. I shredded in my living room on the rug which was nice on the feet. I am starting to stretch more, for about 10 mins now. The session was horrible. Everything was off so much,even my kicks were off. Toe stalls were off so much. I could only get about 9 strongside and 2 flipside. My flip toe tricks have fucking been pissing me off so much. Toe sets either go crooked or hit my knee. Toe stalls always bounce or roll off and I am using a sandbag. I can set the bag at knee hight and cushion the landing on my flip toe and it rolls off. Set the bag from flipside and leav my right foot flat on the ground and it stalls fine. Pissed me off so much, so I just skooled basic kicks and stall for 45 mins. Only good part of the shred was hitting my first pixie toe stall strongside. And I am getting close to flipside legovers. Hopefully the toe and the lightness of lavers(if I win the auction) will help me cause I am really fucking frustrated.

I hate the instep on my shoes I haven;t been able to get above 50 kicks in them. In my skate shoes 50 was nothing to me. I can't wait till I get lavers. Adidas Campus's can burn in hell.

Shaun · Post by **Shaun** » 15 Jul 2004 16:00

Well,woke up todat at about 10:30 and just lounged around till 12:30 when I started to shred. I was schooling shit like crazy. I finally hit flip legover. I haven't even hit it strong side and I have been trying it strong side for like a month. I am very very close on strongside and should have it within a week. Atws are getting alot better and smoother. I also hit in atw>in atw. First tiltless string. Its not much of a string only 2 tricks just back to back but I was happy. I am looking into an mp3 player now and I have found some of the 256mb usb ones for a good price and a Sony Mini Disc for a good price. If anyone has anyone of those items post what you liked and didn;t like about it. Thanks.

Also,if someone has the Miniskirt mp3 by Skeewiff could you please send it to me on aim.

I am on pissed mother fucker. I bid on some laver with 9 seconds left and then I get outbidded with 4 seconds left. I am so fucking pissed they would have only been $62 canadian including shipping.

I think I might just purge and buy some mesh ones from wfa.

hey if ur thinking of gettin an mp3 player do not skimp... u can get a 256 mb one for like $150. but for double that you can get about 50 times the memory in an Ipod. I think the ipod is a better idea. get that
