I didnt really try and hit Paradox Torque that much today. I'll give it another shot tomorrow. Today I did some filming and I almost broke my ankle when i tried to hit atom smasher on camera. It looks pretty wack.
My atomic set is coming along finely, i've hit 2 new atomic moves in the past 2 days (legbeater and atom smasher).
My leg hurts when i do symposium. It hurts at the very side of the shin, up where the calf meets it. I think im gonna rest it for a day or two then see how it feels.
I also need advice on my whirls. Im gonna try make a video on my whirls and see if anyone can find out if im doing anything wrong.
I thought i had hit symposium whirl today until i saw the video
Anways todays highlights are:
Legbeater
Atom Smasher (with shoes on)
Swirl
Double over Down

I schooled osis quite a bit today. And i hit some 5 contact guiltless runs, wooo!!
I also started to hit stepping moves out of osis (idea came from Ian). I hit ripwalk out of osis which was pretty hard. Heres some stuff that i hit:
butterfly > osis > stepping op legover > butterfly > osis
pixie legover > butterfly > paradox mirage > toe set osis > stepping op legover
I think i hit a few more short runs but i cant remember what they were.

I had a short night session today. It wasnt to good, i got easily frustrated tonight because i couldnt hit the basics. I trying schooling flipside ripwalk, im slowly getting there. Tomorrow is the last day of my school holidays so i'm gonna try and shred as much as possible.

Today was the last day of the school holidays. The weather was cool, and i had a nice shred. I schooled my flipside Ripwalk and i had flipside sidewalk come off my foot so many times.
Today I hit flux. Im pretty happy with that because i used my flipside atomic set to dex the bag so i could finish with a strong osis.
Anyways, good luck to everyone competiting at worlds!

Yesterday i was playing footbag at school with long pants and dress shoes. It was extremely hard but i got a few year 12's watching me in amazement which was pretty cool.
So today I wore my lavers to school, i had a few year 12's and my brother watching me. They thought it was really awesome and gave me props. I didnt really hit much moves infront of them, but i tried for some crowed pleases like: neck stall, toilet stall, etc. I also hit a few 4's.
Well before dinner tonight i had an awesome shred. It was in my garage and i had heaps of room to play in, because my brother cleaned it out. I started out having a few lower back pains but then i stretched it out a bit and i was fine.
I worked on my flipside a bit and i realised that it isnt so hard if you just concentrate.
I really wanted to play longer but dinner was ready. I had Pixie Torque roll off my foot several times and i think i could've hit Assassin because i was getting close.

This blog will also be about yesterday.
Yesterday I kicked to good music. My brother connected up the old computer in the garage and it had mp3's on it. I play a lot better to music. I have only been playing to the radio lately.
Anyways I hit these nice combos: Smear > Butterfly > Whirl > DLO > Butterfly > Far Butterfly > Osis(drop)
and Ducking Butterfly > DLO > Ducking Butterfly
I also hit Assassin. I hit it on camera but then i accidentally deleted it so i hit it again on camera first try.
I really need to clean up my whirls. They are 'the'. I will take videos of them and get peoples advice on them.
Today I started to spin. I practised spinning both directions. I ended up hitting Merkon (one side) and Spinning Butterfly (both sides). I really enjoy spinning.
Hi everyone. In September, 2004 i started to lose interest in footbagging. I had no one to shred with for 1000's of km's and my bag started ripping and i didnt have much money to get a new one. I also started suffering from shin splints.
Today I was wearing my lavers and i went to a video shop. I got hold of a set of keys and ripwalked them. To my suprise i started to gain interest again. So I guess im gonna say im back.
Thanks Jesse Malouf and Anssi for encouraging me again.
I've been drilling some basics for a a couple of days now.
I've improved on Paradon a whole lot since i've gotten back into footbag. I am quite happy with my performace.
I have stopped using my J-Bag. It has about 4 tiny holes next to each other in one of the panels and it leaks little beads sometimes. I'm afraid if i kick with it much longer a big hole will appear. But the bag is bloody good, I highly recommend it. Thankyou Trevor!
I'm using my Hermey bag (Wallace, which i won from a modified bag naming competition) at present time. It is doing me well. I didnt break it in very well and some of the panels are pilled.
It was very hot today. 41ºC!!!!! I was sweating so much after my shred today. Things went pretty well. I've gotten use to my hermey bag and i hit the following:
PLO > Smear > Butterfly > Stepping ss clipper > Ripwalk > Pdx Mirage > Butterfly > Osis > Stepping far legover(drop) (on camera)
I didnt think i'd be able to hit that. I knew what i was trying to hit up until the Pdx Mirage, so after that I just threw in a butterfly and tried the first thing that came into my head afterwards.
. Im pretty happy with that because i used my flipside atomic set to dex the bag so i could finish with a strong osis.
