Had a nice day, kicked for 7 hours of the day with some friend just called up some circle kickers an shred around the house on the streets, i hit pixie both sides butterfly both sides then i have no idea what there called... i do a butterfly but insteed of starting Toe>in dex> op clip, i do Toe>op in dex>op clip, some one told me it was just a butterfly but i dont kno i did that to both sides all in the same string was pimp as hell an got legover in there a few times too, i have made a goal list !!!! here it is...


MY GOALS FOR THE MONTH

Legovers both sides down good
Whirl at least on my strong side
pixie illsions
illsions on my flipside good an lower to the ground, when i do my illsions they are way high
mirages on both sides
Pixie clippers
double clippers with ease
Clipper>spin>clipper ( or any spins bc i cant do any for shit right now)

Some other goals for Gear

i need a BAG!!! reallllly bad dont kno what yet a abshire or a lonn but the dirt bag isnt... 8) KICKING it any more :D ( thats suposted to be funny)

i need some shorter tighter shorts ones i use now are very lose, the bag hits the base of them alot they are not tight enogh to my leg an not shor enogh i have to roll them up once or twice, not comfortable at all.

i also need some Dr.shols **spelling** bc my feet hurt after shreding for a week stright every day 5 hours +.

i also need to do something about my glasses... i dont know what if they arent falling off they have sweet all over them witch dont bug me too much but some times its annoying as hell, there plastic rim glass an fit very lose on my face.




Any one have any thing that may help me, sell a bag to me, clothing advice, move help any thing POST !!! i will appreciate it more then you will ever know :P

go for those teeny tiny running shorts or soccer shorts. I used to shred in baggy shorts but the ftbg kept hitting them. Short shorts may look gay but it's a price I'm willing to pay.

Dr Scholls is an essential item and I have the spray and powder in my bag at all times. My feet seriusly stink after a shred and after peeling my socks off I liberally spray my shoes and use the powder on my feet.

I hate it when my stash gets smaller without me taking part in this. Set the bastards up and find out who it is. A freind who steals your weed is no friend at all. Anyway, if they asked, I'm sure you'd give 'em a section...

peace

zach, you are doing your butterflies incorrectly.

the jobs to a butterfly is toe>op out>op clip

Naw it's really just that you need to work some on your jobs notation. It's really no big deal as long as you can clear the dex. But I don't know where Henry got that from. I'm probably missing it.

But yeah a butterfly is:

SET > SAME/OP OUT > OP CLIP

Always. No matter where its set from, that's how you write the second two phases of the notation. :) Hope that helps.

Yesterday i got way to drunk, desided drinking isny my thing from here on out if i drink, i drink, but no more chuging hard liq. just cant do that my body just cant handle it. On my way to the party tho there was some kids kicking a socking filled with rice an other things, the one kid i rember watched me shred behind my house a few days befor. I gess im geting the word out with out even haveing to try :) so i stoped an kicked with them i was in skateing shoes an baggy pants so i didnt hit any thing nice, dont really like to shred it up to much around ppl, im scared they are gonna think that i think im cool or something or that i trying to be a show off, when in reality i know im noting as good as some the ppl on here so i dont feel that way at all. But when i left i could hear the kid tell his friend "you should see when he has shorts on, he is F***ing awsome" kinda made my day, really good to hear something postive about what your doing.

Didnt get much kicking in the past 2 days. Been really sor and my bags all messed up. think im gonna go get a new dirtbag at the mall this weekend if i can get a ride. Or if i find a way to get ahold of a stitcher ill buy a nice 32 but i dont see that happening.

Well ill post if i shred to day or not, probley wont its raining out side an my girlfriend has my rain shred bag cant use the dirt bag, sand will poor out of it like nigra falls if it gets wet.

well to day was the second day of school, school is sooo awsome but the bus home SUCKS SO MUCH its a god damn mother F'IN HOUR AND FIVTEEN MINUTES !!!! and i have to ride with a bunch of little kids hafe my age and im the only one thats over like elementary school ( im in 11th ) bc i go to a technical school for welding and it in the city, ( 20 mins away ) but the only bus that gose back for the afternoon classes has to go get all the elemntary church schools. i got home to day at 3:30 normal time 2:40. well i got droped off ( also really far from where i live and where my normal bus stop was ) and some friends i told to meet me there where there and we walked an tryed to play the game "hack" while walking. it was great then at on point there was 6 ppl at my house all kicking out back had a nice circle going then some ppl left. me and 2 other firends smoked and hacked till now... 9:00. I played the hole time in pants, i hit same side butterfly> steping set to Op toe i also got a new conseuctive clipers of 5 :) to day was first time trying consecutive clipers i read on a post that this will help learn seting them and will help me with alot of stuff and i can see why :) i had ONE whirl roll of the tip of my shoe, and i hit a few nice spins tryed cliper>spin>cliper SOOO HARD i became dissy i started to get the spin fast as hell and nice. I will get it in time. I have Mod my shoes MORE! took toe canvis out, took the side walls to my toe box out ( for pixie sets ) ( and fashion :) ) its awsome i do like it but all for one thing... it have to work on my stalls im geting used to it but has any one else moded there buckets of there shoes then have truble with simple toe stalls ? i am devnetly starting to see a hugh advansment in my play :) im hiting invitys in strings like there something i do every morning.

oh i dont know how many ppl have gotten to talk to me and know about me, but i live in a small town school... i never saw some one in person kick a bag more then 10 times alternating consecutive kicks... so every one is calling me the hacky kid and shit :? its kool i gess... better then being called the drugy.. to day at tech we where tourching up a hugh stainless steel mixer oven thing for the school to throw away, you cant tourch stainless steal so we had to un bolt every thing!!! you cand cut stainless steel with a oxy acetaleney tourch so we had to torch it off with a plazma arc... SPARKS. ( this is my second year at tech school for welding ) so they had us doing work already and i was in LAVERS !!! so they got a nice dusting from all the torching and got some burns in the bottom noting big just from steping on sparks. then i pulled out the foot bag!! first time pulling out out at tech, and i asked the guys if they wanted to start a circle ( mostly city guys all thugy ) they seemed very intrested so we started kicking ( they arent all in my class we were working out side other class rooms have bay doors open just like are class and are next to us) so we kicked for a long while it was the shit then i desied wtf i busted a few butterflys> ss butterfly invity > cliper ss mirage>osis and the bag litterly just hit the kid in the chest, he was stuned every one thoght it was cool, exsept the kids not in the circle said that i had no life and must do it all the time, but they all seemed to think it was awsome in a hidden way :)

im glad about how every things going other then the long ass bus ride home shit but other then that SUNDDAY my day babie going to harrisburg for 100% !!! see every one there, gonna sherd my life away, hopefully learn some nice stuff, and get a bag !! thats a big one.

Lattley i been shreding alot and doing much better since geting 2 sandbags from matt cross room mate ( sorry i forget your name man i think petter? not sure sorry :? ) and i bought one there they have been helping me in progressing.

New moves

Far legover
proxdon mirage

records

15 consecutive alternating legovers
10 mirages
8 steping sets
15 consecutive clipers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These numbers could be much
higher but i dont school consecutives
as much as i should be.

i have been geting alot of ppl to open there eyes around my town and see how great footbaging is, alot of guys an gals are ordering lavers and geting bags and starting to shred :) i got a friend to hit atw to day, so cool that some friends local are starting to kick, this is gonna give me more shred time and alow me to improve easyer :)

Nonish-footbag related news, im *sniff* sick *sniff* as shit *sniff* i got the worse cold ever *sniff* i tryed to shred to day with it but... *snifffff* i dont think it was a smart idea, so im gonna sit here and *snif* an drink my atomic tea and hope the sniffing and coughing and head sickness gose away. my legs are starting to hurt really bad think im gonna take a break or gonna get a book on stretching an see if there are a few different stretchs i can do to help me out, i also have been looking in to some herbs that will help my leg pains, my mother got this wormwood ( i think thats the name) its exstremly bitter but you make a tea from it and drink it and it has simalar effects as marijuana but relaxs muschels even more, i been drinking it at night after a long days of shred, and the next morning if i stand up an stretch out alittle bit my legs feel like steel :) i can visabule see the mase amout of muschel building in my legs.
