Jarrett's Footblog

Dr_inferno · Post by **Dr_inferno** » 28 Jun 2004 09:53

I just found this board topic and I decided to post about my boring life. My name is Jarrett Hutton, I am 16 years old, I have been freestyling for 13 monthes now with .HACK based out of Brantford, Ontario. Canada. Some local influences that have helped me a great deal are John Suderman who started me in footbag and has taught me everything I now know and Jorden Moir. Jorden is from Dundas, Ontario and has helped fine tune all my skills. Some outside influences of mine are Mulroney (health nut and amazing shredder), Vasek (cough, cough, Robot........ cough), Sunil (Um....Sunil leg has just hit mock 1!...he is just too fast), Chan, Vandal and Andrew Grant (Curse them all for being so good and thier Canadian eh) and lastly the Le Resistance crew (So many amazing freestylers in one place)..... Even the Hans guy is pritty cool. I wonder if he enjoyed the show. (If the last two sentances made no sence go here> http://www.flipsider.com/%7Eresistance/en/gallery.htm and watch Yacine's vid)

Every time I play now I can feel my skills improving with every delay and I seem to play amazingly well when I am put in a supportive atmosphere. This is why I have decided to attend worlds this year.

Some stuff I have hit

-Pheonix and Assasin
-Spinning ducking Paradox Mirage
-Food Processor, Bluriest and Blurry Whirl
-Fusion and Reactor
-Little Apple, Vortex and Scorpions Tail Spinning Paradox Blender
-PS Whirl and Whirlygig
-Flail, Paradox Fail and Stepping Paradox Flail
-A lot of other crap I am leaving out

Some stuff I want to hit
-More Atomic stuff like Blade Runner and Gary Colman
-More Nuclear stuff
-Mullet and Montage
-Barraging stuff (I just hit my first clean uptime set today)
-I have some Quantum but I want more
-Downtime Eggbeaters (Pinkus style)
-Some other stuff too.

Dream Moves
-Nuclear Barroque (I have a nuke set I just never use it)
-Backside Pigbeater (I think its Goldenshower)
-Something to do with flailing>Im not going to say it because I dont think it has been hit yet.
-Many more like Nemisis > Nemisis (Vasek)

Monday June 28th
Had a good sesh today, Just kind of schooled all the new moves. I was hitting Barraging like nothing today and I finally got my first clean uptime set. I was pritty excited. I rolled my ankle about a week ago and I am still a little gimp from it so you wont see any new moves out of me for a little bit. Well im going to go plat some more. and if anybody has reed to this point all I have to say is I just wasted 3 1/2 minutes of your life.......Ha Ha.

June 29th 2004

After my big long shred last night my left shin was hurting a little. I just started in a new pair of lavers and I still have to stock insole in. This is what caused me to have shin splints when I started freestyling in my first pair. Hopefully I can pick some insoles up tonight. If sombody is actully reading this another great way of stopping huge amounts of abuse to travel up your leg when playing heavily is to drill hole in your shoes. I have drilled both pairs of lavers that I have played in now and it is the best mod I have ever done. *Just a note. It is easier to drill the shoes when you first get them instead of after playing in them for a while. After you have put weight on the sole it starts to compres and it is really hard to get a drill bit through them strait. I found this out when I drilled my first pair of lavers when the white patches started to show on the toe. For the drilling of the shoes I used a 1/4 inch bit and drilled 4 holes.

After drilling them you can really notice a diferance in the compression of the sole. The only problem with this mod is that by drilling the holes in the sole you weaken its side-to-side strenth, this means that the sole will compress to the side too. If you have drilled soles ,put weight on the foot and start to roll your foot inwards like your going to do an inside delay. You will notice that some of the support that you had before is now gone. You can stop this by pushing little dowls into the hole on the outside of the shoe. The dowels stop the compression in the outwards motion so it is harder to roll your ankle. The dowels only need to be about 1/2 inch long, otherwise you will start to feel them when you are playing (not good). For dolews I just used drywall ancors that I cut off to about 1/2 long then glued into place. Just remember that when you are choosing dowel material that it shoould be light and it should not stick out of the shoe. Just incase of accidental feet flying close to someone.

Now that that is out of the way I had the sweetest rain session today. I love freestyling in the rain. The bag gets wet but that is the only downside. Moves wise I was really just scooling but I was hitting huge amounts of Atomic stuff on both sides, Had FLIP PS Whirl close to my foot and I almost hit Blurry Double Switchover. Im not done so this may get updated at the end of the session.

July 2 2004

Sorry about the delay on posts. On Wed. John Suderman stopped by my place for a nice little sesh. We played for about 3 hour and I just tried some long runs without any two adds. I think I am almost totaly Guiltless now (I Think thats what it is called?). Hopefully this weekend the whole club will be out so we can get some serious shred done. SOLO SHRED SUCKS. Sorry about that I just had to throw that in. So thats about it. I should be updating this later after I play today.....maybe I will hit something new.

Update
Wow. I have only been playing for a week in my new shoes that I just moded. I have already worn through to the white undersole. Surprisingly the wear is equal from side to side. My new shoes feel heavier than my old ones but its all mental thing. I do like them better though for some reason. Anyways I had a really good session going today and I scooled some seriosly sick moves. When it all boiled down I hit FLIP PS Whirl. Worlds here I come. When I was playing I was hitting strings like Dimwalk > Blizzard > Paradon > Other crap. Also I was hitting some sick atomic stuff too. Well thats the update......for now.

Woop-Woop-Symp. Mirage > Symp. Pixie > Symp. Mirage > Symp. Pixie

July 3 2004

Wow I had a sick session today with the club. The only person not out this week was John Suderman...... you missed a good week John. So when I started to play I was hitting crazy long runs and sick single tricks. I hit Ps Whirl first attempt when Adam Dexter asked to see it then I had Blurry Whirl > Blurry Whirl on my foot. Then I pulled out some Shooting. I have been practicing my shooting set for a couple weeks now but had yet to hit anything out of it. I finally had some good sets and hit Shooting same Legover, Shooting Paradox Mirage, Shooting Butterfly and Stepping tap (Shooting same Mirage) . So thier are four new tripple dexes to add to the list. I can now see the progress I have from day to day, which is really cool

On another note. After my shred session I started walking to my girlfriends house even though I knew that she worked till 4(It was 3 at the time). The reason I did this was to see if here neighbour from a little ways down the street was outside. I have been wanting to talk to him for some time now because he owns two 1986 Toyota Supras. supras are crazy, they are a high performance smaller type car with a monsters in-line 6 engine. These cars are street machine when they are stock. I had previously sent a letter to the owner of the cars since one of them had been used as a parts car. I wanted to see if he was going to be selling it any time soon. It turns out that the owner bought the car for $300 bucks last October. The bonus was that the car ran when he got it and he hasn't taken anything major off of it. The only peice he still wants is the differential out of it (all Supras are rwd). SCORE!!! my father owns a towing buisnes and I could get a rear end no problem..... or I can just trade the rear end for the one in his car that is making a funny noise (the noise has gone away but he wants to make sure he does not bust the back end out of his nice Supra). After talking with him for a while he asked me a question out of the blue. "Does your fater own a garage too". Of couse I said yes and then he said "I may make you a deal, you take the car to your garage and take out the differential and give it to me the car is yours".....................I was breathless, My dream car a Toyota Supra just handed to me and all I have to do is a rear end swap. He is still thinking about it right now and he said he would contact me real soon. I am sooooo excited.

Atom watch your back, thier may be a Supra coming after you and that cute little Sunfire

September 1 2004

Wow......I just came to relization that my footblog sucks ass. Meh. I havnt updated for a while so I will give you the lowdown on what has happened since worlds. Almost every day I wake up eat, play some xbox, Shred, sit Shred some more, Go to work, come home and Shred some more.

I am actully logging some major hours playing now. Some of that time was logged at Canadas Wonderland at .//HACK's Summer End Shred. I had an awsome time and saw some sick stuff. Stuff like Jorden Moir bust our one of his Phatest moves yet. Spinning Ducking Voodoo. <It even deserved its own sentence its so huge.

Since I have been scooling so muck latly I have been hitting some cool stuff too. Stuff like Pigbeater, Flurry, Blurriest Bsos. My tripple dex tricks are starting to get really stronge which is super cool. Right now I am working on a set concept that I am surprisingly good at on both sides. Hopefully in about a week I will be creating my own moves. Yay I can finally name a move Your Grandmaw. I have also scooled my swirling and reverse swirling latly. So far I have had both Rip and Revstein off my foot. Mwahahaha. So thats about it for today and hopefully I can keep this updated.

P.s. Feel free to post in my blog if you want to know anything

September 1 2004 - part 2

So I was still having a massive session after my last post and so far I have hit a crispy Baroque (Barraging Far Osis). It was actually really easy and took about 10 tries to seal it.

And just to get people going.......the concept I was talking about in the post above has severly mutated from a minor changed set that alot of people have hit to a tripple dex set...........

Dont get me wrong though I didnt just think of the set, I have actully hit it. The set itself came about knee height before it started its return trip down to the ground. I have tried the set again but it is really touchy because thier is such little room for error and I am really tired. Meh thier is always tomorrow.

Sorry if this post ticks anybody off because I didnt tell you what the set actully was but once I hit something out of it then everyone will know. I can taste my first invention.

peace

Golden shower is alpine bedwetter. Good luck with the new set, triple dex sets are very rare, and everybody likes quad dexes.

P.s. I was just playing around with a Wonton atomic set too. So tired, just want to stop but doing soooo well.

Sorry about that last post. I have no clue what happened. Thanks Ken Im really going to scool that set so I can hit some serious junk out of it.

On another note I just finished my long sesh I had today and it turns out I finished on a big note.

-Pixie Legbeater
-Janiwalker (off my foot 3 times) Its so close.

Dr_inferno · Post by **Dr_inferno** » 02 Sep 2004 16:24

So I have a funny story. Well, I think it is funny. My girlfriend was over on Tuesday night and I asked her to cut my hair. She working on becoming a cosmatoligist (sp.) and she knows how to cut hair. She started to cut it and it ended up in a mullet. I didnt keep it but I did take a picture. As soon as I get it back I will put it up on the net. I liked it though, watch it the wheels are turning in little Jarretts head.

ow yeah I just hit Mullet.

Well my sesh today kind of sucked because all I did was scool.

stuff like:
-Paradox Mirage > Atomic Stuff
-Stuff into and out of Paradons
-Paradox Whirls
-Atomic both sides
-Flip Pixie.

What a shitty night. My shin splints are starting to act up again because my sole is wearing through on my shoe and their is no pading any more.

Dr_inferno · Post by **Dr_inferno** » 03 Sep 2004 06:08

Ya so shin splints really suck. I have read through all of the resources on what shin splints are from and how to treat them, some of the stuff helps but some does not. I would like to know if anybody has any tips on getting rid of some minor shin splins that have bothered me since the first time I have played. I am just wondering if anybody has any streching advice, over the counter drugs(OVER THE COUNTER), or home remidies that they use. That last one kind of scares me. Meh

Aight give um too me.

yo jarrett, good blog.

you are really really good at footbag and I love to watch you progress and be all excited about it. keep working hard and kicking so much ass dude.

I can't wait to bust with you again,
peace

Dr_inferno · Post by **Dr_inferno** » 05 Sep 2004 06:39

Thanks Tom. I have to keep practicing to keep up with your progress. Shit man it has only been 9 monthes for you.

Sunday 5 2004

Had a little session today about an hour and a half long. I was just putting some cool stuff together like Reverse Swirls mid run just to show that I can slow down gameplay and work on controlling my moves a bit better. I also hit some bad ass runs with no bails in them. I do belive the one had Blizard > Paradon both sides in it. Also scooled some PS Whirls and figured out the whole trick. My style just was not cutting it so I gave up and started from square one again. I figured out were the set had to be, when I planted and ect. Pritty good little sesh.

Ps. I miss my Mullet

Dr_inferno · Post by **Dr_inferno** » 06 Oct 2004 05:35

Wow. I really suck at keeping this thing updated. Meh. Nobody reads it anyways. Latly I have not been playing the most but I am still advancing. My flipside has almost caught up with the strongside.

Some newer stuff is illusioning illusion (Eggbeater bailed to toe) and thats it right now.

stuff i have had off my foot is Pixie quantom legover, onterage, mantis, rip and revstien,

my dream move for right now has to be Pixie Fusion though. That would be a phat move, Jorden has seen me get somewhat close to it.

Posi-Cole · Post by **Posi-Cole** » 06 Oct 2004 08:49

Wow, I just re-read your blog intro, and I must say, I had NO idea you were 16 years old!

You look and act (and bust) a lot older than that, and I just assumed you were at least 18-20 or older.

That's all I've got to say .. I didn't know you were only 16, and as a result you are going to be amazing in a couple years when you hit your prime.

ahaha, we totally had that conversation in Montreal.

You're 16?! Want a beer?

Jarrett, come shred with us. We miss you!

Atom · Post by **Atom** » 16 Oct 2004 09:55

Once upon a time there was a young man named Jarret, he was OK at footbag.....then he came back from worlds with a different attitude towards life ( or at least footbag)....and then he stuck to solo shred....so low that no one ever really sees him....oh well...at least you make it out when it matters my friend. SES2, Erik Chan in T.O.....oh well man catch you on the flipside.

Dr_inferno · Post by **Dr_inferno** » 09 Feb 2005 12:57

I have hit a new low. I have started to smoke weed like a feind. I am playing footbag a lot latly, but only when I am stoned. That is a lot latly. My life has just plain sucked the last few monthes. I failed my g2 test. The thing that really gets me is that I have two cars but cant drive them. My schoolwork has gone to shit latly too. Ever since I started to smoke weed my grades have been dropping. The dope isnt making me dumber it just making me lazy when I am burnt. Since I am so lazy all the time I always smoke weed again to get my energy rush again to play footbag. After I play for an hour I have to go and get high again or I cannot play.
The problem is not with getting high though. It is the fact I cannot play footbag when I am high. I seem to dance around like I dizzy balarena(WTF). Yeah its that bad. I can barly string together more than a few moves because my muscle memory is gone. The only time I can play footbag well is when I look at something other than my legs and I instantly snap out of my high and consentrate on footbag agian. the once I am tired from playing really well give up and go get high again. It is a vicous cycle that I am plagued with. This is why I havnt been posting any new moves latly. I have not been improving. The only times I ever post my new moves is when i sober up for a few days and can play well. I dont know why I cannot give it up. Smoke is just such a huge purt of my life right now but I dont even want it anymore. i have no clue if anyone will read this but I think I have a problem. i dont care if somebody would like to post something. I think I am not going to smoke weed for a week and I will see what kind of stuff I can hit.

Also I would like to hear about some stuff that happened at GLASS!!!

Peace.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 09 Feb 2005 13:04

Jarrett, I totally know what you are going through.

I have just recently started up a new regime to get my life out of the gutter, you may find it works for you.

I used to wake up, get baked, do nothing all day.

Now I have to EARN the things I want. I don't play footbag until i have done my homework and I don't smoke until I have shredded.

Well.. thats the plan at least, I started it this week.

If you ever need to chat about this stuff I am always willing to listen man.
Drop me a line whenever.

Peace
Tom
