Actually the lack of shoes makes that run easier.

Props on the run with rubberman and mini rubberman in it. That's pimp. <3 shuffle

mASSIVE SESSION TODAY! Just so you know James Dean, that run without shoes that you said was easier barefoot, but I think its easier with shoes, but then again its all opinion. Pretty much today was the best session of my life although I did not hit some of the tricks I wanted to like spinning barrage, bedwetter (footed), and surging whirl. Way to much to post about sorry

All Im gonna say is my string length and hardcoreness of them has greatly increased.

Props man! Just keep it up as always. ; ) You'll hit those soon enough.

Dude, next time let's see some actual highlights. What are you hitting, I want DETAILS. Have you hit ducking pdx flail BSOS yet? Oh BTW dude, you'd be proud I footed whale tail this weekend

Actually, I changed my mind on the triage, super easy. Sorry, Benjamin Benulis, but some highlights just have to remain a secret, until you see them in person

I had a SWEET session yesterday. I hit tons of new tricks out of my new set both sides

Im also starting back up on the paradox symposium insert whatever here besides barrage.
I also got my abshire glued finally

I like big butts and I cannot lie.

beenjammin · Post by **beenjammin** » 14 Feb 2007 21:14

Im not gonna lie, ive been doing lots of double whirls and blazing

Im also somewhat good at double legovers again they feel incredible. I hit something today like
double leg over>ss toe whirl>double leg over>ss toe whirl>spinning whirl>mobius
To tell the truth I have been slacking off on my flip spinning whirl and paradox whirl, though strangely I can do ps whirls pain free as long as I dont do alot (I assume). My flip pdx whirl used to be my strong side, but what can you do? Im taking advantage of Daves time off. Oh yeah I also have been doing tons of gyro clips, one day Im gonna be really good at vortex, just not anytime soon. Although thats what I said about triage, but look at me now

I can almost hit it both sides. Its crazy because yesterday I started blazing and realized I could hit some pretty solid blazes and a couple whirrs crispy and original. Thats not all, but I dont feel I should raise anyones hopes.

Lots of shred, too much to post, but Iron clad was wondering about my flipside flail so I will post this one run
Pdx flail>symp toe whirl>symp whirl>pdx flail>symp toe whirl>ps whirl>ps whirl attempt. That was a couple days ago. Still no flipside dod

Pyroman924 · Post by **Pyroman924** » 17 Feb 2007 08:51

That's awesome Ben!

Just keep on trying that Flip DOD. I haven't hit Flip Whirl yet either after 3 weeks heh.

I have decided to stop playing footbag. At least for a couple of days. I feel like Ive been overtraining a bit, a problem I seem to have alot! My hip is getting worse, but in a couple days it will be stronger than ever kinda.

Pyroman924 · Post by **Pyroman924** » 18 Feb 2007 07:04

It's good to know your limits to some degree. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

beenjammin · Post by **beenjammin** » 18 Feb 2007 19:37

Today has been a day where I have actually been able to play absol.utely zero amounts of footbag.

I did however by coincidence meet up with one of my buddies from the past and had a really good conversation with him all night. I have so many things to say but no way to say them. Its kinda hard to explain. I feel that I can relate with people and what they say more so than the average person. Ive had a very peculiar and rare upbringing and I feel that I have a unique perspective and that I can help people even if they dont realize it. I feel that it is important that members of the footbag commulnity really embrace eachother and befriend them no matter if their views on things are different or not. What really matters is that we get over ourselves, so to speak, and take thing into perspective because the fact is we could have or could not have been born at any time and place in this universe, yet we all are co-existing in the same place at the same time and sharing a common interest so great as footbag, and that is a precious thing. When we die what makes up our lives is the thing weve learned, the people weve known, and the things weve done. I have a love for every footbagger out there. I am inspired by every footbager I have met, even hackey slackers and I will cherish every bit of it until the day I die and that is what makes up my life. My hip feels pretty good tonight so I will probably shred all day tomorrow. i usually shred pretty much all half-day at school.

That is a superb post Ben, I couldn't agree more with that. I have thought things similar but never to that extent. You kick ass man. Glad you hip feels better. Hit Flip DOD tomorrow.

Iron Clad Ben · Post by **Iron Clad Ben** » 18 Feb 2007 19:48

Great post Ben. I feel like that too a lot of the time. That's part of the reasons I'm always willing to get people into the sport, plan events, psych up other footbaggers and give advice to the noobs (no matter how basic).

BTW I meant to tell you, I've been skooling DLOs because I like yours a lot. It was a trick I could never hit, but at TXST I saw you hitting them and the dexes would clear the bag and it would still have 3-4 inches of clearance before it landed on your foot. You made them look sooooooo good. I'm glad I'm finally hitting them both sides consistently. I will BSOS it this week!!

Take care man. Have a good day shredding tomorrow

beenjammin · Post by **beenjammin** » 19 Feb 2007 10:31

No footbag tody either! I still might, but i hope not, the rest is soooooooooooooooooo good for m,e.

Pyroman924 · Post by **Pyroman924** » 19 Feb 2007 15:29

Listen to your body, it'll last longer that way.

But still hit FLip DOD next session. Just believe you can and you'll nail it no problem.
