I was really sick virtually all of last week so I got a way longer break then I expected. I'm still a little sick and it seems like all of the weeks of playing I've been doing have gone to shit.
I still suck but I hit lots of atomsmashers, symp whirls, a bit of nuclear, pdx torque, lots of long tiltless runs and ended tonights sesh with a sloppy ripped warrior.
Now I'm just waiting on my pixie drills, dynos,DLO's, spinning and run length to come back.
Regarding playing like crap after a break... You'll find in a practice or two that sometimes a break actually allows you to forget bad habits too, and as a result you may improve faster. Good luck!
^^ your right about that. I'm fully back now and I'm surprised at all of the stuff I usually suck at that was a first or second try trick. Good looking out.
Ridiculous few comeback sessions with Kevin. His fairy sets are getting better and he can step both sides and hit stepping far rev whirling rake.
also hit fairy butter>rip. Lots of cool neo shit too from him too, really fun set.
I drilled links out of legbeater and also hit it flip a few times.
Also:
-paradox torque bs (flip is new)
-spike hammer+stepping ducking osis again.
-possibly clean paradons. they can wait.
-spinning dyno
-quantum dragonfly
- crispy torque>torque bs
-flip mobius off the foot
-legeater bs
-toe blur>legbeater>run
-legbeater>pdx drifter
-legbeater>ripwalk
-legbeater>pdx whirl
-legbeater>torque
-torque>ducking clipper bs
Haha my attitude about footbag has gotten 100 times better since last post so i figured I'd post to remember this. I'm sorta been in a slump but last few sessions were pretty good.
Overall I really like the direction my game is headed. I wanna make a video or something but my camera sucks and I'm mad lazy.
A few good things from the past month or so.
-ripped warrior>ripwalk>long ass run
-Torque is now my best downtime move. I've hit torque>infinity rpt, torque osis rpt and torque>rip bs
- pdx whirl>pdx blender
- blur>legbeater>torque
- blender bsos
- Ewalk!
- mad other stuff that I'll try to get on film at some point.
thats a lie. it was actually pdx whirl>blender>pdx blender. Hooray for one sidedness.
I fell and busted my leg open on a phoenix earlier today and got all bloody which ended the session which sucked anyways. badass.
other stuff from the past few weeks of note:
-smoke bs
-drifter x8. really happy about this.
-blur>torque bs
-pdx drifter x2. felt like ahren german.
-phoenix>torque
- run starting with stepping ducking osis with good shit including barroque and other stuff I don't remember cause it was like 2 weeks ago.
Heh thanks I just make this stuff up. I'll film soon though.
If I don't go on vacation and travel isn't pricey I should be at GRASS. What about Worlds? If that's in NY theres no chance I will not be there, what about you?
Yeah I'm definitely going to GRASS. I have to friends who go to RIT so it's a given. As for worlds, if it's NYC then I'll undoubtedly be there. I'm still going to try if it's west coast though. I'm going to try to work my ass off to make sufficient money once I get home from college. I feel like a n00b for learning about footbag two months after it was in disney, so I feel like I gotta go haha. Hope to see you there!
That sucks about worlds 07 man. However, worlds 10' will be bomb and if I go to GRASS we'll hold the scene down and thanks for the tip on whirr, I tried the symp method tonight and although I didn't hit it my thinking of it has changed and it felt pretty painless.
shits from a session tonight:
-porque almost bs
- peeking rooted osis>walkover>inside set miraging osis.pimp
- symple guybas first try. the way it should be and lots of other good stuff first attempt.
- paste>plo>smear>dim>rip>rip>blur>tapping clipper>string
Bought to go kick with Kevin Lonnie Lassar and film. Assuming we both play at least decent, the video will be up in a day or two.
I have really clean ps whirls now on oneside. Really fun move but kinda scary feeling. I'll stick to ripped warrior for big run starting moves. Hit my first six but I'm not sure how clean.
video is 80% done. Maybe post tonight if I don't play too much Bioshock.
some of the later stuff is like a month old and wont be in the video so I figuered I'd post before I forget.
-spinning ducking osis bs (had on film but i deleted it accidently)
- mobius 3 times in one day. good, I should be way better at this trick.
-stepping same clip>blurry clip>rpt>rip>side>rip>drop on side>FUCK
-really deep toe set symposium whirl-flip pdx whirl
-toe whirl>torque bs
--half of blubberman.
kevin hit guybas like twice last night literally right after the camera died.
watch my video later, outside of kevin lassar in it it's gonna be good shit.
Pretty decent stuff spread out over 3 sessions of which 2 were me solo so that helps explain the lack of lonnie. He hasent been playing alot lately so forgive him.
