2 sessions today, tried to break drifter record but no luck, a lot of attempts between 18 and 23 contacts

No idea how I'll get to 50 haha, but eventually, I'm already better then I ever was at drifters

I checked the world record, 69 by Jorden, don't think thats something possible for me for a while!

Did some other stuff, got pdx whirl-ripwalk-ripwalk-rpt and pdx whirl-blur both sides
not many runs, mostly drill drill drill

Breaking Jordens record sure would be an accomplishment! I bet you'd feel fantastic about that =)

day 90
nothing good, sore throat, headache, no runs working at all, so I went for single tricks and combos

almost inspinning clip bsos, flipside getting a tad better, it went from 'impossible' to 'maybe if I'm lucky'

tried to hit my current dream sick 3, footed it 2 or 3 times (bedwetter-pigbeater-pixie motion)

got a flip bedwetter, been over a week without one.

Fun sess with Seb today!

I played poorly but managed to hit flip bedwetter on new shoes. Quite a relief as i only hit it with my broken shoes before.

day 94
3 hour session in Montreal with Francois and Guillaume

I concentrated more on long runs then anything, and it was quite rewarding, mostly always over 20 contacts

many 3x and 4x contacts

and I finished the session with a 55 contact run.

Not many big tricks in the runs, but I did my best to put some variety in them and some difficulty here and there

on the highlights, I remember getting blur-smog bsos and also fog-legbeater

francois hit some crazy stuff, one trick that was a pendulum set (dex from pendulum footing leg) ending on a pickup, looked super sharp

day 97

my first streamed session

some highlights that I recall:
fairy gyro dlo
fairy dlo bsos + pixie dlo bsos + a good combo to end the run (something like pdx whirl-dyno-torque or something like that, a typical Mathieu Gauthier combo)
a run with about 5-6 barrages each side with gyro barrage midstring
fairy ss dlo b2b with a midstring bedwetter, I'm really digging BW, hope I can master flip one day so that I can midstring it as well

I'm excited for tomorrow! You should film it using USTREAM.

Above, what you said about Inspinning, that's how mine are, "If I'm lucky, maybe"s.. I hate "luck" in footbag. I feel like there is either "I know I will hit this" or "I know I will not hit this". I think that's a good way to establish a game.

I've been pretty jealous of your Reapers, since it is now a trick in my daily drill sessions. My flipside is bad. Both of your's are awesome and I use them as models for when I attempt mine :) So thanks a lot for that.

See ya tomorrow!

thanks for the kind words!

my flip reaper isn't awesome tough, when I drill It's ok, but when I let go like I did the past weeks, it goes Off pretty quickly.

tonight will be day 102, I had a lot of fun on day 100, too bad my camera battery died in the session and I didn't feel like finding the charger to plug it and keep recording

finished day 100 strong with fairy double switch after tons of attempts, but it was super clean and controlled unlike many footed attempts!

also hit fairy gyro barrage, but after looking at the camera it was the. Something possible eventually!à

Oh yeah, on a side note, something bothered me so much about juggling, I never learned mills mess, and last week I brought my juggling balls at work and decided to put time into it on every break. After 3 days I got hit, and now I'm pretty decent at it, that was my juggling goal when I decided to learn, and it is now achieved! I can now impress ladies with my sick juggling skills that are pretty poor more then I can with my pretty advanced footbag skills... ehmm, right. :oops:

That's the best. When you're striving for a new trick, and you have a bunch of footed attempts which aren't great, and you start thinking "man, even if I hit this I don't know if I can count it." And then *BAM!* You finally hit it, and its way better than any of your footed attempts.

Props on 100+ days of footbag. You should get a meter in your sig, like Jeremy OWheel, which shows how many days you're at.
