i got second in open.

ripwalks midstring.

bop.

lots of nervous drops

i got a 2004 worlds finals dvd and a BAP raw footage vhs.

my friend lee got first. he got like 7 drops in a 2 min routine. he deserves to be SE champion.


i also sold all my bags. i wasnt expecting too, cause there were more kids than older kids. but they all found some money somehow, and got them a new footbag from me.

i plan on putting that money away for a nintendo wii and some games for it when it comes out.

im exhausted.

i had a great day, with lots of circle shred and i busted some sick strings infront of lots of people.

i guess im gonna go, im super tired.

cya tomorrow.

not yet. tomorrow.

right now ive got a bizzaro yello/petit
and a sci style navy and blue hawii bag.
tomorro is a poke bag and another bizzaro.

hooray!! footbag sales!!

(ive been such a slave recently, stitcing 10 bags in like 7 days. plus two today, and two tomorrow.)

but they sell faster than i finish them. thats always good.

after this tourney and i catch up on orders, all my trades, and whatever misc sales i have left, im taking a brake (in like 3 weeks :roll: )

ive got such a good thing gonig for me lately.

ive done well in competition, finishing 2nd in open. i got lots of footbags ordered,sold,and traded.

i guess im just happy. things have been going really well. dates. going and seeing movies and going out for coffee. drinking as much soda as i can.
i wish this stuff never ended. especially the weekly tourney visit. thats cool.

and that reminds me!! chicago is this weekend!!! i want to compete, but my legs have been fucked for a while now. ill play later adn try to get some solid strings in.

selling all those bags this weekend earned me enough to get a nintendo wii when it comes out. i think off this weekends sales, i might put back for a....hm... what do i want... im already getting more climas...ive got all the bags i could ever need... i suppose i could do something nice for someone else... but thats no fun... im buying more facile thats fo sho.. but what else? i suppose i dont have any clothes.. so clothes it is... but cool ones...

i just finished a pretty good session.

i hit blur, and ripwalk in the same string. not bsos. but still.

also, i hit eggbeater in a string, followed by a dimwalk or something

my new trick for this sesh is stepping same side butterfly (sidewalk i think)

i shredded a new bag too. one of my best. i hope someone good gets it.

im still winning my climas on ebay, at 15bucks. i hope i win.

i think i should cut out a bag or two. but whatev.

all in all, a good (mostly guiltless) shred.

props all the new madness you've hit geez!! You are hitting fives now? Goodness! Sounds like going to tournament really brought your game to the next level. Hopefully the PDX tourney will have a similar effect on me. Also, congratulations on selling all of your bags. Sounds like they're getting pretty popular.

Glad to hear all is well in the footbag universe for you.

i hit atom smasher like 3 times ina string today. also good long guiltless.

i hit datw going down in an elevator today. it was weird. i know i could have hit tatw. i had my foot in position for stalling way early.

i need to work on my whirls and ducking. id do more if i wasnt so busy all the time. i never have time to shred.

i made my best bag replacement bag today. i shall retire my faithful red and white #50 for my grey and white #69. that red bag has seen everything from wins and runner ups to landing in dishes and cans of grease.

oh well. ill let you see them both together later.

bye,

(familyguys on, you understand)

so ive been drilling and hitting new shit lately.

i hit bubba same butter, and bubba op butter.

pigbeater and smog (roll off :evil: )

the other day i hit pdx bubba beater

ive worked ducking more.

i hate spinning, cause i get dizzy (i cant ride spinning rides, i get sick)

and im up to bag #75 now. looks like this will be a trade bag. (punch/navy)

i want to hit some new pixie stuff. or maybe i should tighten up my fairy set ...


i think i will make a trip to a good footbag event in the next 3 months... but which one...

life has been good.

i got a deposit back on my dorm... wasnt expecting that (i fucked that shit up....)

and i bought a gamecube... (im a smash bro addict)

i bought holly clima1s and g units. womens shoes are so cheap! i got her both for less than what ive paid for any 1 pair of my shoes.


i challenge everyone who reads my blog to hit bubba midstring.

guess im done writin...

I've been playing with the bag that you traded with me lately. Although I switched the filler to steel shot, I tried to calculate the amount of fill and weight you decided to put into the bag so that the feel hasn't changed. It has become a pretty stallable bag with some break-in (mainly the Tulip), and I'm happy with how it controls. I love doing Neos and shin moves with this bag!

Just reading that you've hit #75 on your bag count makes me wonder if you considered on cleaning up your stitches just a bit, though. Aesthetically, there are alot of noticeable wrinkles and distorted pents I've seen in your work. It's not that I'm bashing on your craft - far be it. I just want to lend some constructive criticism to help you on your stitching. An even stitching can lead to even break-in. Like, everyone can make a round 32, but when you can truly grasp the art of making each pent and hex slightly even with each other, you've got the talent. Surely, the money bag I traded you didn't have those qualities, but I'm working on a new template and placing alot of concentration into my stitching, and I haven't hit #30 just yet.

I'm going to try doing bubba moves with your bag. Hope to see you at Funtastiks. :o

i dont think after youve changed my filler you can accurately judge my bag. filler is a big part, especially when i dont use steel for a specific reason.
you use something like size 7 steel . i use size 9 lead shot (now, coulda been 7.5 when i traded). big difference.

also, ive told you waylon, that bag was not up to par. ive made nice, wrinkle free bags. the one tom speaks of is the shit.

you have to ask for a brinard special for such bag. my special is the bag style i play with. white hexed, low gather (so no wrinkles), heavy, golfball. otherwise, i use medium gather, cause everyone seems to want puffy panels.


i guess my stitching could be cleaned up. i really have been trying, and getting my bags more round at the moment, as before they were lumpy sometimes.

my ability has improved since that trade as well. we can trade again soon,

(this is why i dont like trading)

also, im not ranting. im just giving my opinion.

alittle footbag today. almost smog. almost pigbeater

but whatever. im probably not gonna post for a while. tired of all the bullshit from these boards.

people should know not to take filler out of bags.

but fuck it... your bags are awesome. people up in chicago like your bags (tom, riley, zeke, henry, etc.)



futurama kicks ass.. who cares if thats off topic.

so tomorrow i turn 20.

my dad has the same birthday as me. he'll be 50 this year.

ive sorta been buying my own birthday presents this year.

i bought myself

a gamecube,(just so i could play smash bros)
supermario sunshine.
ren and stimpy seasons five and more of 4
happy tree friends season 1 (overkill)
new cilmas
and a few bags of weed for celebrating

im working on getting gunits too.

i dont know what to feel now. should i be proud? was doing all the work to get this far worth it?

i had a sesh today. solo.

i drilled osis and ducking, along with barefoot stuff.

(it was the first sesh in my new fully modded climas.)

my strings are improving alittle, i can now string with bop ( bop is usually bsos) with some tiltless and guiltless peppered in...

i have a long day planned for tomorrow. i bet theres lots of sex, some drugs (dont do drugs, mmkay) , video games, tv, presents, footbag, and more sex.

aside from presents, thats pretty normal i gues... but i get bday dinner at chinese buffet.!!!!

hopefully ill see some friends, and ill give my dad his gift.



if anyone wants to send some birthday love, be my guest. ill supply my addy at request.



happy biirthday me.
