Hmm

spinning clipper> void> osis> infinity BS but I suck so no gangsta party seal. :(
I always liked that run. It is such a douchebag run but I like it. You can just start with the void. Void is not one of those tricks that if you lead up to it with a spinning clipper it becomes easier.
I have come to hate reading about footed tricks but I'll mention this one :wink: pixie gyro symp dyno. If that douchebag Honza Weber even thinks about hitting this. :evil: Shit! Prague is like 7? hours ahead. I can hit it if I wear one shoe. :roll: I'll probably have to hit pixie symp rev swirl first.
Anything else cool? Pixie spinning is cool.
Has anyone hit gyro backside blurry torque? That would be a cool trick.

Did you really just call Honza Weber a "douchebag"?

Alright, just wanted to clarify. Your context didn't sound like you were joking. It would have sucked if Honza actually read that :P

Nah me and Honza are bros.

Headcount threads are in so somebody better make a triple spinning one. Felix, Ricky, Olav, Jorden, Allan, Vasek, Honza, and Bear are the only people that may have hit it and that is being generous. 8 people at most and I doubt even half of them have hit it. If anyone else hit it I would be shocked! How 'bout double inspinning? All of the above players? Plus Tuukka? You guys are dex whores or something with your paradons and barrages and blurriests.

Played today. Pretty much just spun. Nothing awesome. Wait I take that back. I was hitting the slowest double spinning osis that I've ever hit. Slow double spins are so much cooler than fast ones. I guess it just looks cooler to be in control the whole time than to go fast and recover.

If only x-spin was real.

Just finished playing. Can't wait for some awesome midnight session later.

Lately the weather by me has been fucking miserable. 108 fucking degrees the other day and then like 52 or some shit with cold fucking rain. Give me some 75 with no rain please!

Some highlights as of late are
Spinning ducking paradox illusions all over the fucking place. This is the most consistent I have been with any 5 add that ends on toe. Now every fearless run does not start with the same trick. I can start with any trick I want now. Wooo! New favorite trick and it is both sides. Flipside is hard midstring but not for long. Been a while since illusions have been my thing.
Gyro diving blender. Suck it piechu, you add hunting bastard. That was actually really hard. It seems like a trick I would have hit before but that shit was tough.
Some sick ass runs with pendulous and rake stuff thrown in. I had one session with no dexs. I believe this was the 108 degree day and I had some rad stuff. Pendulous ducking osis> gyro diving osis> inspinning osis and things of that nature. My favorite link was dsc> flapper for some odd reason. The staple combo I guess has been gyro osis> ducking osis. I have been through that in a lot as well as spinning clipper> gyro diving clipper and then the obvious bail combos like spinning clipper> gyro clipper> osis and osis> osis and diving clipper.
PS Whirl blehhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Almost got torque> bullwhip drill. I should have had that especially since flip torque is the hardest move in the drill.

Pretending to be another player doesn't work for me. I just get that Nicki Minaj song stuck in my head but with a footbag players name. " Someone please tell em who the f I is. I am ricky moran" just doesn't have the same ring. Nicki Minaj is fucking sexy though. She has the hottest fucking accent or maybe it is just here voice. If only she didnt have a fucking tattoo.

I hit lots and lots and lots of diving clippers and swirls today. :P I didn't have a camera but I tried that one shot thing twice. The first time was like one of my best runs today and the second one was second worst run today. The first one was spinning ducking clipper x2> osis x2> gyro clipper x2>(spinning clipper> ducking clipper rpt) gyro diving osis> gyro osis> ducking osis> spinning ducking osis then I fell. The second time was spinning ducking clipper to nothing. That run only beats out the run where I did not have one contact. From my hand straight to the ground.

If youre buying something like at dunkin donuts who should say thank you? The cashier or the costumer? Random but I was just wondering.

Anyway back to footbag stuff. Pretty sure I almost died attempting double inspinning osis.

edit: I forgot one highlight. Right before I wrote this I hit spinning ducking osis 5/5 times on my strongside and 3/5 on my flipside. Both sides were acting up for a while(like a month) so it feels good to have regained some consistency. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Last couple days have been awesome. Being home alone. :D :wink: Basically I have spent the last 72 hours watching movies, partying, eating subs, and hitting 5 adds while watching movies. Playing like 80 minutes a day of strings then hitting fun tricks and shit while watching the fucking outsiders or some shit makes for a hell of a day. House is a fucking mess though. Fucking bread crumbs and steel shot or something everywhere. :lol: Diving gyro is actually easy. Little apple is fucking lame. I guess it is appropriate to say "go big or go home" I gotta go johnny is about to die and I havent hit spinning ducking osis is 3 minutes. peace.

Had the best session of my life and only one person said anything. "Hey! That is pretty cool." No shit it is pretty cool. Honestly? That is lame. I was about to go home when I saw three people come onto the path. Usually I try to get some reaction so here was another chance. There was a dad with one son in front and another son in the bag. I played it conservative for the front group and for the kid in the back he saw some double spinning osis and like some other bs tripless. The runs I hit in front of people today were the fucking best runs of my life. :( Some 5'9" 260lb douchebag with a barbed wire tattoo got to see spinning ducking clipper> gyro diving clipper> ingyro clipper rpt to hand catch and he doesn't a god damn thing. Fuck him. I tried everything to get somebody to say something. Consecutive torques, swirls, whirls, and spins to no avail.

The first half of my session was fucking miserable though. Luckily nobody saw it. :D I had to puke though and it was just miserable. So for like 35 minutes I was just playing like crap but then I puked and the next 45 minutes were awesome.

I tried playing like me today which was cool. Instead of trying to jam spinning ducking clippers>gyro diving clippers, butterfly swirls, and diving/ducking/spinning swirls down my throat I actually played like myself. Like I did that stuff but you know what I mean. For some reason (and this is a good thing) I am more motivated than ever AND HEALTHIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Woooooooooo

Oh yeah now I remembered why I came on modified. Ugh how do you fix a hole in the sole of your lavers? It is really annoying. Acorns and rocks are finding their way into my sneakers plus socks are ripping and I can feel my toe escaping from the confines of the meche. The war between concrete, acorns, rocks and my shoes has begun. But for real what do I do. I like these shoes and dont want a new pair? Tape on the inside???

I'm at my highest level of play ever. I think I'm better than Juho was in 2003. You cant really tell from video but I think it is pretty close. I bet on me 1 on 1 though. Granted he was like 4'3". I am WAY better than Ricky was in 2003 and WAY worse. He went from so bad to so good in a day. Fuck. Pekka from like 05 wipes the floor with me. But I'm getting way better. I think this might be the most consecutive days in a row I've played.
Fixed my flip spins. Hit spinning ducking osis x3 bs along with some other shit. I wasn't planting soon enough on my spins but now they are good. 8)
Had a 10 minute conversation with a cop about footbag. He thought I was better than I actually am. It is hard to be like "Dude, I am not that good. Kindly leave so I can stop hitting boring shit." I did show him like 1-6 add thing. inside- clipper- gyro clipper- gyro osis- gyro diving osis- gyro diving gyro osis. He was kind of shocked that I wasn't going to tournaments. Just because I am the first person he's seen doesn't make me the best. Idiot.

Emma Stone is fucking bangin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That Captain America movie was terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I rate it as the third worst movie ever. First being the aviator and second big fish.
Damn Emma Stone is hot. Plus she likes spiderman. f'in marry me bitch.

This blog sucks. All i talk about is spinning ducking osii, how hot some celebrities are, and how styley some players are. :D

Ken, here are some shitty 5 adders in my bedroom. It is just a few single tricks that I really like. Spinning ducking osis, gyro diving osis, gyro dyno, pendulous double dyno, diving gyro osis, gyro weaving osis, spinning zulu osis. I like osis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vNN2FENAbU
Man that video sucks. That kid is frikken terrible. I looked way too pumped for that pendulous double dyno and the spinning zulu osis was ugly as fuck and probably the. I meant to get double spinning osis, pendulous sole dyno and bullwhip in there. Those three and the tricks in the video are my 10 easiest 5 adders. I'll get the other three tomorrow or something idk. I was in a rush plus I was playing like shit. I guess thats why I was pumped for a trick ive been hitting for like 5 years.

peace (mmhmm emma stone)

Pretty cool video man. One thing though, you should really expand your comfort zone. Put some variety in your game. You do a whole lot of Gyro _______ Osis tricks. That's cool and all, but practice your pixies for a while, or even your stepping sets. Try to add something else to your game. Your spinning and ducking is already pretty usable, so give it a shot and try something new. Keep at it dude.

PS. I wanna see Bullwhip on a video :D Been trying that, but can't get close to it. Oh and Super Mario..

My comfort zone contains swirls, spins, ducks, and pendulous. I will try to add atomics, nukes, and symple swirls in there. Bullwhip=easier than scorps. Super mario=ankle crank and free time. I can't pixie or step. Those=too hard.

After like 1 day of new stuff I gave up. I am such a bitch when it comes to foreign concepts. Gyro weaving is actually pretty easy. I hit spinning ducking clipper> gyro weaving drill which was cool. I also hit gyro weaving osis x2, gyro weaving gyro clipper/osis and some other stuff. Gyro weaving dyno should've been hit. Very doable trick. Wonder if I've hit it. :?
A run with 4 5s. Gyro weaving osis, gyro diving osis, gyro dyno, double spinning osis. That was one of my best runs ever. I used to be very anti-weaving but now I see the light. That 3rd grade weaving art project couldve been so much more fun. "Sup Mrs. Hartke! get a load of this." Bitch.
Worlds is a popularity contest. lame.

From reading your blog, I really think you should reconsider and try to branch out.. New tricks/concepts can be annoying and discouraging at first, but it is SO important to do so you don't get caught up with the same style doing the same tricks over and over. I'd suggest drilling basic 2-adds and all basic sets for at least a few sessions. Nothing's ever going to improve unless you work at it

Also, you're a bit harsh on observers of your shred.. like that cop you were talking about a few posts up, where you referred to him as an "idiot" for thinking you competed a lot. I don't know what your attitude is like towards these people when you do interact with them, but it's very important to be very aware of your position in footbag in comparison to those who have never heard of it. It's unfair to call people idiots for not knowing the true caliber of the sport and furthermore I would take that question as a compliment, as he is obviously very impressed with what you are doing.

Just keep in mind how small our sport is and that it will grow as a result of not just visibility, but by the initial contact one has with the sport. I started kicking with Nick Polini not just because he was good, but because he is one of the most helpful/enthusiastic people I know and was always encouraging and receptive. By having a negative attitude towards people who either don't care or don't "get it", you're only inoculating yourself and the sport.

But dexs are SO hard. Spinning ducking spinning osis is easier than drifter for me. :( That last sentence in the first paragraph is so fucking true. That video does not highlight my variety at all though. I mean at all. Trust me. :wink:
About people watching me play and shit I think you took that way to seriously.

Gyro diving gyro osis=schizophrenia
gyro weaving gyro osis=catatonia

Related to paranoia and shorter than the technical name so decent name imo.
The only highlight I had today was paranoia b2b bs. Boom. I kind of like paranoia. These tricks are really awkward for the first minute but after that are really easy. Tomorrow I can work on drifter or ingyro diving hmm....
