the only new trick i hit i have no idea what it is

it is a cross between a clipper and a toe stall instead of the clipper being done on the inside of the foot its on the toe. what is this called?

i played today in public for the first time some people seem intrigued but nobody really seemed too interrsted

i wasnt really trying anything i was not comfortable with but i hit ducking clipper it was just out of the blue i am sure i could have hit it a month ago i just didnt i was actually struggling with my osiss or osisi which was a letdown cuz thats basically a go to trick at the end of my session i was working on some things i havent done recently (atw, mirage, and a few others i cant think of) but i was hitting them really cleanly so it was a pretty nice session

i was just searching youtube watching some stupid fail toy videos when i searched for some footbag abd i saw some david clavens videos fuck that shit was insane (worlds 07)

alright i played today and i found out it is much easier when doing a pendulous set to spin to the opposite side of the setting foot

i am so close to pendulous ducking butterfly that will be the first move i am really happy after hitting

i am working on my flipside more now then ever before i want to get my flipside better then my strong side
a move/run that i really want to hit smoothly is osis>ss rake
i updated the above list
and if any of the guests on the site that live near me want to shred start playing i currrently shred by myself i dont evem have hacky sackers or four square players near me
oh and i hit gyro clipper for first time its an alright move

anyone wanna explain stepulous and nuclear? without a link to the trick tips forum

i played early this morning i dont know why but i woke up early and wasnt tired and started shreding i did some really weird stuff because my pixie and pendulous sets were atrocious so i started getting creative pardon the following lenghty descriptions of what i hit as my footbag terminology is bag

1.outside pendulous set- it is like a pendulous set but from the outside of the foot
2.inside pendulous set- same thing but from the inside surface
3.either gyro clipper or spinning clipper idk maybe neither- i did a clipper stall on my right foot then set the bag up turned 360 degrees clockwise or towards my right then stalled it again
4.this is basically the same thing as a pixie- you stall the bag on the outside of the foot flick it up point knee out swing calf over and then that little motion of the foot a the bag is being propeleed in the air to the desired destination(only difference is its not from thr toe)

a few strings stood out not for difficulty but they contained alot of vital fundamentals of footbag in a few easy moves

outside stall> ss osis> ss clipper> butterfly(the butterfly is finished with the foot that did everything before that)

outside stall> ss xbdoy toe stall> op pendulous> ss clipper

then there are the things that i really am not capable of but i almodt hit

pendulous set> triple spinnging pendulum
the pendulous set was really high i would have hit it but i forgot i hadnto cushion more for the xtra velocity

i hit which i was kind of happy with
pendulous>pendulum x3

i hit pendulous rake which is very cool looking

i hit smokey bear fuck yeah it was clean it was a lot harder then i thought it would be(its a really low set) and i also hit a similar trick that i havent seen before you can read about it in 2 post above (i need a video camera!) does anybody want to give me one or give me a laptop with a web cam

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 09 Jul 2009 12:05

highlight runs
pendulous> sole stall> xbody rake (there is no spin after the set try it)
osis> ss clipper> ss butterfly>ss pendulous>ss pendulum
butterfly> rake(dexing leg)

new moves (all no spin after the set)
pendulous> op clipper
pendulous> ss clipper
pendulous> ss osis

i played for a 2 hours today
first session- review session i worked on alt. clipper, alt toe stall, mirages, atw both sides both ways and a bunch of other stuff

second session- i made a few observations

1. When I an doing sets such as gyro or zooming I become dizzy. I did a little research and dizziness is caused by high cholesterol. So if you have a dizziness problem, like I do, eat less salt is a good start.

2. I also realized that I did some runs that i dont see in videos. Like I was working on pendulous>ss sole stall>butterfly and at first I was not getting it and most things you can look up on youtube but some of the strings i do are hard to find which sux.

3. Stepulous is the coolest trick if i hit it. I will describe what I hit. Pendulum with the right foot, went over left should stepped over with left leg then I did a clipper.

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 12 Jul 2009 14:20

worked on legovers, mirages, an atws. i was kind of rusty with these three but after 2 or 3 trys i was getting them

i was doing some unusual strings like

clipper>ss butterfly>ss clipper>op legover>op clipper>op pendulous
pendulous>osis>op legover>op pendulous
osis>clipper>op legover

this i was really happy about hittingflipside
pendulous>sole stall>rake

i was coming close to
pendulous nuclear butterfly

for pendulous ducking butterfly which i hit today i think there is a xbody in there cuz i set with my right foot half spin to my left the bag come from my left to right over my neck then i shuffle a step to my right then do a butterfly dexing with my left leg does the bag going from ny right shoulder to left side count as xbody comment please not that i care about adds

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 13 Jul 2009 11:46

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 15 Jul 2009 15:05

light shred it was awful but people were still curious

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 16 Jul 2009 18:15

well from the worst day of footbag (yesterday) to the best day of footbag (today)

i was playing at a local park there was some softball games going on and a few people i knew (the people you say hi to but never carry out a conversation with) one kid who i had played casual soccer with years back came over while i was taking a break and we started kicking (soccer) a little we had a little game of mono e mono going after like 45 min of playing we stop and sit down he starts to some juggling some rainbows unipressed i continued to watch as he dances around the ball when he was finished i whip out my bag and start doing some toe kicks (about 5 consecutive without putting my foot down) it immediately catches his attention

so i continue on with clipper legover butterflys and osiss doing those in different order then as the "grande finale" i did a string i never did before (after a few drops) pendulous>sole stall> xbody sole stall>butterfly he liked the regular sole stall best he came nowhere close to hitting it but he was able to hit toe stall inside stall thats it but was close to atw and pendulum if he played like another 2 sessions he would get em i wish i did not have my turtle bag and had a mr sandman so i could give it to him if he continues he can be good i hope he does so i have somebody to play with to bad he is 11 he did notice my lavers and was asking a lot of question like Are there tournaments? Have you ever gone? Why not? When is the next one? Where is it? Where is Berlin? Are there ones close to us? How long is it to Harrisburg? Why dont you go? All in all it was really fun playing with somebody who was really interested! He better continue

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 17 Jul 2009 13:47

fuck

my left foot which is way bigger then my right like a size bigger has out grown my lavers but they now fit my right foot this has been a problem for a while so now i have to go get new lavers

i have been getting blisters on my toes (especially the small toe)

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » 17 Jul 2009 19:27

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » 17 Jul 2009 20:34

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 21 Jul 2009 18:08

been playing a little bit even in small lavers and flip flops i played good on he small lavers yesterday i was working on osis duckin stuff mostly osis ducking osis i have taken a step back and have stopped trying tricks beyond my level now i am working on things like

pickups
osis spinning
osis ducking
pendulous ducking
flipside osis
flipside butterfly
flipside pendulous
flip sole stalls
rakes

i can hit most of those with some consistency but i wanna get them better instead of working on and getting lucky hitting (phoenix, smokey bear, pixie ducking osis etc) the one thing i need help on is rakes i cant do them from anything except sole stalls and pendulous sets any help on learning them
