plyed with my mate ash for the 1st time on wednesday, he is one of the guys i got into the sport. he been playing for a week or so and he has already got legovers. and he has a natural crank which is so annoying, so his inside stalls are brilliant.

atm im working on my tiltless, i also bin doing this move which is nothing really but is pretty hard for me. it fairy set> farside pick up. atleast that is what i think it was. been working abit on my right clipper getting better though very slow.

tho my left is getting better every day. took a few vids which im gonna put together at some point and put on modified to be scrutenised.

though might wait till after holiday. because it down as a walking holiday but im just gona practice footbag all the time.

my mirages have got 10X better, that because i havnt practiced them til now because i dont like em, but i been reading the klouda manuel and he recommends getting your ground work down perfect so that what im gonna be working on.

been playing an hour or so every day, cant play much longer, i get too hot, but still awesome fun!!!

its been a day of clippers today, just been trying to do consecutive clippers all day. got to the point where i couldnt crank any more. haha what a wimp.

instead of setting to my clipper foot with my hand, stalling and back up, i did toe stall>op clip>ss clip>ss clip>ss clip....... etc and keep going until i dropped. which is not very many. haha
i was reading that manuel this morning so that is all i am going to focus on this week.

instead of chip and changing, so i can get clippers down properly.

then focus on something new next week.

i have been working my ass of today on my speed between stalls. after the vid advice i recieved from a fellow footbagger. needless to say it was very informative. though i couldnt do it exactly to the video, it prob spead up my game by 50%! and im not joking, thats how slow i was playing.

but i felt alot better playing today during my threads, thanks for all the help guys, though i still need to get used to the speed as it feels a lil rushed i felt alot happier playing today!

didnt get to play much the past 2 days, maybe an 1hr 1/2 between the 2 days, main reason, yesturday, started getting a pain on the side of my knee.

it similar pain to cramp, that stabbing pain, but it didnt travel down my leg like cramp usally does, and it didnt stop me moving my leg. it was only in a pin point place, and was only really bad when i moved my leg quickly up! (so all the time lol)

i was so annoyed because it got really painful that i had to stop.

frustrating because i was happy with the consistency of the tricks i was hitting, so v annoyed i had to stop.

gonna take it easier today when i play, see how it goes. hopefully it was a one off.

final note to what im working on, nothing new, im just tryinng to enjoy myself, i bin drilling alot on my clipper, now i wanna use it a lil! seems to pay off as it the 1 trick im hitting most consistantly!

which is could because it my fav!

hi all,

bin footbagging really hard today, and yesturday went out with my friend for the first time, was a lil dissapointed with his progress, he doesnt seem so bothered because he gets disgureged easily. still it was good to show him how i was doing.

anyway to the good stuff, im so happy, today i got 2new moves today, and they were both 3add.

1 was the butterfly, the propper way of doing it, (footbag.org says you can do it 2 ways, ither settiing with one foot then dexing with other, or setting and dexing with same foot which is what i could do before today.) but no one does it like this so i thought it was wrong.

but anyway, i was in the zone or "tora" today and i landed it proppa like everyone else does, loads of times, i must of done it like 20 times atleast today(not all in one go). i know that doesnt count as down, but thats well on its way with my muscle memory.

and the second i did a reverse whirl 2 times today. i checked on hackrfice.com to see what the move was (thanks erik) and mine was a lil scruffy but the basic motion was there.

though i was trying really hard today as a result i managed to hurt my knee even more, and pulled the muscle on the inside of my thigh! its a lil annoying but it was worth it getting that reverse whirl!

really happy with how today went, i did maybe 2 hours at a push which has made up for the last couple of days, though not sure if i should rest tommorow, i wanna try hit that whirl again!

see how tommorow goes.

going away soon so there wont be any posts for a while.

wer-hay back from walking holiday, what can i say, i did lots of walking. lol

thankfully lots of footbag too! wehoo!

learnt a new trick, R-TOE DEL>DEX (IN2OUT)>OP CLIP

i have no idea what this is, but it looks cool.

also been practicing mirage like crazy, so much better, really pleased with my progress. and bit drilling toe stalls both side which i think is what made the diff with mirage and all the other tiltless tricks.

managed to publisize footbg to several youths, and was able to give them a pretty good demo.
ironically i think i played my best infront of them, than at any other time. odd!

anyway, i will get a vid up asap for you guys to poke holes in.

good to be back!
