Just went out to play. Must not have warmed up good enough. I Hit flip swirl, and tried to toss it to infinity, and then my achilles tendon felt like it exploded. It isnt that serious. I am icing it now. But i managed to hit

Swirl BSOS! Swirls feel so cool. I am going to incorporate them into my shred.

Next on the agenda:

Swirl>drifter> repeat

Are you sure it was your achilles tendon? Because whenever I do a barfly, there are tendons right behind my achilles that get caught and then snap back into place or something and it hurts like a mother.

If it is your achilles, be careful because achilles injuries are really serious because there is so much tension on it. Not to scare you by I was playing basketball with this guy and his achilles tendon just snapped. It retracted up his leg and he had to have surgery to get it attached again. Of course this guy was around 70 years old but I imagine it can happen to young people too. So be careful with that.

Props on the swirls, I agree with you they do feel awesome! Try rev. swirls, I like the feeling of them even more.

I want to see you at Worlds next year so keep yourself healthy!

Oh wow! What a session. Nothin massive was hit. PSYCHE!

First half of the session i worked on spinning and ducking. I feel like i can finally rely on these concepts in my runs. I hit

DUcking clip x13! Thats my record.
Right foot spinning clip x9 New record
Left foot spinning clip x7 New Record

Then i worked on some gyro stuff. I hit like 3 gyro clippers, and then went and tried for gyro butterfly back to back. You wouldnt believe how hard this is! It is so hard to get a straight set, and its just as hard to get a clean butterfly. I hit

Gyro butter>gyro toe both sides
Gyro butter>footed gyro butter both sides.

I had been trying to hit this combo for about 45 minutes, when i finally decide (because i am getting tired and dizzy) that i get 10 more, GOOD tries at it. By good i mean i have to at least get the dex on the first one.

I hit a clean gyro butter, then the set out of it was bad, so i bailed to osis. Then i did a butterfly, and hit gyro butter! Gyro butterfly>osis>infinity>gyro butterfly was the combo.

GYRO BUTTERFLY BSOS!

The last few tries i got so close to hitting it back to back, but i was getting too tired.

The session went from 9:25 AM to 11:41 AM. Wow

Well it seems that the amount of people who read my blog is steadily decreasing. I will keep it though, just to track my progress.

Today i had a 2 hour 15 minute shred in the morning. Then two hours later i went on a 10-15 mile bike ride. This was an awesome idea! I got to see a bunch of nature on the trails. And it is great cross training for footbag. I got back and my legs felt great! So just now i had another session. I only used my Jbag and Pipenbag, but mostly my Jbag. All my other 32's were wet from a wash.

I started out and hit

-25 infinities
-DLO bsos.
-SS DLO both sides

Then i worked on drifters. MY clip set drifters are REALLY weak. I dont know why. It seems like everything is easier from toe. But i finally found out what i was doing wrong. I was doing more of an uptime drifter from clip. I changed that and did them downtime and hit

-Drifter x3 from both sides.
-Drifter>ducking clip>ducking clip>repeat

Then i worked on spinning and ducking like i always do. While doing this i got about 15 people to stop and watch. I live on the corner so people just stop at the stop sign and dont move for a while.
Some kid stopped on my bike as i was in the middle of a run, so i proceeded to hit spinning clip x6 on my left leg. He was impressed.

-8 ducking clips
-spinning clip x 6 on left leg
-spinning clip x5 on right leg

Then i decided to work on stepping. I havent done this in a long while, so i hit

Ripwalk>infinity>infinity repeat x4! 12 contacts.
Sidewalk>infinity repeat

Good session.

read it^^

I read your blog everyday you post on it.

Don't feel discouraged if people don't respond, it doesn't mean they aren't reading it.

Nathan · Post by **Nathan** » 30 May 2005 17:02

I read your blog a lot. I live about 3 hours from you and see you sorta as competition. You're sorta at my same level, so I always hate when you say like how you did 8 ducking clippers cause then I feel I have to go out and get 8 the next time I'm kicking It's good though, I suppose-- competition and the like.

HG · Post by HG » 30 May 2005 19:15

HAHA. thanks You guys.

Zach. Lets have ducking clip comps

HG · Post by HG » 31 May 2005 16:58

Wow today was horrible

I had a morning session and just worked on some basic stuff

Highlights

Ducking clippper x11
Spinning clipper x 7 left leg
Ducking butterfly>ducking butterfly
SPinning osis>zooming osis both sides
Stepping clip>infinity repeat again
17 contacts of Spinning clip>ducking clip repeat! My record!

THen i went biking again, and then had an afternoon session. This was dedicated to my sick 3. I hit an awesome one

POGOWALK>SPINNING PDX MIRAGE>WITCHDOCTOR but i didnt seal the witchdoctor. The set from it was too low for a hand catch so i cant use that one.

My knees were toast from trying that combo for so long, that i had to settle for a VERY SHITTY sick 3.

Pogowalk>diving mirage>DLO

I am so disappointed. Oh well. Maybe my sick 1 will do well.

Also, i hit about 10-15 torques. And i think i have figured out flip torque also. Tomorrow after school i am gonna school torques/drifters

I just watched vasek-raw again. So amazing. He started the whole wauxspin craze. But i have one thing i dont like about the video, the PIXIE DOLOMITE SWIRL was so the! The dolomite was more like a symp butterfly. THe second dex in the dolomite wasnt even close!

I just had a trampoline session. I was hitting HUGE footbag and trampoline tricks. For footbag tricks i would bounce the footbag instead of setting it with my feet to get it in the air.

The one new trampoline trick i hit was

1.5 front flip bailed to back. I am supposed to land on my stomach, but at the last second i twist 180 degrees SIDEWAYS and land on my back. Its so cool looking.

Here are some huge footbag moves hit. They are effing groundbreaking!
i could only hit tricks ending on toe
Barrage bs
symp barrage bs
Symp flurry bs
Got the dexes clean for Muted Arch-nemesis, but impossible to clipper stall on a trampoline
Shooting DLO footed
Warp set eggbeater! It was so sweet. It might not have been warp set. It was just eggbeatering eggbeater

New sets
Hit barraging double switching set ONCE (trampoline>op in>same in>op out>same out>>) Could not hit anything out of it.
Gyro shooting. Like surging but with a nuke set after the surge

Dude that stuff is impressive.

I've tried to play footbag on a trampoline and it is hard!

Props.

that's funny. You should hit the first six dex

i challenge you to hit barraging double switching barraging double switch!!

HG · Post by HG » 01 Jun 2005 17:57

Thats an 8 dex

But, of course i have to improve my gravityational footbag game, so i will limit myself to trampoline session only when i am too tired to gravity session.

haha. Its so fun. Its REALLY hard to stall it, but its oh so easy to get around it with your legs. No shoes, ,and extra time.

BTW. Had another session on the tramp. Hit blur>eggbeating mirage both sides

EDIT:

I forgot to say that i didnt stall the blur, cause its to hard to set from toe and do a move. So i did the dexes, had time to stall it, but let it bounce on the trampoline and use that as the set for the eggbeating mirage.

Thats the only way to string tricks
