Thanks! Yep, the USO was my first tournament. Never met you before, but I hope we meet again. Your shred was awesome. I knew you were gonna make the final circle.

Footbag is hard, but if it were easy, it wouldn't be worth doing.

Sorry to report, but I will not be going to the Idaho Jam, but don't worry there's a very good reason. A teacher from a middle school here in Vegas called Steve (another footbagger) and asked if we could meet with her today. So we did and she wants our club to do a demonstration of footbag for all the P.E. classes next Friday. If everything is approved, we are going to show a video and have a demonstration of the concepts of freestyle footbag. This will be to a school with over 1,000 kids. We are going to be there all day giving demonstrations to each period P.E. class. Then (again when it's approved), we will be teaching each class how to play footbag every Friday after the demonstration. We don't know how many Fridays we will be teaching them because it depends on if/how many kids are interested in learning.

The P.E. coaches want to introduce different sports to the kids than normal football, basketball, and baseball. They are even looking to buy 200 footbags for each class period to use. We're very excited. Hopefully all goes well. Sorry about not coming to the Idaho Jam.

Footbag - the only sport you can love and hate in the same day.

But that's why I love it....and hate it.

blurriest > tomahawk > ps whirl > pdx torque
barroque

Hurt my hip again 2 weeks ago....still hurts....I hate injuries, they always happen when I'm really starting to progress. Can't do a few moves/links because of it, but the majority I can still do.

I love my G-units to death.

Got back from SJFF. I think I leveled up this competition. Some things I can remember hitting.

marius > pdx torque (first try)
pdx torque x4
gauntlet
montage (2nd try after Brian said nobody in the circle would hit it, haha )
mullet bsos + blurry torque in a run
ducking pdx torque bsos in a run
janiwalker bsos
symp torque
ducking marius (first try)
whirlygig bsos in a run

Sick 1:
Mullet and something else....can't remember
Sick 3:
blurry whirl > ps whirl > pdx torque (need to work on sick 3)

I went up against Lon in Rippin' Run in the first round and lost after a good amount of contacts. Lost to Jim Penske and Dylan Fry in circle comp. first round.

I had an awesome time at SJFF. I can't wait until CSS.

Went up a level? Dude I think you just collected the 6th and 7th pieces of the Tri-Force

3 new 7-adds plus a bunch of BSOS 5's and 6's. Damn dude. I mean I saw you shred and USO and you are GOOD, but that list up there is SICK. Much props.

Take care,
