Apology to all of you:

I am sorry I acted like a mad idiot jerk to alot of you last year on the forum. I was wrong, and I sincerely apologize.

MCross, JMoir, KCrowley, Dfry, my heros, seriously, I shouldn't just come back to the forum like everything is cool and not say a thing. So, I am apologizing. I just felt like I should at least address that, even though you may have never even known I acted that way, or forgot... what ever. Peace.

woah...where did that come from...i don't even remember any of that. Im sure they dont care either. Nice on the legovers especially eggbeater.

Just practicing doing some strings tonight, nothings special. I DID however do about one hundred paradox whirls on both sides, but I wasn't filming. I think i understand the trick to that trick.

I watched that and zoned out for 2 seconds, thinking to myself "I wonder when he's going to add in some ripwalks or blurs into his strings. That tap was good so I'm sure he's got the speed for it." BAM real tight blur.

toe ducking?

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 18 Jul 2008 19:27

Really nice shred. Reactor, ripwalks and blur really surprised me.

I'm so jealous of your spinning clippers.

The Rhino · Post by **The Rhino** » 19 Jul 2008 05:39

Toe ducking. are you simply referring to toe set ducking, or something more sophisticated, like quantum ducking?

spinning clipper used to escape being understood to me for the longest time. now it's a bail. btw, I have now come to realize that bailing to toe (tilt) is totally useless ONLY because I cannot catch them. seriously.

yeah, I have JUST now really started to like strings and have decided to kind of stick with what I got for now and just string it together.

anybody remember this? this was a great idea and we should do it again for 2008.

Rieferman · Post by **Rieferman** » 19 Jul 2008 06:48

I was about to post (the other day) that I was impressed with your single tricks but was interested in seeing some strings. So, good timing

Good both sidedness. I think you'll find that work on strings improves your balance and your rhythm, and ultimately helps you with the bigger tricks that you already enjoy. Thanks for the vids!

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 19 Jul 2008 06:56

yeah I meant to incorporate toe ducking into your strings. Sometimes I get a vibe from a person's variety and style and I just got the idea that you could totally pull off a very solid toe ducking game. Like smear > plo > dimwalk > ripwalk > pdx mirage > ducking mirage > ducking butter > etc.

yo paul,

thanks for putting my name on the apology list. I didn't realize that you had been rude or mean or anything.

if you're going to be rude or mean on modified, you have to go all out, or else no one will know.

You need to start like 5 threads at once about how everyone sucks and how you're right and everyone else is wrong. Curse in bold caps at anyone who replies to your topic. make special signature graphics insulting those who don't think like you.

then, come back, and act like you're the best, most helpful, most involved, friendliest thing to happen to the community since Steve Goldberg.

Sporatical_Distractions · Post by **Sporatical_Distractions** » 19 Jul 2008 10:33

It's all good Paul. Was that the 'drugs in footbag' topic you started?

Nice runs. It's good to see that you're falling into the strings kick. Strings are fun.

Collage: Is that a young Sergey under the footbag? And I like how Andrew Grant is on there twice.

The Rhino · Post by **The Rhino** » 19 Jul 2008 21:32

I most certainly did NOT start that thread about drugs in footbag. I know it names me as the author, but, no, I did not author it. They merged some topics together that I had stuff to say in, and it came out looking like I started it..., but whatever I said, I may or may not have changed my opinions. I dont care about it at the moment.

whatever. just glad to be part of the community. glad to know all of you guys and gals too for sure.

shredding alot. sore. getting in better footbag shape.

If you are in remotely good shape for footbag, which, all of you are... you wouldn't notice like I notice... but you all guys are rockin the super good build for footbag. Can't wait to look like you guys, i bet then... i'd be able to hit alot of the stuff I want to... (ps whirl baby) I mean sheesh, look at the stuff I hit at a whopping two hundred and none of your business lbs. with this kind of motiviation, the proper equipment, and the proper build, shoot. I'd be busting fifty contact strings and going genuine too. for sure. word. symposium everything. paradox everything.

I've only got one more thing to say, which this subject frustrates me seemingly to no end.

...Chicks...

No worries! That just means you really are part of the footbag community.

Ha, sorry, I know I'm lame.

aw man, I'm getting into stitching, something fierce (furioius) and I went to go find me a tote for all my stitching equipment and stuff.... couldn't believe what I found. 3wnpd or whatever.

Darkshredder · Post by **Darkshredder** » 20 Jul 2008 21:17

dang. You win! I have my facile and random needles in a box along with a bunch of baseball and star wars cards.

it's collecting dust. Good luck stitching!
