"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87

Bump!
I'll go down the list:
- I'm basically guiltless
- not strong guiltless
- hit dimwalk swirl, janiwalker, and maybe a TATW (I'll never know if I actually hit it or not. I think I did
)
- longest tiltless string = 50 contacts, longest guiltelss = 21 contacts
- stamina has gotten a bit better for the most part. Kinda trailed off during holidays but still better.
- I got first in intermediate routines at funtastiks.
I think my only resolution for 2010 will be becoming a very strong guiltless
Happy new year!
I more or less did all of these except for being strong guiltless. I'm happy that I was able to achieve pretty realistic goals, even if I really only started achieving them starting in september.g00d33 wrote:-Go guiltless

That third one is gay and I only stiched one bag. Other then that, I banged out all of these way better then expected. evidently I had no expectations for myself last year judging by that post. I'm pretty happy with my first full year of footbag.7evinkogan wrote:I'm really excited and curios to see where I'll be in my footbag playing next year so here are my resolutions:

For next year:
- bust Gauntlet
- hit a triple dex
- go to a few tourneys this summer. Worlds maybe if its in US.
- get better at linking everything together as opposed to just hitting fun links and big tricks.
