Thanks for the compliments Drew.

This morning:

BS: clip>osis>butter. this was difficult for me because I only just recently learned osis the correct way. its not a scoop, its not a fling.

it is a clipper stall. plain and simple. the ONLY difference is, the footbag is on the opposite side of your body than it is on a clipper stall. SO you must turn your body backside and turn your head to see the footbag in the CLIPPER STALL position. from there, set the bag like a normal clipper to complete the trick. , the catch is blind, BUT once it is DEL, you should be looking at the bag in the correct clipper stall position. it should not be rolling. it should not be way up by your toe, or way down by your heel. it should be in the arch of the sole of the shoe, just behind the ball of the big toe.

if this is not done correctly, you might as well end your string of tricks because the bag is going to be out of control, as well as the rest of the string. besides, who wants to end thier sweet string of tricks with a lame ol osis. perhaps a noob, cause then he would be stoked by a new trick, and THAT is when it IS perfectly acceptable. the only other situation I can think of is WHEN you pull off a BIG add trick and the bag is somewhat out of control and an osis is the one way to save it, osis the thing. sheesh. not like I'm an expert, so this is not official, I only want to see if anyone agrees with me, or disagrees with me, and thier opinion would only be accepted if they have the fruit on the tree. osis masters. osis schoolers, osis owners, osis demonstrators. who got to the end of this paragraph? congrats.

Thanks B.

I went and schooled em some more, I was trying to get them bsos smooth and clean and stuff. I got em bsos...

unfortunately, there was a big fat ugly nasty disgusting putrid smelly stinky old boring lame stupid dumb useless corpse grinder in the mix.

got it on vid, but... Im not going to post it.

oh yeah, tough twelve bags are the best. I've used several kinds of bags in the last 3 years, I liked my first 32 abshire alot. but, this tough twelve rocks its socks off. I love how it stalls and sets and kicks. love it.

buy one from ben at worlds, if not there, order one from him.

so, I just watched end session.

holy son of a freaking shonda.

LOL@end session

not because it is funny. its way not funny.

cant believe i just saw some of that stuff.

I have been rooting for JM to win worlds since I found out about the dude sometime last year. I caught myself thinking "I'm not sure vasek can compete with that" which is absurd. of course he can. not sure if he can beat him though, and I'm not sure Jorden can beat vasek. but I hope so. that is no dis to vasek. I love em both. but there's a new sherrrriffff in town. stepping sidewalk. ptshsptsht. my brain is still trying to comprehend that manuver, let alone trying to do it.

yeah, i was too shy to post this in the end session thread. I mean, the dude is heroic.

It'dbe like,
hey Jorden, Im your biggest fan, want to listen to me brown nose? oh, you don't ? well, um, your'e the best. um, can buy you lunch or some new quantums? here have my car. hey man, want to hang out tomorrow and play monopoly, Canadian version? but no one else is allowed to come over, just you and me. just like us best friends do. cause Jorden is my best friend, he told me so. and were tight. we go way back. back in the day when I taught him all about hacky sack. I taught him everything he knows. yeah, and now I feel special and loved.

yeah, that is how I'd feel if I posted that in his thread. so I didn't, and I dont feel that way, and I wont be embarrassed. but still, I'm going to meet the dude someday and pay some respect due. thats all.

word?

total confession: last night I dreamed that he moved to my city, and I was so stoked cause we actually did hang out. we played some hack and I introduced him to everyone I know. It was a fun dream.

that shows me that I wasnt kidding about the way I look up to this guy.

so, um, ben you met him before, and he is way cool? word? so If I called him up and said, "hey Jorden, me and some of the modified homies want to come shred with you for a weekend, is that cool?" would he be like "yeah dudes, c'mon over" (?)

also I was just so stoked from watching the vid, dreaming about shred, I just went out before work and accomplished a new string.

Clip>Osis>far legover>clip>osis>far legover. (this was a both sides run, did I write it correctly?)

do you know, that although it is weak for advanced players, it felt like a million bucks for me to pull that off.
