Weird circle habits

Post by Anz »

Do you people have some habits you're doing in a shred circle? Something weird or unusual I mean.

For example I know that someone tends to fart a lot while shredding.

So what do you do? Go wild!



I can start the confession:
I scratch my balls a lot while watching others play in a circle. I also tend to burp in circles, dunno why but at least it's better than farting.

I stretch a lot, walk around in circles, punch myself in the head HARD when I'm not performing well (an urge that I resisted for years before recently starting to give in to it), and absentmindedly touch my nipples sometimes.
BRICK!

I make clicking noises when I see a nice combo or trick or after a run that is prop worthy, but not prop worthy enough to warrant a high five or what-have-you :)

I think I know who's the farting shredder Anssi is talking about. :wink: ...but it's not me. And about that ball-scratching thing - have you ever thought why there are only two freestyle players in Turku? :P

Actually I tend to fart too, but more in solo sessions. *Oh behave!*
I try to be tactful when shredding public. :)

i tend to zone out and stare at the bag, naming each trick in my head as its performed, and when i see a dope trick or link, ill look at the shredders face to see their reaction, if any, and then i look at the faces of the others in the circle to see their reaction. this is usually all in the scope of a second or so but i do it all the time.

i also look at everyone in the circle all the time. after i see someone try something really hard, ill look around for reactions. im a bit of an amateur cognitive psychologist, so im always studying what makes people go "wow" or "what the fuck was that?"

and my toe box

and stretch whatever I've over used

After a good run or lengthy run I'll walk to an unoccupied location and spit or blow my nose.

I am a mucus factory.

If I have a bad run or short run I'll walk off and shout Fuck, or I SUCK!!! Or in tears scream WHY DO I SUCK SO BAD. Or even Damnit I suck ass!!!

Either way good or bad long or short nothing spectacular happens. Unless I hit something new midstring in which case I get bombarded with hand slaps and fist to fist hits.

:arrow: I walk around a lot.
:arrow: I try to put my boxers in to a better position because my schlong isn't feeling good 8)
:arrow: My toebox gets creased (<--new word!) so I pull the flap (<-- also a new word!) to make it nice and smooth 8)
(I hope you understand what I mean..)


And of course I fart sometimes :roll:

I'm pretty vocal when I'm frustrated with my own game.

Sometimes I giggle at just about anything.

every time i play with you i end up clicking at people for the next few weeks, and every one asks me what the hell i'm doing!

i tend to roll over my ankles, walk around, fiddle with the cd player/ ipod, scratch my self and stick my tounge out the side of my mouth.

I tend to fart as I please in a circle. I just can't hold it. Besides, better then than when I'm in the middle of a run...

I also zone out a lot. Not because I'm bored with said person's tricks, I just space out. It's even harder when there are scantily clad ladies about. 8O

i think its really fun when i fart in the middle of spinning tricks and still hit the trick.

i stand on the outsides of my feet, scratch my balls, stretch my back.

I'm a constant ghost shred kind of guy. Like to walk around in circles. I also make hurt noises when others do something stylish or hit something big. I'll just go "Ugughgugharg" quietly to myself as if someone kicked me in the stomach.

I start another game with myself until the other people pass to me. I used to have a bad habit of grabbing the footbag in mid-air, I didn't do it perposly, it was just a reflex :? I sometimes just stop, and decide what to do. No one at our school stalls in circle so I stall it like on my neck or something and pull a trick. Or when no one passes to me I just walk away when they pass to me. So now everyone hates me :mrgreen:
