Good luck with footbag. And by the way, it keeps getting more fun the better you get! :D

Wow, you're lucky to get to shred with Penske. I'll bet he's a great teacher 8O

Thanks man! I want to kick you with you so I'll pm you if/when I'm heading to montania alright?



I didn't footbag at all today so to me it was a sad wasted day but I had to study and do homework for school and I do have my prioritys streaght but not my spelling! but I stitched some today I'll post some pics later but one question on that fact when your making a bleeding hole how tight does it have to be to make it so its very hard to kick filler out of it? talk to you guys later and like I said feel free to post here whenever!

Aaahh, clippers and butters, ey ?
To be honest with you, this is the hardest part in your footbag evolution,
it least it was for me. Its best to ignore frustration of any kind,
just analyze the way you do them, improve certain things
and keepskooling them over and over !
It will get so much easier, all you need is determination and practice.

1. do crazy amounts of insight stalls

2. set straight and hip high

3. keep your upper body straight

4. keep your eyes on the bag

5. when the bag touches the instep of your g unit,
bend your support leg as you lower the catching foot for the stall !

6. try to freeze the delay sometimes

Yeah and try all 4 variations ( toe>ss clip, toe>op clip ; clip>ss clip,
clip>op clip ) .
Keep track of your personal records and try to top that everytime you play
!

You will succseed :D

Man, i forgot to tell you three of the most important things :

1. keep your clipper flat = parallel to the ground

2. tell your support leg to stay on its toes, goddammit :P

3. both sides !!!

Zeb= Stoopid nuby, kyle and me r 1337 compared to jo0!
Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.
